    I will be playing CL8 because like lots of other people I play on two different devices and the challenges reset, so I can farm these small amounts of shards unintentionally as payback for all the damn times I’m halfway through a challenge only to have it reset.

    @S0kun @DevpoolMPQ_BCS @IceIX How the hell is the quest reset bug still there? There’s also reports that it’s reliably executable since the patch rather than somewhat random. People being able to farm Galactus shards seems like a big problem. Especially since the main player base will take months to cover him.

    Dont worry they devs will rollback those accounts like they said they would, like the last time this happened...oh wait.

    Time to eat those cheeseburgers from the broken atm.

    Sure, but there must be tons of players who don’t intentionally abuse this and are affected by this as a genuine game bug. They still will get extra shards. Even without farming. Will they be rolled back?

    I'm not sure what's more surprising -- that they haven't fixed the bug yet or that they continue pushing out quests that are affected by it.

    There's no way they'll let people farm Galactus covers with no punishment at all...right?

    It's hard to get too worked up about somebody getting 25 or 50 extra shards or whatever (for me anyway, maybe somebody else could make an argument).

    That's not what matters though -- somebody out there is absolutely already farming 13 covers, and it'll get defended with the usual "well I just did it by accident, not my fault!"

    Challenge node didn’t really get “hard” till clear 3. I eventually cheesed it with Yellowjacket with a 5* purple stone equipped. I was trying to put some gimmick Deadliest Woman teams together, but Carbage is always a hard one for that because of the second turn. Otherwise this just felt like normal PVE to me also. I’m getting the challenge clear 4 crash too. Well, not a crash, but a soft lock.

    Can you guys include enemy levels and like health pools? I had no problems playing SCL 10 for years now, but those 500K-800K health pools look absolutely terrifying!
    Was that all nodes, just the challenge node? First clear or third?

    Really wish we got some proper info on this before heading into it. My slice is not for a few hrs more, I'm still at work, so any info is much appreciated!

    Ugh. Signed up for level 9 as usual, not realising how much harder it would be. Not impossible, quite, but burning through the health packs like nobody's business.

    My screenshot above was the third clear (700-800k health).
    The first hit was around 300k+ health for the CN. Second was in between

    How nice, EB telling me what does and does not matter, and what we’re allowed to get too worked up about or not. How is this a constructive comment?

    Getting even one cover for Galactus is huge. There are genuine players out there who, because of how they have played for years, get the quests reset daily because of a bug. Daily 75 extra shards of Galactus since launch = a full cover before the quest timers ends in 2ish days.

    They won’t be rolled back and shouldn’t be. Still a big impact on the game if they go for placement.

    Yes, that matters to me. Yes, I am allowed to get worked up over that. We can argue what the impact is in the long term, sure. Maybe it won’t matter. But the fact that the bug is still here is pissing me off and reflects terribly on the Devs

    I wish they left level 9 alone and just make 10 harder. The devs need to know if it ain't broke dont fix it. Let me preface I haven't played scl 9 yet today just hoping it's not too hard

    If you care that much about the 25 shards then push for those players to be sandboxed. I'm ok with it, but I could understand if someone else wasn't (and I said that...)

    I'm not sure why the cheating discussions always get so heated on here.

    8 is equivalent to old 10.

    Meaning 7 is equivalent to old 9.

    These two "new" levels have better rewards.

    I am a bit newer to the game (only a year in) but I tried level 9 for this event since I have a champed Mephisto, BNWSW, and Frankie. On the event description before entering, the message said enemies would get up to level 515. No Biggie, smalls.

    However, I definitely played against some enemies at level 710. Venom was 1 hitting champed 5*s. Descriptions need updated.

    I don’t get worked up about a player having extra quests exactly.

    I do think it’s inexcusable that they haven’t locked this down because everyone should have the same opportunities in game that is based on selling you stuff that will push you past others, if you choose.

    I sit here dumbfounded that they say they were fixing this type of thing but it’s persisting.

    It feels unfair that the devs can’t control this issue after 3 months of Unity being live. It was whatever for a bit but now it feels frustrating to me.

    I'm not sure why the cheating discussions always get so heated on here.

    Things get heated because you willfully misrepresent what others are saying.

    Status: anyone who uses multiple devices in their regular play style will get quests reset. If they complete those Galactus quests daily before the time runs out, they get enough shards for a free Galactus cover. Anyone playing on one device does not.

    Status: the devs knew about this and didn’t fix it.

    Opinion: these players are doing nothing wrong and are not abusing the game.

    Opinion: at this point I’m the game getting a free Galactus cover in the first week of release is a big deal

    Opinion: I am pissed at the devs about not fixing this.

    EB misrepresentation: why do you care about 25 shards?
    Z: I don’t. It’s about a free Galactus cover.

    EB misrepresentation: your point doesn’t matter, people who farm 13 covers is what we should care about.
    Z: I am talking about people just playing their normal game. Don’t devaluate my topic with making your point more important.

    EB misrepresentation: if you care so much, they should get sandboxed, ask for that!
    Z: I never asked for this and stated the players are not at fault. My frustration is entirely towards the Devs.

    And I can go on. You pick specific parts of my posts and misrepresent and deflect. I am not always the best at explaining my point eloquently. But it’s not like I am speaking complete gibberish either.

    —

    For anyone else still reading: I still think it sucks that the dev keep bugs in the game that creates an uneven player base, just because of your devices you use. Didn’t mean it to explode either.

    Seems to me that you are quite literally picking specific parts of my post and misrepresenting what I said.

    What he said was he personally doesn't care much about it. At no point did he say how anyone else should feel and i have no idea how you read that in what he said.

    So I'm told new SCL 8 and 9 (old 10 and 11) now require 4 clears.

    That is unbelievably lame. No thought has gone into this. Just, turn the bad guys up 200 levels and call it a day.

    So disappointing
