Re: Let’s talk crashed
I appreciate you @Kabam Crashed for showing up on this thread and responding. It takes courage to step into the fire like this when things aren’t going well and fingers are getting pointed in your direction.
What I find frustrating in all this is the lack of communication of the overall vision you guys wanted to bring in. When the change was made to the alliance events and people spoke about the missing energy refills, what I saw a few times from the Kabam folks here was “Oh, we moved some of those rewards to the daily quests…” which is different from “we’re changing how we’re doing energy refills because…” It took weeks to hear the real story that we got this weekend.
For the adaptive EQ, this has been said before so I’ll keep it short, we gave feedback on the earlier iterations and what we got was a huge step away from that. Once we see the message “We heard you, we’ll fix it and tune it down…” same thing happens with the SQ a few days later, the tunings are close to the adaptive EQ that caused the community to react. This just feels tone deaf to me to large extent. That is what is fueling a lot my frustration personally.
Another point re:adaptive EQ, is the slyness in the communication of the difficulty in the last live stream. There was nothing in the live stream to give us any idea of the tuning and to give us any idea things were going to show up as hard and overtuned as it came out. I remember seeing the person talking about Elder difficulty having a weird look when mentioning the ramping up of the difficulty and that had raised a red flag for me.
These kinds of gaps break the trust with the people in the community and that gets very difficult to repair at one point. It seriously makes me wonder at times who tries these out internally and thinks this is ok versus what we are had in the past (even just the month prior to that).

Re: Let’s talk crashed
I’m with you, I agree with that stance and I think the same exact thing, I don’t like the gatekeeping either. I’m not sure how much I would agree with whatever explanation they will put out there for us either.
To be clear, I am not defending Kabam on this and I’m very frustrated too with what is happening. For me though, the trust I had with them is broken so they can do whatever they want at this point and if it does not suit me, I’ll just move along at this point.
Re: Let’s talk crashed

Re: Let’s talk crashed
Probably the best summation of things that have been going wrong recently. It feels like every facet of the game has some thing that is not up to standard, as evidenced by the several compensation packages we have coming.
I have played this game on and off since 2017. I love this game, on multiple levels, and am so happy it is still finding success. I have seen the whole rollercoaster of past wins and past failures. I recently have gotten back into the game (less than a year), and am in the endgame more so than I have been in past years. So when I say that this time seems different, it looks bad. There are so many compounding issues, and I understand that there have been lots of fires to put out, as Crashed said in a different thread. But this is beginning to run off the rails.
I haven’t seen this many varied negative threads about wide swaths of issues in the game. I don’t know how to fix it, as I am not a game developer, but I know that delivering positive results to the community is how to fix this. And it’s going to take a while. People are supremely burnt out after the repeated bugs, difficulty spikes with minimal reward increase, and game crashing.
It starts with the communication, as y’all have started here, but next needs to come some kind of action. It can start with the compensation, but I think even that is only going to calm people down minimally, the game needs to function and be fun. However, the game is struggling to do both of these things. I really hope some kind of solution is reached soon.
I appreciate y’all weighing in on this thread @Kabam Crashed and @Kabam (Osaurus) Rex
Re: Have the latest energy changes negatively affected your gameplay?
Kabam thinks by forcing players to wait hours upon hours for energy replenishment will tune the engagement up 🤣
Re: I teach Computer Science, I’m working on my Doctorare, Kabam, it’s time, you must do this:
Please don't generalise the entire forum based on that one nature's mistake. Most here are chill.
Re: Will we get comp for how much the game has gone down
Why? You'd get 5x as much for a week of wrongful ban.

I honestly think it might be time for them to hang up the boots bro 😂
