    Can kabam ban from the forums that annoying guy spamming useless posts?

    I’m doing same because I find it kind of funny, but only reason these are staying on front page is because people keep replying to them.

    Unfortunately it's the weekend so we're kinda screwed til Monday, they rarely do anything on weekends. I believe I saw Miike close down a thread and a ban a person on a weekend once last year but he doesn't work at Kabam anymore and again they very rarely do anything on weekends so for now all we can do is just let this get drowned out and push it back up on Monday once that donkey gets IP banned (hopefully).
    Guardian can remove and make it not as clunky as long we don’t make to many’s comments

    I came back after a 4-5 month break literally last week and while I am going to stay I don't think I will spend any actual money like I had planned to do so from the beginning when I first came back.
    When I returned I thought BGs rewards are probably better now, AI probably isn't as much of a pain in the ass now and even EQ and SQ have probably been buffed in terms of rewards. Come to find out not only are BGs rewards just as bad as they were when I left participation is dropping as well since I don't see Celestial players with the same amount of trophies they usually had 4-5 months ago I believe I even saw some Celestial players with barely 250 trophies. AI somehow has gotten worse now, it has the power of literally intercepting you when you actually got the intercept (I've been playing since 2015 I know the timing) and I've been testing this with Kushala and her spell and sometimes I will get the intercept spell but take a combo to the face regardless. Lastly, EQ and SQ rewards are so unbelievably outdated doing both still feels like a chore which is another reason I left in the first place however if you look at money deals, the resources you get out of them are absolutely worth it I understand this whole thing is a business at the end of the day and I have no issues with people who whale out or the events that require you to whale out to get the best rewards but almost everything in the game is currently outdated and it annoys me how they refuse to acknowledge this.

    I'm not leaving but I will remain a casual player until they get their s**t together, I really miss Miike and Jax almost everything in the game feels wrong since they left.

    Forgot to add...
    As I said , progression shaming but, also,
    this is like you're saying "Nobody asked you" , as if we aren't free to answer every thread.
    Keep with your good comments I see on all threads, not like this one
    And lets keep voting for Sue Storm

    Hey all, really great thread here with a lot of great feedback. Do keep it coming.

    On the community side there are always improvements to be made in communication and we'll be making adjustments as we move along. There are certain issues we deal with on our end that we can't give definitive answers on right away, but for sure can change our language a bit and update you more often even if we have nothing to additional to update with.

    I know there's quite an affinity for the former community team, so if there were actions from them that you really liked and want to see emulated, please feel free to let us know and we'll try to get that implemented. We're a different team with different tactics and strategies but we'll do our best to oblige.

    Thanks for your answer

    Everything is fine, Dave...

    Mcoc is great. Of course here ,there are Valiants crying over rewards.

    But ,they dont understand that they already have all the things to R3 or even R4 their 7 stars.

    And this is really enough for them to complete Quests, even Everest.

    So ,why better rewards???

    And Battlegrounds are the best mode now.

    Keep it up the good work

    Thanks Kabam
    This could not be more wrong, and maybe this is your opinion, but you haven't even completed act 6, so your opinion from the perspective of a valiant player does not remotely matter. The game is riddled with bugs, we don't want our rank ups so we can complete everest content, most of us want them for Battlegrounds and I just want them for roster building. Battlegrounds rewards have not been updated in over a year, and a lot of rewards are so outdated I don't feel like doing anything. Overall, the game is not fine in the slightest and there needs to be some serious thinking if Kabam wants their game to last more than a year longer.
    This is progression shaming against me...lol what?
    As the popcorn troll does this, also the "Nobody asked you"
    You already know, I dont care.
    Having great times as TB with all great rewards...

    "Don't derail the thread"
    *proceeds to talk about invisible woman*
    Dont you understand that I told her not to act like that in a respectfull way? And knowing she vote for IW, why not?

    And if you all want to pursue one individual on forums ,come against me, i dont care as Im not a kid.

    Just dont do this to someone else that did nothing to you.

    And respect always.

    I personally don't mind them selling stuff, problem is when all they want to do is sell stuff. Specially if its stuff you know nothing about yet.

    This, this is all they want, one of the most greedy companies I have ever encountered, and they aren't apologetic about it now, they are on full transparency mode.

    @KabamDORK

    One suggestion I'll say is, you guys can plan and conduct more interactive and fun livesteams like mikke/jax era. Remember the xmas Livestreams jax conducted where there were multiple games/quizzes and interactive sessions with kabam employees? You and Karathe miike could recreate that. Nowadays the livestream feels pretty boring it actually feels like you're just reading out what's coming in new month with some jokes in between.

    Also more forum presence is definitely needed from your side. I also want to appreciate @KabamPinwheel here for two things.
    He always replies promptly to anythreada he can.
    And he also makes the environment positive if someone derails the thread, and even starts to attack him or kabam.

