So instead of doing important things to make everyone happy, like fixing AI issues, bugs, input issues. The gap between f2p and whales. You make events no one asks for. Which is still some how gonna benefit spenders. This arcade mode is so bad it’s funny. Do you guys listen to the community. Or do you only listen to whales. Until it’s a boycott you listen. Until it’s your wallets getting hurt you listen. Just fix the game and make it fair.

Just to be clear, 100% hearing y'all on feedback with regards to Doom Cycle, have passed along those concerns to the team and leadership. However, want to dispel the rumor that this mode's development did not take away from fixing bugs, working on our improvements to ai, input issues etc. It's a large team here at Kabam that all do different things. Completely valid to not enjoy the mode, we're trying out new things. Gotten some pretty strong feedback about it so far which is fair. But it did not come at the expense of those other things.

That’s a stupid excuse I’m sure more then 85% of the community would not care if you guys said “hey we’re gonna hold off on new content like new side quests, events whatever, to focus all our team effort on a fixing issues that have persisted for the longest time. Also don’t ignore the gap between ftp and whales you know you love to cater to whales. Let’s start with bg. I get if you spend your more then likely gonna rank higher. When you make metas that if you have the new 5/5 defender and the counter to it your gonna win. Radiance new amazing currency, oh wait only available via pvp.

Okay lets say you have a car factory. You've got the car designers, the engineers, the sales people, the different factory lines that all do different things that all ultimately results in one finished car sold to you. If there was an issue with the car, saying hey we're having all employees report to the factory floor to work on this particular line is not a solution.

The game team is big and covers a lot of different jobs and specialties. Stopping running side quests, or event new champs, is not gonna result in bg fixes or ai improvements. Its different jobs with different skillsets and knowledge bases. I wish it was that easy to snap your fingers and say hey we're gonna fix this, but its more complex than that.

That all said, this month's build release was rough. No hiding that. Proud of the game team for getting a lot of fixes out the door quickly, but all of us would be the first to say we wish they didn't have to do that in the first place.

Yea yea yea. Whatever I get that. How about you use all the money you guys accumulate from the whales spending on your game and hire more people to help fix the issues with your game… can’t be that hard to hire new employees with the amount of money you guys make.

More bodies isn't always the solution either, too many cooks and all that. Plus if youre just hiring people for a specific issue what happens to them when its solved? I understand you have frustrations and we also want to improve the game, but need to do so sustainably. Thankfully neither of us are the ones that have to make those tough business calls.

I really applaud your transparency in these threads. It's appreciated.

I never even saw a way to switch which champ you are using

You gotta click their pic while picking your boost from that round before you hit continue. Took me a few tries to figure it out myself.

Only to not know if theyre the intended counter for the bot youre fighting because the game doesnt tell you

Thats my biggest gripe. Obviously the different icons mean different things, but there's literally no way to find out. Does it even matter though? For instance, the Incinerate Doombot can still place Incinerate on Torch. So is there even such thing as "counter picking"?

I guess the counters are the buffs you pick after each round.

Wrong.

Ok wise guy. Do you know? Cause I don't think literally anyone does.

@Buttehrs unless I’m counting wrong, the titan shards in the shatter mode aren’t accessible for ftp players. But all of the saga tokens are, so you aren’t missing out on that

They are free. You have to finish story mode first. You get 3 entry tokens for free per day. It's only pay to get if you want em sooner.

Why do you always side with Kabam my man they aren’t gonna hire you big dawg. You gotta wait a day to even play? when you can’t fight, or even hold off on using your special people will die and have to restart which means…. Oh yea spending. I can’t even use my special when I want too in this game mode. “Buy tickets guys so you can get more powerups and to get more entry tokens” “hi we’re Kabam we don’t care about your enjoyment only your wallets”

I just can't understand why you guys are introducing these new game modes?

Mcoc Poker and Turn based autorun, they take away from the core of MCOC for the last 10-years of building your skill, expanding your roster and these game modes come away from this completely.

I feel like something like this might be a good if the rest of the game wasn't flawed; we still have input issues from 4 years ago you never fixed, an overtuned AI that can skip frames, recover exceptional fast and is still ringing the game. Not to mention the promises to add variety to Batllegrounds, that game mode that hasn't changed since it was released 2 years ago.

How much resources and money went into these modes that could have been put into improving the game? Nobody asked for this, everybody asked for a properly working game
