So instead of doing important things to make everyone happy, like fixing AI issues, bugs, input issues. The gap between f2p and whales. You make events no one asks for. Which is still some how gonna benefit spenders. This arcade mode is so bad it’s funny. Do you guys listen to the community. Or do you only listen to whales. Until it’s a boycott you listen. Until it’s your wallets getting hurt you listen. Just fix the game and make it fair.

Just to be clear, 100% hearing y'all on feedback with regards to Doom Cycle, have passed along those concerns to the team and leadership. However, want to dispel the rumor that this mode's development did not take away from fixing bugs, working on our improvements to ai, input issues etc. It's a large team here at Kabam that all do different things. Completely valid to not enjoy the mode, we're trying out new things. Gotten some pretty strong feedback about it so far which is fair. But it did not come at the expense of those other things.

That’s a stupid excuse I’m sure more then 85% of the community would not care if you guys said “hey we’re gonna hold off on new content like new side quests, events whatever, to focus all our team effort on a fixing issues that have persisted for the longest time. Also don’t ignore the gap between ftp and whales you know you love to cater to whales. Let’s start with bg. I get if you spend your more then likely gonna rank higher. When you make metas that if you have the new 5/5 defender and the counter to it your gonna win. Radiance new amazing currency, oh wait only available via pvp.

Okay lets say you have a car factory. You've got the car designers, the engineers, the sales people, the different factory lines that all do different things that all ultimately results in one finished car sold to you. If there was an issue with the car, saying hey we're having all employees report to the factory floor to work on this particular line is not a solution.

The game team is big and covers a lot of different jobs and specialties. Stopping running side quests, or event new champs, is not gonna result in bg fixes or ai improvements. Its different jobs with different skillsets and knowledge bases. I wish it was that easy to snap your fingers and say hey we're gonna fix this, but its more complex than that.

That all said, this month's build release was rough. No hiding that. Proud of the game team for getting a lot of fixes out the door quickly, but all of us would be the first to say we wish they didn't have to do that in the first place.

As to my actual opinion.
1. Its boring. pick some masteries and go. I have had more interactions when farming revives.
2. The entry system is completely bonkers for a beta mode. This one I really don't understand. You guys have run betas for years. They always have unlimited energy and revives to deal with the bugs that will definitely occur. But instead we have 3 tries (2 in my case) and then well come back tomorrow. Not even titan shards is worth that aggravation. If you want us to test out your "new ideas" make it so we actually can. Don't try to bleed us for money on something that already has bugs.
3. There is no actual information in either the video walkthough or the first set of waves. Yes it says some stuff about whats happening. But there is no info on the enemies, what powers they have, what damages they take. So again we have limited entries and yet there is no way to strategize besides going in and dying and then trying something else.

I concur that this may be the worst addition in years.

When i saw the 20,000 Titan crystal shards, I should have known it was to good to be true. Kabam if ur going for some rogue like arcade gamemode WHY THE HELL DO I NEED ENTRY TICKETS????!!! and oh the only other wait to get them is by spending money no surprise there and I'm pretty sure that even if i play it everyday still won't be able to get the shards right? All in all this is f*ckin disgusting, to make matters worse the gameplay itself is not only **** but also bugged, pls tell me in what godamn world is human to rich taking damage from incinerate? Plus i can't even control my characters, i have no way of getting those tickets to re roll the boosts, like again with the tickets I wouldn't mind the gamemode being super grind as long as there isn't some stupid restriction like bruh wtf Kabam? All in all this is one of the shitiest if not the shitiest gamemode y'all have ever released at this point y'all aren't even tryna encourage us f2p players, ur letting ur greed blind u and it will ultimately be ur downfall just watch, and by the time u realise this, u will do everything u can to fix the situation but to no avail, u will try to fix the bugs, bring good gamemodes and realise comic accurate champions but it'll all be for naught, only then will u realise just how much u f*cked up. If u like ignore it like u always do, the problems ain't gonna disappear it's just gonna grow more and more until it'll eventually get blown out of proportion.

Yea yea yea. Whatever I get that. How about you use all the money you guys accumulate from the whales spending on your game and hire more people to help fix the issues with your game… can’t be that hard to hire new employees with the amount of money you guys make.

More bodies isn't always the solution either, too many cooks and all that. Plus if youre just hiring people for a specific issue what happens to them when its solved? I understand you have frustrations and we also want to improve the game, but need to do so sustainably. Thankfully neither of us are the ones that have to make those tough business calls.
