I think the core issue is tied directly to BGs. Too many players are pushing higher ranks and collecting Radiance without any cost, and that’s clearly not the outcome Kabam wants. By forcing BGs through energy, they want to create a restriction: either players grind less, or they spend units. In practice, that turns Radiance into a paywall.

The revive farming angle doesn’t hold up here -most endgame players already sit with revives in overflow. If that were the real concern, the solution would look very different.

This is about BG control. Kabam could’ve easily kept Elder Marks alongside energy refills, but they didn’t. That choice signals intent: they want the higher brackets occupied by players who are either spending or at least burning through units. With the Radiance store update coming, it feels less like game balance and more like a calculated move to regulate access to rewards.

Correct, free points stopped at the original end date of the sale.

You have the courage to give a thumbs down. but not to comment. It's impressive how you can simply hide an opinion. or even formulate one. or worse, think everything's fine. There are thousands of threads complaining, and there was a response. and it was worse than expected. if players don't give their real opinions. I've seen several games die, and other game servers shut down. The last thing left is the sadness of not having listened to the players. without them, it's just a company. and a company without players doesn't work.

The dupe bug with relics is just visual. I've been tracking it every time I open one.

From what I'm seeing, the company's progress is correct. Everything involving energy will be reduced or removed. We'll play like a simple game (Farmville) and wait to be able to do something. Or pay to move.

The guy who decided that removing energy refills was a good idea I hope he gets the worst life ever

I don’t know who to blame, but the game is worse now. I’m fine with change for the better, but the overwhelmingly negative feedback should tell you that’s not what’s happening. I was just thinking about the older stuff - item use, class upgrade, Avengers and Guardians objectives - and fun side quests like Gwenpool goes to the movies, thinking about where the game has gone wrong since.

Sleepwalking through dailies now, and barely doing the minimum for some easy Arenas, questioning if I even want to bother if this continues.

He is a little bland. However, I personally still use the Blade/Ghost Rider combo in Alliance Quests; and both are definitely useable and effective. They might be even better once Ghost Rider is reworked; although I'm slightly apprehensive because GR's utility is great if Blade is on the team.

Blade can inflict damage and gain power by parrying the opponent, which is useful.

His power gain ability when the opponent bleeds is the most important thing he does - he can throw two SP2s pretty much back to back if played well.

If debuffs are a problem, his ability to reduce their duration by up to 95% can be incredibly useful. I mostly use it for scenarios like Encroaching Stun, but he can even do lanes like Hazard shift, in a pinch, by parrying until he's at three bars of power, then playing without throwing a Special.

You'll want a few points in Deep Wounds to get the best out of him, damage-wise. It'll make his SP2 bleeds dramatically better.

Black Panther relic, to reduce the opponent's physical resistance, etc.

Stop tickling their balls all the time. They don't care about you. These changes aren't nessecary at all, they are done by choice and from an entirely profit driven perspective. Some analyst has looked at the data and asked why they are giving all this energy away for free when we could be selling it. Screw engagement and a happy player base, give me mo money!
