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.

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.

I really applaud your transparency in these threads. It's appreciated.

Besides buying tickets to clear all of this in one day, all of the items available through the objectives are easily obtained by ftp as well. How is that not fair?

Wow, another day, another amazing take from Buttehrs. Who would've guessed you'd be out here defending Kabam like they're paying your rent?

Can always count on butter boy to be defending kabam 🤣

Except he's dead ass accurate. So when it's truth it's "defending kabam" because you guys don't wanna wait for the rewards, that EVERYBODY will get?

The only advantage to spending money is literally to get the same rewards sooner than a FTP does.
Such a bunch of whiney, entitled kids on these forums.

Seriously though you want us to test out a new mode, so day 1 you start monetizing it and there's only 3 entries. Have you guys ever played a roguelite? Imagine you can only play hades 3 times a day. The entire point is to keep playing and dying and improving your setup so you can keep getting further and further. I'm genuinely so confused by the decision to lock this behind 3 entries a day and try to monetize a side quest replacement from the very start. This should've been unlimited entries and no monetization. Monetize other stuff. More mastery points, that currency that lets us choose boosts. Whatever. But you kill the whole point of the game mode immediately.

On top of that it's not fun at all. At least other roguelites you can control the character. This is an autofight simulator with zero guidance on what we should be doing and what works and what doesn't. Only reason I'm doing it is for the doombots. Don't mistake participation in the data after this event is done for enthusiasm for the game mode. I don't think I've seen the community dislike something this much so quickly.
