Yeah, I believe the problem shown in the video is one that was accidentally introduced with 17.2. Happened to me 3 times in AW yesterday, all when dex-ing specials -- champ becomes completely unresponsive. Have never experienced it before. Many of our alli members are reporting the same. iPad Pro 10.5 here.
Kinda funny the so called bugs we face, as far as im concerned, its all working as intended.
So what you're saying is that your playing style was already to release your blocks in middle of opponents combo and get stuck in mud instead of using evade? That's the only way somebody could think this game is working properly... I swear this forum is flooded with trolls payed by kabam.
This just happened again in AQ about 15 minutes ago. 6 seconds into the video I parry and right as I begin the combo, Thor does nothing, the Symbioid comes out the stun and nails me.
Thank you for this video. We didn't need "proof" as we have been looking into this already. Unfortunately, this video doesn't actually give us much information. What we need is more information on your device, if you have the ability to give us that.
Model Number is a great start, but also things like, what settings you have enabled (are there any power saving settings on? Do you have "game settings" on your device?), how long you had been playing, what else was happening in the background on your device when this happened, etc.
I have had several player freezes since the update different than the evade or blocks. Noticeably against Hood and symbiods in AQ. My character would not respond to any movements. Just stood still for several seconds until the opponent attacked. I am still getting "stuck in the mud" reacting to specials which happened before the update. The responsiveness has gotten worse since this update.
iphone 6s.
Multiple fights in act 5.4.2 just now. DV, Magik, Rulk used. Versus a variety of champs. Most obvious issue: after a succesful Parry, My champs dash back instead of attacking. Other issues: losing block, general unresponsiveness, specials not activating, etcetera. All in all, not a lot of fun. Called it a day again.
iPhone X, latest everything, zero background applications. No browser, no Game Center, no downloads, no IM apps, no mail. Just nada, zip, zilch. On my home 5G connection. At office earlier, 2.4 connection, same ****.
I am tired of being forced to spend on revives and potions because a basic mechanic like BLOCK does NOT work or works when it wants to! I have played all kinds of fighting games from Mortal Kombat to Street fighter to Marvel Future Fight to mobile Injustice God's Among Us......NONE OF THEM SUFFER FROM repeated inconsistencies of basic core fighting mechanics.
Your AI counter parries before the stun timer expires,
It blocks mid-combo when attempting to string a special in a combo
It punches through my block when I am clearly holding down left side of my device.
It strings on hits to my combos with ZERO delay
IT can be upside down in middle of a MISSED hit and activates a special 1
I have been playing this game for over 3 years.....there's NO excuse for basic mechanics like blocking to have issues! This is a fighting game the functions NEED to work.
Every AQ , hard event and War becomes worse and worse! There's NO need for video evidence, Kabam YOU know about these issues multiple threads from your customers have complained. It matters not what device we use....there's YouTube videos clearly documenting these issues " WE are working on it" is NOT an acceptable answer for a game that has made MILLIONS of dollars and is well past the 1st stage if it's lifespan. Do something about these issues and stop ignoring the issues and FIX them!
You guys are real quick to shut down game for "Emergency Maintenance" to fix exploits that help the player.....how about you fix the issues that screw us over in some REASONABLE amount of time .......a year has passed and these issues have gotten worse. Either you DONT QA your products as well as you have us believe or you don't care! Fix this poop!
These exact issues are also happening for me. Why is this so hard for KABAM to figure out? It's a direct function of the AI changes that you have implemented over the last several updates.
So much less stress now that i took a step back from playing once gameplay went to trash with no resolutions in sight. I’m not having to play all the time to hold up my part to my alliance in a game that’s cheating me. I guess they still have no idea what’s causing it so until they do id recommend quitting and saving that money/inventory until the game is properly repaired.
Kabam should have their programmers talk to the Devs of Skullgirls Mobile. That game sucked in a lot of ways but at least the AI and controls were consistent.

Device: Samsung Galaxy S8+
Carrier: Verizon
OS: Android 8.0 Oreo
Connection: WiFi & 4G Data
Details: I never have any other apps open while playing. I've deleted the mcoc app, re-installed, cleared cache.
I've been playing this game for 2 years, I am uncollected, I am skilled I know what i'm doing in this game if that's why you asked. I'm very familiar with the mechanics of the game. I've had my phone for over 1 year and this game has worked just fine up until this late update. I have had this issue before, but went away pretty quickly. With the last update, this happens daily, almost every fight.

