Actually zero reading comprehension and understanding.
Re: The energy refill change is a lot worse than it looks
Seems like kabam doesn't want us to play their game, I WILL NOT spent units for energy, will enter, auto the dailies and log off, just pathetic decisions after pathetic decisions.

groundedwisdumb your are wrong bro energy nerf is a death sentence for Mcoc
Re: Let’s talk crashed
I feel for Crashed here lol - he's been very brave for a while now to face up to the mob (which I am a part of don't get me wrong) but at the end of the day he is doing his job and despite it not being great for us I blame Kabam at the board level more than him despite his role in orchestrating the methods to meet the demands sent from above.
Long monolog…
However the real issue is that it's clear that the board/CEO of Netmarble has basically told the MCOC team they want to milk the cash cow harder than ever. No other reason for having these sales events every.. other.. flipping.. month now, up from 2-3 times a year.
We've gone from expecting to shell maybe $400 twice a year to get the best prizes in these events (July 4 & Cyber Wkd), to some special sales-tied event/saga every month or two (so possibly 6 or more times a year) at increasing costs in each event to get similar value.
The new prestige mechanism specifically is aiming for the same thing - I can see where they are going and why but... Probably shouldn't have changed it in one month so suddenly. Maybe start at top 10 champs then top 20 next month etc until you reach that 30 mark. Coinciding with new daily quests that cost high energy and a removal of energy refills (to of course encourage buying the energy card) has all come too quickly and at once.
The aim of course with the prestige race now is to make as much a cash cow as the sales events, but also make it a steady income source for Netmarble. Before it was a sporadic earner and only tied to AQ - now it is tied to everything.
Normally prestige was about who could buy the most featured crystals and/or sig stone packs when a given champ is released maybe twice a year and suddenly has the best prestige for no real apparent reason. Now it's not just about that but also ranking up 30 champs and 30 relics that you may or may not have already. It was an abrupt change of direction and should've bene phased in stages vs the abrupt change we saw.
You can say Crashed is doing his job well in one sense, though yes they have missed the mark quite a bit and the bugs keep coming (so that is on whatever team is supposed to fix them). He and other senior employees have been mandated to increase revenue and also prolong and consolidate current streams.
As a player himself though he ultimately knows a lot of it won't and hasn't gone down well so he will come in to take the body shots he's been paid to take.
The problem really lies with those above him, who don't seem to get that the harder you milk a cow the sooner it will run dry. They are betting on getting enough calvs to keep the milk flowing, as other dry up/give up.
Re: Let’s talk crashed
Sometimes I wonder if Kabam even have daily, weekly, monthly reporting to show how much drop off there probably has been in player activity the past month.
I know the forums is not representative of the whole community but I haven’t seen such unity on how bad the state of the game is.
you would think Kabam might have some urgent Monday morning meetings to pivot or else they will lose even more of a player base.
Re: Let’s talk crashed
I cameback and yes it’s pretty horrible
remember all those times they changed the store in game to?
another thing that was immediately changed
this game has been a downward spiral lol the past 1-2 years 🤣🤣🤣
Re: Let’s talk crashed
ok then what do you suggest we do? Just tell him:
“it’s ok, everything is great, you’re all doing a great job here”
Are you happy with the state of the game @JESUSCHRIST ?
Re: Let’s talk crashed
Well you certainly don’t praise the messenger when he brings you 💩 news, do you?
Re: Let’s talk crashed
They tried making road maps before. Half of the things they discussed and said they wanted to implement never occurred or occurred 6 months to a year past thier projected implementation. Remember wish crystals?
Adaptive Difficulty is just Silly
Hold on, but you can never be better because all the events are always equal or better than your champions no matter how powerful your rosters have become 🤦♂️
