At first this quote from my boy
@Kabam Miike made me laugh and wonder if he really could stand behind that statement. I personally was going to make some snarky comment how I joined AW with cyclops and wouldn’t you know it, cyclops really is a viable option... but then I figure why get put in Kabam jail by the mods for making a funny at their expense.
So instead I want to focus on the difference between ‘intended’ and ‘unintended’
We are all familiar with the phrase, “working as intended”
Now what is making me scratch my head is that somehow Kabam has the stance of changing the fundamentals of one of the most competitive aspects of the game, beta testing this new variation (very poorly IMO) and despite horrible feedback, Kabam rolls it out anyway (as a player base wide beta type experiment IMO)
At the same time releasing a new AQ variation that feels very much like an ‘intended’ bump in difficulty.
My overall point and question, is what is Kabams intentions anyway? Surely they can not be so far removed that they don’t recognize the bump in difficulty, and if they do in fact see it or acknowledge it; how is that not an ‘intended’ change. It is a matter of semantics, but what blows my mind is that if this truly wasn’t the actual sole purpose of these updates to INCREASE difficulty and thus spending and therefore profits, then is Kabam really that far removed and disconnected from their player base and game in general?
My final point is that if Kabam is very much connected to their player base and game and they were intentionally increasing difficulty why placate us with blatant and glaring posturing of ignorance?
It can only go one of two ways, either Kabam is blatantly lying to its player base or they really are that disconnected from the game they make. I can’t decide which it is
