Re: The Blubberiest Whale in the Ocean
I’m super mad they nerfted SW as well. I’m not going to say the amount I spend but I say I’m a whale. I have 16 R4’s, and I am done spending. Kabam just lot a nice chuck of money from because they nerfed my SW. I spent a lot of money getting her and materials to r4 her. Now she is ****! Her damage out put totally dropped and I want rank materials back!
Re: September dev diary.
They make an effort and pivot, and people are still not happy.
I'm all for bringing forth issues and voicing concerns, but when the company admits fault and makes adjustments, you have to acknowledge that. Otherwise people aren't going to feel appeased no matter what effort they make, and there's no sense in discussing it.
Re: The Blubberiest Whale in the Ocean
I think that the entire community, at present, has a different take on the situation than disagreeing that "water is wet." I hope, for GroundedWisdom's sake, that he is a paid defender on these forums. Otherwise, the devotion is suspect in and of itself. I cannot imagine relentlessly and almost hermetically agreeing with a company that has made this many decisions against the satisfaction and health of its player base, but here we are and here he is. Paid actor, cult member, first-cousin? It doesn't matter to me. The message has been one-note for years. And the message, right now, is failing.
Re: The Blubberiest Whale in the Ocean
And he'll probably still have enough then to buy your house. I think you're missing the point of his entire post and response here if you think this was what it was all about.
Re: The Blubberiest Whale in the Ocean
I have those, too. Again, it's not the point. Congrats on the response, though.
Re: SW nerf still bullsh*t
Yes I do think AAR is a dumb thing to have in this game. But her ensnare was hardly that. We have entire nodes that do this 100x harder and we never complain unless it becomes content that's considered unfair.
Idk about you, but I have zero issues with Spiderwoman on defense. You don't have to have something that negates AAR. Like you said plenty of times, her ensnare can be shrugged, which a lot of skill champs CAN do. You also have a ton of skill champs that lower AAR, and you have champs like okoye and jabari that can also ensnare consistently.
I've also been super vocal, how this isn't entirely about her buff or nerf, it's a culmination of all the bs kabam is TRYING TO PULL. When does it stop? We can go into the fine fine details and come out saying hey this is better than before, but the reality is, it's an unnecessary change to a champ that definitely didn't need to happen before other changes to other champs.
WE LITERALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE EVADE COUNTER. WE CARE THAT WE'RE CHANGING A CHARACTER THAT DIDNT NEED TO BE CHANGED.
If you want to just be a jackass because you disagree with something the vast majority of people had a problem with, then whatever. I can't change your mind on it.
But go ahead and dumb it down for me some more while I have literally no issues with either of your two scenarios because I actually go into fights thinking first.
Re: The Blubberiest Whale in the Ocean
Ah, you were dispatched. Now I know that I'm cooking with gas. For those who don't know you, GroundedWisdom, after all these years of being a paid shill for Kabam, your comments are worthless. Sure, someone at Kabam gets a salary. Where does the money come from? You? Nah. The Vancouver Citizens' Gaming Consortium (VCGC)? Nope. It comes from players like me, and certainly not from the ever-present, ever-defending shills like "GroundedWisdom."
We are all playing a game that is so broken that you can't even click things without the spinning wheel on the bottom right corner. The game crashes regularly. The newly released "good" champs are nerfed based on faulty logic while the most broken defenders ever released are left untouched.
GroundedWisdom, after all of these years, is there not a large enough rock for you to crawl under? I consider your response a privilege. I just haven't figured out if you are the Kabam CEO or the Kabam CEO's middle-school-aged child.
Re: The Blubberiest Whale in the Ocean
I just have a few things to say:-
- To @AngstyAngus , thank you very much for your pass finance support to the game, I'm one of the many the benefited from the. However much you have spent to have the 6th biggest account and highest Prestige, it is clear that you have invested a lot (and a lot more than most) into this game.
- This is just an example of how the players are feeling right now, would Kabam feel the lost from just 1 player stop spending 25k, maybe that much, but @AngstyAngus isn't the only player that lost faith in Kabam.
So may 25k is not worry amount for Kabam, but what if it is 25k x 2, x 3, x 30? Would they worry then, because with the way thing are going it is a really possibility.
Whatever the middle ground is, the lost of excitement on new champs is visible, and so is the reluctant to invest into these champs too. New champs sales have been a good stable source of income for Kabam, so it is quite dangerous when players lots interest in it.
Sure is a good time for Kabam to reevaluate and rebuild trust with the community, stop the arrogant and start listening, these are not just players, they are you customers.
The Blubberiest Whale in the Ocean
You know me. I have the sixth-largest account in the game and the highest Prestige in the world. On average, I have spent more than $25,000/year on this game, and sometimes a lot more. I am privileged to be in this position. I am very mindful of that. It seems to me that you need to be reminded of the fact that you exist because of the players, and not the other way around.
The last time I failed to buy a newly released champion from early release bundles was The Serpent in March 2024. To be sure, I think I spent at least $1,500 trying for him, but no dice. Guess what? You didn't nerf The Serpent. You didn't nerf Onslaught, or Enchantress. But, you nerfed "defensive" Spider-woman. And you made sure to nerf her by also nerfing her offensive kit. You advertise **** logic, and then you even go against that. You could have just removed SW's Ensnare on defense, and despite all of the loud community voices calling for that, you decided to nerf her on offense anyway. Your disingenuous nature continues to be noted.
I have often read and heard it said, "Kabam needs money. They don't need your money." Well, they **** need mine. No matter how good Dracula or Frankendurrdurr are, I am not buying them. What faith would I have, even if they are good, that they would be allowed to be good just a few months later? None.
Kabam, you did this. It's fantastically unfortunate that your processes have led to so many enthusiastic players being so disillusioned with your game. From my perspective, leave SW alone, or at least leave her Ensnare on offense. But that's not going to happen, is it? NO ONE should buy any of your newly released champs. If you do, you could be buying a Lexus that is PLANNED to become a Mercury Cougar.
To anyone that has any comments about my spend or whatnot, you should know that I would have to try a lot harder to care about you. I'm the players' advocate. If you insist on being a poverty shill for Kabam, then have fun with that.
Re: The Blubberiest Whale in the Ocean
I'm higher than all of those guys. I've finished top-6 in Banquet several times. Focus less on the money and more on what is pro-player, pro-fairness, and pro-fun.
