The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!
After taking a trial run on the maze I can see it being beat for the cost of 2 starks. Made it past aegon before my team crashed. Not seeing the value in doing this event for the rewards though. The health pools and nodes make these very annoying and boring fights that leave no room for error but also no room for fun. When the designer needs to put 900% health and up to 12 nodes on the opponent to make them a challenge it's just a cop out. 3-4 nodes and 600% health boost would be fun but this is to much for the weak rewards. Not even going to bother wasting resources I'll wait for act 6
You know that reminds me of the recent dev diary we all read. Hmm, how did that go again?
“Difficulty and fun can go hand in hand, but striking the right balance is important and not always an easy task. An opponent with +1000% Attack is a lot scarier and harder than one with +50% Attack, but isn’t more interesting. It’s not fun to walk into a fight and immediately lose your entire roster to a challenge with no counters.”
I guess jacking up health by 900% is different than +1000% attack. This maze would’ve been a lot more interesting if they just stuck to the unique nodes and not jacked up their health 900%.
Yeah. Except they actually jacked it up by 1200%. After the global node. Gave them an unreasonable health pool on top of the 300% attack... on top of the unique nodes that already make it a tough challenge. I totally agree a modest health/attack boost along with the unique nodes would have been fun and challenging. What they gave us is just insulting.
Don't know why people are complaining. You wanted harder content, now you got it.
Don’t be that guy. Do you really think people wanted this? These rewards are no way close to commensurate with the fights. This is exactly what people didn’t want Kabam to keep doing.
I can't remember a time when any piece of content was as universally reviled as this event. I just don't comprehend how we go from the Champions Challenge, which had good rewards commensurate with the difficulty, to this where the balance is so badly out of whack. And the fact that we're still not seeing 6* materials in events like this is the ultimate slap in the face.
You had me until the slap in the face part lol. But I agree.
Will not be doing this event. How in the world @Kabam Miike@Kabam Lyra@Kabam Zibiit@Kabam Vydious@Kabam Wolf do you guys come up with your reward structure?!?! If the rewards were even close to good you would have everyone doing this, I’ll stick with AQ and Uncollected. This event is a major fail, and you better listen to the community.
In all my time playing this game, I have never once complained about difficulty. I am 100% LOL, and did every "hard" event quest since running through Coulson's quest with r3 4* DS back in the day (as a FtP player). I am in top 5 AQ (speaks to roster) and top 5 masters AW Seasons (speaks to skill) alliance.
After completing one path of this nonsense, its clear that this is the first quest I will be skipping. Of course, I get the point that this is entirely optional content and everyone has a choice here. This post is simply to highlight the gross mismatch of difficulty to rewards. Surely, your data will show that as well. Many end game players will take a pass due to weak rewards and vast majority of lower tier players lack the roster depth to even attempt it.
By contrast, Variant was awesome.. Enjoyable, clever, challenging but fair with proper rewards in the end.
When you need a full 5 man team of rank 4/5 5* champs plus actually have the right counter for each fight just to earn 7500 5* and 1 t2a just simply doesn't add up.
Drop attack and health by 50% or increase rewards by 200-300% is the only way this makes sense.

I have

4/55 venom
4/55 guillotine
4/55 Rogue
4/55 Iceman
And many others and I wont do this challenge. First time in the history of my account. I refuse and wont call myself end game player anymore. I have all the tittles from special quest up to date. i have LOL and Act 5 100 percent and have never miss an uncollected event ever.
Now I will exit this thread.
My last positive take is that the nodes are ok but the 900 percent health was a puch in the $&$&@$$.
This challenge should have enemies not more than 5000 attack and health no more tha. 250,000.
The rewards for this event are insulting.... I'm not even going to attempt 1 fight to waste the little energy it'll take to get to it.... I'd rather waste my time completing Normal and Easy Darkhawk challenges on Auto Fight for the Marvel Insider points
Bevor the event everyone thought it would not be that crazy because the rewards are not crazy good.
I did some fights against Heimdall and KM and this content is not worth the rewards, time and ressources!
Biohazard archangel seems to be bugged, shows he's immune to concussion and exhaustion debuffs are expiring rapidly, feels like im fighting rogue. was using LC. @Kabam Miike
Look what you did to us Kabam Christmas is suppose to be fun, happy, merry. But you managed to make every single one of us upset with some crappy rewards
The difficulty for this event is just fine. Takes a strong roster and good counter heros against the newer high end champs. That being said after doing 1 run thru it I have 0 thoughts of exploring it. Got to champion with 1 team revive but he is a little ridiculous. The rewards are a complete insult compared to the difficulty of the event. Im all for having hard content to complete but it has to be worth completing. Sorta just feels like this entire month has been really dumb content designed to eat thru peoples wallets. Even the chilled event having ambushes that reward nothing but 174 gold? Really? Whata the point. Not that they r hard but truly why waste anyones time. Truly keep bringing out hard content but makethe rewards worth while for those who have the skill or the wallets to beat it.
Top end players can do this easily. If I had the right 5* champs at R5 I could get it done. But I don't so I'm not gonna mess with it. Too costly with my roster so I'll pass.
The issue isn't the difficulty, the issue is the rewards. This is Variant level difficulty for **** rewards. I can do this quest and while it would cost me some items I don't feel the items are worth putting here. I'd rather finish exploring Variant and if this quest is still around when I finish that, awesome, and if not I won't be missing much.
And you can totally do that. If you don't think the rewards are worth it, remember that this is totally optional, and that you can spend your time and energy somewhere that you think it is a better investment!
There's a lot to do right now! I know I just brought Chilled Challenges up, but I'm really enjoying them! I'm even trying to make them a little more difficult by not using my Best Team. That backfired once, but I'm gonna try it again later!
I've got everything at 100% including variant but I honestly I have very little interest is doing this. The rewards are just simple underwhelming for the effort needed to complete. I an other I know who have every bit of content done at 100% would be completely fine with the challenge of the content if the rewards actually reflected it.
Wow I don't get why Mike has to sound like this as well. Oh I know if you don't like it spend your energy elsewhere??? Does anyone from the team realise their mistake and is willing to admit it? Anyone?

If people encourage these type of events.. it will become a norm.
There was a thread the other day about increasing difficulty in the contest,, here's the proof.
We should not do this event and let their effort go to waste. There's no balance in this event.
high-end players do need something to do.. the rewards are the only problem
People aren’t upset that they can’t do it or are being left out lol.
Sent me this for Christmas and I will do this challenge.

Rewards not worth it in my opinion.

The rewards are really low though. I mean I will end up using more revives on this than Variant and variant has incredible rewards.
it's crazy...

Don’t start this again... There’s at least one every month in addition to the permanent events and story quests.
