Why would you in any way think that it's funny to fool people and make them think they can earn units like that? That's just mean spirited.
Please no more jokes unless immediately after the joke you say "Just Kidding" so that we don't get confused and think something is really cool when it's really not. We come to the forums to get accurate and useful information, not to get jokes.
Nice! I just got 300 units, the amount rewarded must be random!
:>
Lighten up. It's obviously a joke, we know Kabam doesn't give away free units. Sheesh, it's game.
If Kabam told me that using a character would give me magic beans, which could be used to buy things, then yeah, I'd believe them. I wouldn't have believed it if Kabam hadn't put it in his attack description. But they did. We can't be blamed for believing the company on how something works.
That can't be Kabam's excuse. "Our stuff doesn't work, so don't believe what we say." That's stupid. Also, a majority of things work how they're supposed to. Crystals give you things. The fight button starts fights. Characters work as intended with very few exceptions. Are we really going to turn this into what things work and don't work to justify this?
Lighten up. Kabam adding a character that farms units? Lol...
I didn't say "don't joke ever", I said "don't joke in attack descriptions". I didn't know how it would be implemented, but I assumed it would based on what they said. I don't want a compensation or anything, they should just change it and not do things like that in the future.
A joke is fine when it's light-hearted and made in good fun.
The reason people like me are so upset by this is because I have been following the forums every single day ever since around February 20th back before the whole 12.0 fiasco looking for some useful information about all of the changes. I've read all the hate from the players and all the condescending remarks from the Kabam Staff and just the horribly written responses from everyone in general, but Kabam Miike in particular. I'm not trying to single Miike out, but seriously Miike, your writing skills are dismal. Half of what you write is confusing and so poorly worded. Look at how everyone could confused about Rocket's pushing the button thing. You really need to take some time and have someone else read what you write so that there is absolutely no room for misinterpretation. Even the recent information you put out about the 5* crystals is STILL confusing. I'm talking about the question revolving around the sub-pool for the Dormammu crystal. In that response, the BEST way you could have responded that would have left absolutely no room for misinterpretation would have been something like this:
From June 1st - June 7th, the 5* Featured Crystal will have the following possibilities:
1. a chance to pull a 5* Dormammu as the featured hero
2. one of the basic heroes (to include all of the newly added basic heroes added on May 30th)
3. during this time there is no chance to pull a hero from any subpool
From June 8th - June Xth, the 5* Featured Crystal will have the following possibilities:
1. a chance to pull a 5* X (whoever the featured hero is at this time)
2. a chance to pull one of the subpool heroes (whoever they are at this time)
3. or a chance to pull on of the basic heroes (who will include whoever they are at this time)
I'm not trying to be critical of Miike only, but since he's the one who wrote those misleading responses I'm singling him out here as an example of how poorly written some of the "information" that Kabam puts out is confusing.
Adding the frustration of everything that has happened over the course of the last several months and then seeing stuff like certain people's posts getting deleted, censored, and then all the condescending remarks on top of it, the ABSOLUTE LAST THING IN THE WORLD anybody wants to read from Kabam is a JOKE! Especially one about earning valuable items like units.
It's not funny, it's not cool, it's just mean. People will take it literally. It's NOT COOL to make fun of your community and that's what this Yondu joke about earning units does because there will be AT LEAST ONE PERSON out there who BELIEVES IT.
No matter how rude, inconsiderate, and double-standard your community is, Kabam should ALWAYS be the better person. The more PROFESSIONAL. The customers are allowed to be arrogant. But Kabam should NEVER be arrogant to its customers. That's just Business 101.
So yes, I take great offense to this joke. PLEASE no more jokes Kabam. The ONLY thing any of us want to see is useful, accurate information. If you insist on having jokes, then I ask that you at least include a caveat of "just kidding" or some other indicator so that nobody does accidentally get confused. Given your track record of late, I can't believe you haven't figured this out yet.
On a final note, this is DEFINITELY something that should be corrected and included in the Patch Notes as a "Text Issue".
If the game puts something in the description of how a character works, people are bound to take it seriously. We can't be blamed for believing what the company says.
If you've noticed, they have a creative description with just about every Ability. That's part of creating an appealing storyline. It makes it interesting. When you're presenting a Champ, you want to do it in a way that is exciting, rather than just bare-bones. That's why they have a Spotlight, not a Data Sheet. It's not misleading, and it's not intended to confuse people. It's there to make it fun.
Secondly, they wouldn't offer a Champ that produces Units. That's common sense. Units can be earned, or purchased. Having a Champ that gives Units would create a whole series of imbalances. Not to mention defeat the purpose of Grinding for them and purchasing them.
It's a reference to Yondu's role. He's a Space Pirate. Pirates generally steal things to make a profit.
They are creative. They say things like "his enhanced immune system allow him to resist poison". This shows that he is immune to poison. But the Units thing was seemingly introducing a whole different concept, which enhanced the storyline but also made something untrue seem true. I understand that gaining Units from a certain character may unbalance things, but I along with many other assumed that Kabam would find a way to make it work. Kabam just needs to work on the wording and they'll be fine.
It's not that misleading. It was a playful reference. If it was factual, it would say: "Converts X amount of Armor into Y amount of Units.". Pretty sure most people realize a Champ won't produce Units.
EXACTLY. I couldn't agree more.
Even if there is just ONE stupid person out there who believes it (and there are a lot of stupid people out there), then it's NOT funny.
Even if something is common sense, there will be at least one person out there with zero common sense.
Kabam said he produced units. I apologise for believing a character description. I should've known better than to believe something that has been credible since the game's release.
