UNits arent easy to come by

1. They kind of are, for people who play the game regularly. First of all, here are all the units in the game, more or less: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/385738/how-to-get-units-in-mcoc-in-2025-its-like-2024-but-with-fewer-typos

Summary: you can get almost 9k units a year for doing almost nothing. You can get over 70k units a year for playing the game moderately. An F2P player can get almost 80k units per year spending less time playing than the average person spends watching TV.

2. You're complaining about the highest reward in that particular event. A reward that will eventually be in the regular crystals for everyone to get. And you expect to get that reward with an amount of units most active players in the game accumulate in a month or two.

It isn't Kabam that is greedy, it is you that is greedy. You expect to get everything for nothing. You play this game completely for free. Games don't fall from trees, they cost money to make and money to operate. And yet you can play the entire game completely for free. But that's not enough. You have to have all of the rewards immediately or else the game operator is "greedy." Greedy because they make one thing require spending or just a reasonable amount of activity. Something even F2P players could get if they wanted to, so it isn't even paywalled.

F2P players can get that thing immediately if they are active enough, and spenders can get it immediately if they want to spend for it, and everyone else will ultimately get it regardless eventually. And *this* is your example of how greedy the company is? This is the lightest form of monetization that exists in the world. Most people wish car manufacturers were as greedy as Kabam is.

It is true not everyone can spend, and not everyone can grind, even the ludicrously small amounts required to get thousands of units. However, for people unable to spend any money and any time, they can still actually play the game and actually get a ton of stuff completely for free. They get a lot of stuff from even the greediest events, just not everything, and they even get practically everything eventually. To me, if that's not enough for someone unwilling or unable to spend and unwilling or unable to grind for even a moment, their expectations are fantastically unrealistic.

Not much time left for unit grinding after reading through your movie scripts. goddamn!

IIKILLMEII got his rewards, and he had to finish off the boss. So good thing he listened to directions. Fastest run yet.



Hacks were decent.


And hacks from a random global carry last night that were good .

See you tomorrow @ST4RL0RD08 (though your name isn't appearing in game)

There’s a lot of pros to this change. 10 people will have to fight and each take a challenging fight. I love that.

I assume each war fight will be similar to an eternity of pain fight. You will no longer be able to just nuke a few fights with a sp1 boost. This is a change for the better.

I also hope you will remove all the war bans with this change. Let us use whoever we deem fit as the best option to fight each specific encounter.

Lastly this is a massive plus for every officer that has to plan. Most alliances can’t even be competitive because there aren’t many people willing to donate hours of time to plan an alliance war. This is a quality of life change.

Kudos Kabam this can be an awesome change. The old war was just stale.

You made a few comments all saying stuff that doesnt make sense. You keep repeating war sucks this is good bla bla. Conclusion: you don't like alliance war as a game mode and appreciate this "thing" as a change to regular war BECAUSE this is NOT war. This is just raids. And again this is precisely why kabam is missing the mark by a lot here. Turning alliance war into alliance raids is not how you make people enjoy alliance war. This is just cancelling the game mode as a whole. And while there may be people who dont care for aw at all, there are some who play this game because aw exists. And thats how these people (me included) will feel like kabam doesnt care for us. Like we said again and again run this thing as a separate test or something. Alliances who invest time and resources into alliance war are getting royally screwed by this mess. We wanna compete and save the multiplier? We need to invest a bunch of resources into this "thing" for just the one season and then next season when we go back to normal it's all gone to waste. We wanna skip next season cause it's absolutely horrible and it kills the purpose of playing aw because its not aw? Great we may very well lose the multiplier and by season 59 we'll be greeted with tier 2 multiplier so we are screwed 2 seasons in a row!!! Awesome thinking!!! The best of the best. Why cant kabam understand that "let's give it a go" has a huge impact on alliances who actually care for aw? Alliances who dont care will think it's much better until they realize what it means to face top 10 defenders on steroids every war for 12 wars. Thats the worst aspect to this. The repetitive chore of doing same stuff all the time. People who fail to foresee this will eventually realize the issue. On top of others we already mentioned.

