The Premature Release of 6star Champions

First off, I want to say thank you for trying to be more forthcoming with releasing information early that impacts the community/players and the game we all love in a big way. It’s nice to know what you guys have in store for us and is always exciting to get big news!
However, this recent announcement about 6star champions was probably not received you way you had hoped it would be. Now, I can’t speak for all players, but I can speak for my team, and the other top players that have contacted me and we’ re more shocked and angry than excited I would say. Most are not happy at all about this announcement and think it’s time to finally give this game up.
Now you may ask yourself why we aren’t happy about this? Don’t you want more power!? Why wouldn’t you want six star champs!?”
Well, let me give you an example. Let’s say you have been saving for awhile to get that brand new car you have always wanted. You wait for the newest body style to come out so when you make that purchase, your investment doesn’t lose its value and rapidly depreciate. Nobody wants the old body style of their favorite car. You want that new one so it retains its value and you can look cooler longer, right?
So right after signing on that dotted line, for that car you have always wanted, you see a semi roll in to the dealership with a trailer full of an even newer body style of that same model car! Wtf right??? You would expect a decent amount of time before the company would think about changing the body style on that model because you did your research and patiently waited for that “new body” and the salesman even told you, you have nothing to worry about! You would be pretty angry right? Now your new car is instantly old and you haven’t even drove it off the lot yet!
Well, that’s how we feel about the release of 6star champions except nobody even wants this new “body style” yet. NOT ONE player has even maxed out a 5 star champ. The materials haven’t even been released yet! Why would 6star champions even be considered for release? We have barely even got to use our 5stars ! Some of us haven’t even been lucky enough to spin a featured champ!
Is this the solution to maxing out 5star sig levels? Because I am pretty sure this is not what we had in mind, nor would we even consider this as a possible solution. This announcement literally came out of nowhere and we are all a bit shocked and not happy about it all. None of us even understand why this would be considered except purely as a money grab. A money grab that we WILL NOT donate to. There isn’t one person who has all the 5 stars that are available. I am also pretty sure there isn’t one person who wants another iron patriot or Hulkbuster, especially as a 6 star!
It has been SOOO hard to even collect the 5stars that we do have, and now you are telling us that it’s all going to be for nothing come early 2018. I can understand the release of 6stars to be used as content for us to compete against, but for us to use and acquire? No. It’s just way to early for them to be released. Like I said, nobody has even maxed out a 5star!
We understand you want to bring us new content but this is the laziest way to do it. Cool, your adding a star level and regurgitating the same old camps that we already have and now we have to pay for the new set. 5stars were that line when you switched from 4stars. 6stars, crosses that line where we say enough is enough and just demotivates us to even collect anymore and say goodbye. We don’t want to start over AGAIN. We haven’t even got to collect the 5s yet.
The game doesn’t need 6stars right now. It needs new and exciting content for us to play. Base wars? Real time pvp interaction? Tournaments? Skills challenges? Gears? Something! Anything else would be better than telling us that we have to start our collections over and commit to spending more and more money that we just can’t or don’t want to have to spend.
I have already wrote more than I wanted to and more than anyone wants to read but WE hope that you will consider delaying this and come up with another way to make the game more exciting or I’m afraid most will call it quits. It’s not a threat, just how we truly feel. There’s much more to say but I will let others tell you how they feel and I’m sure there are plenty of other posts addressing their discontent on the same topic.

