actions speak louder than words and kabams actions show that they don’t care . What other conclusion can we come up with after totally limiting how and when we can use currency that we’ve earned for years ? Why other conclusion can be made when stores were thanos-snapped into non existence without telling us they’d be removed ? What other conclusion can be made when allllll the information is finally release about ascension and it’s a huge mess?

How can you think we’d be happy with stores being removed and having no where to spend currency that we’ve earned for YEARS? How can a mod who once was on our side of the table think we’d be happy with how the essentia and ascension launch has gone? Again, actions speak louder than words and even the words (Communications and response to the backlash) from Kabam seem empty.

I don’t know what the market research was in regards to ascension… it seems to have exponentially increased the competitive spender ranks heading to the exits.

Me, who operates under that tier at the guppy level spending with no drive to be ultra competitive, took one look at ascension and wrote it off as something I don’t even have to consider for a year.. it’s not a part of my experience at all.

So was the plan to draw down the competitive spender ranks and increase the money requirement on who is left? I don’t know, but long term it looks far more stupid than even the essentia rollout.

Take care OP. We agreed on some and had disagreements… either way it’s a loss to the game, because when someone this involved says “enough” you can be sure far more less dedicated folks are exiting too.

literally totem has 500 more prestige than me. Im at 35.5k

He has spent good amount to get that far.

and i made a post before ascension saying my concerns with the state of the game going into ascension

I literally said ascension could be the start of the downfall and i wasn’t to happy with ascension.

Just because i spent in the past doesnt mean im supposed to keep spending ?

another big whale youtuber with A HUGE account andrewtheruff is calling quits also.

And via my last post i post my concenrs with kabam and how they are handling this new store.

it’s logical and makes sense if you want best “value” is to spend on big sales.

i personally dont like kabam adding alot more sales throughout the year outside 4th,cyber and banquet.

I have plenty of comments and post about my concerns of the future of the game we all like. I been playing 10+ years myself dude.

i was there grinding 3 days for hercules 6* arena. I GRINDED for that top 100 spot.

For spring cleaning next month you want me to show you im not spending then?

That alone wont change your mind about me anyways. But sure ill hold off and not spend so i can get my internet kudos from some random on the forum that seems alittle salty torwards me.

and last. I shared video sharing and showing the many problems of mcoc and even saying ascension isn’t helping.

Yes, with 8 stars (a new rarity) there would be rng in acquiring the champ initially, but progressing them has traditionally had way less rng.. the only rng involved in rank ups are anything class based and that's still 1 of 6 vs 1 of 30.. huge difference

To put it in perspective.. imagine there are 30 classes.. and you are opening class cat crystals (that are rare) and you need 7 of them of the correct class..

Not saying I agree with Kabam's plan, cause I don't. But the way it makes sense to me is that 7 star ascension is not ascension. It is 8 stars, but we happen to be able to use 7 star sigs and awakening gems. Its obviously more muddled that that since the rank up materials are the same for R1-R5 but then different for A2+. But that's how I understand it in my head. Then at least the rarity of it makes a little bit of sense. But I still hate that there is RNG on RNG on RNG to be able to take up such a limited pool of champs. And can totally see why a bunch of people are just done.

Real players know why this happened and arent confused

well there better be a satisfying solution coming soon

it’s not too bad, I’ve done it and gotten the solo

With all due respect to Totem, this has been a problem and people have been raising hell (like he was) about ascension ever since its release, because it’s not a great system. Relying on luck to ascend champs feels miserable. Not being able to ascend new champs without exorbitant cost feels miserable. And now essentia feels miserable. The game as a whole is spiraling and they need to course correct fast
