you had me at ... Act 6 – All the changes coming to Act 6, bye-bye attack values, hello fresh Champion fight. and this is from someone who has already defeated the Champion.
i'm excited about the overall player base not having to feel the frustration that is Act 6 and moreover that Champion fight.
they are making some changes to incursion rewards, and other game modes were also mentioned for reward buffs. This may contain providing ISO and gold, but were not certain. We'll have to wait.
Act 6 - "all the changes" better be removal of all gates, allow 4*, and take out a large amount of nodes. 85-95% of your player base will never explore act 6 as it's tuned for 8* right now. I really hope this is fixed. This is a MAJOR issue for a lot of players. If there's no story content, why even play? If not fixed, 85-95% of your player base will quit. See ya game!
Defensive Tactics - I don't know why you keep pushing these, they DON'T WORK! Get rid of them. Or else change them completely to nothing that's horrible like "all mutants get +10% attack". Don't mess with hitting into block, special attacks, power gain, etc. The player base has been LOUD AND CLEAR that they do NOT like defensive tactics. It 100% restricts who we bring on attack. Allow us to fight with whoever we want like the best fight in the game, the grandmaster fight.
Signature Stones - "more abundant and accessible" traditionally for Kabam has meant 1% more. Don't give us 1% more like how you said you "reduced aq costs" but really it was a reduction of 1%. For a FTP player you get 15 5* random sig stones a month from EQ. That needs to be 50. Or 25 generic. All the whales have sig 200 5* already, it's not going to kill the game to give the mid/lower tier players more sig stones.
Content Commitment - "It is our mission to keep up our communication". We've heard this 50 times before and you have failed 50 times. Make this one the one that sticks! Do a roadmap every 3 months talking about the next 3 months. Do polls asking the community questions on what WE want to see. Maybe even host a live you tube event where we can ask live questions. Show us gameplay of actual Kabam employees soloing boss fights without boosts. And honestly, just be honest with the community. If you screwed up a champ or a fight or a lane, just say "guys we didn't test this particular fight well enough, we are sorry". Everyone makes mistakes, we all make mistakes. Don't try and justify something when you made a mistake. For over a year you have been justifying Act 6 when you knew it was awful and wrong. Now you are changing it because of one Seatin video. If you listened to our feedback after a month after act 6 came out, you knew it was wrong, broken, awful. You should have said something then, not waited over a year. Communication and admitting faults will be another huge reason for this game to fail/succeed. I hope you succeed.

I’m very excited to go in a fight the new champion. I already finished Act 6 100%, but he sounds exciting.
Only thing I see missing is masteries, was hoping for that to be streamlined. Overall, excited to see what you’ve got in store, was very happy to see reduced attack values in act 6.
Some really good changes. Hopefully they will be implemented soon.
Is Kabam also looking into to aq? Map 7 has some real bad nodes like cant stop won't stop, thing mini bosses etc. They are the main reason players go for timeout method.
Moreover, inventory limit and sigil also needs to be reviewed.
This looks good, but I don't want to get my hopes up just yet.
A couple things I'm worried about: 1) If Attack values get reduced in Act 6 and the Champion fight becomes easier (btw, no mention of Sinister, hopefully that's on the list as well) will the rewards get reduced? 2) No mention of improved rewards for Arenas. 3) No mention of improved Solo Events or doing anything about Solo Crystals. Unless that's baked into the Crystal Update section? 4) Nothing on new Masteries (mentioned a bunch by other people already).
Hey Miike, can you suggest to the devs to add to their posts the ideas they totally didn’t steal? We’d appreciate the glory even if we’re not specifically named 😄
@Kabam Miike for me most important is a change to actual RNG crystals. But if you will update 2 champs every month will mitigate the disappointment. About Magneto buff. Will be release the 29th of June or will you announce the date this day?

We'll be announcing it on the 29th! We want to move quickly, but moving THAT quickly is impossible.
Very hesitant on enthusiasm here. Many points are things that have been requested for years. Abyss reward nerf sets a disappointing tone for things to come.
Before everyone gets super excited for 5* Wolverine and Scarlet Witch can we at least confirm that is going to happen? I know lots are hyped for this and it would be nice to temper expectations first.

Expect less than 2-3 moths for the buff. If not things will continue with the same schedule as before

They'll prob only be in featured crystals, not basics, like Thor, BW, etc

I don't really have an issue with that as long as eventually they make the incursion crystals. But Kabam has always said it isn't happening and if they are changing their stance it would be nice to get confirmation. If not then its going to cause huge outrage from people like we always see.
My only complaint: Why do we have to wait another week to hear more 😭. I’m so excited to hear about the upcoming changes and I want to know everything as soon as possible. (Also, which Magneto is getting buffed? Both?)

My takeaway for now is that they're finally listening. I share your caution, but am willing to loan some good faith to them and wait to see specifics and timelines. Not sure how anyone could take the announcement as a net negative.
My concern is that they're just now listening, likely due to other reasons. Regardless I feel they have some work to do to rebuild trust with the player base. I'm hopeful but have low expectations.

A lot of this stuff has been in the works for a while now, but there are definitely things that changed based on player feedback. We're not just only listening now. We've always been listening, but haven't always had something to say.
I feel one of the things we need is: At a point in the game cavalier or I don t know act 6 100%, you guys decide, 4* rank 5 or 5* rank 3 should not need t4cc. This should change for everything, a rebalnce of how the resource is needed...and it s not s I need this, everyone needs something in the game...but as you go further in the game, you usually can t rank up a 4* or some champs you want/need because of the amount of resources needed for something that you can t use in endgame but makes grinding arena for example easier Overall the changes look great, I can t wait for all of this, big thumbs up for all of it! Congrats Thank you
