Kabam don't care about forums,

Soon it'll be Kabam don't care about discord

And finally Kabam don't care about MCoC.

What?

This change is almost the exact opposite of what you are talking. about.

Before using only a couple specific champs mattered much more, it actually made a difference in who you took up. Now taking up a high prestige champ matters much less to the average/above average player because it's taking into account 30 champs instead of just 5.

Just some quick math. Difference between Sig 200 R4 Onslaught and Sig 200 R4Spider Punk for arguments sake. It's about ~700 prestige difference between the two. In the old system ranking up Onslaught would have been 700/5 = 140 more prestige to your account based on the 5 champ system compared to ranking up Punk.

With the new system it's 700/30 = 23.3. So ranking up Onslaught over Punk (In a Sig 200 scenario) would only add an extra 23 prestige lol.

In summary, rank up who you like, it matters much less now than before.

I agree with this, I'm not free to play but I'm casual. How is taking away options from players a good thing? I just finished Act 8.4.6, two days ago. I have 2 R4 7* and quite a few R3s. This quest content with long fights and nodes that need to be researched before deciding paths, take everything away from the casual gaming experience.
I think the developers are catering to a niche community and are out of sync with the wider audience base. I mean its great if you're a Youtuber, you get to make more content and get more views, but the larger audience base seems to be alienated.

It's simple to understand they won't. The new prestige change gives Kabam a chance to earn money directly by forcing playerbase but changing the nodes requires manpower and why will they do that just to help playerbase take down EQ? No they want u to die in the quest they want you to use items they want you to use units and ultimately force some to buy it all with real cash.

TLDR: they won't read and fix it because it wouldn't make them money.

Kabam sucks

I did a few paths and all I can say is that I don't think I can afford to play this game anymore... both financially and time-wise. There's nothing left to do that isn't a stress-inducing resource-sink (besides maybe arena, shudders)

The only reason I'm still here is because I'm hopeful that they'll see the sentiment here and actually do something about it, but I won't hold my breath.

Months of testing different Valiant formats, finally getting to what the community liked, difficulty and rewards wise, only for kabam to completely abondon everything and go with this ****.

30 energy refills to complete content (with reduced acquisition of refills), adding in irrelevant rewards for valiant players (5* shards) and locking the main rewards behind elder difficulty with huuuge health pools and requiring 16 rank ups for each class (with specific node requirements) and then implementing a new prestige system to incentivise certain rank ups.

YOU HAVE COMPLETELY KILLED YOUR CASUAL GAMEPLAY!

Completely reinventing the carrot at the end of the stick, although while buying the allegiance of content creators with CCP 2.0.

You are very confident for someone that is hanging on by a thread, a game riddled with bugs, every update launch is broken, AI inconsistencies, banning players for a day or so on content day for attempting your new approach.

One piece of advice, if it ain't broke, DONT FIX IT!

the change for classic difficulty is whatever.

It’s elder difficulty that really bites into your resources, only 1 champ allowed, pick a different one every fight, but no healing.

Meanwhile your dealing with champs that can chip away at you even with perfect parries.

You won’t make it through without potions or revives, which I usually save those for harder/longer content like necro.

lame update.

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.

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.
