So this is a special quest that will run alongside a new monthly quest correct? @Kabam Miike ? I’ve seen some pictures that shows a new difficulty coming up “uncollected” is that true!!?!?
You got it! This is not the regular Monthly quest, but something to run alongside. As for the "uncollected difficulty"... Well, we'll have more information on Monday
So far, what I'm seeing is really good. The rewards seem good relative to the difficulty and effort. The timer gate and zero energy costs make it much more convenient to run than the Valor missions which took anywhere from 28 energy (top two difficulties) to 40 energy (all difficulties). I like that it is a concentrated map with no filler: just six fights and you're done. I think the randomizer mechanic is interesting. I really like that the reroll tokens are refunded at cost, so there's zero risk in just buying a bunch and either using them or not using them - since the buffs are random there's no way to know if or how many you'll need.
One thought I had that I think is cool about this event, if I understand how the buff mechanics work. If we see a totally whacked buff set, we can use the randomizer to swap it up, or we could actually try to see if we can take it down. If we fail miserably, we can still randomize the buffs when we reenter with another champion.
Is that correct Kabam? If so, that would make it an interesting meta game to see what the *worst* possible buffs you can draw are, that you can actually still beat.
There are over 150 potential Buffs you can encounter, and several million possible combinations. While not every Buff in the game is included in this list of potential Buffs, it does include most of them.
several millions?
formula to count amount of possible combinations is n!/((n−k)!⋅k!), where n is amount of buffs, k is amount of objects. so it's 14 297 000 725. little bit more than several millions :-)
Reminds me - I had an idea I called MODOKs Lab once. Was a cross between the NYCC Beat the Boss challenge and Tavern Brawls from Hearthstone. Still think it would be a cool little way to add some unique weekly competition to MCOC!

We remembered that video you posted pretty soon after we had this mode locked down, and were just silent when we watched the video again. You were very close to what we ended up coming up with!

Thats really cool that you guys watched it.
I tried to go back and watch it again just now but admittedly I couldnt make it past the initial rambling haha
Well done to everyone involved in making the announcement post, all the pictures and animations make it very clear how the quest will work and what we can expect. Also gives you guys a chance to tease the upcoming champs which people from the community may or may not already know about but is very awesome to see regardless
Comments
could it be the year of science?
Indeed
So 10am-6PM / 6PM-2AM / 2AM-10AM
or I run it at 2PM and I cant run it again until 10PM?
FYI: T2A should be .35. You have one extra zero.
Thanks for the info!
Ment to tag u but above this comment mod said it’s not the regular event quest
I believe he's referring to this
sorry to ask but where you'd find that in what type of quest?

So the rewards can be farmed every 8hrs correct

No problem, look under alliance event, event quest completion, and select how to get points. Then scroll all the way down.

Where did you see this?! Hope its true!!
It's on a set schedule, so if it starts at 10AM and you run it at 5:30 PM, you can run it again at 6PM
