Re: Will the SpiderWoman nerf influence your spending?
Yes! I’ve been stuck in this toxic relationship with Kabam for 8+ years - survived all the gaslighting, the mood swings, and the straight-up abuse. I’ve been a 'moderate spender' for the past 3-4 years, with the occasional full-on whale meltdown on July 4th and Cyber Weekend. But this Spider-Woman nerf? That’s it. I have finally realized that if Kabam were a person, they’d be the most egotistical, sadistic maniac I’ve ever met. Most, if not all, of their decisions are based on profit margins, not player experience. Congrats, Kabam - you finally broke me. I’m done spending!
Re: Spider-woman balance update
I turned off my summoner Sigil permanently because of the last month of what they have done. Congrats, I came back after 7 years and had a lot of fun in the Summer and you absolutely ruined the fun the last few weeks. Should have known after leaving at 12.0.
You need to work hard to earn a dollar like everyone else, don’t piss on me and tell me it’s raining.
Re: Spider-woman balance update
one of many horrible decisions as of late. Sigil was cancelled immediately upon hearing this. Hopefully Kabam sees the push back from the community and goes back to have a discussion with the game team.
Re: Spider-woman balance update
Wasn't making them money on offense. So they acted in the best interest of the company. Lol
Spiderwoman's AAR is too "confusing" .... but the Pacify mastery has existed for years
Then why have players had to deal with the confusing interactions from the Pacify Mastery the entirety of the game's existence??
The Pacify mastery is similarly 'not potent enough to encourage using it as a solution to defensive encounter', but it is 'strong enough to add confusing interactions across the game'.
Re: Kabam you guys are f... IDIOTS (SPIDERWOMEN RANT)

Re: Revenue declined
Honestly, it's about value for the dollar spent and paid to Kabam.
Lately we have been given really bad decisions and choices that do not align with majority their current and long time player base.
Kabam is chasing "new" players while they are chasing off their long-term existing players.
It's not hard to see how this is happening and instead of doing ANYTHING that is PRO-PLAYER, they keep trying new things that majority don't care for or want to deal with.
Majority want the game to work the way it should, be stable, offer some challenges along with casual options and then Kabam would see a bigger income increase.
You heard the phrase "Happy wife equals happy life."? Well, it can be said that "Happy players stay to become payers!" how is that so hard to grasp?
Look at the game Destiny on all their platforms as a direct example how when you start pissing off player base, you lose money and those players. Kabam is allowing history from within the industry to repeat itself.

Re: Where are the Forum Managers?
Combination of a couple things going on here. First thing i the changes to the forums that got pushed out from our forum provider have made us less visible in threads and on the category pages (though Ive been working with them on a fix for this so hopefully will see the return of the colorful icons and orange text soon).
The other thing though is things have been incredibly busy, on top of the normal busy-ness this time of year already brings. Rex especially has still been present in all kinds of threads, but because of the previously stated issue thats harder to spot.
Loyalty
The letdown? It stings like a perfectly timed Bullseye dart. Maybe it’s the grind that feels like running a marathon in quicksand, with new champs like Arcade or Terrax (yep, you’ve tackled their counters too) demanding counters that require a PhD in game mechanics. Or perhaps it’s the monetization that’s gone from “pay to progress” to “pay to maybe not cry.” Events like Enchantress battles (you’ve been there) promise glory but deliver headaches unless you’ve got the exact right champ or a credit card on speed dial. Ten years in, you’d think Kabam would roll out a red carpet—maybe a “Loyalty Hall of Fame” with exclusive rewards for veterans like you—instead of another bundle that costs as much as a car payment.
The sarcasm practically writes itself: “Congrats, champ! A decade of loyalty earns you… a 3-star crystal and our heartfelt thoughts and prayers!” Meanwhile, new players waltz in, snag beginner deals, and pull 6-stars while you’re still praying for a 7-star from a featured crystal that’s statistically stingier than a dragon guarding its hoard. The game’s meta shifts faster than a soap opera plot, leaving your once-mighty roster feeling like a museum exhibit. And don’t get me started on the bugs or server hiccups that make you wonder if the Contest is secretly powered by a hamster on a wheel.
But here’s the thing—you’re not just venting; you want change. So, Kabam, listen up: reward the OGs like this player who’s been with you since smartphones were a novelty. How about a loyalty program that actually means something? Think tiered rewards for years played—exclusive 7-star selectors, unique titles, or even a custom champion designed by the community. Make veteran accounts feel like they’re part of an elite club, not just a cash machine. Streamline the grind—less RNG, more skill-based paths to glory. And maybe, just maybe, fix the communication so we
know what’s coming without needing a crystal ball.
poured a decade of heart, time, and money into Marvel Contest of Champions, and that deserves more than a shrug. Keep fighting, loyalty’s a badge of honor, and it’s high time the game matched passion with some real love
