NO, he will be the first champion to be released as 8* and everyone will get sig 200 centurion with new carinas challenge of completing necropolis using only silver centurion. So excited about it already.

They should have implemented the Disney "Hug policy" imo

Coming from someone who was there, Kabam went above and beyond this year to put on a show for online viewers and in-person guests. At that scale of production, a tight run of show is incredibly stressful to put together. There are a million things to orchestrate, and Dave and Mike had a massive hand in all parts of the event. Seeing them in person was great, but they were TIII-RED.

In my experience, there were a TON of employees staffing the event who were more than happy to have hours-long conversations with. Seeing a Kabam shirt and a green nametag (with Staff written on it, BTW!), followed by "What do you do?" was the way in. It was possible to strike up conversations with developers at every corner. You could chat with art team members, design team folks, UI, UX, etc, and not a single one turned down a conversation. There were a ton of friendly convos, with my personal highlights happening in the Kitchen around the "Beat The Dev" Battlegrounds table, with some great smack-talk. I mean, hell, the line around the Beat the Boss station sparked a lot of friendly convos about effective counters and good strategies.

Of course, I don't want to discount OP's thoughts. I'm really sorry that the OP had such a bad time- I wish I got the chance to meet them in line, or cheer on them at the wheel, or just talk about their journey in person.

I will say, I do wish they printed gamertags on the nametags for the summoners- Or some sort of nametags that weren't just our gov't names. No one knows me by that- but they might know me by my in-game name. I ran into friends and alliance mates who I would have never known if they hadn't said hi, or we didn't strike up conversations, or I hadn't mentioned it in a Discord or Line chat.

This guy using the Far Left as a fashion accessory for his personal agenda is so ironic of the ideals of the movement.

This guy's brain has already far left.

I despise how the AI can just dash back and intercept, I swear they're working with different controls than the players. Not to mention the walk up intercepts or even special intercepts

The printing in-game name on the badges is something I've seen a few folks mention and that I think is a good idea. The irl names on the back was just for security purposes, but I do think at future events we can take that experience to the next level by making it easier to find folks you know online but don't know in person. I'm also considering holding a pinwheel to improve my own visibility xD

On a serious note though, everyone's experience is personal and unique and I'm sorry that OP's was not as positive as some of the other folks sharing here in the thread. We've connected directly, and like Mike said if theres more specific and direct feedback you're more comfortable sharing one on one we want to make sure we're always improving and doing better. Even if this is your last time joining us at an event, insights here can help us make sure future attendees do not feel isolated or let down at an event. Or at the very least help us do what we can to minimize it.

To everyone here sharing their own positive experiences, I'm so glad you had a good time. To those of you taking time to cheer up OP, you are the light in this community and I value and treasure your empathy and humanity.

And now I sleep (I've been telling myself that for an hour but my cat is finally insisting it's bed time)

Anyone have email addresses for Kabam Executive Leadership I would love to share my experience.
