    Happened to me while using Corvus to hit into block. Can feel the urge to retire coming. I always stop spending any money when game behavior is in the dumps, that's just the truth.

    This is begining to get more and more ridiculous every month....Kabam are you able to test your new versions before releasing them? or are you just enjoying to make this community suffer from these annoying bugs?
    It happens way to often to hit into the AI's block and all of sudded between hit no 3 and 4 or between hit no 2 and 3....they throw a special attack and you are dead....
    Who will compensate us for al the resources we need to sped in order to complete your bugged challenges?
    Who will give us back our wasted time?

    Kabam and test in the same sentence. bahaha. But its happening to me as well. I have adjusted my playstyle to purposely hit into their block now and get them to use their special rather than try to bait a special the normal way. Granted i still use the old method but this way has helped a number of times. Other times i forget and get wrecked.

    Still happening and no respond? It is clear that the dev team has been working with the AI. Sentinels are moving much faster after SP1 and this too. Please at least indicate that you listen to us and acknowledge the bugs.

    The reason they haven't is because it is not a bug. I really feel like this is a planned change. Other issues have been resolved. Not sure if there is a plan in place for this one. This may have been by design and we will have to change our playing style. It would be nice to get a confirmation one way or another.

    This game is bugged all to hell. No matter who I use this happens. 4th hit triggers specials, sometimes my champ throws punches while I’m blocking. The record now is 3. I thought I was on autoplay. Sometimes hitting a fully blocking defender triggers parry. HT’s sp2 sometimes freezes you in place even though you’ve already dex the attack. The game has been less than enjoyable. I’m so close to quitting all together. Not like Kabam would care. 😂 1 less player means nothing.

    So I take it this just isn't going to be fixed and that's just how it is now? I've lost countless champs to this bug (including ones who rely on hitting blocks to be effective like Masacre), but if this were a "bug" that benefitted players it would have been fixed immediately.

    Beginning to think this isn't a bug at all

    I just came to the forums cause it happened to me right now against human torch in UC difficult, now i checked that is happening to other people. I do know what is happened to this game, how can they broke the game so hard, they are taking away my love for mcoc.
    Sad
  • DalBotDalBot Member Posts: 1,632 ★★★★★
    We haven't had a response from Kabam in 9 days on this issue. I posted in general to get their attention, which of course led to the thread being closed and referring back to this one (as I fully expected to happen).

    So what's up Kabam? What's the update on this? Why isn't there a fix? Is this just how it's going to be going forward based on the radio silence? People are losing champs in EQ/AQ/AW and you're just remaining silent. Why isn't this a major point of concern for you?

    They address it here, after the 23.0 release on the 24th, they'll release another smaller patch a couple of days after with the other fixes.

    This should not be happening.

    I’ve seen several other reports about this along with other examples, but it’s not on the bug list.

    Why?

    Same thing with me. This is really a game breaking problem. I try to keep close with Red and I'm getting punished for hitting into the block. Massacre is designed to hit into block but he gets punished. There's no way it's intended to be this way. If I have to spend another unit on revives because of this I'm quitting.

    You can not start the AW season with the game like this - this is ridiculous!!!!

    Just fought a node and twice the AI threw specials while blocking! There better be some mean compensation for this!

    I would love compensation because It cost units or energy because you have to start over or other rewards but I just honestly want the game to be fixed. 3 people quit in my alliance. I just got OR and Medusa plus I'm about to get my first rank 5 5* so I want to keep playing but all is these bugs are stressful and makes me put the game down for a break. Soon it might be a permanent break.

    In other words "Yeah it's a problem but it affects players and not us so it's ok to just leave it as is for weeks instead of fixing it right away"

    That's insulting and completely unacceptable. This has legitimately caused people to use lots of resources and yet they just slow play it because it's beneficial to them. It could be fixed right away but they're choosing not to. That's a slap in the face to the player base.

