Um, where’s the roleless buff?

    Just did the upscaled Phantom Zone, no sign of it.

    • Unbalanced groups in Alerts/4-Player Operations no longer receive the “Roleless Buff” in Early End-Game Instanced content
    • The “Roleless Buff” is still applied in the latest three episodes 4-Player content and also now in Open Worlds for those three episodes

    Phantom Zone is an alert, not a raid.

    What?! Why would they do that?!
  6. 9001BPM Steadfast Player

    Why?! :(

    Because that's how it used to be I guess? So either it was too hard to add into old stuff (doubt it) or they just want players to stop dps stacking and play how it was designed back then.

    I’m confused. The upscaled phantom zone technically is the new stuff, right?

    I believe (IMO) alerts should have 1 of each role

    In an ideal world, yeah. But EU, especially villain is pretty empty. I have to take what I can get.

    I pointed that out in the Save the Universe dev discussion but got no response. It's weird to have the latest released regular alert without the buffs.

    But.. aren't we forever 'balanced' to this content by new clamp system? Sounds strange.

    ...and with Thanos - its not balanced, it's symmetric, geez.

    Your output is balanced, but the role composition isn't lol.

    I would like them to remove the role-less buff entirely, but that be a bridge too far for most xD

    I think you've got some rose colored glasses on. Some days, trying to find a tank for an alert took slightly less time than the heat death of the universe.

    It sure does! Hence why I want know why it isn’t in the upscaled alert! Technically, it’s endgame, no?

    This is where we see the differences between uspspc players and xbox/switch/eu/villan crowd. We have it easier and we stop thinking about what they have to go thru. I have no answer to why it was removed. But it certainly means every player either needs to start being dual role capable or incredibly good at dps. If I have to switch to heal, and 2 others have to role, then that dps better be outstanding or they're out. Plenty of dps players to choose from and getting a role to replace one of us so we can dps is an option. Cr skippers are really getting thrown into the fire with this dlc

    I’m honestly wondering if the developers are actually trying to get rid of people like me right now. :(

    That's a bug and is fixed internally. In the next hotfix.
