Re: How do you test big new changes, Kabam?
Saw the announcemet for the clown fiesta we have had this morning.
- What about glory that expired in the 4 hours of silence while waiting?
- What about time zones that went to sleep before this announcement and lost or burned their glory already?
- Any constructive explanation on how this ridiculous limit of conversion got approved? Not the "slower transition to the new currency" bs. 2k bg tokens with weekly 2.2k conversion limit assuming players had at least 150k cap?! This does not justify the slower transition…
- "To better accommodate the balance…" What??! Can you just directly and sincerely say: "Our calculations were wrong. We will test the new store changes better next time. We messed up."..??! "We apologize for the rocky launch" - 60+ threads were opened due to new currency rollout so far, 8 pages of forum are full of people complaining and joking. A rocky launch 🤣
Re: How do you test big new changes, Kabam?
For an 11 year old game, it seems like there is no real QA in place in any way and there is no clue what the community wants until everyone complains and they need to back peddle. Very strange for a game that is essentially the same base concept for 11 years. I would expect a company to have fine tuned any of the processes by now.
Re: Took the whole community to outrage on kabam to make things change
Bring back the old stores, so people can use their resources and transit into those new essentia thing.
Re: Mysterium store update is disappointing
I also made a post about this. They literally just axed a beloved part of the game. Like players ranking up 2 and 3-star champions did not affect anything in any way. It was just a fun thing summoners could do and they made it worse.
Seriously what justification could there be for limiting those resources? @Kabam (Osaurus) Rex
Re: Took the whole community to outrage on kabam to make things change
What’s the benefit of being competitive in game if all the glory you’ve earned, all the Battle Chips, all the loyalty, earned through hard work and competition can’t be used when you want to use it.
Players stock up on resources should get a leg up when there’s a store update. It’s why they’ve saved. Such an artificial bottleneck is only to try and force us to use units and $$$.
So it’s pretty clear the store was implemented as intended. They’re wasn’t any bugs, or issues. It was the perfect implementation of a change that is the equivalent of a poo. Just because the players think the change is poo doesn’t mean it wasn’t implemented as exactly how Kabam wanted it to be. This is the approach. Give us rubbish, we push back and they see how much they can shine the poo up.

Kabam livestream literally lied about the old stores remaining during the transition
Oh wow
Can't believe anything from livestream from now on
Re: Essentia trade in purchase limit?
How thoughtless they are you may ask?
This Raid week that started today is supposed to be the last one giving glory as reward. I do believe my alliance receives 7k Glory in a Nightmare Raid week. The limit to trade was 4 glory? Or 4 buys of 100... This single week of raid would have taken me 15 weeks to trade.
I am not worried for the person who thought about this, I am more concerned about the person who approved and green lighted this awful idea from the beginning.
Re: Took the whole community to outrage on kabam to make things change
it feels like Kabaam has a bunch of different departments that each do whatever they want without any oversight or quality control. New content is so inconsistent it makes no sense
Re: Took the whole community to outrage on kabam to make things change
Exactly.
I was under the impression that anything I needed from those other stores would be available here, and also that there would be a slightly lenient 'conversion-period' where the other old stores might stay open for an initial week or month, so as not to cause this mass confusion and chaos, but no.
The Essentia store has nowhere to buy a 7* incursion crystal. I have over 400,000 incursions artifacts and now have no way to buy an incursions crystal, unless I use 22,000 Radiance, which is an absolute joke because radiance is a top tier competitive currency and everyone will be hoarding all their Radiance to be able to obtain a 7* Magik.
Incursions isn't a competitive mode… give me my option to buy that Incursions crystal again OR open the incursions store back up and explicitly say it'll stay open for X amount of time in order to buy your final incursions crystals.
Re: Why is the essentia conversion stuff limited
Thanks DNA.
A lot was said with little substance to be honest.
The store & trade-in capability is still severely underwhelming.
