Re: How many revives for...?

In comparison, to the others, 9.4 was fairly easy. Use a total of 4 total lvl 2 revives.

But 9.3 used about 10.

Ordeal Villains: 10.

Ordeal Heroes: 100 (You read it right) + 2K Unit (Ex. Didn't know what the fuked I was doing, dived in without reading the nodes, especially the harder fights) (NOTE: This was the first of the 6 Carina Challenges that I did first)

Abyss Heroes: 5

Abyss Villains: 3 (Wasn't too bad if you had the right champs)

Epoch Heroes and Epoch Villains: about to find out, never having to do the content before, so I'm expecting a unit and revive fest.

The first time fighting him I couldn't get the timing down for his sp1 and when to dash in. So I went with Hyperion. When you knock him down with a special you take off 4 charges. So Hyperion did great with chipping like 8-12 charges off per small revive while I learned the timing. By the 3rd fight it was easy with Quicksilver and his 3 hit mediums.

Just sharing as people rarely talk about the power gain, special knock down option against him.

The AI.

Any champ with multiple mediums (Silk, Domino, QS, Northstar, Tigra etc.)

Re: Ascension Update: It Still SUCKS MAJOR ROCKS

I’m sorry if you felt the response came across as dismissive - that wasn’t the intention, and it most certainly wasn’t said without thought.

I also want to be clear for anyone who did not watch the stream that the response did not include "deal with it" in verbiage or intention. Regardless, the goal was to highlight that even when feedback is strongly negative, especially from the most vocal and engaged parts of the community, any change to a feature of this scale typically cannot be made quickly, or in reaction to immediate responses alone. Not due to stubbornness, and with no lack of acknowledgement of feedback. 7 Star Ascension is a larger and more important feature than most other content released in the game.

7-Star Ascension represents a new approach to introducing a higher rarity level in MCOC.
These kinds of systems are often a bit tough when they first launch, but they tend to become more balanced and accessible over time.

For example, I think we all have more 7 Stars than we know what to do with now, but at launch, that certainly was not the case - and getting the Champion you wanted from the 7 Star pool was also based on RNG, and not every Champion was released as a 7 Star at launch. That has always been the foundation of Champion acquisition for a new Rarity in MCOC. As time goes on, Ascension will likely follow a similar path.

At launch, Ascension Level 2 is the highest power level in the game currently. It's designed to be a new power level to work towards over time, not reach on day 1. If it were easy to get to the top power level within the first two months, the economy would accelerate at such a swift pace that we would need the next Level introduced already.

Ascension Update: It Still SUCKS MAJOR ROCKS

This post will be a bit more of a rant than what I usually try to post. I'm just very frustrated and I hate seeing the game I love be ruined in such a blatantly greedy and money hungry way.

First of all, let's talk about Kabam "addressing" the problems with ascension. All we got was Karate Mike going on stream and saying "Hey, we hear your concerns. But deal with it." I hated that reply so much. It felt so dismissive, so tone deaf, so egregiously thoughtless. Claiming that ascension needs time to settle into the contest is not going to solve the problems with ascension. I one hundred percent believe that the whole point of that response was to make the community quiet down and hope that over time we just get too tired of talking about ascension. It's such an incredibly **** way to treat your playerbase and I'm sorry but that's just the objective truth.

Everyone is telling Kabam ascension sucks. All of their most dedicated players, whales, content creators, all of them have on multiple occasions pointed out the massive flaws of ascension. Yet Kabam refuses to listen. They continue to remain stubborn for no reason. Well, not for no reason, I know why they don't want to address ascension in any meaningful way. Money. They want to milk this feature for every single cent its worth. Even if its comes at the cost of the game being made worse.

The conclusion of act 9 and the carina's challenges really highlighted how awful ascension is. Let's not even address the fact that new champions aren't ascendable unless you spend thousands of dollars for a moment. Let's focus only on the base pool of ascension champs. The pool is trash. There are a handful of characters that some people might actually be excited for, but even if your favorite character is in that pool, good luck trying to actually get them. The chances of you actually getting the character you want is so unbelievably low. Of all the ascension rewards I opened from Carina's and Act 9, I didn't pull a single champ I liked. So now a majority of the ascensions on my account are just unranked seven stars. Cursed to eternally warm the bench.

This isn't even mentioning ascension level 2. Which is just unobtainable if you don't spend money. And not just some money, you need to be spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars for that ****. I don't even want to think about what ascension level 3 through 11 is going to feel like. The only level 2 ascension I have is Maestro, because he was the only one we could earn. Is Lizard level 2? no because apparently I didn't pull him enough during his period. Is Pav, a champs I PAID FOR, level 2? No. Is there a way for me to get these champs to level 2 ascension? NO! There is literally nothing I can do to progress my characters.

Aside from ascension itself, my rank five champions weren't nearly as exciting. You know why because they're not ascended or ascendable champs. I considered ranking fiving a character who I had ascended, but guess what, I couldn't pull any of the champions who I would want to r5. It's just loss after loss after loss with ascension.

Like you don't have to be a genius to understand this. Nor do you need months and years of time to realize that ascension is a vile, greedy and detrimental feature in MCOC.

You're taking away all agency from players, you're making the game just a big string of transactions, you're micromanaging accounts, you're making the game NOT FUN! So just stop being stubborn Kabam and please listen to your community.

I know I'm being very harsh in this post, I usually try to keep my criticism constructive but I just can't. We've all been screaming that ascension sucks and we get nothing. Please everyone continue to speak out. Call out Kabam's BS. Don't just let ascension go on because you got too tired of complaining. Make posts, comments, videos and share your thoughts.
