I just wondered if that old annihilation format was no more or will it be back?

I really miss that old format?
 
Honestly, I would really like the old version to come back. It's impossible for someone like me to manage to do this version in its entirety.

Yep that is the same for me too.

I give up at stage 5 because it just gets to tedious and just not worth the pain to do more stages. Plus rewards are total dog poop lol - The rewards in the old format was at least a bit better.
 
Completely agree !
 
Maybe I should have done a poll to bring back Annihilation haha
 
is the "Nightmare Nexus" the same pile of ... like the summer one or which one is this?
If so then atleast i know i don't need to make any deposits since that format is not something i enjoy personally

I do not know, you would need to ask someone who is on Cyrene or knows about it?

I would guess it is the same new format and not the old format though. Unless MA have allowed Cyrene to use the old format for the Nightmare Nexus instances.

If that is the case then I will be headed to Cyrene and doing that if it is the old format.

I think that was Cyrene Halloween.

From my understanding we are getting Survival and spawns planet side for Caly. I checked last year's mayhem notes and survival seems... Meh.

The Mayhem Format is gone, they removed it. Its a skeleton format left, without any rewards, more or less.

We will just have to wait for new content, I guess.

Ok yeah it just sucks.

MA made the wrong decision removing the old format.
 
What motivated me was to loot tokens to be able to buy pills. Now it's finished...

For me it was not really about the tokens but rather the fact we could just grind standing still for hours. Yes some found that boring and I did at times as well. But you know how it is, when they change something we always end up missing how it used to be like.
 
And especially now it's complicated for us small/medium players!
 
For the first time boxes have value again and the same thing with M tokens, they promote active game play. You can farm the same lvl over and over again if you need M token and box. So for the love, don’t change anything. Promote more active game play

I am not sure droprate is high enough to create incentive. When summer Mayhem came around I think I got about 200 tokens first night and then the rewards were minimal.

When HM comes around I will math it and if it is unreasonable for me to gather a minimum of 2200 tokens without treating the game as a job I will skip it.
 
I don't mind having to stay active and having little reward. It's the difficulty, it's way too hard for middle players...
 
It's not the difficulty. it's the repetitiveness of silly tasks like with the last couple of mayhems, basically running a certain parkour over and over again that is annoying and boring to me at least.
It's like: going to your local shop, and having to hop 5 times to the left, 3 times up in the air, then 2 times back to the right. climbing a stairs, going down the slide. hopping 5 times to the right, jumping 3 times in the air and then 2 times back to the left, before being ALLOWED to PURCHASE your coffee or cookie, wich a big chance of receiving only 50-75% of the coffee or cookie.
 
With my gear and my skills is impossible for me to finish.

Yes this exactly as well and the fact for low to middle range players they will never be able to finish all stages. Most give up at stage 5 to 10 mainly due to those reasons you stated and because they are too difficult to do.

So the current format is just unfair to the low to middle players. MA should go back to the old format in my opinion. They had 2 Mayhems one like the current and then they had the Annihilation as well.

The new format is only benefiting for the ubers and players who have good armor and gear. Anyone else below that will never be able to finish all stages. Just totally unfair. At least on the old format you still could take part in the mayhem because it had the Annihilation. Easy level mobs to very hard level mobs. You then just had to pick which you could comfortably be able to do, be it bronze, silver, gold or redulite.

I usually did silver or gold.

So people who invested time and money into gear shouldn't have an advantage?
 
No at all but this is too much we can't participate anymore.

This argument doesn't make any sense. In annihilation you picked a lower level and grinded it over and over. In the new format you can pick a lower level still and grind it over and over. Nothings changed in that aspect just the format. Now if you were not able to complete level 1 then this argument would make some sense.

The argument everyone else is having is that the new format is too repetitive and boring especially with no UL item rewards. What's good tho is that active players have a massive advantage with the new format over afk play. The lowest level player had a higher advantage than the biggest uber with a fortune in gear practically but no one did it not even me and now I regret it. Since no1 did it now MA is changing it back into AFK ftw but into the open world instead where people can grief other players and drag them to space to get looted. Or kill stealing will grief active players.

I'm not even sure what the smart way to go is anymore at this point. Probably still a mayhem token auction and add very limited number of UL weaps over the course of the year with tokens being tradable always to give everyone MU and put a floor price for existing UL weaps because of pills, exceptionals, etc. But they won't do a token auction system for some reason.

Yup.

Everyone had a chance to participate in the Old Mayhems and work toward their goals. In whatever pace they wanted. Some people wanted to pull a BP-70 Perfected. For others, their goal was to pull a BC-30 or LR-20.

They can't bring back the Old Mayhem because of the inflation of Mayhem Tokens. But they can make one or several new formats to simply replace Old Mayhem and let people work toward their goals again.
