Re: Radio Silence from the Team + Unaddressed Problems
Big post incoming
Let's address everyone's points here. It's 2am, so forgive any slight errors.Mysterium
It was stated that Mysterium would be absent from the build in the first week of the month, yet the overall amount of Mysterium would remain the same throughout the month.The feedback is heard that you don't like the lack of Mysterium during the first week of the month - that has been passed onto the team a few times now.
Intimidate
Intimidate reduces the Opponents chance of throwing a Special by 30%.The additional potency listed is for block penetration - if multiple stacks exits, the block penetration increases.
Intimidate simply is not a Special Lock - that effect exists and is different from Intimidate.
If we ever do a Tech version of Titania 2099, there's a solid chance she'd have a Special Lock instead of Falter & Intimidate (no, this is not a WOW LEAKS moment).
I don't understand why multiple people are referencing her Deep Dive.
The Deep Dive states "take advantage of her Intimidate to KO the Opponent," and that's about it, while showcasing her utilizing her heavy attacks after her Special 3 with an appropriate amount of Power on the Opponent.
Silk Lock Knock-ons
This is absolutely a valid concern and something I brought up internally.At this time, the team feels the changes made to prevent Silk (and others) from breaking the game are too important to revert, even if it's impacting Titania if she happens to push the Opponent red. As an avid Titania user, I fully understand the impact when closing out a fight and you need to continue using your Heavy after your Haymakers have come and gone.
I can poke at this again, but I would recommend using her Special 3 when the Opponent isn't at 3 bars of power.
Further AI Concerns
I understand the AI can be frustrating at times - it can be frustrating often. Don't forget, I'm a very high level player as well and run into all the same AI, I believe the kids call it "clown fiesta moments" that you all do. "Fixing the AI" is a very touchy subject, and as outlined in our previous AI Dev Diary, there are lots of talented people working behind the scenes to try and make this as amazing an experience as possible. That reminds me, we need to get a follow up to that Dev Diary out soon. All that being said, the AI is not "learning" or waiting for debuffs to fall off before using Specials. I understand why it could feel that way, and I've often found myself saying "oh, come on now" when it happens to me. Think about how many fights you do in MCOC per day; if you're on the forums, you probably play a lot. The times when the AI feels bad are, unfortunately, going to be more memorable to you than the times things go smoothly and as expected.QOL Requests
These requests are larger than you might imagine. Unfortunately, there isn't just a "lock players to the Battlegroup" button we could press to make that happen overnight. There are additional knock-ons to consider as well. What happens if, for some reason, a player needs to join a different Battlegroup due to backup concerns?Unlikely, I know - but it's something that needs to be considered if that imaginary button did exist.
Fwiw, I understand the request and I agree it would be better if it operated that way.
Conclusion
If you think you're being ignored, or we aren't reading what you're saying - that's incorrect.Again, it's 2am, and instead of winding down for bed I'm sitting at my desk trying my best to address everyone's concerns and make sure they know they're heard.
We aren't always going to be able to address the same questions or topics in multiple threads when multiple exist.
The forums are huge, and things get lost easily. I think a solution for that could be combining threads more often, but regardless, the point here is that I'm actively scanning the forums all day, all of your concerns are always heard, and passed along where they need to be.
All of THAT being said, goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite.

Re: This is how to save MCOC and make it great again
(Time to spam the “off topic”)
Why do we feel compelled to take these and numerous other issues straight to FTP vs. Whale? These issues are felt among spenders to non-spenders across the whole spectrum. Just seems like an unnecessary categorization - I am sure there are “whales” who are quite tired of spending event after spending event as a “for instance”

Re: I HATE BATTLEGROUNDS!!!!!!!
I look forward to when Kabam makes Battlegrounds Casual mode.
Then all the complaints will be about the worthless rewards in there since the highest tier rewards will still come from the highest competitive play.

Re: Still Permanently Banned
Well if youI have to, I have no other choice. This is the only way I can get Kabam support to hear me out. I was wrongfully banned.To be fair, you are embarrassing yourself.Could it be that Kabam is ignoring you bcos they have solid evidence to back their ban and can't be bothered to entertain everyone who is banned 1 by 1That doesn't make sense honestly, if they do have solid evidence then why not just present it and embarrass me on the forums? They've done that many times to other actually cheaters.
Re: Still Permanently Banned
EXACTLY, Kabam support can easily just find out what is what and unban me. But they refuse to even hear me out and they just mark all of my tickets solved without even a single reply.This ban thread is the most boring everThen again, there isn't really alot OP can share..
OP has not provide any evidence to back what he says except to say he is innocent
Can OP share some screenshots of what you see when you open the app, emails with support etc
Anything that is of interest
If you weren't prepared for this banwave, then all you'd have is the screenshot from the settings app list that says it was installed from Play Store.
And most people claim that thats fake or manipulated, so yeah.
And most of the emails that come from support were either batch made or probably just say that they're still investigating.
The only data that could be used to prove OPs innocence would probably the dev data that they used for the ban wave in the first place.
I once heard back from Kabam Xhyra and they told me to reply to my original ticket instead of making new ones but even then the original ticket is being marked as solved.
If Kabam just comes and tells me that I did break TOS and the ban was real then I can drop this. But I bet they can't because I was wrongfully banned and the longer this goes the less likely are they to reply and make themselves look bad for this terrible negligence.

Thanks for the write up ... One thing i also want to point out is that there are other persistent or reoccurring bugs that are was resolved for a couple of weeks but have since returned..Big post incoming

One example is the Kingpin on the AW mutant showcase map. Degen in the node is applying to the attacker again after this was fixed.
I'm suspecting one of the bug fixes mid month brought this back as the code for the degen fix was not tracked into the code push and reverted that segment back.
Can you please look into this again? thanks.
Re: FTP Research Grant total?
Do we know if the research grants from the arcade are the “special gameplay objectives” or if that is something else?Putting the research grants into this new "fun" gamemode is just plain scummy. I just can't bring myself to sit through it.