Somehow the team lost its past creativity and soon the game will lose its flavour.
I can see that you are going to introduce 5* heros arena with grandmaster feature crystal at 300 units corresponding to your release of the upcoming premium crystal in August 30.
The thing is you could have introduced different game modes within the contest gameplay that could solve the progression issues of the elite player.
You could give them combo tournaments (who score highest combo against a champ of your choice in weekly basis)
You could make a new quest that award lucratively and only accessible to top players based on their progress.
You could make strategic defense base to an alliance where champs are allocated weekly to protect the treasury and other alliances can attack once a week.
There a lot and lots of ideas better than mines but definitely adding star to those who just got feature hero or just their first r4 5*, can be called straight laziness.
It took me a 10 months to dupe my Spider-Man and. It going to wait 2 years to finally dupe 6* champ.
I am blatantly shocked and bored with this announcement. We haven’t even had a chance to enjoy the 5 * champions that we have acquired! It is extremely disheartening when you grind for months, purchase the offers, to pull a prehistoric champ that is in dire need of a complete makeover. We’ve been waiting patiently to see how the game will incorporate the 5*. As of yet, nothing. We want new contents. We want more ways to interact with our collections. We waited patiently collecting, battling, competing for 5* shards for a chance to open a 5* featured champion. Releasing 6* champs is NOT new contents, its a recycle of an already flawed system.
Nobody wants to spend 15k shards for chance at a featured to pull rhino. Nobody wants to spend 15k shards to open the same champ that you have opened 10x. Nobody wants to acquire a featured champ but were unable to awaken them. These featured champs are useless without its sig. Ability. Furthermore, we already can barely tolerate the way the sig ability has been stretched out over 200 sig levels. Why would we even want to collect and acquire 6* with the way the 5* played out in the game? To again collect another rhino to a new sig 500? Seriously?
We want to be entertained. Do not play us for fools.
Just bring new content, tournaments, hard challenges, or bring back 5v5 alliance arenas. Just don't bring 6*s.
I would much rather have gear implemented into the game than yet another tier of stars.
Kabam, maybe you dont realise this, but the reason people were upset when the rumours of gear started is because you had just released a patch that made every champ in the game 50-100% weaker. Ofcourse your playerbase is going to think you did this so they had to farm/pay for gear to get back to where they were.
Maybe let us max rank 5* first and enjoy them before jumping the gun on 6*? How about balancing the game so 95% of the 5* we do pull are not useless?
Now, if you want to release content that max ranked 5* wont be able to handle, implement gear and let us keep working on the champs we do have. Me and many others like me..we do NOT want to start over...again..
Not that i think that any of our feedback/complains atually matter anymore. Not like you have the best track record when it comes to listening to your community.
Its called having a opinion. Sorry you enjoy being complacent.
And some people will accept anything, no matter what. I know which group I prefer.
You are okay fighting against 6-stars, but you don't them to be playable!? Why? It's in our benefit to have stronger variants of the champs.
And as they said, they'll release t5b's soon (5.3 most probably) so we can have atleast 1 or 2 max 5*s. Normally on duping 5*s you'd get nothing, Now they're giving us shards for something that won't be in game for ~6 months. I think that's good for us.
If you don't want 6*s don't spend, play the game for fun. Maxed 5*s would be able to go through Act 5 easily i think. Maybe even first 2 chapters of Act 6.
While I agree that the 6*s coming early 2018 feels a bit too soon, I think that people should just toughen up a bit. The game has to march forward. Their initial plan (gear, challenger rating) was completely tossed out because of the community's reaction. This is their new plan. Unless you want the game to completely stagnate, they need to do things like this. I'm thrilled they gave us a 6 months out heads up and are implementing the shards for 5* dupes now. I'm a little sad that rank 5 5*s won't have a long time in the sun, but hey, it's not the worst thing ever.
You do realise who you are referring to... right...
5 star rank 5's will be dominant in the game for at least a year. Look at how long 5*s have been out. The best of the best have a total of 7 r4s. That still makes 4 star champs usable after all this time.
The same thing will happen with 5 and 6 stars. 6 stars will be released in the future but won't be upgradable to better than a 5* rank 5 for a long long time. Just relax guys.
I'm glad the game team let us know so early. Better than hearing it in 6 months as they release the champs.
I read this comment and looked him up, he's a legend indeed:

Sounds like the kind of player @Kabam Miike should be listening to. Kabam made out that these changes were intended for the benefit of players just like him:
If 6*s are intended to appease endgame players like @ThebigBient, how come so many of said players hate this idea?
If your going to add 5*? Things you should do. Fix all the useless garbage champs you added make them useful. I don't know in what world a 6* Kamala Kahn is useful? Make 5* arenas starting off with milestone rewards. Making it easy for everyone to gain them in he beginning without much work. Then change said system after a run through of basic 5*s aka the starting ones. Then change the phc to include 5*s for everyone not just the grandmaster uncollected. Take the 2*s out. Basically your going to need to make 5* accessible like 4* are currently.
A new concept I'd like since some of the 4* sw Thor etc will probably not be 5&6* champs you need to add a 6th rank to 4*.keeping them still useful but not overly powerful. Maybe for those uncollected or maybe a small fee to have some kind of advanced research certificate or unlocked extra power. Not sure what to call it.
Fix the skill tree to not require any points in any offense defense and utility to unlock. Meaning cut the bs of having to have 15 PTs minimum in the basic offense tree to get into the more advanced good stuff nobody cares about lesser cruelty when there lvl 60. This would be a good place to start.
CD, awakened
I value his opinion over yours though. Seems many others do as well. Enjoy the sinking ship.
You're also welcome to start a thread in the Suggestions section of the forums specifically for Suggestions/Feedback if you have thoughts to make the game better!
On a side note, while we're introducing 6-Stars as opponents in the coming months, they aren't going to be available to acquire until 2018. As well, ranking up those 5-Stars should become a bit easier going forward. Please be sure to read through all the information in the various threads over in the News section of the forums; there's quite a bit there! Then head on over to that discussion thread for more Q&A! Thanks!
