I love everything about this post. Good on you taking advantage of it when you could
Its far from impossible, you go into a map 6 aq fight with a Spidey or Miles Morales. Watch that evade absolutely shaft you. They have absolutely no place in the game except defence. At leadt Jugg and Abomination are usable as they dont auto evade and have you on the receiving end of a combo after the evade. At least with my ultron i know when to expect it
Its funny that those who want RDT's want them for arguable reasons due to the changes to AW. While you remain the voice of this thread in favor of RDT's for a complete different reason, since you already mentioned you want them because of mistakes you made in the game. Thats funny, keep that argument alive. I am sure Kabam will jump at that
That said,
Challenge arenas could give a use for these champs we've poured resources into that may not be as useful now.
Arenas like:
Endurance: no potions, no revives, and you fight exponentially increased difficulty opponents in a straight line until all three of your champs are dead. How far you go will determine milestones and rank rewards.
MD: Everyone's favorite mastery gets exponentially increased on each fight against mystic champs. Good time to use your power control champs.
Perfect match challenge: You gain points for milestones by completing matches ending with no hits towards you.
I'm sure we could think of more. Let's get creative.
Every challenge can be bent toward abilities that would favor other champs to use. There's your diversity.
SO you don't think they'll consider it then?
I believe you are operating under a misconception. You seem to think that the problem with rank down is that you can transfer the resources freed up by the rank down on higher tier champions. That's a problem, but not the problem.
I'm not a MCOC developer, but this is such a widespread principle in MMOs that I can be reasonably sure the MCOC team sees this the same way the vast majority of MMO dev teams do. The problem actually isn't with how the resources are spent after they are freed. The problem is literally the fact that they are freed at all. The devs want you to think carefully about spending resources. They do not want players to think that they can spend resources, and then later if they change their minds they can just get them back and spend them in a different way. The devs want the act of spending resources to have an opportunity cost. When you spend them, you can never spend them on anything else ever again. That permanence in execution makes the act of spending resources a much more significant and thoughtful thing. If you believe that you can spend a resource on something, and later if a better opportunity comes along you will be allowed to change your mind and pick the better opportunity, it makes the act of spending resources less interesting. To put it bluntly, it makes spending resources less painful, and the devs want some pain in spending: the agony of wondering if it is worth taking the bird in the hand or waiting for two birds to come along later.
This may not seem fair, but this includes future changes to the game. The newer opportunity might be that the game changes in a way that makes some opportunities worse and others better. The fact is MMOs are constantly changing. It will *always* and *unavoidably* be true that the game will devalue some choices over time and create new choices that are better than the current ones. You are supposed to factor that into your resources spending choices. Buy the new great thing now, or wait for the newer greater thing later. You can't do both with the same stuff.
Every game has to decide what are "extraordinary circumstances" that will cause them to temporarily and in a limited fashion suspend this rule and allow players to recover spent resources and reuse them. To eliminate that pain of picking an opportunity that is superceded by another one. And every game chooses a threshold that is different. RDTs are the MCOC version of that mulligan; many MMOs have the notion of a respecification token that allows them to redo or rebuild or repurpose progress resources of some kind. And they are generally very limited in most circumstances.
But to be clear: how you spend resources you reclaim with an RDT isn't the real problem, so proposing ways to limit how you spend them isn't going to encourage the devs to allow for them. The real problem is perpetuating the belief that resources can be respent at all, in any way. They want you to believe that resources spent on progress are gone, vaporized, utterly destroyed. They want you to believe that choice is permanent. Anything that makes players believe, even a little, that when they spend resources there is a chance they might get them back, that they can negotiate or demand for them to be given back, is the problem itself.
*IF* they choose to give out RDTs in the future, *then* they might limit how the resources can be spent. But first they have to decide to give them out in some form, and how the resources are spent is not even an issue until they decide they have crossed the threshold of needing to give them out first. Until that happens, how the resources can be respent is completely irrelevant.
I did the same. For me, it's counterproductive because I Rank everything sooner or later. I borrowed a T4B from one Champ, and replaced it in a few days and Ranked it again. The rest I used for Level Up and SA.
kabam also said that they couldnt even make rdt after will power was nerfed but looks like that wasnt true
Yeah but your against gears or items for customisation of champs, so if others want RDT let them cry for them, they know they aren't coming and so do we.
But you can't just have your opinion and think it's a win! Others are allowed aswell, and remember ... just because you have an opinion doesn't mean it's right
nope they said it wouldnt be possible for them to make such an item. go ahead and try to prove me wrong. good luck
I am not in top rate allies and I really need t4cc and I really hope they can provide with more resources to rank up;
BUT
I am against RDT. SO DO NOT ASSUME ANYTHING.
Now, if they want to hand me a 4* RDT so I can rank down my 4*50 MM who is unusable in hard content due to dropping hits in her combos, well...
maybe rdt dont help u cause u have no r5 defenders. i have 5 r5 4* defenders just wasted now so ok
true but they need to hurry up. matters like these shouldnt take so long to fix
See you are wrong again. I have some r5 4* and r3 r5* champions just enough for aw offense/defense, quest and aq and some of them might not be used in AW because of diversity but I am not regretting.
I want to get more resources to rank other champions up. I do not want to rank down any of my champions.
I do not understand why no one is asking for more resources to rank them up but keep on asking for RDT?
The Tickets were not intended for mainstream use. They were intended for major changes to Champs. Not content, or Masteries, or any other change. Essentially there are reasons and objectives for these changes, and giving the means to swap Rosters pretty much contradicts the point of the changes, not to mention the game itself. The point is to focus on Ranking and using more Champs, not to shift Resources constantly.
Rushing **** out was their problem in the first place. While I think they could revert War until they actually test and refine a new scoring system, I certainly don't want any more half-assed, rushed content or modifications.
well pb synergies was the reason they should of offered rdt at that time. just 2 weeks b4 they did that i r5 my red magneto so i was heavily invested in thst s*it show
man u just arent getting it u must of been dropped. its not a bad decision if it was made b4 any changes were made. i know u think u r funny but u are just a troll with points that dont make sense
Some of the champs being mentioned in argument for RDT's were created way before AW existed. They still perform the same now as they did then, although some have been buffed. While certain rank up choices were affected, the champ itself wasn't actually changed. Changed being the keyword for cause of RDT's when it comes to champs
ok well maybe the champ thereself wasnt "changed" but the only way those champs were used was "changed" therefore they were indirectly "changed"
