Can we stop calling it DQ because I always think we're talking about Dairy Queen and then I get sad?

@Rhyno1986_XBL said in Diamond Quest Sucks:
DQ is way better then the other off line modes for farming stubs and packs.
Honestly this is the #1 problem here.
Even though it is impossible to simultaneously play both (on the same account anyway), SDS treated this like some kind of zero sum game. They did not provide a repeatable conquest and completely gutted miniseason rewards for repeating (without increasing the first time clear rewards)
So there is a deserved animosity by some people towards the mode

Well obviously you've not played the show that long because there has never been repeatable conquests for rewards. And the mini season rewards is the exact same they have been for 4 years. So again invalid argument since your only saying your feelings not facts. Mini seasons always has mission rewards (so many hits with certain series or tier or strikeouts) then 1 time rewards for winning so many games, and then your post season pack and championship pack. Then usually some repeatable missions.

@Rhyno1986_XBL Wasn't there a conquest called "Run it Back" or something that was repeatable?

I am not going to get too deep into this debate. I will say that so far, my opinion of Diamond Quest has not been the most positive. As a veteran player who does not spend as much time playing the game as others on the forum I am not willing to gamble my play time on a mode where my time investment might not pay off.
I understand odds. I have not purchased any pack for stubs in years because I understand odds. It is because I understand odds and realize that a 50% or 60% chance to win a reward could pretty easily result in me not winning the reward in multiple attempts that I am not willing to play it, at least so far.
I have said it before and I still believe it, MLB 23 and MLB 24 were much friendlier to the more casual players. The more dedicated players hated that. This year, I believe, the pendulum has swung pretty far in the other direction.
I do applaud SDS for coming up with a new mode though, even if I have not particularly enjoyed it.

@Rhyno1986_XBL there was repeatable Conquest rewards: USA map until 24 and in 23 and before, you had one where you beat 3 teams for 5 packs.

I'll see you a DQ and raise you a Culvers.
Mint Oreo Mixer with extra Oreos. Pay the $10, do extra cardio the next day, and thank me later.

Arrghh, stop talking about Dairy Queen. I have one literally a minute from my house and got a little to accustomed to evening Blizzards multiple times a week. I started a diet on May 1st (7.3 pounds down so far) and have, for now sworn off sweet treats but it ain't easy and I have been craving some ice cream the last few nights.
But when I was buying Blizzards I was partaking of their limited time Dipped Strawberry Cheesecake Blizzard and S'mores blizzard. My normal go to ones are Oreo (no mint please) and Butterfinger

I blame all of you for the blizzard that I currently have

No there wasn't, conquest has always been complete it once and get the packs and then it gets a check mark. Going back never netted you more packs. So please don't try and lie about it. All they have done to nerf conquest is you use to get 2 or 3 diamond players for completing it as well, where this year you don't. If you actually want to show were they have gutted rewards look ar events where you literally have no reason to play anymore since they took out card rewards and rewards path.

There was and I guess yes for the week of the program you could continue to get 5 packs but only for the 1 week that program was available. At least in DQ you can keep repeating and seem to net 14, standard packs, 3 silver, and like 8 bronze. Sure not great but that's without even doing the stadium challenges. Now I'm not saying SDS has pretty much quietly spit in the face average players like me. They have we use to get a whole reward path for events with there being a diamond player or 2 you could earn. Now there is absolutely nothing. As well as they pretty much made it worthless to even play March to October because after 3 play through the path is maxed out. I'm simply saying that given play time average with rewards available DQ is the best bang for your buck.

I will correct myself and say they did once release a run it back program with a conquest you could repeat. But it had a time limit of a week for when the program it was tied to was released.

The USA map was repeatable, you got a 10pk bundle and stubs(5k?) every time you conquered all territories.

This. I completed it 10 times per year easy. I thought the rewards weren't enough then but I'd happily take it back!
