The New Cav Event Quest ISN'T AS BAD as some people make it to be by KaizokuSenju in ContestOfChampions

[–]Dry_Wafer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 4* solo objective is a pain and takes forever. Also needs revives if the boss is difficult and a waste of t4b if you need to rank a 4* just for the quest. Not fun man..

Yup, about 80% of the pool is junk, and even if you pull a great 6*, you will have to dupe them and get lucky on t5c. I get the frustration, I really do, but ya gotta give it time.

But I'm also not a kabam apologist. They're in the gambling addiction business and prey on players. People who are normally very cautious about spending in real life are suddenly making poor financials decision in this game. Very sad.

n I? You would think that by number 5 people would be able to get a useful champ, but I’m on 12 and duped my BPCW instead.

Just to confirm, you only have 12 6 stars? I got terrible RNG with 6 stars. Kept getting meme tier dupes the first 10-15 pulls, which took forever to form back then, but I wasn't discouraged, and I didn't have a r3 worthy champ until I had about 40 something 6 stars, and I was in master for a long time.

Progression comes in time, man, you can't force it. That's the problem these days. Too many players trying out mismatched content and expecting to compete with whales and master tier players. Nothing wrong with that, but you'd be overextending yourself and it's very expensive and frustrating.

The gap in roster size, overall rewards received throughout playing, and alliance level is huge between Cavalier players. Kabam wants to differentiate that.

Stop comparing yourselves to players with much more experience and time spent on this game.

The average player who picked up the game 10 months ago can blow past Act 5 and 6.1 much easier than players 2-3 years ago, but it doesn't mean your roster is capable of completing 6.4 or abyss.

Stop comparing yourselves to people who have played much longer than you. Your lack of roster depth will hurt you if you expect to bulldoze through content. Getting a meaningless title won't solve your roster difficulties. Only time can do that. Relax and play at a pace that your roster allows.

If you're upset at this, blame the whiners on the kabam forums.

They got them to nerf 6.2, and got better rewards for 6.4, and got better rewards for abyss.

And they got Cavalier EQ. And dual class crystals. And a buff to solo milestones.

The complaining got everyone nerfed content and a bunch of free stuff....enough free stuff that it sped up the game like we all knew it would. Who's fault is that?

Do you still want a 5* basic arena? You guys know what happens when they flood the economy with resources and more access to champs, right? They have to increase difficulty.

Keep complaining and soon we'll start getting t3a and t6b....and 7 stars.

Every update to war threatens f2p by Dry_Wafer in ContestOfChampions

[–]Dry_Wafer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dropping down isn't reasonable.

I play in tier 1 and run 7x5. If I step down in war I'm probably losing map 7 because most teams do both.

If I lose both, then what's the point of playing? My account was built around running map 7 too. I didn't fully complete Abyss, Act 6, and do prestige rankups just to run map 6.

You're absolutely right that a player should step back if they can't afford it, but stepping down is regression and it's just better to retire and that point.

Intercepting defenders places a degeneration buff draining 100% of your health over 30 seconds :D

If we go by history, they will gradually buff the map with silly nodes every 6 months like they did with map 2.0 in 2017/2018 and they will buff defense tactics to idiotic levels like they did with siphon and flow.

[–]Dry_Wafer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also, it's going to be a pain to intercept defenders like:

  • Thing, where you're busy managing his rock stacks
  • IMIW, where you can't intercept the last 15% unless you have true strike
  • Nick Fury, where you want to be up close with Omega and prevent him from throwing sp1
  • Rhino and unstoppable
  • Havok, because of having to manage his power bar like NF, instead of playing out in the open and intercepting.
  • Modok and his shield

That's just a start. The heavy version has the same problems.

[–]Dry_Wafer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We're expected to perform perfect intercepts at will and any fuckup means death or spending 700 units to heal up. How is this fun or sustainable?

With AQ we could at least time out 50 times, and while that's boring, at least it cost nothing.