    6.9 million valiant here

    I sometimes look at the accounts in my neighborhood and I saw a 6.8 million paragon and a 6.8 million thronebreaker

    Those 2 accounts have at least 2 7* rank 3 champions so the champion requirement was already met, so it means story quest requirement wasn't met, it's not my position to ask those 2 players why you aren't doing the story quest

    Had a lot of questions in my mind when I saw those 2 accounts like how do you play until you reach 6.8 million rating for your account and still avoid story quest like a plague

    About progression shaming, I sometimes question the need for progressions when valiant don't mean a thing currently in the game and I don't think anyone can shame those 2 accounts with 6.8 million ratings

    I guess we have all kinds of players in this game and everyone play this game differently
  • JESUSCHRISTJESUSCHRIST Member Posts: 999 ★★★
    If you reach 6.8 million rating as a paragon or thronebreaker with 1300+ champions, my guess is some spending was involved

    Those 2 players probably spend money buying tonnes of crystals and have 1,300+ champions

    Maybe they don't enjoy playing difficult content like story quest but they like to collect champions or they just like Marvel stuff
  • JESUSCHRISTJESUSCHRIST Member Posts: 999 ★★★
    Like how Elon Musk was being publicly ridiculed for being a bad player in a particular game and a proven record of spending tonnes of money in that game due to the exclusive equipments he got

    He is so busy he ain't got time to play games but he did spend tonnes of money in that game so to the game developers, which is more important, the money of course

    There exist whales who spend lots of money in a game and yet they may not spend that much time playing the game bcos their time is far more valuable to them than their money (they are probably making millions a day but they only got 24 hours a day like you and me)

    These are the players who continue to fund a game yet they don't care about the actual situation of the game which is what you all are discussing right now

    All the complaints about banquet crystals and yet tonnes of banquet crystals were bought by whales bcos they don't care how expensive and how bad the banquet crystals were, they just got tonnes of money to spend and they want to spend it on Marvel related games

    Rating is irrelevant. 7+ mill here. I rather level up 1-6* champs than sell ISO or Catalyst...
    Yay I got a bunch of maxed champs I will never use.
    Its not about shaming. Its about knowing someone's place and maybe shutting up or being quiet when a person can't relate.
    Problems with the game? Sure talk about bugs, glitches, things like that affect everyone. Now a TB being critic about Valiant problems? Lol
    We only see things from our own perspective

    I realised that a lot of complaints come from valiants bcos valiants have progressed far ahead of the game, the game developers are playing catching up to this group of end game players

    For paragons and below they don't see the same problem bcos they haven't progressed that far ahead

    Valiants are a minority of the entire playerbase if you consider every player who login at least once a month

    Valiants will never agree that the game is ok right now even though to the majority of the playerbase, this game is alright simply bcos they haven't progressed to where the valiants have reached in the game

    A lot of games have the same end game problem when end game players have progressed far ahead of the game and the game developers are seriously lagging behind, this is not exclusive to Kabam alone

    Kabam's own fault on that issue. Cause remember its not Valiants getting TB rewards, its TBs getting Valiant rewards.
    Too many issues in the game as of now, being talked about on this post. No need for a TB to say Valiants are crying and derail this post that was going well. You and I are derailing it too with this interaction.
    I'm guessing the reasons why the game is in the current situation lies outside of the game itself

    Netmarble has been making a loss for 2 years and only recently made a small profit thanks to contributions from mcoc

    I'm guessing Kabam is being tightfisted bcos they want to sell more stuff and make more money rather than increase the free rewards obtainable through playing the game
  • JESUSCHRISTJESUSCHRIST Member Posts: 999 ★★★
    Many players have valid concerns but are extremely narrow sighted as to why the game is in the current state

    It's always about the money, sell more stuff yes, update the rewards no

    No amount of feedback will change the game

    Netmarble share price has fallen 28% in the last 6 months

    Kabam's CEO is a Korean who is answerable to Netmarble and Netmarble only

    Player's feedback will only go this far

    as the game grows in the number of modes, we run into the inherent problem of watered down rewards.

    kabam once said they want us to pick out what modes we do instead of doing it all but that comes with the problem of enthusiasts from each mode asking for buffs.

    if you and 29 mates are grinding your d**** off in battlegrounds all month, you expect some reasonable return on investment. same for war and AQ/raids.

    but if we expect every mode to be buffed to the max, we run out of 7* materials and get pushed faster into what's next. they could release 2 more amazing modes on top of what we already have and eventually they won't be worth doing either and some modes will suffer over others.

    kabam needs to address the staleness of BGs and EQ but there's also only so much they can do.

    I know there's quite an affinity for the former community team, so if there were actions from them that you really liked and want to see emulated, please feel free to let us know and we'll try to get that implemented....

    It just felt that they were just a lot more present than the current team, you included. Jax and Miike interacted, gave hints and congratulations and were basically the 'voice' of Kabam to the community.

    The comments a couple of days ago about reaching your quota (here) were kind of a hint that even when here, you're a relatively silent presence.

    It's not unusual for you to go 3-4 weeks without a single comment; even when you're on the forums.

    Not just you: it's now the norm for days and days to pass on the forum without any comment from any moderators.

    I know you've got other responsibilities, and there's more to being a community manager than interacting on a forum.

    But as a member of the community, I just don't feel particularly managed...

    Sometimes there isn't anything to add. I'm not saying there isn't more room for communication. It's a process of always improving. Still, one of the things that Miike constantly said was that the Forum is for us to communicate first and foremost, and that there are times where they're taking things in, but there's nothing to add at the moment. They can't reply to every Thread and concern.

    When was the last time they addressed any of this at all tho? I left for 5 months and somehow came back to BGs and EQ/SQ in a worse state than they were when I left and when I left it had already been close to a year since they had last addressed anything BGs or EQ/SQ related so at this point one does start to wonder are they trying to kill the game or what?
  • Gentsy12Gentsy12 Member Posts: 46
    Can’t remember the last time anything was said about BG, it truly feels like the abandoned game mode. EQ actually got mentioned, for the first time in probably in over a year, on this month’s livestream. They are releasing a beta of Valiant EQ in May but it won’t be permanent (at least to begin with)
  • Average_DesiAverage_Desi Member Posts: 1,442 ★★★★
    I mean, it's alright like, I do eq, push bg, and that's kind of it. Before, when I count get the latest Everest or endgame done easily, it was weeks of farming for each path. Now it's knocking out all the paths in a week or two.and then resting