    I feel the same way. I will be taking my 5* Venom to R5 probably today and will consider that my highlight of the game. Mission accomplished. I am also looking at Avengers End Game as just that "End Game".

    I have loved this game for 4 years now but it has become apparent that Kabam has grown way too much and everything they do is based on increasing their profit margin. I understand it is a business and they are there to make money but these types of changes are insult to injury. If we buy an offer, that is our choice. But when people have to buy credits to complete content when they have enough skill and ranked up champs, then this is just money grab. The whole purpose of ranking up is to complete the harder content.

    I feel that this is a planned change so we will not receive any compensation. Remember when we all received a 5* Hero Crystal just before this last update. Well it is more than a coincidence. They knew then what they were doing.

    For now, I suggest that you do not hit a blocking champ more than twice. You can pretty much say goodbye to Massacre's abilities.

  • Bidzy7Bidzy7 Member Posts: 369 ★★★
    yeah i don't like the wording of that.

    It implies that it will still happen but less often.

    @Kabam Miike any clarification on it ?

    During this fight AI also dex out while I was hitting their block (this wasn’t recorded)
  • Dtl7714Dtl7714 Member Posts: 472 ★★★
    This bug is a gold mine for them. Not shocked there is no hurry on fixing it
  • Bidzy7Bidzy7 Member Posts: 369 ★★★
    Yeah updated the game and still had this happen. For something so significant its really disappointing that this still hasn't been resolved. Like i said it seems like the wording "improved on the situation" implies they don't intent to fix this so it doesn't happen but that it will happen less often.
  • LongtimegamerLongtimegamer Member Posts: 179 ★★★
    Wasn't it supposed to be fixed? What does it mean, "improved the situation". We need a fix.
  • synergy247synergy247 Member Posts: 306
    @Kabam Miike we need some clarification here on what this ‘improved situation’ comment means.

    Very simply Has the bug been fixed or not?

    Same issue got hit with special attack after hitting block of Green Goblin and gave KO in war, this game has so much bugs at the moment that it's bonkers, never been like this in 4 years of playing, can't launch SP3 as there is a risk of champ dashing forward on it's own (got wrecked few times thanks to this bug), can't hit into block as there is a risk of getting special attack in you're face, can't punish special attacks, also parry's sometimes doesn't register you feel that it's 100 percent parry. I even consider to give up this game as it's lately not about skill, but how to overcome game bugs
  • LongtimegamerLongtimegamer Member Posts: 179 ★★★
    War starts in a week. This needs to be fixed ASAP. Getting blasted with a special while hitting into their block is not how this game is supposed to function. If this is the new normal then be upfront with us.

    If you are still seeing this, please ensure that you have updated to the newest version of the game (23.0.1). As for the wording in the Release Notes, that is because this has always technically been possible, but has always been a rare occurrence that can happen when the Attacker slows down while attacking into the Defenders block. It's also what allows players to do things like this:

    Completely "fixing" this would make techniques like this no longer function.

    If it was a rare occurrence before, and now, it is very common, doesn't that mean that it is still broken?

    The AI was NEVER able to launch a special attack WHILE we were hitting into their block in normal circumstances. The only times they could was when they had unstoppable but that's obvious. This problem that were having now just started happening within the last month so changes were definitely made. And were hitting into the AI with regular speed we're not slowing down, and it still happens.

    Again - fix it completely

    ^This is not normal and never was.
  • LongtimegamerLongtimegamer Member Posts: 179 ★★★
    Honestly, since when did the AI launch specials while we're hitting into their block with normal regular speed? Never! Ever! This issue popped up in the last several weeks so something was definitely changed. The community needs transparency and honesty here. If your plan is to have this bug be a regular feature in the game now then just tell us. FYI this was never a normal game mechanic.

    I prefer Kabam completely fix the issue and not use technique. This makes it nearly impossible to switch NC. I had to force quit and lose half my health because NC blasted me with a special when i was trying to switch him in AQ.
