I think it's fair to say that the rollout of Essentia has been a mess at best, I certainly haven't implied otherwise.

There's unfortunately no way to get a redo on it, so the best that can be done is look at the issues holistically and make adjustments so everything sits in a better state, which is what was done over the first few days of release.

I want to be clear about something here -
I'm not saying to stop giving us a hard time, I have no issues there whatsoever.

What I'm saying there's a difference here between "Kabam is intentionally trying to screw us, nobody has our interests in mind" and "hey, I don't think this is a good thing because of XYZ." The latter allows me to help you much better than the former, which is what I want to do. The designer of Essentia is actively trying to improve the player experience with a more powerful store where everything is centralized and less messy.

I'm confident that Essentia will ultimately be more valuable for players once everything is in place, and the fact that everything wasn't in place at launch was a major miss on our part. Things were missed, that's the reality of what went on here, which is unacceptable and creates a poor product - there's no sugar coating that - so adjustments are being made to make the roll out stronger, and make the transition into Essentia make more sense for everybody.

Re: So Nonspenders are being Punished for not buying Pavitr in the Plat Track?

I kinda don't agree with this statement. I wouldn't call it being punished. You just don't get the ascension period. Its a perk of spending the same as early access to any paid champ you had to wait for a year to join regular crystals.

People need to stop over victimizing themselves.

Its a shame that...

The Ascension Model came out the way that it did. I don't think that many players are happy with an RNG/expensive Rank up system where we have little agency other than throwing thousands of units hoping to be able to ascend our champ of choice. This is so different from how rank ups have worked over the life of this game. Its a shame because ascension is such a huge part of the future of this game and Kabam fumbled it so badly. This "own goal" seems worse when you consider the fact that this month they proved they know how to make a fun, engaging game that players want to come back to. For example...

Upgraded Saga Incursions - took away an outdated model and improved rewards for a more enjoyable experience...W

Womens Side Quest - easy, simple, not grindy, useful rewards...W

AW Showcase - not new, but interesting and useful rewards...W

Magik Side Quest - ability to earn 60k radiance worth of tokens for FTP...W

Carina's Challenges - tough but approachable, very relevant rewards, designed cut off at the 4 and 6 milestone mark for rewards...W

Elder Title...new goal to aim and strive for, a "why" to keep grinding...W

Essentia...ok so the rollout was a dumpster fire, but it does honestly seem that Kabam realized it and is trying to make it right, I think its moving in the right direction and I like the idea of a single currency...lowercase w LOL

Kabam has these spurts where I am reminded of why this game can be so great. I just don't understand why there is so much inconsistency month to month. Kabam please focus on making a great game first...people will spend money when they are having fun. I cannot believe that a single Kabam employee looks forward to dropping thousands of units/dollars on grace crystals for a 1 in 30 chance to ascend the champ they want to. It's just not a good system. It's so imporant to get this right. You have proven you can make a truly great game at times. If you get acsension right, the future of this game can be so bright!

Re: Is anyone using Lumatrix?

Mines r4, im loving him

Is he god tier or beyond god tier
Id say "God Tier" damage, and some decent utility. But he is kinda a one trick pony, in terms of play style so far, imo. Lacks the further utility id expect from a "beyond god tier," status. Honestly given the chance to take my r4 gem back, I'd probably go with Hit Monkey instead. But he was my first r4 and i had been told it's a exceptional leap in damage between r3 and r4 champs, im just not seeing it with him

Sounds a lot like Isophyne.
