Best Of

I was also pretty sure they said small amounts of t5a would be in essential store. I don’t see that either. It is the usual. Only difference is that now some big names are starting to leave. It’s just a matter of time before the dolphins drop and then the fish. Reminds me of the company who ran my favorite marvel game before mcoc which I came over from. Mobage who ran war of heroes. They did the same an monetized everything and made it to where you could only grow by spending money. 18 months later game was dead and server shut down. Jus like mcoc the friends made on line and other messaging apps in alliances is the only thing that kept it on life support that long. Rethink your plans kabam or your 5 year plan might only last a year if that.

It’s sad really, I hope since they’re doing something about essentia after reading all the complaints and criticism, something is done about the RNG aspect of ascension as well as the new champ ascension situation with the paywall. Probably wishful thinking but if they don’t the game will continue to sink in complains and negative criticism because all of these go against some of the things they said last year after the Torch and Dark Phoenix fiascos.

Everyone knows the Essentia store is better

It's the low conversion limit for old currencies that killed off any goodwill generated by the Essentia store, it's pathetically low

Kabam also gave everyone FREE 30k Essentia but nobody mentioned that when they complained in forums about the bad launch, saying it just to be fair to Kabam

How are there so many oversights? Why didn't anyone check the store before release to make sure everything contained the right number of items? Who came up with the pricing for Essentia raid tickets? How on earth did they mess up the math so badly?

It feels like something is off in the chain of command, or yall need new employees. It doesn't make sense that all these things come out instantly broken. Just like the EQ. Nobody at Kabam checks anything before release and the players are paying the price.

@peixemacaco if they use 7* Nico against your 5* Heimdall make sure you pause, ez wins for days

Take care, dude. It was fun while it lasted!

I am wondering when she'll be available for ascension, does she need a buff to compete with the rest of the cosmic class?

@CrashOut my friend, I'm going to ask that you stop saying that we don't care and that we're intentionally trying to screw players on XY or Z, and keep the discussions constructive here.

I've been working with the team all day on this - I have put all my focus on that, and I unfortunately can not be in two places at once, I saw working to get an update to the launch of Essentia as the most important thing of the day here.

Now that things are settled (see recent announcement) -
I'll respond to all of your points that have questions or actionable points:

"The purchases within the stores, some of them are just pitiful but don't harm anyone, 1 6* sig stone a week is laughable, 5 signets is terrifying... That won't even cover 2 BG matches so was you expecting people to spend units here? Not to mention the traders outpost and having less availability there than before."

There are 5 6 Star Relic Stones per week, equaling to 20 per month - this is tuned the same as one dupe.
You can purchase 35 Shuffle Signets per week, the same as before. The initial implementation was incorrect.

"The glory situation, you know people have glory in overflow and even if we didn't, glory from last week and the coming week is a lot more than the petty 400 a week trade in, so we were always going to have it expire so you just wanted to watch earned resources disappear?"

The Glory situation was an oversight, so the cap on Glory was removed to compensate.

"The raids tickets, this a huge decision you made, this was not a mistake it was intentional. Use a 3rd of our Essentia or 1000 units is outrageous, this is nothing but greed and inconsideration for the actual game itself, if this hadn't changed I know that most allies would not have touched Raids this week. This was disgusting."

I would like to reiterate here that we are not trying to intentionally screw players.
This was poor tuning. The price for Essentia is being lowered, and Raid tickets were able to be purchased with old currency before Raids started.

The true goal of Essentia was to create a centralized Engagement Based Currency, similar to what Radiance did for Competitive Currency. Sometimes, things aren't going to hit the mark at launch - this doesn't mean that people don't care, or that they're trying to scam you.
In those cases, when something launches rocky, the best I can do is work with the team and do what I can to help.

I appreciate you responding Mike. Ngl was getting pretty nervous that we were getting stone walled. I appreciate you guys increasing the trade-in amount. But the trade in needs to be a pretty substantial increase. Sitting on over 300k incursions artifacts, over 20k glory, and more than 100k battlegrounds artifacts and not being able to buy upgrade mats to take up my champs feels AWFUL.

And I understand y’all are humans and there will be difficulties and broken updates, but at the rate these decisions about the game are being made that negatively impact the community, updates come out half baked and broken, it’s not a huge leap to see why people are upset as they are. It’s not an every once in a while thing, it’s happened consistently this year.

Also, people are this upset because they care, not the opposite
