BGs Mess

@KabamDORK are we getting some sort of compensation for the mess BGs has been this last week? Most of my alliance teammates (who usually place in Mysterium) have completely given up and are just sitting down there in Uru 3 because of the loading time and reparry issues plaguing the game right now.
We were told the reparry issues were fixed asap yet it's been almost a week and it's still happening to some, loadiing times have been the worst part however, they have made the game mode absolutely unplayable from a competitive standpoint.

One time it okay to lay low. Why even bother that’s much yes the loading time is horrible but it almost done. Less then 3 days left

ItsClobberinTime

Wdym why bother? They're missing out on 30k-40k trophy tokens because of the loading times, they can't climb up because of them.

danielmath

I mean it’s the same for everyone, not like they are at a disadvantage

ItsClobberinTime

That doesn't make it okay.

danielmath

You made it sound like your bg mates can’t move up because they are at a disadvantage. They are not.

IlociaM

I've been collecting screenshots all my timers show 30 seconds more than the real fight time

ItsClobberinTime

They can't move up because they're randomly winning and losing matches, not because they can't win a single match due to being at a disadvantage. There is no disadvantage, there's simply no way to guarantee a win because it's completely out of your control, that is the whole point of my comment.

Yup it was hot garbage this season for EVERYONE and I get the complaints (I had a few myself) .....I'm more concerned with how people rush to kabams defense?!?!??? BGs is unplayable for the final week push ..... compensation is irrelevant honestly but when people complain I get more sick of A LITERAL FLOOD of people rushing in to say whats wrong with the post.....or stop complaining....or it sucks for everyone.....let's see this post for what it is....BGs is hot trash and it has been for A FULL WEEK on an already jacked up bgs season with extra grind...maybe theyd fix peoples complaints if every post wasnt one glaring obvious game issue followed by 40 kabam simps to the rescue being ok with the best part of this game being broken 🤔??? If I owned a business where someone complained and 80 people backed my business I wouldn't see a problem either

ItsClobberinTime

Yeah it's bs, I've seen a bunch of Celestial players drop down to Mysterium as well or fully given up because of how detrimental the issue has been. People can disagree all they want, the issue is there and it's not gonna go away on it's own lol.

I load in at 1:41 but I’ve seen others load in 5-10 seconds faster. In fact, it’s completely random. Lags had a stream yesterday and sometimes he’d load in at 1:53 and sometimes he’d take an additional 13 seconds and load in at 1:40. It’s completely broken and I haven’t even seen Kabam acknowledge this

ItsClobberinTime

Yep, look at the disagrees on my comments already and the thread hasn't even been up for an hour lol it is what it is. The forums are plagued by white knights just as much as BGs is plagued by bugs right now.

ItsClobberinTime

KabamDORK made an announcement on their Discord right after I posted this thread but they pretty much said we're working on it and a hotfix will be out soon just wait a little longer lol we have two days left in the season what even is the point in fixing the issue this late? Do they expect us to do a week's worth of pushing in a day or two? 💀

Nemesis_17

Tbh I think this gc meta has had way more of an effect on bgs rn than the loading time, but when you add in bugs and loading time on an already terrible meta you have a bad combo.

Compensation would of course be nice but I don’t really expect it.

Pikolu

Not everyone has the loading bug. My matches load within 5 seconds.

Pikolu

To OP: the loading times was addressed 23 minutes after you made this post

ItsClobberinTime

I saw that, but what good is that going to do? We have two days left, they expect us to do a week's worth of pushing in a day? Lol

ItsClobberinTime

Yeah the meta is a different issue which I was very vocal about too so yeah it's been a mix of both, but the loading times are way more frustrating imo.

I don't expect compensation either (just asking for the sake of asking at this point), especially when you have people sucking them off so hard for absolutely no reason, and no amount of logical arguments will change their minds.

Gamer

I just saying a compensation wouldn’t make sense with 2 days left I meant sure there should giv something but i just can’t be bothered anymore I learned to hav fun you need to make a whole lot of offer things like he with the one there makes one happy at least that’s for me

ItsClobberinTime

If you're playing for fun sure it doesn't make sense, some of us are playing for the resources though and for us it does make sense. People are missing out on trophy tokens due to the bugs deciding whether you climb up or not, not your skills, not the meta, the bugs that have been there for nearly a week already.

