The Flavor of the Game Has Become Stale

My comments shall be as constructive as possible. The fun and flavor of the gameplay continues to decline and become stale. 6 years the game is still experiencing gameplay lag, gameplay quality and overall game fairness. Patching obvious holes in a wall doesn’t necessarily mean the walls stability and integrity are sound. Each update brings a fresh set of game lag, gameplay quality challenges and an innuendo of recouping earned rewards. The frowning by Kabam with regard to gameplay cheating has a hint of hypocrisy to it as the game is obviously more incline to reward those who invest heavily in the game and the recording of gameplay and game spending patterns. Of course all of this is most likely in the fine print of the User Agreement. I, as many play the game for fun and enjoyment, with all the updates, game enhancements and game redirects we miss why a good majority are here... We just want to enjoy playing the game... I’ve lost that enjoyment...

    I just want to be able to reliably connect via cellular data...

    Without fixing their server issue, everything else is a moot point...

    I think the flavor is like a smoked ham, with a hint of pepper flakes. Not stale at all.
    The lag issues have gotten worse, but they are slowly fixing them as they go.

    If I can connect via cell data and you can't, it's not a server issue, it's device related.

    What device do you have?

    To me, it sounds like you should just move on really. I can see from your view point that you think casual players should be on the same level.as spenders. That will never happen. Call it quits or take a break.

    I remember you posting on the connectivity issues thread while I had no problems
    There are periods of time when the game works perfectly, and others when it won't login all day. I'm on a Note10+ that doesn't have any other problem with other games or apps working perfectly when needed.

    Their servers are being throttled and/or denying requests when they get overwhelmed, and it isn't a coincidence that MRoC is about to get released and we have a growing plethora of issues that remain unresolved...

    They're too busy polishing up their shiny new object for a flawless release, and our gaming experience has suffered because of it...

    He's not a whale. Also, there have been server issues, yes. They're improving.

    He thinks they adjust rng to better reward spenders is my best guess. Even tho they don't and you can be f2p and have an awesome profile.

    That's all just speculation. Besides, Kabam doesn't own the servers the game uses. This has been said over and over.

    This game has always had "issues" since release for all kinds of people. That's normal for a game like this and in retrospect, they aren't as bad as others out there.

    There are entirely separate teams for the two games. People seem to forget that MCOC isn't the only game Kabam manages at the moment. Just because MROC is coming, doesn't mean any focus is taken away from MCOC.

    I have no idea what this has to do with anything at all.

    Today was the 2nd day in a row that the game worked perfectly from 8:00am CST to 11:30am CST for me. After 11:30 the connection issues started, and from then on I've only been able to login and move in AQ sparingly...

    That's not speculative, that's my current experience on cellular data.

    And that's also definitive proof it's a server-side issue and not carrier or device related.

    Read everyone else's posts for further proof.

    Kabam might not own the servers, but they CERTAINLY have the money to purchase more when they need it, and with all the connectivity issues they've been having lately, it seems they simply chose not to.

    With that said, it's common knowledge that the game became severely unstable after the CGR update, and it got virtually unplayable on cellular data the 2nd week of November.

    It's been steadily getting worse, not better.

    As for MRoC, it might have a different dev team, but they'll most likely have the same player base...

    And that player base isn't stupid...

    It's unstable for some, not everyone. I can play just fine on cell data as well as on wifi and I play on an Android device and that's where many of the complaints are coming from. I don't doubt there are some people who can't play on cell data but that's not necessarily related to the servers. That's device related. What I was referring to as speculation is you claiming they are throttling the servers or denying requests. There's no proof of that. If you are on a Note 10+ and I am playing on a LG V60 and we are both running the same OS, why can I play just fine on cell data but you can't? Again, that's not server related, it's device related.

    The CGR update isn't the first update where connection issues have occurred. What is obvious is that it seems to be happening to more people with Androids than iOS users. The downside to that is, all the varying different android devices and specs. That in itself is hard because what works for 1 person, may not work for another.
