Kabam why did you make this solo event?

in General Discussion


I play map 8 and tier 1 aw. I can't just bring random champs to aq or aw. Bringing the wrong counter to an aw fight may result in deaths. Deaths may result in losing the war and hurting my teammates and my alliance as a whole. Aq is different since dying doesn't mean losing points. But it means losing items. In map 8 each path requires certain counters and bringing random champs from a random pool may result in iteming out. One could think: whatever, you want the rewards just go ahead and throw your items at it until you score enough points. Well here's the thing: aq items are a finite resource and they're pricey as well. This kind of design doesn't really take into account the players who are tackling harder content. I have 0 issues doing the other solo event where you can use the champs in arena or eq. But aq and aw that's a different thing.

    There's plenty of champions you can use for the objectives granted I'm on map 7, but Ultron and warlock have been doing good for me, very path specific though IG

    Yeah that's kinda the point... There is a delirium path in map 8 where you wanna bring a robot so he won't suffer from reverse controls. Warlock can take that lane just fine. It's just that's not my lane. I mean you need certain champs for certain nodes and certain match ups. I can't just force whatever into my team to fit the criteria and then item out. Aq is a chore as is and frankly I'd much rather use the best option I have available in my roster and make it as easy and as fast as possible.

    Since it's a solo event, you can create your own alliance and face roll map 1/2. Incidentally, plenty of 2015 champs in there for the special objective.
    Oh I'm not talking about me, I just mean that there is a lot of guys out there that don't have an ally but maybe they thought about making a one man band just for that purpose ... that didn't enter my head tbh

    oh well.
    in any game that has alliance (or clan or similar) modes, by not participating you will miss out on certain things.
    thats just the way it goes.
    Yes and no, I get what you're saying and I agree that the ally/clan events should give certain things to those in that ally but this is a solo event which one can only score points in if they are in an ally that does war or quest, the solo event itself has no team work involved whatsoever so its not exactly a team effort kind of thing

    One would argue the rewards are hardly aimed at people who play map 8 and t1 AW.

    I disagree. 5000 6s shards, 5000 t3a, 7000 t6b. Those are resources everybody needs. With that mindset, shouldn't I always just skip monthly eq and sidequest? I think that is the wrong approach for the matter. I think sidequests as well as eq should be accessible for all the players, except for the requirements of the title tied to the progression level, which is also linked to the difficulty of said quests. I just wanted to point out how it doesn't make any sense to have side quest objectives tied in to aw and aq, but it seems on this forum there must always be somebody criticizing everything that is said, regardless.
    I personally find that particular objective a bit questionable myself, but if you're going to complain about people disagreeing with your posts, then this forum is not for you. The forum is not a suggestion box nor is it a support group. The forum's explicitly stated purpose is to facilitate player discussion. Discussion goes both ways.

    the idea of this would be OK I guess if you only had to do like 10 fights...

    but this is now happening over the War season... and a "team player" would not choose to do this event over optimal war attack... and probably half doing AQ map 7 or 8 would suffer way more than the gains to change their teams for this. Maybe if "AQ revives cost 1 glory" similar to war... I'd squeeze things in.

    What really is lame is like I might get 5-10 done by screwing up, and using my synergy champ Heimdal to polish off a fight. But even if I do that once every AQ... that's only 20 fights... 40% of what's needed, and none of the "good rewards".

    Please do something like add incursions with a partner fights using the synergy also counting... doing 50 fights solo and 50 fights with a teammate would have made a lot more sense / be much more in the spirit of the objective titles.

    They oddly have the easiest time completing the event, because anyone can form an alliance and put themselves in it, and then farm the points in Map 1 with their eyes closed. As strange as it sounds, players in normal alliances have less control over which maps they run and which champs they bring than someone who doesn't actually want to be in an alliance with other players.

    It is the players in active alliances with restrictions on what they play and who they bring in AQ and/or AW that actually have to navigate the requirements of the event, which in my mind seems weirdly counterproductive.
    Yeah somebody else pointed that out to me and I admit that it never entered my head haha
