They didn't wanna give out 4.5k units and 30k radiance like last time so they made quick work of the suspension this time 💔💔💔

still should give 150 units at least

My issue is that this EQ is only giving me characters to fight that are twice the strength of my top champions. I don't have 5,000,000 heals and revives, and I don't have all day to play to heal characters and fight and re fight until I win. Let us have at least a few options, Kabam.

I never actually mentioned rewards - the player experience itself is completely degraded in comparison to something most of us enjoyed - the Valiant gauntlet in particular. It had highs and lows, but the idea was sound (and still fairly fresh, we only had three iterations before Adaptive).

Not everything is about 11k shards or whatever - it’s a game and we should get to enjoy playing it once in awhile.

nah, I’m just not playing the game anymore. I am not putting that much effort into a mobile game.

To clarify my position as my previous post wasn’t clear - I like the idea of adaptive EQ. It’s just the execution I think they failed on.

Keep elder and just tweak the lower level rewards. Also leave an easy level for people that don’t want to hit end game content. Classic is scaled way too high it’s ridiculous.

Personally i prefer the Valiant gauntlet, hope they roll it back.

Then quit —or just play without caring. Spending should only happen if you’re actually enjoying the game and feeling rewarded, not because you feel pressured. If they’re pushing you to the point where you can’t even enjoy a side quest, then the worst thing you could do is hand them your money. You should be enjoying the grind, not suffering through it

I don't want to be an excessively negative commenter so I've largely refrained commenting on this. I'm usually the one joking around, but let me be serious for a second since we're on the topic and they don't seem to care about it anyway:

I feel like the forum redesign perfectly sums up the new direction Kabam are taking with this game, and its the reason why many, including me, feel alienated by recent decisions and feel disconnected from the community of days past. The new forum is like a unilateral announcement page (if they even announce it here), it allows no reactions to new Kabam announcements, and voicing opinions will be done through our own discussions, which quickly get drowned out by other discussions.

Not a personal dig, but Mike and Dork haven't been convincing and in tune with the general community at large. Mike does seem to communicate more with the ccp and other content creators (as a former content creator himself, I guess that tracks). But all I've seen from him here is the occasional snark and the rare explanation/ addressing issues.

Content creators seem to be getting more benefits: They get access to a more direct line of communication to Kabam, the new CCP code revenue, general youtube revenue, the beta testing grounds map for practicing, access to new champs and rank ups, the new prestige system which rewards higher spenders, more sales, and the list goes on.

It's looking like Kabam know the game isn't attracting and retaining as many newer players, so they've pivoted to trying to please and milk the remaining contingent of content creators and whales that make them the most money. From a business point of view, it might be the best direction for them. But as a player not part of that circle, I am getting brushed off. If it were not for the friends I have in-game who I talk to everyday and play with, I'd have quit already.
