Re: Was Ascension a Mistake?
It was a lie in disguise, they are not monetizing the champ, they monetized the champ upgrade accessory.… Maybe it helps them sleep better at night, who knows.
Re: Seatin's BG stream
This Season was miserable for me. No idea how anyone can say it's normal.
Re: BG season punishingly unfair
Unenjoyable is definitely the right description.
I really disliked this season; although that's partly because I dislike the actual BGs mode in general, so tend to resist taking up the best BGs champions. So, partly self-inflicted wounds, there 😉
The Attacker health remaining change to scoring was the worst thing - it meant the only thing that mattered was the fastest kill; with no possibility of adopting a different playable, and games frequently won or lost based on the most cooperative AI. If your spend ten seconds baiting out a special, that's enough to lose; which just feels crazily punishing.
If it hadn't been for the Blade piece, I would have stopped playing BGs at all, weeks ago.
I got him at the last opportunity; literally 25 minutes before close… 🎉

Her being named Phyla-Vell tells me the one true Quasar is coming.
Re: Does Kabam show they listen to our concerns
Kabam 'listens', but it seems like they never act upon 80% of our concerns.
Heck, Essentia has been out for 3 months now, where they've removed multiple stores, and still haven't provided a solution for some of the things missing - like the Incursions 7* Hero Crystal…
They've now made it entirely impossible to get any of those Incursions champs unless you spend RADIANCE, seriously RADIANCE of all things? No one is going to waste that precious high value currency on it, but some of us are still chasing champs that are in that crystal - even moreso now that they've introduced Collectives.
I still don't have a 7* Namor and Kabam said, day 1 (or 2 or 3) of the disastrous Essentia rollout that they would figure something out for it. (It's bad enough that means they hadn't thought about it before removing the incursions currency)
Re: BG season punishingly unfair
You can't have only champions good for questing and do well in battlegrounds
There are champions that I ranked up specially for battlegrounds that are absolutely useless for questing
Re: Seatin's BG stream
I reached the Gladiator Circuit in my main with this non meta deck. I've been using half of it because all the R3s are underleveled and never used them. I didn't had much trouble, but I understand the struggle of Seatin and any player like that.
Re: Does Kabam show they listen to our concerns
I do agree that this Season of BGs was absolute misery, but I can't agree that they never listen, nor do I think the CCP program is broken. It's a joint partnership. Both sides have benefits. However, those benefits are sometimes limited. It's not a promise to accommodate everything they say, and it's not a guarantee that they will be included in every promotional aspect.
Re: Shatterstar and phylla vel confirmed for June
They're both members of the LGBTQIA+ community as well, so there's a Pride tie-in.
Re: Next stellar forged champ?
Karnak is such an odd champ with him needing cosmic and skill catalysts. I've always wondered if they'll do another champ who needs different class catalysts (probably not)
