Tone Deaf or Something Else?
I’d like to approach this topic very carefully and ensure that it builds a supportive discussion and not lead to everyone just bashing the current state of the game….
With SoP, we’ve seen some of the most challenging solo content introduced this year and certainly some of the greatest rewards. We have also seen these ongoing game mechanic issues that presented during said solo challenge.
I appreciate, to some extent, that we have received a handful of AQ and AW resources as there has been need for them recently. What brought on the concerns I would like to bring to light was the rapid redistribution of a War compensation package almost immediately after the AQ potions and revives were sent by mistake. Good on Kabam for admitting fault and redistributing the intended compensation.
However, what stands out was the ability to create this new compensation package ON A DIME. It is clear that SoP requires an abundance of solo potions and revives for many players in order to clear the content before it ends. The failure to provide these type of items in compensation seems willful with the intention to force players to purchase units in order to redeem more solo resources. The AW bundle was literally compiled and distributed in ~30-45 minutes, but the true parry/dex compensation will not be distributed until the end of the month. Conveniently, the end of the month is also the conclusion of SoP and the utility of solo resources would no longer be in such high demand. This neglect to provide the items needed (and abundantly requested) seems intentional now because they’ve proven a custom compensation package can easily be modified and distributed.
I hope I’m wrong. I hope that kabam would value their player base enough not to penalize them in this manner. I hope this thread can remain civil and constructive as well.
