Best Of

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.

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. 🤡
