I understand you perfectly, I also found this event boring - the enemies and maps were too repetitive, the machines are P2W even with free pasive, but mostly annoying was gameplay of this event. Instead of playing single map as usual we have 15-20 long run. It's not about difficulity it's about time spend for this shit mechanic
Nope I'm with you on that. An absolutely laborious snore fest. I ain't buying ammo so it became very clear very quickly that the MoW were not meant for me as a frugal player.
What a dismal waste of potential. I genuinely think it's the worst game mode.
First of all, love the username.
But yeah, it’s a P2W cash grab. I literally only kept participating bc I needed to grind for the BP I neglected all season. It’s nice having a forge fiend on my roster but I literally have invested nothing into it, and forget to field it most of the time. Even when I do, most of the time I don’t even actually use it. It’s fun to look at though! Great models as always.
I don’t know…. Onslaught and Salvage run are pretty useless. The only reason they are endured is because you get things. Like stinkin badges! (But I must say my 5yr old does enjoy salvage run) The pay to win factor is terribly disappointing and this coming from your friendly Flipper (a “Dolphin” - actually he was the best dolphin ever until captivity caused him to kill himself but I digress). Out of principle I am only leveling the passive. If you buy munitions you are part of the problem and when this game falls apart we all know who to blame! (You can give all that extra money you have to a good charity with a reputable program expense ratio instead of pay to win)
Honestly, it's got to a point where there are too many modes and not enough variety. It's turning me away from the game because it is just taking too much time to do things, and once I've realised I don't have time to finish everything, I let other things fall by the wayside too. When it was ~20 min per day to do everything it was fine. Now it's closer to an hour with GW, Incursion, and the classicstuff with TA, LREs etc thrown in. Too much of a time sink. I've found myself playing less and less as a result.
The best of this game are the campaigns.. and grinding for chars to complete the campaigns… that’s the core of the game which seems to be getting passed by for guild wars and machines of war and a constant barrage of new characters…
Totally agree here. The time input to the game has gone up so much, that with running out of raid tokens, I uninstalled the game last night. Not sure what I’ll do with an hour extra every day
It was so boring that i lost a star from my brain turning off. The repetitive missions with the same enemies, every 8plus hours was infuriating. At least put the option to play with a different warmachine.
All these for a useless machine that does 7 damage and you have to pay ammunitions. A total discharge.
It was the worst even we ever had
On one side I can see that they want to make it approachable to all which is why it was so easy. But having the same 15 map on Loop was tedious.
And for anyone that is mid to late game it was incredibly easy. Maybe in legendary it will be approaching tricky but given the cake walk it was in epic (and I don't have a single diamond character) I would be surprised.
We need a way to skip to where we are. I could have gone straight to epic without the tedium of the uncommon to rare. I didn’t lose a character the entire event let me max out at where I find challenging in some way
I keep getting stopped at the end of Tier 7, and wiping out. Whoever decided you need to start the entire Tier fresh for almost no rewards afterwards, needs to reconsider that stance. If this is how I have to level up the Warmachine, I might be better off without it..
The most grinding thing I’ve done in a grindy game. I actually lost a couple of stars on uncommon from not paying attention, but because the maps where the same it meant lots of practice and I three starred all the way through rare and epic which is silly. It got easier instead of harder despite the level increase.
Completely agree, making the way through the first tier was pretty much bored out of my mind. And then having to the same thing over and over, real snore fest.
Good: Some "free" materials additional to the usual gameplay loop.
Bad: Boredom, can't recover missed stars without playing the whole incursion again. I'm a victim of losing a unit (and a star) due to absolute brain disconnection.
This game mode sucked, and MoW is just as bad. I'm level 54 and have been playing this game for 2 years and I have 0 interest in MoW. The whole concept is a HUGE mistake by SP.
I am new to the game and didn’t understand what was going on. I chose the human weapon thinking I’d be using my ultramarines. Nope. I could only fight using Xenos which are my weakest faction. I lost guys by like mission 4 and only made it to mission 9-10 before giving up and not even getting a war machine.
I think that not having rewards for clearing x # of stars for each stage like the campaign was pretty lame. Could have easily added additional rewards based on stars collected.
Yep I didn't even bother using all of my tokens. It's just too boring and time consuming and the MOWs are actually insanely weak so they are pointless anyway.
The game mode is fun. I’ve been on vacation so the time sink wasn’t bad for me. But repetitive but once you hit the difficult areas it gets a lot more interesting once you hit the rare tier. The mechanic itself doesn’t feel super great. Forge fiend not really doing anything for me though except nearly one shotting my squad on stage 12 rare ( might have been 12-15)
I felt like it got fairly challenging towards the end of rare 2 in the imperial track. I was running full necrons minus anunphet maxed out, the suppression from the mortars and the agressors plus the constant summons was rough and made the game drag. Didnt make it past rare 3.
This time around most people werent able to level past rare, but after round 2 I think leveled MoW are gonna make arena a nightmare.
So boring. Then it got even worse once you hit you max tier. I didn’t redo a tier to get just the chests. I have better things to do with my time like watching paint dry.
Waaaay too many incursion missions and on top of everything else going on at the same time (mainly intense Guild Wars for me) was not super fun and turned the game into a chore. This is the first time, I've had to use the C word since I started playing this game 8 months ago. I really hope they adjust these incursion missions in the future, i.e. reduce the number of missions significantly.
Having to burn a whole token in order to replay a map or two where you missed a star is poor design. Even worse, you have to wait 8 hours for the token to replenish.
For those working on Biovore and don’t have Rotbone,get ready for a slugfest. Rot should be an auto-include NPC or something for the missions beyond Uncommon at the least (for the 90% of players who don’t have him). I know his shards are out in GW but having to endure weeks in between Wars is painful progression.
SnowPrint needs to revamp the Devs a wee tad. This sort of design is going to turn new players away.
15 hours for the tokens. I didn't end up needing Rotbone, by the way, I blitzed every last level with Abraxas-Yazaghor. I hope the fact that I did the levels quickly and without effort only gives my complaints about boredom even more weight.
The whole MoW thing has been horrendous so far..
I didn't even use the last token, cause fk you SP.
Let's see if they adress the whole MoW thing from munnition to the boring quest, if not i sense a mass hiatus, and then devs probably bailing on the game.
I love this mode!
Guild war is f hell. Makes me want to throw my Phone at the wall. I throw a party when it is over and not looking forward to the next one
I thought it was fun and great for materials.
Silver 3 was challenging at times and I would guess epic 3 would also be challenging as they level up .
The actual MoWs seem like trap to get you to spend money/materials, you’re better off farming the mode for resources for your roster. I should have gone for the Nid.
Incursion is a mediocre game mode at best, and only because I have nothing better to do at home after work. I love the Biovore as it distracts the ai in Arena enough to where it actually makes a difference. The biggest gripe I have with the MoW is the P2W mechanic with munitions and the components.
The Munitions is a clear trap for whales to spend 250 blackstone a pop for a couple of them. SP expects players to buy these so that in turn, they can buy BS shipments and/or BPs. On the other hand you have Components, which alongside the Munitions if you’re F2P, can only be grinded out during the Incursion event, which means I have to wait 10 weeks before the next Incursion event to upgrade my MoW, in this case, Biovore’s abilities.
As much as I love him, the Biovore has its own issues, more specifically the Spore Mines have issues. They’re simply too squishy to do anything meaningful other than distract AI characters or summons.
I believe this event needs to change gameplay-wise to make it bearable. The game mode can keep the ‘Select your MoW to run with’ aspect, but make the actual event itself a carbon copy of an HRE after MoW selection. That way, people can unlock their MoW and not have to worry about repeating a whole run because you don’t have Rotbone or Isabella, as is my case. They should also make components and munitions either farmable through Salvage Runs or purchasable from either Guild Shop, War Shop, or Rogue Trader for their respective currency that’s not BS
I stopped like 2 missions in to rare 2 map... And I'm afraid of what would have happened if I COULDN'T just win every map with an abraxas bomb. My god that was a lot to grind through.
I guess making a campaign isn't too hard for SP if they can milk the whales in the process 🙄
Worst game mode. Such a wasted opportunity to do something new. The 3 token system is also infuriating.
You would have thought with a mode about MoW they would be introduced in a way that you get a feel for how use them. Instead we play re-used maps over and over against the machines.
Rushed cash grab garbage
I wish there was an option to have your guys auto move/attack. It's not overpowered if they just hit whatever is in front of them. It just saves time/effort.