This has happened to me 20 times in the past few days, sometimes when in the middle of a combo but mostly when trying to start a combo with a forward dash.
No.i have the same problem regardless of how long I'd been playing and how hot my phone/tablet was running. I have nothing else running and makes no difference whether charging or not. It's been pointed out that my moto g4 plus is too old and might be the problem and so is my Samsung s2 10 tablet but we've had everything on here up to iPhone x all having the same problems. Both my devices are up to date
I've just recently(past 2 weeks) have been experiencing consistent loss of input and my champs missing blocks&combos nearly each and every fight. At 1st chalked it up to my phone acting up, but realized that the missed combos were very consistent where the 3rd and 4th hit sequence(approx. 90% of times with rest being 2nd hit) would not trigger and my champ stood still even as I'm rapidly pressing an attack input. Anyone else notice any similar consistencies? I would assume it should be more random if something was screwy with my phone.

I've passed this video on to the team as well.
I'm curious as to what you're implying with "we didn't need "proof"....." Kabam Wolf in a response requested that folks post ANY videos people might have on this. Has posting video changed from being a necessity to investigate to more of an "annoyance"?
Also, maybe it's just me, but this whole "give us your device information" merry go round has been worn out. Wouldn't it side with professionalism if your team investigated from their side(beginning with program engineering) a test pool of the most popular/most sold models across carriers that are capable of running the game as opposed to trying to "isolate" the issue onto a handful of models that get reported on the forums?
I'm sorry but TBQH, since I've joined in the forum discussions last year, the majority of responses and communication or lack there of is more akin to a "garage based app developer" than a reputable multi million dollar company.
I've also noticed that the response time following a successful party is longer now. Following a parry, it takes longer for my champ to respond to attack inputs.

Seriously? Why are you being rude saying "We didn't need proof?" That's a new low. Its gone from asking for device information to asking about power saving & other settings... Don't try shift the blame to us, we're not delusional. Accept that there is a Massive problem on your side and fix it.

• Room temperature was comfy, probably around 20 degrees Celsius (~68 F)
• I had zero applications running
• I just restarted MCOC, so it was the first fight
• I had no outstanding help requests
• I sat at my desk, which is made out of wood and a bit egg-shaped
• There was a small statue of Jesus on said desk, smiling beatifically

Just wanna tell soms ios users not to think their seperate thread talking about ios was closed so fast and they were directed here. Android always goes through the same problems meaning they might be trying to make sure everyone is sorted out at once when they fix them.
Samsung galaxy s6 android 7.0 experiencing problems as well.
i am having an iPhone X and i got fed up that i uninstalled the game.installed it again and did factory reset to my iPhone X nothing's working....all it worked is my internet got over!!!
Phew... I thought I am the only one experiencing this problem or my iPhone 6 is ready to be a non-gaming phone once and for all
Was doing some random arena after updating to iOS 11.3, iPhone 6, latest version of Game and my champ doesn't block at all.... After repetitive tapping the action is registered and then the move occurs.
5* arena, Original DD vs Captain America.
Phone details as said above and no I do not have any background apps running or low battery or heated phone
So many people in jail. I got my 1st warning..A bit DRACONIC dont you think? Laughable really.
In the grand scheme of things, transparency (not just claiming it, but acting upon it) and a customer-centric approach tend to pay off way better than trying to silence paying customers who have genuine (and well documented) concerns.
As far as I can tell, hardly any of the potentially game breaking issues ever get beyond the ‘we’re investigating it’ stage. Worse, players are kept in the dark for months on end. This thread is probably the best example. Others include AW synergies, inequity (expensive, malfunctioning mastery), pure skill (likewise), and various champ specific issues. If you add all those things up, it’s perfectly understandable customers either become non-customers or become more vocal in voicing their complaints. After all, even though it’s technically free to play, many players pour significant amounts of money into it.
If you compare the severity of the issues to a game like Call of Duty or Battlefield; we’re send into the war with second hand guns that just may fire once in a while, and our soldiers may or may not be able to duck, go prone, sprint or use cover. The enemy, meanwhile, are in tanks that travel at light speed, fully decked out with nuclear missiles that automatically lock-on.
Among all the other issues stated we all experience. Does this happen to anyone else. On hard content whether it be event quests or story quests. Basically anything items are required to hen the fight starts it lags every time when running at each other preventing us from blocking or even evading. Then when enemy fires off a special it get real glitchy resulted in same thing. Arena no problem what so ever. I have noticed this for some time now and just wondered if I was alone. Honestly considering how long this thread has gone on and the lack of customer service I think it’s time to take it to the app review and also inform apple and google.

How is it possible that we keep being told that "nothing has changed" and that the problem is our connections and phones yet they've made (and clearly making) overhauls to the entire game's combat mechanics???
It's so obvious that we're not being given a fair clean game. The AI is being given every massive advantage possible and we're having to play with broken controls and nerfed mechanics. What a way to treat customers.
