**Arcade is being extra tricky with his Murder Box...**
It appears Arcade has been non-cooperative in his approach to this month's side quest and presented his clues in a nonsensical order. Lucky you, Summoners, we have our best and brightest on the case and those clues should now be a lot more straightforward. While messing around in Arcade's files we came across a phrase, highlighted and bolded, with sparkles and pointy arrows: "the abode for the dead" ... Maybe that will help you along the way!

On the long run, this would kill BGs, if people had to wait 5-10 minutes for one match most people would probably just give up altogether and participation would drop.
i don’t know why he was matching against me in Silver, but it happens. Also, this was not a case of the other guy just farming milestones either:
This was a legit fight to the wire.
1. someone who isn't great at reading social cues through text.
2. angry, anonymous, bad-faith, internet user taking their IRL anger out on anybody they can while pretending to be a good-faith person that's just "concerned" about the tone of an article
guy #1 can be reasoned with, guy #2 isn't legitimate and can go away.
Idk if anyone is working today. With it being Sunday I doubt it. It’s being revived cause some YouTubers are making videos on it.
again, the players who had difficulty reading the tone can be soothed but the bad ones can't and shouldn't.
When Kabam released their new web site, they asked for some volunteers to contribute content for some of the older champion spotlights, and I offered to contribute to a few. Every single sentence I wrote was vetted by and required the approval of multiple people, from content writers to editors to the people in charge of managing the brand. I wouldn’t be surprised if Marvel itself had to approve them. If you think Jax scribbled something on the back of an envelope at the bar and snuck it into the game to the surprise of the people in charge at Kabam, such that they would now be wondering what possessed him to set fire to their business, I don’t think you understand how businesses like this actually work. Which is probably why I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest it is highly unlikely you will ever find yourself in a position to be a CEO of any company questioning similar such activities.
I, and I suspect a significant portion of the community, do not care about Gladiator Circuit, however, I am forced to play the RNG roulette of Victory track because Kabam is seemingly happy to make some content impossible to reach and force you to pay units for it later on. Other rewards are meaningless to me, but if I want to get the deathless piece I must endure tedious and arbitrary matchmaking whilst being required to achieve 5 consecutive wins 4 times in a row, and if I am matched with a ridiculously high roster I must endure 15 minutes of waiting until the match ends otherwise I get no points in the pity solo event.
I am surprised that the best answer from Kabam to a game mode in clear decline is that players should stop playing because they are bad, whilst also keeping key one-time items gated onto the said content.
Anyway, what do I know? I am just a customer...
There were two major player-facing changes in 12.0: DR (including CR), and targeted champion nerfs. Many of the specific changes to the game not part of targeted nerfs were the result of the consequences of DR or CR or both. DR wasn’t reversed. CR wasn’t reversed. And while some of the nerfed were tweaked, the only ones that were substantially changed were not even ones most people were complaining about. The only thing Kabam reversed on and announced they would roll out more slowly over time were the new resistance and penetration stats.
You’re rightly about one thing. The unspoken message from the post 12.0 announcements was, in fact, that they were not going to reverse the major changes in 12.0 and players would simply have to adapt to them. And I’m certainly glad that they stuck to them. Go back and read all the histrionics being said about 12.0, how it made the game “unplayable” and “no longer about skill” and all sorts of other things that by the standards of the game today sound like they are being said by children.
Also, that so called boycott was a mess, and it fell apart almost immediately. I was there at the time, and was saying it at the time. What they wanted was a laundry list of ridiculous, and when they didn’t get it some declared victory anyway, and the rest continued to tilt at windmills and faded away.
Mcoc is a game I have really enjoyed playing for a while and I feel like I am decently skilled as I normally play against larger bg decks and still win. The main thing holding me back is the grind of being ftp. If I spent even a bit in game, I believe I could do a lot better. That’s just reality, this game is not extremely ftp friendly like other mobile games I play like brawl stars and that’s fine.
The problem with this news post is that it’s just a giant fu to those that are not held back by skill as our ‘threshold’ isn’t really in our control. And to those that are held back by skill, it’s still just a giant fu as the tone and messaging makes it sound like it’s discouraging players from pushing themselves to get better.
The discussion of “5 stages of grief” were also a bit weird to me. Most were fine as I’m sure criticism of bg like cheating and bad ai would be annoying to constantly deal with for the community management team. And to their credit I do believe that especially the bad ai feedback has more to do with the natural intensity and pressure of a competitive game mode resulting in more slip ups and higher costs for said slip ups more than anything else. However the “acceptance” stage is just terrible messaging from Jax. The fact that he’s basically discouraging people from trying to improve and instead just saying “u suck go do something else” “just accept ur bad” and “don’t set your expectations too high” is horrible advice generally, and especially in this context. I feel the game team should be encouraging people to aim high and settle for lower vs aim low and settle for low. It’s discouraging, bad messaging and just overall feels pointless to post. All it really does is anger those that it’s directed to and flip off those that it’s not. It doesn’t seem very productive in any way
doesn't quite mesh with this:
I'd like to think we're all here for fun. I enjoy Marvel, I enjoy a lot of aspects about the game. Perhaps the next in-game post can direct summoners on how they can improve their chances at winning in BGs. Fair?
