Agree completely.

This is the comments record of our community manager:

So, Dave literally hasn't commented on the forums in three months. He's posted two announcements. This is our "community manager"!

So, taking a look at other "Kabam" accounts:

Well they're here. But active doesn't mean posting or anything. Just that that's when they last checked in; which will have been suddenly skewed by the Adaptive EQ problems making them shut down the entire game.

Even Pinwheel isn't posting lately - not a word in two weeks!

Rex/Mike is fairly active, and Crashed is moderately active (and it's not even Crashed's job to be here!), and to a lesser extent Pinwheel.

But the total lack of any interactions from our community manager is a pretty clear message that either he was told that communicating on the forums wasn't actually his responsibility; or that replacing Jax as 'community manager' was a reach that Dave just wasn't up to.

Long time player beyond frustrated

I started playing a month or so after the game came out. I’ve seen all the craziness, 12.0, the boycotts, the constant bugs and constantly designing content to draw money out of players for revives and health or needing to buy crystals for a specific champion.

I get it, they are a company. They need to make money but at what point do you take a minute to realize you’ve been taking advantage of the players more and more since the company changed hands. The constant sales where the company EXTREMELY over values the assets they are selling but knows they’ve created a bunch of addicts who need that fix have taken away the fun of earning your way towards the top for many in your community.

The AI of the opponent has made some nodes beyond frustrating as you wait an eternity for a special to be thrown, or the opp waits out every debuff on them before they attack. On top of that, the lag and disconnects have made it more frustrating than fun recently.

On top of all that, one of the things I looked forward to the last few months was the valiant AQ. Challenging but with decent rewards and a fair amount of time and effort for the rewards. That has changed. The rewards compared to the effort needed NOW in AQ is a joke. It feels like a waste of time and has made it so if I do AQ it won’t be for fun. It’ll be because if you don’t do everything you fall way more behind everyone else than you would if your spending to R4 every 7* you have.

Compensation for another, quite long, game crash is a bandaid on a gunshot. Compensation is great but a game worth playing would be better. I’m sure there are people that love the new AQ and don’t share all of these issues, and that’s fine. We all have different experiences here but there are MANY who have been saying most of this better than me and it feels like the game is hitting quicksand…unless you swipe your card to get out.

Re: Prestige Reward Increase Scales Horribly! ⬇️ Good…

I just love the fact that forum MEMEbers and even Kabam have said 24/7 to "rank up heroes that you like."

Now to get rewards you're now forced to rankup top prestige heroes 🤣🤣

Good one Kabam to finally expose the hypocrisy.

Re: Adaptive EQ difficult

Kabam BIG conspiracy #213 :-

"Sucking the fun out of the EQ is not sudden but Kabam's long effort. With every new story title, Kabam is forced to make new EQ and also give better rewards every single month, we all know how their REWARDS BUDGET works (it doesn't but Kabam is kabam)

So, what Kabam does? First they delayed Valiant EQ for more than 1½ years, then they instead turned it into gauntlet thing by copying Paragon gauntlet but instead Valiant is much bigger and longer fights, it's cool, playerbase still did it, so Kabam changed the whole format suddenly, their reason? Ughh we're experimenting ughhh, players said whatever and continued to play the EQ, that didn't suit Kabam well, so they double downed into breaking Valiant EQ by once again changing format because they're ughhh experimenting ughh, forcing players to fight SAME boss with SAME nodes three times in a single quest, that's right THREE !!! What a joke.

But here's the funny part, players complained but still kept on doing EQ, Kabam now pissed af, slammed their fist on table and instead of fixing the problem, they went ahead and grabbed the EQ format by it's throat and turned it upside down, in short giving defenders 1 million HP, as if taunting players with, now try to play EQ."

Good company but recent team is sucking the fun outta game, not once in quarter but with every single monthly update, who tf asked you to poke EQ so much? Now it's dead, don't tell us that raids is next?

Instead of trying to fix something that's not broken, why don't ya try and do something about AQ? That **** should've been the TOP thing to fix and could easily be monetized by attaching prestige to AQ scoring but BIG L KABAM. 🤡

Paragon Elder difficulty is significantly higher than it has any right being

As a paragon player with a decent roster it feels like making any sort of progress in the elder difficulty is nigh impossible, there is absolutely no way that kabam should expect that any paragon player has ranked 16 champs per class capable of fighting enemies that are scaled far more drastically than should ever be dreamed off.
I found the crucible fun but challenging because i got to test my roster, though i still wasnt able to make it to the end of any of the paths because i literally did not have enough champs to do so, yet the elder difficulty eq is even more restrictive and even has similar healthpools.

I am a reasonable person who thinks that the vast majority of the communities whining is incredibly excessive, however the event quest content should not be comparable to the games "everest" content and whoever thought this was a good idea should be fired and unless there are large changes to this content I will not be spending any more money on this game, I don't even really care for compensation, i would simply just like to be able have a fighting chance at this content.

About New Elder EQ

I think this is one of the worst content among WOF designed by kabam

The problems i am facing in the Eq

* The healthpools are too large
( literally most fight taking 100+ hits or more even with 7* rank3 with correct node champ requirement )

* There is no auto healing and quest suck your revives and pots
( With such a large healthpool and very high atk which can mess u up if u did even 1 mistake in eq so the quest is too revive & pots consuming )

* Rewards Sucks even for high prestige
( Why I said this bcuz the efforts & roster it requires to complete this eq doesn't felt equal to rewards which quest giving )

* Nodes are not designed correctly and too restrictive
( Yes the nodes of quest are too bad first of all u require around 20 to 30 champs of each class at high ranks in order to tackle this quest but if this wasn't enough there are nodes in the quest which make a lot of champs of the class useless )

* Rewards ratio to efforts/time ratio is not correct
( Yes rewards to efforts ratio is messed up for example - look at crucible rewards and look at elder monthly eq rewards !!
Ask yourself after doing both is this eq easier & roster friendly than the crucible ?
But if compare rewards of both there are no way near each other )

* Prestige requirement is not good move
( This sucks as most of players will agree this move force players to rankup only one category of champs which reduce the fun of the game )

* EQ is not suicide friendly
( Honestly I run suicides as I am casual arena player but due to this quest I have to shut down suicides bcuz healthpools are too high and recoil dmg hurting too much
Also there is skill quest node which completly removes your willpower. So investing 35 units just for the monthly eq and again invest 35 units to again start feel demotivating)

When valiant gauntlet released i honestly enjoyed the content bcuz efforts & time require was correct to rewards ratio it's giving
But this month doesn't feel like that bcuz of higher health pools

Some people say that the quest is designed to challenge you but ask why we need challenge in monthly eq ?

There are Endgame content,carina challenges,High bg in order to give u challenges there is no need to put roster,prestige requirement & stress on 1 mistake in monthly eq

Monthly eq are supposed to be fun content not a grinding space

I request kabam to fix these issues pls for next eq

Either put auto healing system on each fight or atleast once in four or five fights
Or
Reduce the healthpools & reduce atk also little bit as those are not feel correct for the rewards
Or
Improve the rewards if don't want to touch difficulty to make it feel worth the grind

Elder eq

Eq last month was perfect difficulty wise. Now defenders have 1mil+ health and the paths are twice as long. If we have to do crucible for eq now something has to change. 16 fight in a row with no auto healing and I’m basically locked to 1 class this ain’t it. I’m already gonna be forced to use under leveled champ cause not all champs work for some of these nodes. For example aa doesn’t gain furies on the mutant bio hazard node neither does domino. I’m a 6.2 mil acc I have a pretty diverse roster but I don’t have 16 highly ranked champs in each class
