This much outrage on simply a gamemode that you can easily ignore is crazy,
It also gives good rewards for minimal effort so won't advice to ignore.

you completely missed the point or chose to ignore it. it’s not just ‘something you can easily ignore’ — they purposely stuffed it with great rewards so we can’t ignore it. that’s the issue. it’s low-effort, off-brand content shoved into the game with insane rewards to force engagement, not because it’s fun or good.

acting like that’s fine is how we keep getting more of this lazy design.

“We can’t ignore it”?.
I have since last Wednesday when it was released,..did one run of it for 15-20 minutes and I haven’t been back since,.,and I won’t for the remaining tine it’s available.
I don’t think the rewards make it worth playing the mode,.,(it’s that bad),.,so i don’t.
…see?,.., it’s easy.

the simplest logic is often the answer. The “new mode” opens to an external browser and the Fantastic Four movie is coming out. That kinda tells me someone from an office many floors higher than the game team made them put this in. most likely for data collection, to test a new game they’re gonna launch, and/or promotion for the movie. some mix of those three things. if i had to guess someone had this made and they wanted it thrown in in time for the movie.

i think our guys knew everybody would hate this. why ? Think about it Kabam will sell you everything under the sun, but for this they gave away a FULL titan AND units? just to play this slog ? $10 pretty much gets you through the entire thing. One thing i’ve realized about this company is if they can sell something, they will. but they went ultra light on the monetization and threw in a full titan. Meanwhile in game they’re selling 150 titan shards for what ? 150 units i think.. (math check)

the external browser is another piece of evidence that tells you somebody else made this mode and decision. if not why not just add it in with the rest of the stuff? the launcher is in a tiny little box under the SDE. no big tab under the Fight screen.. if i wasn’t watching Vega’s stream when it dropped i would have had no idea where to find it. just a little tab, an external browser and a free titan. that’s not the Kabam/MCOC we know.

I’m open to the idea that this is just a miss and i’m trying to make sense out of it nonsense. but this doesn’t follow their usual steps to horrible decisions.

Before everybody jumps down my throat, i don’t care about Kabam. I play the game for fun. I spent modestly. i haven’t touched the mode after the first day because.. i just don’t want to 🤷🏾‍♂️ i think that covers all the usual talking points so let’s have a good conversation.


TLDR; The big bosses made this mode happen, our guys knew we would hate it and gave out some pre-compensation in the form of a Titan and Units.

okay, you proudly missed the point, downplayed the problem, and acted like disengaging makes you wise, when in reality, it just makes you irrelevant to the discussion. here’s why:

i’m pointing out that kabam jammed valuable, top-tier rewards into garbage content specifically to force players — especially competitive ones — into engaging with it, whether they like it or not. It’s not about skipping it, it’s about how this tactic degrades the game design and sets a horrible precedent.

kabam’s entire goal with this kind of content is to test how little effort they can put in and still get engagement by attaching bait-tier rewards. players like you ignoring it does nothing if thousands more cave and buy arcade tickets.

You're not competitive to begin with, if you were you wouldn't whine about people having bigger decks than yours in BGs 🤡

As for all the whining, if you don't like it don't do it, miss out on the rewards nobody's forcing you to do anything you don't want to do lol.

you’re the same guy who said 'i don’t care if the content is trash, just make it easy and give me rewards' — so yeah, we’re clearly not expecting thoughtful takes from you. some of us actually care about the game staying good.

If it's a monthly quest yes I don't care cause monthly quests have been trash for years regardless. At least the rewards finally improved since they clearly can't keep monthly side quests interesting without making them repetitive and grindy. Also before you take this out of context again, I don't think Doom Cycle is trash I like mini games in general, what I didn't like was how grindy it was.

All endgame content done and you're struggling in Arcane? Like I said, you're not competitive to begin with stop pretending you are lmfao.

you keep obsessing over whether i’m competitive like i specifically even said i was — i never claimed to be. i’m pointing out a design flaw that affects everyone who plays this game seriously. if your only filter for feedback is ‘you not competitive bruh lmfao bruh,’ maybe you’re not actually equipped with the mental aptitude to have this conversation.

I don't know bout the beef between you guys but if he went to arcane then I'll say he's quite competitive lol. That's like top 5000 bg players, or top 5% Valiants if we assume no of active valiant accounts is around 100k.

No one is forced to do it.

you're not forced to brush your teeth either, but there are consequences if you don't

Consequences to missing a couple 7*s, some 2* Doombots, a few Units, and a Titan? I'd be curious to know what they are.
