I understand some of you guys are having difficulty with this new quest. But, thats okay! This quest was designed to be challenging, and not everyone is going to be able to complete it. If you cant, hop back in some other areas of the contest, and get those resources to rank up some champs you think will be useful!
Not to worry, this quest wont be going anywhere, so if you cannot beat it today dont worry!
I’d suggest making sure you have every champ needed to do it at a decently high rank and you will save a ton of units
I keep wondering if people even understand what game progress means. The whole point of a progressional game is that you get better, you get stronger, and in return you can do harder content that has more rewards. The entire game is like that. Complaining that the best rewards are typically only in the hardest content is complaining that water is wet.
no one seems to be trying to say otherwise...but those in the middle have been asking for a long time for a lot of changes to help them progress even a BIT faster and that's what isn't being addressed. Kabam chose to address their high end 1% end game players when they've been catered to for a while now (even if no one wants to admit that) - i mean uncollected difficulty and epic and the side quests this year have been coming out so it's not like those players just quit because there wasn't more content. They've been busy CLEANING UP in war and aq map 6. the whole reason for seasons was to get them to play and spend more and that's been a smashing success.
meanwhile everyone else is still struggling for tier 2 alpha, has a few six stars at most, maybe one or two rank five 5 star champs and that's pretty normal for a LOT of players and groups out there. There is serious unbalance in this game still and people are allowed to express their frustration about that and the lack of rewards given in comparison. Most of those people being told "you can do this in like 2 or 3 years!" will remind you if we're going by the same schedule as previous releases, act 7 or 8 will be out by then with 7 and 8 star champs. so by that time what good would these rank up gems even do? lol it's endless and all goes back to the problem kabam made and still hasn't addressed in any meaningful way. Still very out of touch.
Lol middle players have lots of content. Bare in mind I don’t think I’m good enough to do this content there’s loads for mid players to do. From act 1-5 and you can do master difficulty... for most end game players that don’t bother with anything lower than master so there’s not as much as you’re saying there is...
Check out Seatin's free to play account series, it is so much easier for new players to progress now, what was 3 years worth of progression can now be done in less than a year, It has become much much easier for new to mid game players to progress but people are only focusing on endgame players. There is more mid-game content than there is endgame content even with this new variant difficulty, it's called a progression path
"No one seems to be trying to say otherwise" and then you immediately said otherwise. You're complaining about uncollected difficulty like that's special, isolated content meant only for end game players when it is actually included in the monthly quests that have five difficulty levels targeting different progress players. If you're saying uncollected is something special for the end game, then why isn't easy difficulty counted as something special for the beginners?
Actually understanding what progress means includes understanding that the game has to add to the top, because it can't add to the bottom or the middle. We can't keep adding more middle tiers for every top tier we add: we add top tiers when the game's progressional ladder needs them.
The game has added a ton of improvements to progress for the middle tier players. Master difficulty is easier than it used to be: it was reduced in difficulty with no change in rewards when uncollected was added. And then rewards themselves were improved. Glory *radically* improves AQ rewards for mid tier players.
A year ago, mid tier players were unable to even get T4CC at any reasonable pace. By any objective measure mid tier players' progress experience has improved dramatically and continuously for a long time now. The problem, as I explicitly stated in the message you quoted, is that some people don't understand how progress works. What you're "struggling" to get now are top tier rewards, which will always be easier for top tier players to get than mid tier players. But that isn't because Kabam is giving top tier players inordinately more attention. It is because that's how progress works. Mid tier players have benefitted from improvements just as much if not more, but it is not like they can ever "overtake" top tier players, because that's nonsensical in a progressional game.
I would like more r5 5* attackers and defenders as i have 4 r5 5*
Eventually having 5r5 5* defenders and 3 r5 5* attacksrs one day.
And this event will make alot of master/plat1 alliance go for these rewards asap.
This kind of post misses the point of permanent content and game progression. Mid level players have all the content end game players already did to get to where they are. It makes no sense for Kabam to create new permanent content for previous stages of the game's progression. This quest is for every player in the game once they are ready for it. Honestly it will be too hard for lots of end game players at this time but as rosters expand and more champs get added I expect it will become easier.
They didn't create content for the bottom 10%. Thats the difference. They just brought back an old event quest. They added content for the top 10%
I don’t see anything about “End Game” Players here? Just words like hard, challenge, and extreme? That’s what they always say about Celebrity Challenge quests, but they are not even close to this quests challenge in varient difficulty.
Dont even act like you dont know they created this for top dogs when it's right there in orange from the Dev Diary
You must be one of those "top dogs" I'm guessing that like to look down on "above average, average, and beginning" players huh?
This whole Varient difficulty doesn't make sense at all. Many have read through the notes and assumed that it would be like a Celebrity Challenge quest or something along the lines of last months Symbiote EQ difficulty (except slightly less?) that a few (but not all) players would be able to complete, thus the meaning of a challenge. But I guess what a lot of us were expecting did not turn out to be what we'd hoped for at all. This difficulty caters more to the top 1% of players rather than the top 10% or 15%...
The whole varient difficulty seems to be basically a scheme to continue to satisfy the part of the community that spends way more than the average regular joe, so that Kabam can continue on going. Having a new Map 7 and a soon to be Act 6 wasn't enough, so I guess Varient difficulty had to be the thing that held them over till then huh.
In terms of myself actually finishing the whole thing 100%, I'll get back to ya in 2022. (BTW, Im one of the Above average players)
The variant content isn't for the top 10%, it is for everyone. Some people can do it now. Some people will do it later. But whether I can do it now or not, variant is for me. It is for me to aspire to complete.
Monthly quests are different from permanent content. When the content is only going to be around for a month, each difficulty level is in one sense targeted at a specific subset of the playerbase. But in a broader sense, and in particular for permanent content like the story Acts, the content isn't targeted at different player groups. The content is intended for everyone to progress through at different times in their progression.
People said that about LoL, they said that about Act 5 and uncollected, and they even said that about RoL. They've always been wrong. Realm of Legends used to be something that only the top 1% of 1% of 1% could do. Then it became a top 1% thing. Then a top 10% thing. Now it is farmed for potions. The first people to complete LoL did so with 5/50 champs. The people doing it now are doing so with 5/65 champs that are several times stronger: in effect LoL is now four times easier.
Yes, Variant difficulty is a scheme, but it is not the scheme you think it is. Variant, like RoL and LoL and The Collector, are a scheme to get the impatient to subsidize the game for the patient. The people who must always do the top content, and must do it immediately, will spend whatever it takes to complete it. That is entirely their choice. And the cash they throw at the game keeps the lights on so that when I do the content six months later with a couple of potions and all the champs I ranked up since then, I don't have to spend as much on it.
If Variant difficulty causes a lot of impatient people to spend like crazy to be the first, and that lets me get the exact same rewards as they do but for free and months or even a year later, that's a win for everyone except poor impatient people. I'm fine with that. Rich impatient people are fine with it. Poor patient people are fine with it. Only people who must be first but not willing to pay to be first are not happy with it. I'm fine with that also.
There are OTHER content that is useful to the rest of you.[/quote]
If you read my post before speaking you'd see I already know that as I said I would spend my time in other quests. I just said that I hoped there would be mid level content. I really don't care one way or the other.
