Re: 7* compensation decision was wrong and here is an evidence.
Vega got on immediately during the bug and told the viewers not to open crystals because they were bugged. He then proceeded to open all of his despite knowing they were bugged. Then when the 1:1 compensation notice was released, he acted all surprised and ended his boycott. I'm sure someone told him to get that video down.
Re: 7* compensation decision was wrong and here is an evidence.
it’s just intellectually dishonest to claim this comp is inconsequential. And to be clear - KABAM never said that. Only the apologist white knights have made that claim.
all Kabam put out was essentially “we made a decision, got feedback from the forums, and were unmoved”
I think there is only two conclusions we can draw: the game team is completely incapable of calculating the impact of items in the game economy (not likely). Or the game team found the solution that was easiest for them to get the check box checked on correcting crystals and took the lazy way out (most likely).
7* compensation decision was wrong and here is an evidence.
Here is the link to KT1 opening of compensation for 7* crystal problem
https://youtu.be/rIEi0WPQn7E?si=L8S2yes3I04MztgC.It is a good example of what is vrong with compensation if you just notice what he puts in the focus.
At first I really appreciate that in the beginning he said that current compensation format is wrong and there could be better solution which was many times suggested on forums.
At second, let me summarize main points of this video:
- Crystals to open: 48 from compensation + 1 was already saved.
- Initial titan shards on the account: 14688
- New champions gained that were in previous pool: Hood.
- Dupes on significant champions which were in previous pool: Prowler x2, Knull X3, Shocker x1, Titania x1, Enchantress x2, Havok x1, Bullseye x1, Spiral x1. I do not count champions which are mid-level in my opinion. But just from this set - all of these champions like dupes and these dupes are equivalent of 240 sig stones (more than 2 odins during cyber monday).
- New champions from newly added to the pool: Dr Vodoo.
- Dupes on newly added champions to the pool: Omega Red x1, Mole Man x1, Mr Sinister x1, Isophyne x1, Cap Marvel x1, Anti Venom x1. (I hope I did not miss somebody).
- Total pulled champions from newly added: 7 from 49 crystals. So, only 7 crystals are effective and 42 crystals are literally a free addition to prestige or some champions force.
- Titan shards after pulling: 44688. Effectively +30k titan shards. Note that with his initial opening he also got 30k titan shards. So, he got 3 titan crystals from dupes while others got just 1,5.
- Overall reaction: KT1 mainly talks about how nice that he got these 60 sig levels on Knull and 40 sig levels on Prowler. He almost saying nothing about newly added champions, except mentions that he wanted Black Panther.
I also wanted to analyze Vega's video, but it required sponsorship and now it is disappeared. I do not know what was in this video, but guess it could be in similar format.
To sum up, my thoughts are:
- Compensation is unfair. It would be better to give people 10 nexus selectors between newly added champions and it would be a lot better and nobody would complain. Current compensation fair just for ~14% (7 out of 49 crystals pulled newly added champion). All other is a very crazy and very good stuff for "lucky person at lucky time".
- It is not KT1's fault or somebody else's fault how they react to that. Everybody who receives compensation and protects it on forums like "it is fair since we also need chance to pull new champions" - they are right and wrong at the same time. They deserve this chance. But they deserve it in fair way to other players as well! But, I cannot blame them. I would react exactly the same. I would think exactly the same like "ookay, I will ramp up my prestige for free, I will get more titan shards". I would care about new champions just a little.
- It is only Kabam's fault of their bad decision how to make this compensation.
Re: So…Solvarch
I don't think his sig ability is really that important, I feel like if anything it can screw up your ramp completely because you lose your armor.
As for Solvarch himself as a champ, top 5 tech regardless of what some people like swiss cheese might say. He handles all the most problematic mutant defenders and the ones that apply neuros on you for just hitting them he absolutely nukes:
He has been one of my most banned champs only after Dark Phoenix which is why I barely have any matches where I actually get to use him or place him
But on the few I placed him on defense he cooked so far, and again I am in Mysterium so this isn't just a skill issue he really is that good of a defender.
Anyways yeah top 15 champ for BGs overall easily, anyone who says otherwise is probably a VT noob lol I would even go as far as saying that he is by far the best and only meta Eidol out of all of them because of defensive prowess and mutant nuker potential.
Re: Apparently, this is what a tie looks like...
that’s actually an interesting mechanic, wish there was more info
Re: Can you get banned for exploiting the Purgatory bug?
This is different than the crystal bug. If you run her once that's one thing but if you clear a bunch of content with her expect your account to be reviewed for a possible ban.
Re: The Problem with The Compensation
"We don't want to encourage players to take advantage of bugs." Yet reward them this time, which is the exact opposite of what I just borrowed from your words. Seems a flawed strategy…
Re: The Problem with The Compensation
If comping people justly on the Zola issue would have destroyed game economy, but 7*s being comped out now in buckets is NOT an issue now, then why couldn’t folks who were genuinely affected by the Zola issue not just get buckets of 7*s too?
Re: The Problem with The Compensation
With all due respect Mike, you all can hope people won’t exploit bugs going forward…. But that’s fantasy land. Everyone got the message loud and clear after this fiasco of a comp.
Re: The Problem with The Compensation
This has been aa absolute diaster, another example of kabam not testing stuff before the launch it, this has 3 fold effects.
As many pointed out all the free sigs, and titan shards and iso etc.
I doubt many had all champs from the old pool, as they would have had a chance to gain those missing champs from the old pool.
Now they get all those crystals again with a rare chance to grab champs from the new pool.
Kabam has dropped the ball here its one of the biggest mistakes for some time, and expands the divide even more. Pathetic!
