Not sure why people keep attacking one another, If you ignore the trolls, they will move on. Just block or hide and move on. They show up in every thread when people ignore their silly and trolling comments in other threads. We have a few hours and we can get in and try it and move past it. The damage has been done, people are leaving after seasons, big names are stepping back and none of that will change Kabams views. The community is toxic, with both kabam and each other and it just sucks the life out of you, the forum and the game.
Putting all the personal attacks and posturing aside, there’s actually a decent point buried in the last page or two:What actually is the point of an Elder’s Bane title?Perhaps I’ve forgotten what we got for it, but I remember it necessitated a multiple of the work and effort required for achieving the title of Uncollected. Other than signifying that we explored all of Act 5 (which means multiple cheapshot Collector passes, not just one) and was among several good rewards, it was just another empty title to go on the shelf, unless my recollection fails me. Dr. Zola Yes Sir, you are correct. The titel did not give us any advantage like Uncollected did, it was basically just a title. That gets me to my point: let’s assume that Kabam wants people to play their game more, not less. More play means more time in-game means more potential for revenue. More revenue means more content, champs, longevity, etc. None of us wants the game to close up shop tomorrow. Elder’s Bane should be a stepping stone that moves players closer to “endgame of endgames” or whatever Act 6 is supposed to be. But it doesn’t—it comes with an infusion of cats and rankup materials that are only useful if you have champs worth a rankup. At some level, the title is akin to a Fortnite skin you can’t even put on your champ. It’s vapor, and when I step back, I think that’s where a lot of this has gone awry. Periodic rewards attuned to Elder’s Bane recipients and designed to prep rosters for the rigors of Act 6 should have been part of the process. Understandably, the team likely makes new content decisions on more of an ad hoc basis than they’d like us to know. Act 5 titles probably weren’t envisioned with Variant and the Maze and Act 6 in mind. But...ret-cons are a core part of comics. If the gate is set in stone, it’s certainly not too late to ret-con a title to assuage some of the soreness in the community. Dr. Zola

Days without another response from kabam I guess they are just going to wait and see what happens with act 6
Days without another response from kabam I guess they are just going to wait and see what happens with act 6 They kinda did respond awhile back. It was just nothing anyone wanted to hear. I doubt they would just state the same thing again.
Days without another response from kabam I guess they are just going to wait and see what happens with act 6 They kinda did respond awhile back. It was just nothing anyone wanted to hear. I doubt they would just state the same thing again. Last response I saw was they were removing negative posts. Did I miss a response?

Never could see why there were perks associated with Uncollected, but nothing for Elders Bane even though it was 100x harder to achieve than Uncollected. They really should add an in between point of Uncollected and Cavalier perks. They added lower tier perks, so we know they can add another one.
I think the issue is that players take this too seriously. Kabam created a GAME. It was not created to be a lifestyle, while some choose to make it one, that was not the point. As people continue to figure out ways to beat the content Kabam needs to figure out how to make it more challenging. Act 6 was billed as a "Rebirth" and a "New Contest" and it would appear it is one that does not include anything less than 5* star champions.Everyone is worked up because they do not have their 5-8 favorite questing champions in 5* and 6* versions. Now those players will be forced to learn new champs or earn advanced versions of them. Guess we know why the Blade crystal was brought back around for everyone.Personally I think it is great business for Kabam and a great opportunity for players. Kabam increases revenue with new and challenging content and players get to spread their wings and learn how to use new champs that You Tubers tell t hem they shouldn't use or upgrade.
I feel that this could have gone more smoothly had it been a give and take, and not just taking away.With the champion requirements, our rosters have essentially been nerfed. Without my 4* Ghost Rider, I don’t have the trinity anymore. Without my 4* Black Bolt and with him not being available as a 5*, good luck reacquiring that Inhumans synergy. The Unholy Trinity? I only have them as 4* champs, and while they’re perfectly capable of taking on content, they’ll be locked out of this.
I recommend everyone go check out lagacy’s channel for some of this. Lots of hard fights indeed and it a shame we can’t use our 4* champions(looks possible with skill).

You can't use your favorite synergies or even certain champs that counter what you are forced to face. Variant has specific gates to make it more challenging. Act 6 is also going to have specific gates to make it more challenging. The fun is figuring out new strategies to get through with what you have or doing what you can in the game to try to get what you need. Sure there is lots of disappointment in bad RNG but that is what makes the good RNG all the more satisfying.
Will auto evade champs be effected by "No Retreat"? Or is it only dexterity and manual dash backs. Just curious for tomorrow.
Lagacy's preview of Act 6 Ch1 Quest 1 is up now! Take a look at his preview video for tips on how to avoid damage from No Retreat, and more!
Hey All,I wanted to drop one more note in here on something unrelated to the Champion Restrictions. We've just granted a very small group of Content Creators early access to Act 6 Chapter 1 Quest 1. The purpose of this is so that they can make educational videos for you all on what you can expect in that first Quest before it is even live.These Creators will be playing on their own account, with their own resources and team. They have not had any resources granted to them, and they will not be eligible for the Legends rewards from Chapter 1.We'll be sharing out their content with you all as they release it closer to the release of Act 6 Ch1. Well... were are the videos that shall help us prepare for Act 6? Only 3 days to go, I have not found a single video Once again: Less than 30 hours until the release of Act 6. Where are the educational videos? Was this a lie to our face?

Will auto evade champs be effected by "No Retreat"? Or is it only dexterity and manual dash backs. Just curious for tomorrow. If you take a look at Lagacy's video right here, you'll see him take that node on! He starts off with a Spider-Man (Stark Enhanced) that repeatedly evades Elektra's attacks on his own, not causing No Retreat to activate.
