What are you on about when the radiance and BG store are updated?

They advise in advance that a store is being updated. People can choose to hold or not to hold. And due to caps on those currencies, people can't hold indefinitely.

Compensation for Raids almost always comes in the form of revives. If they drop a package, it's for pain and suffering. It isn't a 30 minute "lucky" or "unlucky" window that doesn't have the safeguard of an entire week and an entire battle group to help get through a raid. You're drawing really odd parallels.

We aren't expecting AAA performance. We're expecting them not to continuously make the same mistakes over and over again and then be inconsistent about how they resolve them.

Only a few months ago we had the Zola titan screw up and they posted in the Zola comp announcement they didn't want to award the "lucky few", yet this is exactly what they've done here.

The issue is that this is on the back of them trying to give all the warm and fuzzies before Cyber saying we will be better, we will do better and then it's the same again. At this point we collectively are the fools… fool me once etc etc.

And I have no idea what your TLDR is supposed mean about skill issues. You think it takes skill to open crystals early? You mean people need to stop being overly comped to address skill vs roster gap? I think what people find "unfair" is the idea that those that do the "right thing" i.e. wait for fixes etc, almost always lose out.

I don’t know how I feel about the huge inequity the compensation will bring but I’m more worried about the fact that despite the car crashes of the the last couple of months Kabam seem completely incapable of running their own game properly. Its an absolute dogs breakfast of a QA set up they’ve got going on.

Just be consistent Kabam, is it really that hard??

Yes and I will keep repeating this in every discussion where a casual makes a moronic comment from a casual perspective pov indeed instead of trying to understand and accepting that some people are bothered by it and have a right to be bothered by it.

You do realize some people had over 500k shards right? This turns 34 crystals into 68. Again, you are a casual so of course you couldn’t care less, you’re fine with being at the bottom but you gotta understand some of us aren’t. This solution is only going to incentivize people to do the complete opposite and pop crystals uncontrollably the next time they make a mistake like this.

Thanks buddy, not sure but definitely years

What seatin did is what we call a light-hearted humor.

What this post did is judge extremely wealthy people for spending their own money.

Know the difference.

One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of Mystic champs from the last year or so have power steal as a very important part of their kit - Pavitr, Spiral, Shathra - and Hulkling is immune to that. It won't make any of them into potatoes against him, but none of them will be able to utilize their full power against him either. Nico will probably still smoke him (I haven't tested it out, but I would imagine so anyway), but I'm not sure if there are a lot of Mystic attackers that have been tuned towards him in recent years. Which makes sense, since he hasn't been available as a top-tier defender anywhere competitively. However, I think that might make him quite viable as a defender again. It's not like with Nick Fury where Kabam spent a good part of the "He's not available as a 7*" period seeding the game with a whole slew of new counters to him.

But at the same time, they haven't exactly released a bunch of Tech defenders where I've thought, "Oh, I wish I had Hulkling here" either. He'll still be a very good champ, like he always was, but he isn't the most dominant key to as many fights as he was when he was first released.

So to sum it up, I think he might land in a pretty healthy spot.

People spending $200k on the game have enough money to buy multiple houses.

What the youtubers should really be focusing on is the mid-whales, those dudes who are dropping a few thousand dollars that they really can't afford.

Otherwise, what's the point of judging how wealthy people spend their money? They have the money to enjoy experiences, whether it's MCOC, travel, fine dining, or whatever…

You’re not bothered because you’re a casual, for anyone who’s even slightly competitive in BGs it’s a big deal. Especially those that opened over 10 Titans today, I for one could really use dupes on Nico and Karolina and as many sigs as possible on Maker Jean and Zemo. I wish you would for once look at the bigger picture instead of just sucking them off, there’s a time and place I’ve done it myself, but not this time

Coming from someone who did not hoard so many basic crystal, this is not a fair and balanced compensation. People like Seatin have the rights to be gutted because if he had opened his basic crystals during the bugged window he would've had 60 basic crystals instead of 30 (this is an example, I don't know how many basics he hoarded) but I know he hoarded a lot. That's a huge amount of sigs on champions that he missed out on, so I understand why he's disappointed. What would've been better in my opinion is to give a window of 5 days for example to receive the compensation, like what happened with Zola and the titan crystal. That way everyone who have crystals can take advantage of the compensation when they deserve to. Seatin wanted to be nice and that's why he didn't open his crystals when the crystal was bugged. But know the compensation sends him and everyone else who didn't open their crystals to take advantage of bugged crystals. My point is the compensation sends the message to exploit bugs to be compensated later, which is something I don't think Kabam wants and that's why in my opinion the compensation needs to be rethinked for everyone. Give us a deadline, so that everybody can be fairly compensated.
