Makes no sense at all to explore act 6 unless you're doing it purely for the challenge. I wish there was someway to make old content a bit more relevant which the carinas challenges do a little but not nearly enough
-
Honestly it just takes a lot of time and practice to get good. I'd probably been playing a year before I was even halfway decent. After 4 years I'm a much better player. Breezed through to cav on a second acount with 3 r5/r2s and a couple of r4 5*s. I only used 1 revive on ultron in 6.1. Knowing the ins and outs of all the…

I think it fell somewhere between the two options 😂 Good on kabam for trying something different, good rewards but the objectives were insanely grindy. They should have toned down the number of runs needed or they should think about making the higher level objectives count for the lower ones as well.
-
I don't think this is too bad. The increase in l2 revives sets off the loss to l1 revives decently. I was reckoning being able to have 70-80 revives stashed was fair. Bit concerned about the speed you can get them though. 1 a day from apothecary is too slow. Should be at least 3 but then you'd be raising the amount you can…
-
Exactly 10 r4 and I've got one left to do. I really enjoyed it for the most part. Only the spiders challenge felt really painful. Solo juggs run was surprisingly not too bad. Only peni felt like I was just throwing revives at it
-
I really liked the idea it was just too grindy. I'll barely get any of the sidequest cav crystals this month. I normally do all the difficulties/objectives but that would have taken 10-12+ hours a week which is a huge amount of time compared to the normal 1-2 hours. The solo objectives were set up in such a way that you'd…

Sandbagging doesn't work anymore. It doesn't lower their rating, it only makes their team worse. Sandbagging is not a problem
-
Yeah I don't see the abyss being worth it now unless you're doing it for the challenge. There are much easier ways to get equivalent rewards now. I think that is kind of the issue with the revive changes. I do see kabams side of things, revives are probably too easy to get right now, there should be more of a unit…
-
I'm gonna add as well that kabam need to figure out a better balance than what has been proposed so far. Things like carinas challenges might as well be marked as for big spenders only. By the time any regular player had farmed enough revives the rewards would be so out of date it wouldn't be worth doing. Also turning off…
-
I can kind of see kabams point but then they are creating content that even very very skilled players will need to use a lot of revives to clear. I'm not sure many peoples spending will go up because of this. It would just mean spending to clear content instead of spending on fun stuff which will turn people off the game…
-
This all sounds great. Good response kabam. It's difficult to find a solution to some of this that will keep everyone happy but at least you clearly understand what the problems are. And of course it will take a few months to bring in these changes. It's not a simple thing to rework some of the major systems like this.…
-
I really like the idea of mixing up the side quests with different game modes. Keeps it a bit more interesting. Bit unsure if it's going to be much or any better for my little account than normal excursions though. At least it sounds like you can grind out more or less all the rewards for your level. That's if I'm reading…
-
You've just got to filter out the serious replies from the nonsense. A complete free for all would be ridiculous as you've said. You'd have 4m paragons matching with 100k uc accounts. Beyond demoralising for those little accounts. Clearly that isn't sensible or fair. Neither is 800k cav accounts easlily outperforming 3m…
-
I mean they'd mostly likely be told how best to progress their account so they could move up the ranks. Not told to git gud. That's if progressing your account didn't make things more difficult as it does right now. A very silly situation.
-
We are all thankful for your intelligent and insightful input on this complex situation. I think you've solved it.
-
All sensible and thoughtful suggestions. At minimum there definitely needs to be some level of elo/bg rating and/or losing needs to be way less punishing than currently. The current setup just doesn't work at all for a very large number of players and it'll kill what was a fun and rewarding mode.
-
And I've got to add that kabam mostly focusing on the matchmaking and not really mentioning the progression system is a bit worrying. The most sensible voices in these various threads have been pointing out that it's primarily the progression system that's the problem here. It's great that cheaters are eventually getting…
-
A 50% loss rate is fine just not with the current progression system. As has been pointed out that makes progression almost impossible for a huge swathe of accounts. It's not that people aren't used to losing. They're not used to playing being a complete waste of time. It's inevitably going to lead to the death spiral…
-
Yeah I just got one and the game has never ran like this before. I was on an s21+ before and I had so many hitches and general jankiness. It all just seems really smooth and quick now. Even crystals open a lot quicker. I don't work for Samsung honestly 😂
-
I tend to get easier matches when it has to search for a while so that does strongly suggest it's going outside of what's considered your band. I can't find the thread but someone with a normal 700k account came up against someone with a 900k account but he had an r5 6* and plenty of r3/r4 champs. That suggests total hero…
-
Save your units for mastery cores. Go look up a good mastery setup so you know which ones to get as you level up
-
I'd love that. Find out how good you really are. Sadly for the reasons given above there is no way kabam would go for it
-
I'd love to know how things are for lower level players in lower brackets. I'm beginning to think bg is probably almost unplayable for half the player base. If you're in the lower half of your bracket you can't string together wins and progress anywhere. They probably don't complain because they just think they need to…
-
The problem is that bg is essentially unplayable for a lot of paragons right now. The game mode isn't for them. They should go do something easier like the eop carinas challenges
-
I would just quit. I did. It's a waste of time. I wouldn't rank up anyone for bg. Focus on carinas and hope they do something to fix matchmaking/progression while you're working on that. Apologies for the obvious saltiness on my part 😅
-
I'm not gonna rest until every post on the front page is about matchmaking until kabam make a proper response 😂 The examples people are giving of their bigass accounts getting stuck at low levels show what a ludicrous setup this is.
-
What's your total hero rating? I think it might be based more off that than prestige although it might take more into account than just that
-
I'm not sure why it's the case but certainly people with big accounts report having a much easier time going through the vt on their secondary smaller accounts. Hard to say why that is. Could be that they're lot more skilled relative to the smaller bracket compared to the higher bracket. Could be because there's more…

I couldn't get out of silver 2 last season. My top 2 rows are all 6* r4's. Be thankful for your 5* r5's. They're likely the reason you got as high as plat 2. Ranking champs doesn't help you get further in VT. It gets you tougher matches with bigger accounts and stops you getting anywhere. Trust me it really sucks
-
Yeah if I'd used one at silver 2 I could have climbed higher last season. I wasn't expecting to keep losing like that though. I'd won 12 in a row before I got to silver 2. And the reason the thread is still going is because kabam haven't said anything beyond a vague message about matchmaking might change in the future.…
