Help Me...Help You

Look, I completely understand that Kabam is a business. They are not developing new content as a public service, and that if they stop making money our beloved game goes away. However, I am honestly confused about their recent development plan. I am a low to moderate spender (sigil, double track, unit deals, etc). I would think that I represent a big portion of players. If you take the moderate amount that I spend and multiple it by several thousand engaged players that really adds up. Everyone focuses on the whales, but there are not a enough whales to completely support the game. I am much more willing to spend money, buy offers, buy units WHEN I AM HAVING FUN. I feel that over the past year or so Kabam has developed a parent/toddler relationship with the players. You need to eat your broccoli and go to bed early because we know better and its good for you. In business if you serve your customers well, you will make money. Why do they continue to make moves that the players do not want? The game is so complex already I am sure you have heard "it feels like a second job" from a lot of people. People will grind the game when it is fun and they are working towards something. Kabam, please redirect your focus on player friendly decisions. Not every side quest, event quest needs to be overly difficult. Instead of restricting our energy, give us more, encourage us to use your product. If you make the game more player friendly, if you make the game MORE FUN, people will give you their money. Just as you do not owe us anything, we do not owe you our hard earned money. If you expect us to pay you for digital content that we do not own, then you need to provide us with a FUN, engaging product.

Re: The energy refill change is a lot worse than it looks

Idk what's happening with kabam. But TBH it was better when Kabam Jax and Mike was community manager. I don't wanna say this I felt wierd changes happening in mcoc after Dave and Kartemike joined kabam as community manager also response got delayed as well on major issues...

I really don't know who is taking these decisions. But I said what I felt. It seems like kabam only thinking about 1% player based that's it..

Here are some key points felt gone wrong since couple of months

Adaptive EQ is worst
They started limit the champion base for quests WOF and 9.3. it was not there from 7.1 to 9.2 so why now..I can get it for end game content.
Now this energy refills changes which is major IMO. Even they are talking about to removing it from 4hr crystal that means you have to buy it you need and want to complete content faster.
Now SQ difficulty also increased in comparison to previous but reward is mid.
No buffs for incursion and loyalty store since so long.

Here is some good points which happened

Daily Quest change is so good
Introducing radiance currency because of that BG got its worth.
Raid month was good. IMO it should be parmanent…less time consuming

TBH I used to be crazy about this game 4-5 months ago. But now I am losing interest of this game or may be I will leave this game forever and take my life back.

Thanks

Try your hand at some arena. No energy cost… yet.

Re: Let’s talk crashed

Energy is a unit metric, lots of games have this mechanic…none has ever thought removing it would be the answer.

Communication, we need more of it, but seeing some reactions, I can appreciate why the mods stay away.

Monetization, well, we can see it going in that direction with so many sales, but I think even whales who spend on sales are going to be annoyed spending on little things like energy.

Crash taking the hit, its corporate politics….he has to say yes to the boss because, he needs his job, he likes his job…

We can blame everyone linked to the game, praise past mods for their vision, hate how corporate has taken over…or

We limit our playtime and enjoy life, not take this so seriously anymore…breath and catch our breath…or be more interested in the drama and want to just be pissed off like the rest of the world…

10 plus years in, I'm at a point where I just don't care too much, I play for fun, I don't spend anymore, I don't need that "new" champ as badly as everyone else because the state of the game renders it useless.

This game is on the same track as many others, at some point First Fight, Marvel Rivals or something else will take over my interests…the money I've spent (and not a small amount), well lets say it was for my hobby, like snowboarding trips or scuba diving in Bali…its gone.

They will take the energy now, next will be units in Arenas…whats afetr that…who knows…

Guys, catch your breath, for those of you that work in the real world, these guys are doing their jobs to maintain their livelihood, whether their decisions are good or not…doesn't matter…their humans trying to pay bills. Vitriol and Anger and Mob mentality… just dumb.

It ain't that serious….its a mobile game and even after 10 years…it hurts but it is what it is.

Go hug a loved one….

Peace

With all due respect, I see more dedication from Netmarble in Marvel Future Fight.

They are killing the game (intentionally?)

I have played this game for over 7 years and now I have a feeling that they are intentionally killing the game by eliminating the fun from the game. I don't know who in their right mind would make the game so hard and so time consuming to play, I mean it's a game and games are meant to be fun not depression. Let me point out some major issues.

-Little to no energy refills from now.
-Ai is so messed up it's like MSD is playing against you.
-Almost everything is paid now
-Increased the required units for banquet, cyber weekend, July 4th etc.
-You need to spend $500 - $1000 every other month just to be competitive
-Game difficulty is going up like a rocket with 6+ nodes in every content.
-You need a new champ? spend $1000 or wait for the titan update to get 5 red hulks.
-Fun is replaced by stress
-How can we play all the quests if we don't get energy?

Who in their right mind would make the game so bad and not fun to play. So many people have invested thousands of dollars years of time in this game and they are sadly quitting. It's so bad I can't say anything more... At least keep the energy refills are they were before so people can actually play the game.,.. what is this nonsense that we are giving you 2 refills but we are removing elders marks.. like seriously? We don't play quests with elders marks we play it with energy for god's sake.

Last thing.. 9.3 rewards are almost the same as 9.2... wow

What the actual F am I supposed to do here??

I liked the monthly EQ they royally fudged that up.
I liked the chill SQs they turned the difficulty upto a 100 and now its not even enjoyable.
I thought the only place I could chill n play would be BGs then, NO , HOW DARE I THINK THEY WOULDN'T F*CK UP EVERY SINGLE MODE?

I'm GENUINELY crashing out right now, first the exorbitant energy costs for the daily events , decrease in the number for free energy refills and now they're increasing energy consumption as a whole, jesus f*ckin christ man, can i just play my goddam game in peace and not have you people trying to fix what's not broken??
In the span of a month the devs have managed to make EVERY SINGLE WRONG DECISION they could have made, I dont want to see this game die , I love it , but kabam is literally trying making this so tedious to play the game its ridiculous, everything has been on a downward spiral since this patch dropped, half a step in the right direction is immediately followed up by a marathon in the wrong one, is it that hard for the devs of a decade long running game to gather genuine feedback from the community and implement the changes they request??

Re: Let’s talk crashed

it’s been a long time coming and not all of it is tied to the latest changes — but it’s the straw that broke camel’s back

With the frequent sales and game modes, it definitely feels cash grabby. It makes sense to charge for champs, but now it feels like we need to pay to use the champs we have.. and that feels a bit much.

Elder marks used to give a boost for solo rewards points and cost units — fair; once solo rewards were removed, its days were numbered.

Raids are another thing that bother me — I get that you can buy tokens with “free” currency, but you’re also selling entry for $30. It isn’t exactly game breaking rewards; all fine.. but why make it impossible to one shot bosses? I understand paying for revives if you slip up, but paying to enter and paying more to finish something that’s around for a couple days? You realize entire games cost less than $30?

P.S. to the Kabam knights telling me to go play that game, I’m already on my way out before these changes, so it doesn’t really matter to me if any of these ideas make a difference or not. But I do hope they are at least considered, the surveys are inadequate to capture this information, and I’m leaving the game due to obligations outside the game, I still love the game and want it to succeed — it has gotten me through a few difficult spots in my life and I’ll always be grateful.
