Alliance Quest Season 6 - Discussion Thread

Hey Summoners,

Over the last year, Alliance Quests have changed a lot. We’ve had Sentinels added, a new Season, new Minibosses, and even a new Map among other big changes, like the addition of Tier 5 Basic Catalyst Fragments.

As we move closer to our next evolution, we wanted to give you an early look at Alliance Quests: Season 6. We’re currently working on this new update to Alliance Quests, and we are hoping to launch Season 6 alongside our 23.1 release next month.

We are still working on the exact date and the contents of this update, and we will have a formal announcement with more information closer to the launch, but wanted to bring you some of the information we do know as early as possible so you can prepare yourselves for the dawn of Season 6: Mad Titan’s Wrath.

Read all about it here: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/139441/early-look-alliance-quest-season-6

Remember, All of this information is subject to change.If you have feedback, please share it with us!

I’m playing map7 AQ. And in final section, I taking inner paths (path10) agains Ultron, and Old Man Logan. But the nodes are bugged. If I regen my champ when spectre is Not active, then It should degen the deffender. But no degen.
I can provide a video also.

Same problem here. Luckily I got CG and made it through using time-out strategy.

I can help you understand the impact this week of the "gimme" node already. It personally cost me $30 in potions and revives to get through. You're welcome.

It doesn’t cost me money but I had to use items and boosts to make it through thanks to Kabam not being able to make anything work as intended. I would think compensation for items used due to broken nodes is in order. I know I will be sending in a ticket for this.

So you guys buried your head in the sand for a whole week during another round of map 7. Will any of these issues actually be addressed? This game has taken a sharp turn in the wrong direction with AQ and AW. Retirements are at an all time high.

Yup. We get to start another week of map 7 after going over a week with no response from the team about issues.

Two series of bugged nodes, preemptively anticipating a third now. I am okay if bugs slip by, but the burden of cost should not be pushed back to us. Giving us the pots we had to spend for bugged nodes would go a long way in gaining our trust back. I am completely demoralized with the lack of response we have been receiving lately.

At this point I suspect they are waiting for the third week of map 7 see if there are any bugs in that and then will start looking at the effects it took on alliances. I honestly don’t except them to do anything close to what’s right. I feel alliance haven’t been placing where they typically should due to map 7 bugs. Will kabam right this wrong I don’t think they will and Ik myself and lots of others will keep our wallets closed on July 4th because of this.

Well now that’s hilarious. Skipped scarlet with and went straight back to Hyperion

So did we get another series of Map 7 with TunnelVision still broken?

Of course we did!

Another week, another broken AQ. Sad that it's a node that was called out as broken two weeks ago. Let's see what the rest of the week has in store. Isn't it exciting?:)

On the positive side, just think...once they are done measuring the impact, compensation should be incredible.

Of course they did, it's all 'random', you know they don't choose the minibosses, same as it just so happens that Science champions has global disadvantage again, after all Luke Cage is a good counter.

Working as intended.

Can we get some form of update on a compensation package yet?

No you may not.

The only choice we have at this point is to stop playing the higher maps in AQ. If everyone stops playing Map 6 and Map 7, then no one will be spending resources in AQ and they will address these multiple issues.

I don't have any issues with map 6. I don't play map 7. No interest in grinding for the donations.

I don’t grind for my map 7 donations. Haven’t done arenas in 3 weeks. But I do pay double battlechips to have someone cover my gold.

Let’s thank Kabam for the fix on the Map 5 Hyperion mini boss. Oh wait...😑

I often trade gold as I have plenty of gold. That's great that you don't have to grind atm. Lots of people have been burned out grinding for map 7 donations or paying mercs to drop donations. You obviously saved a lot of battlechips. I'd rather sell mine for units. Not grinding for map 7 isn't really sustainable...

I don’t have any battlechips. 200 units a week to cover double battlechips. We don’t run 7x5 in all battlegroups though. If we did I could see it being a lot harder on individuals, especially loyalty. I wasn’t giving you a hard time, just stating top 45 in aq and I’m not grinding (or buying units) to cover my donations atm. And I’m not paying anyone to drop donations in on my behalf. Never have and never will.

Hyperion is still a bit to much with Empathatic Link. Compared to other Map 5 minis he is crazy random in baiting his specials and with EL almost all real counters to him are nullified. One fight he throws specials with no problems the next he goes straight tp s3.

Yesterday, I had a fight with him and timed out with a 4* Luke Cage. Today, I hit him
12 times and he went to s3 twice.. once to break my immunity and once to kill me. I spent the whole fight trying to get him to throw an s1 and he never did.

The randomness of him throwing his specials is the real issue here.

Sharperthanyou

Hyperion is still ridiculous. Not very consistent at throwing out special attacks. I could deal with spite if they did not have emphatic lock too.

Supposedly it is easier this time around but I am not seeing it. This is really sucking the fun out of the game.

I like the challenge and attempt to change up play styles but this too much.

Saw in another thread elsewhere that they are looking into Tunnel Vision. For some reason they don't respond to this thread regarding the AQ bugs. At least its good its being looked at.

Worknprogress

Tunnel vision isn't too bad. Just have someone with a duped nick fury run it. He completely shuts it down after 1 sp1 when in his 2nd phase

Yea nick fury is a hard counter, but the point is that it is not working as intended or as described. Once that is fixed, it should be alot more manageable to play around using skill rather than roster.

Ultra8529

Is it just me or did Kabam quietly rename the Map 6 crystals from "Season 5 Map 6 Crystals" to simply "Map 6 Crystals" so as to quell the complaints that map 6 crystals were not updated this season?
