Re: Does Nimrod work against Apo Odeal?
FYSA Nimrod is not a hero, so I hope you’re talking about next week’s objective.
Sparky is great on the hero side.
Re: 6* Wolverine & Quake
If we're going by how kabam did magik, then you got at least another year+ for quake and shes gonna be changed. Alot.
Re: The New Women's Day Event is a Massive W
Ya this was a win for Kabam along with Vol. 4 of Carina's Challenges, this was like a good nostalgia type side quest and how these should be like going forward. Not overly grindy and highlighting different champs you might not use, although Medusa and Kitty are pretty known, but its content that you dont just onslaught/serpent/nico through in 2 minutes and call it a day, or have to spend 8+ hours then rely on luck for good rewards
Re: Incursion artifact crystal
They said it will be moved somewhere else soon. But for now it's only in the radiance store.
Re: Let's have a genuine, honest conversation Kabam
Thank you so much for this update and communication.
And Mike, I appreciate you working as hard and trying as hard as you have. I know it's not easy being the liason sometimes.
That being said, I think a lot of the frustration comes from the overall lack of forethought that went into this. And if you say a lot of forethought did go into this, you have to see how that's pretty embarrassing and disappointing.
This really does feel like an instance of "the community is apparently the play testers" cause you threw something to us, we gave A LOT of constructive feedback, and A LOT of changes and reversals were implemented. This is why we're frustrated.
The people in charge of this currency change did not: inform the player base ahead of time that other stores would be closing. Did not: think through how now retired currencies would still be dolled out, and with conversion caps meant that currencies could 'disappear' because of caps. Did not: plan for a RAIDS event happening on the same day a whole currency overhaul would happen and prevent some people from playing or ending up spending more of the new currency. Did not: have any plan for the Incursions crystal. Did not: see that your caps on currencies and conversions was just way too conservative initially.
So much emphasis was made over the past couple months that this was in development for a long time, and that you were trying to make it as seamless as possible and reduce confusion.
One of two things should've happened from the get go. 1 - communication on all avenues (in-game messages, pop ups, socials, forum, discord) that the Battlegrounds, Incurions, and Glory stores would be closing the day that Essentia appeared. We should have had ample time to know this. Or, the better option 2 - keep BG, Glory, and Incursions stores open for the first weeks/month of Essentia, communicating that they were being retired, and that the currencies were going to be converted.
This was something A LOT of people just assumed (read: hoped) would happen, since we weren't getting any communication contradictory to that - and we did ask. I went back and saw numerous times I and others asked, and weren't answered. And if the answer to that is that you guys didn't know the plan yet… then Essentia was NOT well thought out. And if you guys DID know the plan, then it feels very anti-consumer to not inform us that all those changes were going to happen and stores closed the way they did.
This was just an overall highly disappointing turn of events, that, coupled with people's thoughts about Ascension, really was like pouring gasoline on the fire.
Re: 6* Wolverine & Quake
Quake’s current kit, if released as a 7*, would trivialize a lot of content - right now she’s held back just by taking way too long, and being too squishy if you mess up, which would be solved by improved health and attack at higher rarities. Kabam would have to have a bunch of nodes to shut her down specifically on most bosses, because she can just ignore the kits of 99% of champions. (I think the only ones that can’t be no-hit quaked are concussion immunes, which there are only a couple of, and Attuma, who ignores the AA reduction and counters evade)
