The objectives are pre-requisites. You have to do them to have access. There's nothing stopping you doing them this month. If you'd prefer to look at it as a straight month-by-month thing, then ignore the fact that they were released in September. They are still a part of October content, are required for the event and can still be completed without any loss of reward.
Thank you kabam team u did a great job...Congrats one more time u just sucked...
On top of that if you ask me to spend another hour so that "I can access the next month's content" is ridiculous. Do remember not everyone has free time on hand before jumping the gun. Good for you that you have a lot of free time but not everyone has that luxury.
It is like telling an employee if you don't work overtime this month you won't get your salary the next month.
Yes, Kabam did what they felt was right as per them, but for some of us, it is just not possible to grind so much even if we wanted to. I do not mind I am not going to get the October quests, but stop being so insensitive towards others.
Most of you are the ones who start yelling "Compensation" the minute something goes wrong. Stop doing that and people like us will stop complaining about what we feel is wrong.
I will repeat - The game is becoming a chore, lacking fun, it's turning to an endless grind and the disparity is growing. It was a lot better in the first two years even with the bugs. And for the first time, I feel like I should just take a break from the game.
I have around 2 hrs available a day and that is NOT enough time for AQ, AW, general events let alone grinding the arena. The game should be fun and relaxing not a desperate button mashing exercise just to gain entry to content.
Despite this I was able to complete September objectives on 3 difficulties. Honestly, if you just suck it up and have a go at them they don't take too long at all. People probably spent more time complaining when they could have just got them done.
Might as well open up act 7 for people who've finished act 5 but don't want to do act 6.
Look, it's completely up to you whether you want to do it or not, no one is forcing you to do anything. But you can't expect to be able to pick and choose what pieces of the same event you do and don't want to do.
If you think getting Steve back might have been fun then you gotta do the boring bit first. Kinda like chores for rewards. A lot of life is like that. A lot of games are like that too.
I hate the generation that seems to want everything for nothing
Edit - just took the kids to bed as it happens. Haha. And yeah the band I'm in is mostly a covers band with a couple of our own tracks. We do stuff like Tenacious D, Metallica, REM, even the proclaimers. Mixed bag - we play the stuff that people tell us they wanna hear.
Anyway - hugely off topic and don't wanna derail the thread
Had 3 family deaths in September, so not feeling the need to play catchup just so I can play along with everyone else.
That said, that is my decision. Don't like what they did, just ignore the event like I intend to. I'm not complaining, but I have a feeling someone at Kabam will complain when they see their strategy backfires. It seems to have caused a lot of confusion in some and ennui in others. So it goes.
Would like to hear some of those covers if possible. Not trying to disrespect you my dude, just astonished how you can do so much without anything bumping heads. Reread what i said and it came off wrong.
This is most likely going to be the NORM going forward and we can only hope that they make these objectives a little less tedious or increase the rewards for doing them.
I realize a bunch of people are ticked off about it, but if you really want to do this months SQ, just power through the objectives.
1. I don't know where this persistent narrative of Kabam's revenue being down is coming from, but Q2's revenue is essentially the same percent higher than Q1 as Q2 2019 was from Q1 2019 (2020 was an unusual year for revenue for MCOC in a number of ways, so 2019 is the closest comparable period). It is slightly lower in 2021 than in 2019 comparing quarters: about 1.5% adjusted to USD (measured in Korean Won which is how Netmarble reports earnings, Q2 2021 is *higher* than Q2 2019, but as the majority of MCOC revenue does not come from Korea, this would be an unfair comparison). No one outside of the company has accurate numbers later than Q2, so no one knows what MCOC revenue has been like more recently than about May.
2. Doing fewer side quests doesn't reduce spending costs, because employees do not get paid by the quest. They get paid a salary, whether they work on side quests or office pinatas.
3. Quests and other content are planned months in advance, so September's content was being decided much earlier in the year, with no way to know what the revenue position of the company would be regardless.
4. MCOC generates something on the order of 20-25 million dollars in revenue for Netmarble. That's Netmarble, not Kabam, because Netmarble owns Kabam and all of its games. Revenue goes to Netmarble, and Netmarble in return funds Kabam operations. Kabam does not make more money when revenue is up, they don't lose money when revenue is down. And no amount of changing side quest design is going to significantly change how much money Netmarble makes on MCOC. They don't cost millions of dollars to make.