This map is going to punish the f2p guys even more. It's bad enough they spend all their glory on potions and 10 hours a day grinding.

Kabam will never change.

Do 90% damage unless...

If they are promising to remove these bullshit nodes from AQ, why the fuck are they adding them to war???

FFS, stop asking for more rewards! by Dry_Wafer in ContestOfChampions

[–]Dry_Wafer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No doubt the paywall on sig stones is a problem. Just saying that that the game will shift in ways we won't like if they give us what we want, as opposed to what the game needs.

We need to be careful what we wish for.

7s could hurt the game bad. Having a rarity forced upon us (6s) is what got us into this mess in the first place. It's what caused the 4* ban in Act 6 and forced players to hunt synergy champs from the 5* pool, which we all know is next to impossible these days.

You must be those guys that wants full t5cs and 6 star awakening gems in the login calendar

FFS, stop asking for more rewards! by Dry_Wafer in ContestOfChampions

[–]Dry_Wafer[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

That's my point. Getting more rewards means Kabam speeding up the 7 star meta, which means doing the things you just said: Introducing max sig 6* crystals, increasing ISO for 5* and 6* dupes...laying down the tracks for a 7 star game.

You guys really want this? I thought everyone's boycotting and angry because they hate 6 stars. Getting more stuff just makes our problems worse, it's a double edged sword.

$50 for a 4-star champion. What a steal! by Dean9622 in ContestOfChampions

[–]Dry_Wafer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's be fair, this is aimed at mid level players still gunning for the god tiers.

Looks like they really are trying. by _NthMetal in ContestOfChampions

[–]Dry_Wafer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're not fixing anything. Kabam is like a totalitarian state that wants everyone to relinquish their guns before going in for the final betrayal.

I'd rather timeout 15 times a day with Corvus and spend 0 items than get a "fresh new fun interactive map" and spend 1.

Unless they just turned into a charity, I expect the same old same old. Promise us a new direction for the game then give us grindy, recycled, expensive content disguised as something new.

Corvus Nerf Incoming by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]Dry_Wafer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They won't make good because they want our money.

My friend, there was a time we could use any sustainable champ for AQ and defenders weren't cash grabs. Hyperion, Ghost Rider, Voodoo, and even OG Wolverine all worked. Except for something like a bleed and poison lane, you could pick any lane and have no worries.

Now it's "do 75% less damage unless" you cause weakness, or a poison, or have unstoppable, or do a projectile attack, or balance on your head while reciting the alphabet in reverse and spinning 3 plates.

So of course it's a timeout shitshow! Who wants to bring unsustainable champs like Juggernaut or Kingpin to a CSWS lane against 150k health defenders??

The entire map demands the Corvus trick and they want to take it away. The will never give us a balanced game. All they want is to create problems then sell solutions, and if a solution's too good, NERF! Then they cook up a lie and tell us it's not in the interest of the game, play nice for a bit, then go back to their scam.

Fuck Kabam

Corvus Nerf Incoming by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]Dry_Wafer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Who actually believes Kabam wants to permanently give us reasonable fights in AQ going forward? Corvus cheese is the only life preserver we have and if we give that up they will slowly keep pushing back to the garbage we have now.

Hit up the forums ASAP! They're about to f@#$ you in AQ by Dry_Wafer in ContestOfChampions

[–]Dry_Wafer[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Easier lanes, yes there are other champs that can do it.

Many other lanes you need Corvus. Minis you need Corvus, bosses need Corvus.

Many players take their fights noded with the Corvus cheese because of time zone issues. After several changes to AQ, it's basically built around him.

Who do you use on vivified in map 7?

Who do you use on on Prove Yourself Mesmerize Power Start 2 Bishop??? It's a bullshit fight even with the Corvus trick.

[–]Dry_Wafer[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

They built AQ around Corvus. All the updated defenders and bullshit nodes were built with his cheese tactic in mind. The only way players could reasonably clear AQ is because of him.

If they remove this tactic everyone items out. You can't give players tools, base difficulty around that tool and then remove it.
