Best Of

Despite agreeing with what you said, Crashed acknowledged he had the Bullseye doing things this way. I would hope anyone with any common sense would realize he's not the one making these decisions. Does he mostly like have some influence, sure. Personally, I have a lot of respect for Crashed putting himself out there knowing it's going to be a s**tstorm

this is f'king stupid mate

wtf is this game company

Seriously. I don’t think we all need a “dev diary” to explain what is going on and what they intend to do about it. I have the solution. Take just about everything you did for this month/update, and undo it.

They intentionally nerf energy refills, create chaos for players, and now act shocked while trying to ‘fix’ the mess they made? Wonderful

The energy part, in my opinion, is not acceptable. Many games go down this route, but I will not spend money on something required to play the game. I just play the game less and spend less time on the game, spending less time on the game means I fall further behind (I am ok with this), and falling further behind means I have less desire to spend as the return is not as good.

There have been other questionable decisions lately as well, but, for me, the energy one seems like pure greed way more than the revive situation did. The revive situation needed to be fixed and I am fine spending on revives if I suck (which I do).

Well said Mando

Maybe Kabam doesn't have enough Prestige with the server provider.

I actually Kabam might be migrating the game either to a new server or some king of big foundations up, maybe this AI 2.0.

As the game stability have been horrendous over the last few months, got to be something big going on behind the scene.

I’m going to copy my thoughts I posted on one of Vega’s posts:

My opinion on the whole energy situation is MCOC 2025 is vastly different than MCOC 2014. Back then in MCOC 2014 it made sense to “monetize” energy and have people spend on energy refills. You could either take your time to complete content or spend to fast track it, which I thought was reasonable. There wasn’t really anything to spend energy on back in the day, as there were daily quests for catalysts and story content. Jump forward to MCOC 2025 and there’s just so much content. So much that we might not need to do but feel compelled to do so we don’t fall behind. Daily quests, solo raids, battlegrounds, EQ, side quests including Everest, AW Showcase, etc. That’s not even including non-“normal” energy modes such as AQ, AW, and arenas. It’s very clear they want us to be in game 24/7 to keep engagement and spending up. So let us have our energy refills topped up and in overflow to let us do what we want. IMO energy cost should not be a barrier of entry in MCOC 2025. Kabam should allow us to have energy refills in overflow so that we can stay engaged with the game. If Kabam really does screw up this energy thing and I’m short on energy to do BGs or EQ, that will honestly kill any remaining motivation I have to play this game.

tl;dr: 2025 MCOC should not have an energy barrier. I have a feeling they are going to kill this game by requiring people to spend units on energy. There’s no reason to require spending when they’re already monetizing the hell out of everything else. I, for one, will stop playing the game.

My only issue is I don't see any reason for energy to exist at all, except for creating yet another way to monetize playing the game. I do spend pretty frequently, but I want to spend money to get something I want, not to buy the privilege of being allowed to play the game. I can't re-arrange my work schedule and sleep schedule around MCOC, does Kabam want me to play the game or not? Make up your minds.

This guy is hilarious, he has a problem of making 1 person responsible for all the issues; but he is perfectly fine when saying things like Whales cheat and they don't get punished the same because they spend a lot...
