Please turn this around Kabam

It’s been a few months since I made a thread talking about the state of mcoc and how the game is constantly behind where it should be in terms of updates, but I feel like community sentiment has now hit another all time low and I haven’t seen this many mad people since the arc 6 fiasco that led to the roadmap.
I definitely think it’s time for another big transparent post that addresses everything and lays some kind of roadmap out. Not to say it solves everything, but it’s always a good start.
We’re about 4 months in to 2025 and the game is in a state that I can’t even defend anymore. Practically everything is released incredibly bugged, rewards updates are still awful and the battlegrounds post was enough to piss off the community more, nightmare raids was a bad launch, and the community has been asking for months to be heard and it just doesn’t seem to be getting through, especially since massive content creators have made incredibly detailed videos on what’s wrong right now
Not to say that everything’s been wrong this year, I still very much appreciate the big endgame content drops, the new champs have been great for the most part and that team is doing fantastic as always, and I still do have some fun. I just think we need to know what’s gonna happen from here
I’ve already gone over BG rewards and structure in my last post but we haven’t made any progress since then. I’m cautiously optimistic for the changes coming but again, we know nothing. The issue is that this should have happened months ago anyway. The people at the top have been complaining how outdated the rewards are and they’ve been left in an awful state for a while. Not to mention the node combos have also been incredibly uninspired
I know we get news of valiant EQ maybe coming but again, this is so late. Everything feels so late. It feels like we reach the absolute breaking point where everyone’s tired of the current content and then something drops that immediately becomes outdated in a few months because it dropped so late into the lifespan
I’m glad to see transparency about the AI even if I don’t think anything will come of it. We’ve been hearing about this for years now and it’s still in the same place. What’s worse are the bugs with every content release or every update. Look, I understand how hard it is to operate a live service game and I’ve always defended Kabam here but it’s been kinda absurd this year compared to the usual. I’m really hoping it’s just a rough start to the year and they get their stuff together but since banquet it feels like it’s been on the buggier side of the games lifespan. I still remember when my phone could cook an egg on it while playing Mcoc though so we haven’t hit that point yet
AQ is still boring but I guess the glory store is alright. AW is whatever to me and I’ve never found it worth playing. I still do love when act content and endgame content drops and I’ve had little issue with the recent stuff like ordeal. Even that being said, the last act content drop was incredibly disappointing because it felt like a slog. Not difficult or challenging, just a slog. I feel like this describes what a lot of the game has become now
I feel like the loyalty store and incursions stuff should’ve also been upgraded months ago to encourage us to chase for something, but they’re still stagnant as well. We’re still doing the same SQ store months later and it doesn’t feel as good now, especially with how stale SQ content has been. This isn’t as big because I know we got news that they would be staying the same for a while (but I still think it’s a bad decision).
The batch updates aren’t that exciting to me because we have to wait forever to see a champ at a tune up. Patriot came out July last year and won’t be seeing the light of day until august which is absurd. On top of that, the crystal cadence is also crazy bad and we aren’t gonna be seeing a lot of champs in the basics for a long while
Lastly, I wanted to bring up the state of the forums here anyway because I think it’s sad. The community here definitely feels wild and unmoderated for the most part compared to last year. I like using discord but this has been brought up time and time again that there needs to be better communication on the forums as well. The issue is it even feels like the CCP creators aren’t being heard out with constant videos on how x or y needs work and so it feels like nothing works in the end
So yeah, sad to see how the game has been doing this year. I’m trying to be as constructive as possible because I still love this game and I’ve been playing for years now. Please improve your communication, please get rewards updated in a timely manner, please maybe fix the AI within the next decade, and please make some big post that shows we’re being heard. I feel like this is definitely going to lead to the lowest community sentiment since the old boycott stuff and I’m not excited for it, I just want some changes

But I will never forgive them for this nightmare mess.
Login -> Claim Rewards -> AW for my guys in the alliance -> AQ for the chips -> 1 BG’s match -> Touch Grass
They literally used a reveal slot to announce a team screen change that made em look like they were practicing social distancing during covid.
Then that infamous livestream full of paywall locked rewards came and ever since it's just complaint after complaint, day after day. I joined the forums back in 2019, it's been six years and I have never seen so much negativity (and for good reason) on these forums.
Point being the weaker aspects of mcoc need to at least be brought up to par so that that stronger aspects have more room to shine.
