Best Of

Could be the fact that the Forums tend to be full of the same, toxic arguments with people demanding answers to questions they've either already answered or don't have new information on.

This isn't just a place for people to communicate with Kabam. It's first and foremost a place for us to discuss the game amongst ourselves.

said another way, you have even fewer effective champs for that quest than you thought.

That’s a by product of Kabam reverting to TB EQ nodes from 2020.

If Kabam's idea of "adaptive difficulty" is literally just centered around bloating health and attack values in proportion to your prestige, that is incredibly lazy and uninspired game design; it is the most rudimentary form of difficulty scaling since all you are doing is changing some numbers.

The most ironic part is that they have already partially figured out the adaptive difficulty formula in the form of AQ modifiers. AQ modifiers introduce additional difficulty by encouraging you to adapt your playstyle to counteract the effects of the modifier (e.g. by performing intercepts, hitting into block… etc).

But instead all we got was "difficulty" in the form of artificially bloated number values.

RIP Event Quests… It's been a good run, Kabam. Stuck with you through thick and thin. But this? This is garbage.

Casual player since Week 1 of the game, Thronebreaker by rank-ups not story completion. I play to have fun and expand my roster. I know I am not the best player and do not have the best roster, but 55k PI first fight? Are you joking me???

Yeah, this is allllll about making us spend more money on the game.

Garbage move. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

This is getting pathetic. Nothing works in game or out of game. Genuinely where do the millions of dollars from the monthly sales go? How can NOTHING work correctly? Aren't you guys embarrassed?

yeah, I’m out this month.

Ill hang around a few weeks and see if they go back to normal next month, otherwise I am done with the game.

thanks Kabam, its been grand 👍

well now we get points but can’t get our rewards

Team is looking into the issue, hopefully just hug of death from everyone going there. Will provide more info when I know more

Problem is not for Pikolu to have such opinion, its just how unprofessional it is for him to share that opinion in a way that ridicules us. Mind you, that's happening on the official discord server of the game and not in a private/personal setting.

How credible does that make him, knowing that he dislikes this place and pridefully avoids it on purpose? In what world can someone affiliated with the company in the way that he does, dare to speak so explicitly about his disdain for the people and the environment he deals with?

He is allowed to have an opinion but this is not an instance of freedom of speech, its just straight up unprofessional whether he gets to be considered an actual employee or not.

Also I remember when it was told that discord release wouldn't really divide attention or lead to a lack of communication but it clearly does. Forums didn't get as actively updated as discord did which is understandably so to some extent considering the factors you mentioned. But how exactly did everyone on the team forget about the september livestream post? Genuinely how is that overlooked, there was no such crisis at that time either?

Actions speak louder than words and I honestly don't see as much effort as you imply. Most of the recent comments from moderators in the past 1-2 months have been attempts to assure people that they care, that they read it all, that they are working on it. How about you guys don't let the tension build-up in the first place? This tension release cycle is wearing everyone down and is very frustrating, how much longer shall we endure it? Forums became so unnecessarily exhausting in such a short span.

As a final note, a properly moderated forums would personally benefit people like me a lot more over discord since it would be more likely for me to get a response here than in that aggressively moving general discussion channel. My attention span would blow up in that constant flow of text, the concept just doesn't fit my nature. Pretty sure that many people share the sentiment and I sincerely hope that things start getting better soon.

I am trying to understand Kabam's logic cause it feels like 2 different people are at the steering wheel...

So they gave free progression titles with the excuse of "not everyone likes story mode, some people just like playing monthly events and EQ", and then they followed by making EQ insufferable… is this EQ and elder mode challenging? Yes it is; but for a monthly? This is nucking futz
