**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

    People seem to be over looking the fact that the rewards for the symbiote difficulty are *additional* rewards on top of the epic rewards. Had this event not been offered, we would have gotten nothing additional this month. So, I'm happy about the opportunity to get extra rewards. Will the effort to reward ratio will be favorable?.. we'll have to wait for the event to actually launch to be able to decide. It may very well be with the aid of our new friend and all his possible boosts.

    I agree; be happy with a title most players (supposedly) will have no chance of getting plus anything at all.

    Exactly how much harder will the Symbiote difficulty be? Is there any info on added nodes, different fights, path alterations, or if it’s just bigger health pools and swinging arms?

    A SWARM OF SYMBIOTES

    For completing and mastering all of the Symbiote Quests, you earn:
    1x 5-Star Featured Hero Crystal
    2500x 5-Star Shards
    18000x T2 Alpha Catalyst Fragment
    10x 5-Star Sig Stone Crystal
    1x Tier 4 Class Catalyst Crystal
    1x Monstrous Master Title[/color]

    No t5bc shards? no 6* shards?
  • honestly they should just add 1 more katalyst to the fully explored normal difficulty rewards.

    Can the symbiote overcome masochism or he is basically useless at it
  • Alpha07Alpha07 Posts: 649 ★★
    I think adding 6* shards (at least 2-2.5k) would make the rewards more reasonable IMO.

    Exactly. Get your butt kicked for a few moments to get your health low, wait for the switch, proceed to kill.

    Use the randomizers in the occult labs to get this effect for practice

    I don’t even remember this fight which tells me it couldn’t have been all that bad. Bring someone like GHulk or Magik, or step your Blade game up.

    This is in epic event quest aka blood and venom

    A SWARM OF SYMBIOTES

    Symbiotes have begun to appear all around The Battlerealm at random. As if that wasn’t enough, Guillotine has requested your help to save a once powerful ally from a pursuing force. Where are all of the Symbiotes coming from, and how are they getting around so fast? Team up with Guillotine and put an end to the rampage!

    The chaos caused by the onslaught of Symbiotes has had some… interesting effects.
    Firstly, the Master Key has been destroyed. Yes, you read that right, the Master Key has been destroyed, and the Master Difficulty has been unlocked for the foreseeable future.
    Secondly, Uncollected difficulty has been replaced with EPIC for this month, allowing a challenge for anyone Level 40 and up.
    Finally, a new SYMBIOTE difficulty has appeared, which will require the help of a friendly Symbioid in order to complete, starting on October 17th. It was mentioned before, but it’s worth repeating: this difficulty is beyond what you’ve seen in Master and Uncollected, and it will require the help of a properly invested Symbioid to complete.


    TALL, DARK, AND HANDSOME

    Two Symbiote creatures have slithered their way into The Battlerealm!

    Venom the Duck is the first result of what happens when the Symbiotes run amok and start bonding with a wide array of Champions. While Howard may seem like an odd choice, this Symbiote chose him for his cunning intellect and is using that in conjunction with the Symbiote’s natural bloodlust and penchant for violence. Throughout combat, Venom the Duck will be able to activate buffs of different categories, store them for later use, and call them back when he needs them.

    The Symbiote Supreme is a powerful Symbiomancer who can control Symbiotes through his mysterious magic. What he hopes to gain from taking control of Symbiotes throughout The Battlerealm remains to be seen, but it doesn’t bode well for the rest of the inhabitants. He is able to gain and switch between the blessings of Eldar Gods and a Demon to increase his offensive and defensive capabilities, and to Nullify the buffs on opponents.

    Q&A
    How long does this quest run for?
    This quest will be starting on the 3rd of October at 10:00AM PDT and will run until November 7th at 10:00AM PST. Those attempting Legends runs will have until October 17th to 100% explore both Heroic and Master difficulties.

    How do I get the Legends title associated with Master Difficulty?
    The Legends title and rewards will be given to the 100 players who 100% explore HEROIC AND MASTER difficulties in this Event Quest the fastest. Just like recent Event Quests, this quest will take advantage of the Time Attack system we’ve put in place for our Monthly Quest Legends Program. This means that the players that completely explore Heroic and Master difficulty the fastest within the first 2 weeks of the event being live will win the title. More information on that can be found here:https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/27/time-attack-legends-program

    In addition to this distinction, these first 100 will receive the following rewards:
    #1-5 - 3x Tier 4 Class Catalyst Crystal
    #6-100 - 1x Tier 4 Class Catalyst Crystal

    Only completion of the Symbiote Quests is sufficient. Doing other quest difficulty is to earn Klyntar Katalysts to rank up the Symbioid to make fights easier.

    If any of y’all can’t 100% uncollected/epic this month then you’re really gonna struggle In the future because this is by far the easiest uncollected/epic EQ by far.

    @IanMoone

    I do not have a 4 or 5*:

    Corvus
    Blade
    Ghosty

    I do have:

    A R4 symbiote, which I used for every boss fight.
    A 4r4 Starlord, which I didn't use at all.

    I am not uncollected, rarely finish special event quests, haven't finished RTTL and haven't even explored Act4 yet.

    The Dorm fight wasn't fun but it was doable, I'm all for a content rant about difficulty increasing faster than average progression but this isn't one of those times.
