Best Of

I don’t care about the content. I care about being lied to, okay fine Mike made a mistake or whoever wrote the script did, we all make mistakes, I don’t appreciate the fact that they had 5 DAYS to inform the player base it would be a selector of 10 champions, NOT the advertised 12.

Stop lying to us and accept the fact you were in the wrong here, and something should be compensated for the false advertisement! As people spent units and revives on content expecting to get Human Torch or Thor Rags, and they were hit with a selector without them. Do better!

It has now been stated multiple times that it was a mistake that was realized at launch time, and communicated immediately after the content was live, along with an apology.

A lie is intentional - we're beating a dead horse here.

We have no plans currently.

This question is asked almost every day on the Forums.
The first announcement of this will almost definitely not be in a stray Forum comment.

You act like you're annoyed that I'm expecting actual information from you

I'm not annoyed, I was telling you there aren't plans to release them yet.

I'm sorry you're frustrated that these Champions aren't in the base pool; it seems like frustration is causing my words to be interpreted in a way that isn't intended.

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but "we aren't releasing them right now" is a plan, and that's currently where things are with these Champions.

I'm not frustrated that they aren't in the base pool. I'm frustrated that the community has no timeline of when/if they will be. I'm sorry I didn't make that clear enough to understand.

If there isn't a timeline it's because there aren't plans. People still complain that stuff from the roadmaps released in 2020 haven't been done even though they said they were just possible goals, they've already said that it's better to not give estimate dates that they won't meet because it means that people will just get mad when they inevitably don't meet them

This is a completely different thing though. It’s not like the champs are not coded in the game. It’s not new content. These champs are already in the game. It’s a question of having a well defined release schedule that people can expect. Say one year from when it came in a special event or crystal, it gets added to basic crystal.

But if there isn't a plan for them to be released what kind of schedule do you want? "In a year we will continue to not release them"

Your argument is based on the idea that the pool has to be released to the basic on a schedule when that's clearly not the plan so I don't understand what information you want beyond "they will stay exclusive until we say otherwise"

Personally… I just want them to see the feedback that this current direction is unsatisfactory, go to the drawing board and come up with a release policy

My theory is this:
Somewhere in Kabam's office they have a bingo setup for each champion. Each bingo cage has 100 balls in it. 99 of them say "no" and the last one says "yes". Once a month they go to each of the bingo cages and pull out a ball. When the "yes" ball for that champ finally comes out, they will be released.

Who leaked this??

Can you address the main question in the post? Or at least say "I can't speak on this" or "we have no plans currently". It's a little frustrating when you comment on a post and ignore the big question completely. Red guardian and nick fury are two of my favorite champs, I have no idea if I will ever get to use them in current day high end content ever again... its disheartening.

I really disliked Relics when they came out. I disliked how Kabam was trying to force them on us, I disliked how it felt like relic materials/resources were either replacing other rewards or that we were forced to choose between Relic mats or Champion mats.

Relics were also super limited. For something that was being forced on us there was a really weird gatekeeping vibe about Relics that just, seemed awkward. It felt like Kabam both wanted to force them down our throats but also not give us any effective way to get them.

Now most players are at a point where we're excited for new relics. Not because there's been a complete 180 on the above points, but because their relative value has risen* due to the fact that nothing has been done with them. Competitive players are forced to bind and unbind relics constantly and it's such a pain - let's not overlook the fact that binding and unbinding was initially supposed to cost us units.

Everything about the Relics was (and kind of still is) just... not good. Now, they have grown on me, kind of, but mostly because they were put on pause, no longer shoved down our throats and acquisition has seemed natural as a result. I still fall behind when it comes to ranking them because it feels too expensive to prioritize relics over champions. Not to mention, the hiatus kind of added a sort of "Is there a point?" to the whole situation. We couldn't even rank them beyond a certain point.

Now an announcement has been made about new Relics coming. Which is actually kind of great, except there's been allusion to the fact that these different types of relics will potentially come with completely different resources and crystals.

Has there not been commentary about the goal moving forward to de-clutter things?

We don't even have a way to r4 our 6* Striker relics. There's supposed to be five ranks. The thought of a completely separate set of crystals and resources of rank materials for the Stat Cast relics is already exhausting. We are theoretically looking at: shards for Premium Crystals, 3-7* champion crystals, 3-6* Strikers, , Iso, Embers, Alloys, Catalysts from T1-7 Basic, T1-6 Cass and T1-4 Alpha, then shards and resources for whatever the range for Stat cast would be??

Are these going to be as gate-kept as the original ones were? Are we now looking at having to choose between spending resources on materials/crystals for Strikers, Champions, Stat Cast, etc?? Are we looking at Stat Cast materials replacing other things in quest rewards? I already have a hard enough time trying to keep track of everything I need to rank the relics we have.

Please, please, please for the love of Odin and everything else just have Stat Cast relics and Strikers use the same rank materials and acquisition methods.