Gamer

I understand that but the complaints in the last 2 days is hard to something without breaking it even more sometimes you’re having to think outside of the box.

since you’re ben apart of the for so long you should know that one fixes much time dose not fixed it and compensation can be talked about after things is being fixed

ItsClobberinTime

That was the whole point of my comments I don't want anything fixed, it's too late for that. I'd rather they just give everyone in GC extra trophy tokens and call it a day cause fixing the issue a day before the season ends isn't really going to do anything when we already missed 90% of week four.

danielmath

Must be nice, first i’ve heard of this happening to someone

ItsClobberinTime

It's only happened to me twice so far but for some of my alliance teammates it's been happening every two or three matches. It's 100% possible that it hasn't happened at all to some people (which if true has absolutely given some players an unfair advantage).

BigBlueOx

Any frequency bigger than 0% is too big. I don’t get why there are any apologists with this. Core mechanics were busted, and it is impactful to everyone’s competitive finish as it was inconsistent on who and how it impacted players. It’s RNG loading time+RNG meta with RNG reparry risk it’s enough to call the mode broken. We’ve been asked through silence to engage with these inconsistent risks since the update, the big C is fair to discuss.

More importantly than that, updates have become a meme. We now expect each one to break something consequential to players, and the while there is a transition in player communications it still feels like there is a lack of consideration and consistency in following up on these things. There really needs to be a stronger action plan to address this, and it really should have an element that’s shared with the user base. I know it’s been a rough time in the office, but we aren’t being offered discounts while the product is inferior either, so it’s fair to expect higher standards in quality than we’ve seen in 2024.

ItsClobberinTime

Cause they probably spend $750 on every single event and they don't care as long as Kabam keeps taking their money and giving them good deals.
For us f2p, the amount of trophy tokens we're potentially missing out on because of this RNG mess is a pretty big deal and detrimental to our progress. Not only that but the extra energy and elder marks we're being forced to waste to climb up because the match decided not to load in until 30 seconds later is just ridiculous.

Glad to see another person on this thread has a brain though, very few are actually thinking logically and giving logical responses. The game mode is broken and has been for a week, I agree, that part wasn't a question.

BigBlueOx

If only you voted for Blob, we coulda been forum BFFs after this 🤣

ItsClobberinTime

Listen, if we got White Tiger then we're getting Blob eventually one way or another lmao

I'm certainly frustrated by the bugs and other issues in the game, hell, everyone is to some extent or another.

But a lot of the people "defending Kabam" etc are really just disagreeing with the extent and tone that some of you are expressing the issues.

It's similar to when people were screaming blue murder about Blade being in the Titan crystal, and then saying that he's completely useless and had no business being there in the first place. Then when people said "come on, he's not THAT bad, he can do x y and z" they were retaliated against for "defending" him and saying they're just being Kabam stooges, etc.

So from my perspective, the game is frustrating at times and there are some really annoying bugs and issues in the game; the GC meta (which I am in) adds a huge degree of randomness that sometimes makes a fight unwinnable and you're left just hoping that your opponent does worse than you; some of the long-standing bugs are extremely frustrating because of the harm they cause to legitimate strategies (i.e. attacking into the block) is horrendous.

But the extent and degree to which some of you are complaining is ridiculous and the people basically telling you to calm down have a valid point.

It harkens back to the days of 12.0 and the "boycott" which was an utterly pathetic notion that served no purpose other than making a few vocal individuals feel like they were accomplishing something when they were actually doing nothing of the sort.

The game has been frustrating, particularly of late, no arguments here - but let's put some perspective and a bit of benefit of the doubt into this. More than likely they're trying to figure out what's going wrong and either cannot find a solution, or at least one that doesn't cause further issues, and those claiming "just do x y z" need to realise that they don't have the slightest clue what they're talking about. I've worked in IT support my entire professional life and the percentage of times that a user has claimed that a solution must be incredibly simple and it actually was would be in the single digits.

Lost my 2 last games because of that. I'm done, thank you for nothing Kabam

It’s fair to put out there that things that seem simple, may not be in execution. But there are elements of this product that are sold as consumables, and they are sold with essentially a “no cash refunds policy”. So outside of competitive integrity, a topic with a murky history and currently bright present, there is a customer satisfaction issue that all serious businesses care about. And if I bought a new car (Hulkling) and during maintenance they install a faulty replacement part or forgot to put oil in my car (reparry into block) then It is more than fair as a customer for me to request that the situation is addressed quickly, transparently, and appropriately.

Why can’t parry mastery be disabled until a full fix is implemented? They should communicate it, because it would be a far fairer solution than a little Dutch boy putting his finger in a dam that still allows it to happen.

Why are loading times so poor? Again it’s been a week, no communication until today

And if nothing is to be done to adequately address immediate pain points, then something should be offered for tolerating them.
