Please don’t leave compensation up to RNG!

pbeadle

So the game is a mess and there’s really no end in sight. I’ve been cautiously optimistic that they’ll eventually figure this out.

I’ve worked around all the issues but recently I’ve been thinking that the nature of compensation is to provide reparations for the inconveniences we’ve suffered beyond our control. Because of this I hope that our compensation doesn’t revolve around basic six star crystals or even Nexus crystals because the odds aren’t ever in our favor.

If all I have to show after suffering all of these maddening gameplay issues is a choice between 6 star Superior Iron Man, Green Goblin and Rhino then that in no way compensates me for these issues. I’m sure there will be rank up materials provided as well which is great but many of us play the game to acquire new characters and when it comes to compensation they need to take out as much RNG as possible.

My point is that this would be the perfect time to unveil the long awaited wish crystals or at the very least give us the 10 champ Nexus so we can actually be properly compensated for our patience and trouble and get a champion we want or can use.

I’m not even concerned about what’s in it, I just want to know when it’s coming

So who cares what it is as long as you get stuff?

That seems shortsighted. These aren’t freebies. This is a repayment for supporting this game while it is undergoing extreme technical difficulties. Because of that we should all feel good about the compensation we receive, not just those who have good RNG and pull great champs.

Let me rephrase. I’m not concerned about what’s in it YET. I mean we know it’s coming at some point, and I do definitely care what’s in it. It’s just I’d rather have confirmation about when we’ll get it rather than jump ahead to what’s in it

I believe Miike said that the compensation would be out at least by the end of next month (can't remember if he said that in May and he meant June, but I think it was the beginning of June when he said it) and that they would have more concrete news that they could give us about it by the end of June.

I'm not known for my memory, and I couldn't find the thread super easily, but if someone else can actually provide a link or a screenshot, that would be cool.

If compensation is meant to replace what we spent because of the input issues, then we'll get revive, potions, and units. Those are the only things I used because of the input issues. A hefty amount of units would be awesome.

If instead this is a gift to thank us for the troubles we've endured, then really anything unrelated to revives and potions would be great. Shards, rank-up materials, Nexus crystals, glory -- whatever. This kind of compensation should be viewed as a gift and accepted as such. It does not replace anything we lost.

Yeah I think you could argue for both ways. I would love to see it include units revives and health potions because that’s what we lost, and then gifts for our troubles. I think that would give Kabam room to breathe and no room for anyone to complain. Also giving units before July 4th would be something

Well technically you aren't talking about compensation. Compensation is to replace things you've lost due to bugs or issues outside of your control. You haven't lost out on a 6* Nexus because input issues. You haven't lost out on rank up materials either and I am not sure why those kinds of things would be included in compensation in the first place. They included a 10% T5CC in the last package we got but that's it.

You are referring more to apology type items vs compensation. The 5/6* Nexus's and T5CC were more of a "thanks for sticking with us" items. They'll probably include those types of items again but They aren't going to give you a 6* Herc or 6* Generic AG or R4 materials. You won't get units either.

If they were to give us the amount of potions and revives used due to input issues then our stashes would overflow and expire before we could use a years worth of compensation.

I just want it back to where the game doesn't freeze for 3 seconds trying to go to a new screen and then freeze again after going to the new screen

Yes, this is fair and an important distinction. I did conflate compensation for apology. I’ll still maintain that I would like any apology to be less RNG based because we all suffer the same and there’s no reason why some are gifted a Hercules and others a Groot due to RNG.

Thank you for the clarification.

pbeadle

Now that the compensation is here, a lot of the disappointment with the package is because, aside from the rank up materials, the results are RNG based.

I’m happy because I got a new Immortal Abomination but I feel for those who got stuck with a terrible nexus.

I know this is a game that revolves are RNG , but I again go back to the position that if this is an apology and thank you for sticking with them, Kabam really should have eliminated some of the RNG and gave out crystals with more options.

Just my 2 cents.

Bolland

A years worth of compensation for a still broken game should not come down to rng, period.
