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

If you unlock Coagulate mastery, you won’t take anymore damage from bleed since the quest gives already 90% reduction to bleed. So with this mastery, you have 100% reduction to bleed. Hope it helps.

They're as visible as mods in the forums

Agree completely.

This is the comments record of our community manager:

So, Dave literally hasn't commented on the forums in three months. He's posted two announcements. This is our "community manager"!

So, taking a look at other "Kabam" accounts:

Well they're here. But active doesn't mean posting or anything. Just that that's when they last checked in; which will have been suddenly skewed by the Adaptive EQ problems making them shut down the entire game.

Even Pinwheel isn't posting lately - not a word in two weeks!

Rex/Mike is fairly active, and Crashed is moderately active (and it's not even Crashed's job to be here!), and to a lesser extent Pinwheel.

But the total lack of any interactions from our community manager is a pretty clear message that either he was told that communicating on the forums wasn't actually his responsibility; or that replacing Jax as 'community manager' was a reach that Dave just wasn't up to.

Whats good about it. Rank 4 7 star gets hit 2 time and your dam near dead crazy, rewards are TRASH . Please can yall just make the game FUN and stop doing the summoners dirty.

Worthless piece of content. It will get no more of my time or items. Horrible idea.

Given the amazing start to the month, fingers crossed the titan doesn’t bug. Don’t really want to see a popping Red Hulk for the 4th time… even though he’s not in the pool. Totally not supposed to happen, but hey, it’s Kabam, so who knows

Everest content that never gets easier with rank ups… Bumped your prestige? Well, we will just jump the defender health and attack to match everytime…. Is this fun?

Skipping and will probably retire. Have others in my aliiance saying the same. Half of my playing time is auto fighting uncollected and below to finish out the daily event. This change kills autofighting and forces you to put the game front and center whenever you are online.

Dumbest change I've seen in a decade and they really have no clue how many play this game. This game was fun if I can casually play. I'd even drop $5 here and there. An app I use every day, why wouldn't I give something nominal every now and then?

I haven't done a side quest in months. Couldn't be bothered to log on every 7hrs after they did away with timed crystals. Now I can't do anything casual with worthwhile rewards? The lower level EQ stuff was a source of units since they don't give it for the higher levels. And no, the rewards aren't great and wonderful that units aren't needed. Stupidest justification I ever heard.

I'm comfortable walking away after a decade at this point. It's no longer a fun diversion.

Can't believe I just autofought cat runs for the stupid daily event while I finished up work. What a joke.