Therefore kabam if you want to bring back people to alliance war as a game mode you need to rethink you strategy. As long as aw will be this expensive to play and as long as decent rewards will only be for tier 1 players (who are the top 1% (?) of the community) it's always gonna make people from lower tiers give up on the mode and lose the will to make an effort. Make boosts and potion availability better and make them less expensive. You think the game mode is too complex? Create tools for officers to assist them in planning! If a person has the knowledge but no the time it takes to plan, this is the pain point that should be addressed. Make it less time consuming by assisting officers in their planning phase. And lastly, make rewards more relevant even in lower tiers. If they see it's worth the commitment and it's not as expensive and time consuming, people will be more engaged. I've read comments on this post from people who say they love the change because aw was stale and it was same nodes bla bla. These people don't even play aw!!! War map changes 2 seasons ago and I recall around 45 nodes are completely or partially new. Theres only a bunch of nodes who stayed the exact same as before. War map is all new and we loved the change. Surely there are a few pain points when it comes to certain defenders on certain nodes not having a real counter. We could address that to make things better. But overall the change was so welcome and positive. Whoever says aw is stale is people who havent been playing for long because aw had just gotten revamped with a new war map and new challenges for officers and players. When they say they like this "thing" which is basically raids it's because they dont like aw. Which brings us back to the point: do you think you will bring people back to aw by turning it into something else? You may as well just cancel the game mode and say goodbye to the players who are playing the game for that. Cause lets be real: nobody is playing the game cause they love aq, raids, arena... Dont make me even mention eq. Most of the people I've been playing with dont even bother with that. Whats left? Story mode? You get a chapter every few months. So what's left then? Bg and aw. This is whats making the game move forwards. People who want to strengthen their rosters for the challenge of competing with each others. Cancel aw and you're left with just bgs. And yeah some people love bgs a lot but some others dont. Bgs can be fun but the rng aspect to them and the little room for planning and adjusting is what makes me less engaged than with aw. If I just dont pull a counter for a champ, I'm losing a round. And that can cost me the match. Ggs. I know whats a good counter, I have it in my deck. I dont pull him. And its a loss. Ggs. Alliance war is way more fun cause first of all its a team effort. I may suck at facing a certain champ, but a teammate is really good at that. So he can take that fight and I can do something else that maybe I'm better than him for. Also the strategy aspect. You have every option in the book available, except for what is banned. The only limit is the availability in the rosters, but you've got 10 rosters at your disposal. While some of the players may not have the right champ, someone definitely will. And so on and so forth there are so many reasons why I love aw way more than bgs. I wouldnt care for the game if it was only aq and bgs, as simple as that. Everything else is just farming resources for me. To compete. Why cant kabam realize some of us actually care? And even just the one season will have repercussions for us. It will affect all of us negatively both if we compete and if we dont.

With only 5 heroes in the crystal, bad luck will be far more punishing and good luck will be less beneficial.

I'm just going to point to this one comment as representative of my general feelings here.

Fewer champs in the crystal means bad luck gets worse and good luck also gets worse.

Why are some people angry at the stream? The fact that people are willing to assert stuff like this with confidence is a huge part of the reason why.

Ppl dont know maths and that word was diliberate 20% is better than 16.67% thats just math

This is objectively false. DNA 3000's whole 'mathier than though' attitude really falls flat when he proves he can't solve a basic word problem. Taking a logic class a long side of your math courses works wonders. For example, it can help DNA avoid making a strawman argument, and it can help you not make abductive reasoning errors. You guys making all these logical fallacies, while asserting you're good at math is pretty hilarious, but you're embarrassing yourselves... so let's get the thread back to material arguments please. Thank you.