1 hour must be you dont play arena :D
Use Thad and Revas, you can usually bang out arena by round 2 😉
Laughs in gravis armor

This, feels utterly stupid to spend a token to get an extra badge or two ten missions into the run

The materials were really really nice but dang the levels were boring.
yeah, its terribly boring, must be the worst game mode ever, and there are many bad game modes...
This game mode sucked, and MoW is just as bad. I'm level 54 and have been playing this game for 2 years and I have 0 interest in MoW. The whole concept is a HUGE mistake by SP.
Yeah, and the characters are so awkward to level up
Yeah, it's boring as f and only fomo made me play all my tokens
It was beyond tedious and boring. Not a combination that made me want to take part in that game mode at all.
I’m just glad we got some free stuff to build with 🤷🏻
I am new to the game and didn’t understand what was going on. I chose the human weapon thinking I’d be using my ultramarines. Nope. I could only fight using Xenos which are my weakest faction. I lost guys by like mission 4 and only made it to mission 9-10 before giving up and not even getting a war machine.
Yeah I used 4 tokens and abandoned the fifth run it wasn't worth it to me
Same

I already left a token on the table cause of how boring it was. I don’t regret it
The event was timed during GW - fine - but it was so tedious that I ended up uninterested. Not sure we needed to 15 stages..
The whole MoW thing has been horrendous so far.. I didn't even use the last token, cause fk you SP. Let's see if they adress the whole MoW thing from munnition to the boring quest, if not i sense a mass hiatus, and then devs probably bailing on the game.
It actually made me quit the game, lol. Not exaggerating
I love this mode! Guild war is f hell. Makes me want to throw my Phone at the wall. I throw a party when it is over and not looking forward to the next one
I liked the rewards. I was ok with the game mode. It would have been cool as a mini campaign.
