Re: Message to Kabam from Spider Woman....
You have a point. Why should they nerf a miniboss, where if you dont have 5 out of 300 champions to fight against him every day, multiple times per day, you just die.
Be so fr rn
Re: Leader and Patriot
Leader’s really not as bad as people make him out to be. Needs a buff for his damage but he’s still a solid choice. I don’t have Count Nefaria so I can’t exactly confirm my feelings myself, but despite their overlap I’m confident that even if Leader remains unchanged (do buff him though Kabam pls) he still has room to shine. People are looking too hard at the fact they both counter regen and power gain and ignoring their unique traits, not to mention their methods of control are different anyways (Leader has proper reversal for both and can extract damage from it, whereas Nefaria more so uses regen/power gain as a fuel source for his abilities). I’ve used him as a secutor attacker in war several times and he’s done well despite regen and ability power rate reduction caps theoretically kneecapping him- damage isn’t the end all be all if you can still lock down the fight, and Leader’s degen damage is more than sufficient with a 5 minute time limit. People just can’t handle a champ that doesn’t end fights in 40-50 seconds.
Re: They partially went back on Spider Woman Nerf,not completly
I like the change. I agree with @ItsClobberinTime in that I dislike unreliable abilities. The AA reduction of Ensnare is cool in situations where it doesn't really matter, but when you need pinpoint precision, having a 30% of things failing can be detrimental. And having things fail 30% of the time whenever you fought her was excruciating. Even if you brought in champions that should be able to counter her, those counter abilities could fail and you'd be screwed anyway.
Meanwhile, I believe Kabam when they say that this will make her an even more reliable evade counter since her opponents now won't be able to shrug off the debuff that shuts down their evade. I think that's a fair compromise. You lose a little and you gain a little, but overall I think both changes make her more reliable on both attack and defense, and that's ultimately a very good thing. I'm still happy that I have her ranked up.
The way I read it is that you can buy EMs with energy rather than units. If it works the way I think it does, that would mean that you could trade in your energy whenever you're not using it for EMs. Before you go to bed, for example. Let's say you've got 15 energy left after doing a quest or something, you can just trade that in for some EMs. You don't have to spend that excess energy actually doing Battlegrounds there and then, but can instead cash it in so that you have more EMs to use whenever you actually want to use them.
If that's how it works, it sounds as if it gives us as players a lot more freedom with how we spend our time in BGs.
Re: Was he taken out back?
Eh. He's comes across as a jilted lover. DLL used to be his boy. So far as such that he came out and defended the serpent non nerf and got 💩 for it from the community for being a shill.
However valid his points maybe, his execution of them is pretty bad. He's painting himself as some sort of savior by starting his video by saying he's willing to come their and work for free for a few months to fix the game. In another video he claims he's one of the few ccp members to speak up over changes he thinks are bad. Man's got an overinflated opinion of himself.
He was likely asked to leave. The ccp is a privilege they give to certain people. You can critisize the direction of the game and it's issues but when you're essentially saying you all suck at your jobs, let me fix it, no company is going to happy about that.
Re: Was he taken out back?
Doesn’t appear he was technically kicked per his last video, but certainly seems he wasn’t welcome anymore.
His criticisms are valid and they aren’t shocking or out of step if you have played this game, watched content, and seen Kabam’s attitude at times. This game on the wrong track…. And nothing in the Dev diary suggests otherwise from a 30,000 feet perspective. The people making all the wrong decisions that have been course corrected (and not fully corrected) are still making the decisions… that’s no a recipe for success.
Re: Was he taken out back?
Dude, take a second look at the comment, who wrote the comment, and where you are.
On this forum, people would disagree with GW if they said water was wet.
Re: Kudos
I'll definitely start flooding money back into the game!
Kidding. This ain't it Kabam. For people that cannot or have not identified "corporate speak" in past - this IS it. Doesn't even scratch the surface - and in fact, your admission that there are internal issues and people not talking to each other just makes it worse. It also doesn't address the core issues facing the game these days. All you did here was walk back on things that were bad ideas to begin with (again, on you).
Re: Kudos
Appreciate it, spent a lot of time working on it the past few days.
I see people talking about Defenders, a big part of this update for Spider-Woman was because she was overperforming on Defense - and we are feeling the same way about the oversaturation of Defenders as all of you.
The Comp was brought up here as well - this will of course be subjective, but I think you will be pleased with it.
I'll be touching on the Dev Diary and the changes outlined in the beginning of the Stream, especially regarding EQ and Elders Marks. Not going to spend too much time on it, but it will be there.
Re: Were we supposed to save these hunger gifting pings?
What lack of energy, the 1 refill a day the super event gives is more than we got before any of the reductions.
