Gonna bring up a dirty word

After arguably the worst month for input and latency issues since we were told it was fixed, are we allowed to discuss compensation yet? Married with the faster AI that’s capable of parries , mid combo specials, and can Dex in the middle of special ending animations we all know things aren’t working as they should b

I completely agree with you, we need major compensation for the many items wasted and missed rewards in all modes of the game.

I expect fanboys flooding in soon defending the game and kabam

Maybe it’s been said before but has anyone from Kabam acknowledged that there are input issues?

Inputs have been horrible. I had planned to do Gauntlet and EOP with my saved revives but I just can't dex/parry consistently. It feels like my game starts lagging after 30 seconds into a fight or after an animation with lots of effects (like Knull's corrupted effect, aarkus, etc.)

I'll be losing out on tons of revives/pots if this isn't fixed

I've spent a ton of real money compensating for the above mentioned issues to revive in AQ and AW. It's really unacceptable, I think a new version of Carinas Care package is definitely owed to us. I have stopped my progression towards paragon because I know that I cannot (without spending a ton of real money) beat end game content with the current bugs in the game. I even upgraded my phone to a pixel 6 pro in hopes it would alleviate some of the issues but it didn't it's the exact same as it was on my pixel 4a.

Inputs have always been on and off, but since that last update it has been more broken than ever for me, parry and dex not registering specially dex. It has been worse than the time when we were getting that compensation package for it. Let alone the AI shananigans happening, I got my relics atk blocked somehow, I got re-parried while hitting the defender block in BGs and AI not throwing specials for 20 seconds. That last update entirely broke the game

Oh I forgot the disconnection issue in BGs, but that's for another topic

We are still waiting for compensation for the January acknowledged side quest bugged node …. Because handing out a few health potions and a revive universally will ruin the game or something….

Glad I’m not the only one experiencing this. Many times I try to dex and my character just stands there and gets obliterated. I’ve had a few times where I know for a fact I parried at the right time, but I either get obliterated or it just blocks the hits.

Trying to explore 8.1 and it’s been a challenge because of input issues.

You couldnt of explained my situation any better mate although I'm not exlporing act 8 but I am having the exact same problems, my champ will stand there even if I've swiped to dex or tapped to parry even though I've clearly tapped or swiped it's bloody ridiculous, I was playing SQ earlier threat 5 week 4 against sentinel, and many times I got a combo thrown into my face even though I've tapped to parry and knowing full well my finger hit the screen, kabam really need to pipe up about these stupid resource costly issues.

BigBlueOx

This seems pretty universal but in the spirit of trying to be helpful too. I’m running the game on iOS 16.3.1 with an iPhone 13 Pro which I would figure is a bit of a sweet spot but maybe not

They need to do something. This is an abysmal month full of losses to champs I've never lost to before with class advantages against, dropped inputs, heroes rushing into the defender instead of holding the block I'm trying to hold... Especially bad in arenas and battlegrounds.

I expect a mod to come in and comment, "a compensation is in the works", which will probably help quell some of the unrest. Then we won't hear anything about it for a month or two.

Yea, it was never like this. The old kabam as Dr. Zola shared, was very very good at sending out emails or compensation. Today's kabam, it's sweat, 50/50!

HAHAHA. They've not acknowledged that there are any error, why would they give you compensation.

The lag issues, DC's in BG's, Zero scores (BG's are so broken, but makes them a ton of money, so they will just go another season right after this one with zero fixes). They need to take it down for a month to fix it. But they never will.

Then where to start with input issues. Oh wait they sorted that out a year ago - HAHAHAHA. the newest one i get is the hold block but my hero dashed forward, that is always fun, especially in BG's where you have one change of getting the "prefect" fight.

I can take broken in normal questing, arena's and even AW, but having broken inputs in a broken game mode like BG's just makes it harder every day to do that content

How about the fact that all of the mods and admins are just consistently sweeping it under the rug and acting like it's not there? Can someone show me a link to a thread that has a response? Haven't seen one.

it's colored "unconfirmed" last I checked

Thecurler

I did a couple of eop runs last night, encountered some horrendous combat lag and a few fights where inputs failed continuously.
Cost me some extra revives for sure.

It would be nice, I know an update has been requested. I just hit the 2023 Bingo.

1.) Tigra got repaired hitting into a block
2.) AI Dex’d in the middle of recovering from a heavy animation
3.) Frame rates slowed down when I tapped to reparry so I got combo’d to the face
4.) stood there when I went to Dex
5.). Landed a perfect block that didn’t result in a parry

Combine all this with a current BGs meta that DEMANDS precision and it’s unacceptable. What’s worse is when any of the above happens in AW as it’s not just letting myself down but alliance mates as well

Real issue is entire team Kabam Squad didn't even care to acknowledge the issue. This input issue has caused problems in BGs the most. Parrying becomes an issue as A.I gets over aggressive. Moreover BGs match making is awful, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's awful.

On my alternative account which is cavalier, it gets matched up against paragon with a legend tag, no matter what you will lose as the opponent will finish of the fight way quicker than i can.

Sadly last month's side quest compensation aren't made yet.

Appreciate you weighing in, but there’s lots of match making threads, to not muddy the waters let’s keep this to inputs, fight issues and possible compensation discussions. That’s already a really huge scope.

I hope they come up with addressing our issues by tomorrow before the new month quests starts..

That’s a lot of agrees… wow.

(Not saying I disagree, just… 2 disagrees and 50 agrees is crazy. Cool to see.)

It's a lot worse since the last update.
AI is doing crazy things that it's never done before. (As per numerous threads on this)
Input is an issue.
Dex, parry, even doing a special (sometimes) just doesn't work.
There won't be compensation for lost units + elder marks because they have never admitted there is a problem.

Bazzingaaa

What annoys me, is that Kabam employees must play the game. They can see firsthand all the issues.
Yet silence is the order of the day.

While part of me acknowledges that they do have inputs on the bug board, we’ve yet to hear about AI reaction times not aligning with visual prompts (i.e. being attacked with the stun icon on the screen, characters being able to Dex/parry in the middle of a heavy or special ending animation) from them and it’s been quite some time since we’ve received a substantial update on what’s happening with the inputs and little acknowledgment of how the emotes update (not saying the are related but it’s definitely correlated on my mind) has made all of the above problems even worse. I know the forum team can only tell us do much but at this point I’d be happy with acknowledgment that this update has made things worse, and it should come with a decent compensation package, and hopefully an update on what is happening to address inputs snd latency issues

Squirrelguy

You..... you couldn't even be bothered to add an "e" to "be"? Lol sorry, got distracted.

I appreciate the calm and fairly reasonable request for compensation. I wish all such requests were made in this manner..... but maybe with more complete grammar.

By the time I caught it… it was lockd 😜.

But seriously thanks for the polite response.

Godslayer_1

Is it just me or the block doesn't work alot of times?
I tap the block to parry and my character just stands there ready to take the combo to face
And I'm also unable to dex mid specials, Joe fixit, p2099 and apoc. For some reason, i can still dex cable's sp1.

Mknight123

Hopefully kabam will shine some light on this post and other posts about these input issues and finally realise how bad these issues really are effecting players, I was clearing up some of my week 3 threat level 5 tickets and many times I got k.oed from either squirrel girl or HT or invisible woman and had to use revives BECAUSE MY PARRY DOESNT WORK EVEN THOUGH I'VE CLEARLY TAPPED THE SCREEN so yeh this SQ has cost me quite a few units for revives because my parries or dexterities don't trigger even though I will swipe or tap the screen, so yeh would be nice to hear from kabam if they ever acknowledge it and what it's costing us players.
