I used a token, beat a level, and spent 10 points ranking up masteries. When I exited the masteries page I ended up back on the main game screen. I entered again, and I have to restart? Progress doesn’t save? I used a token to do nothing except waste my time?
The in-game “tutorial” was useless. The info immediately disappeared. I had zero idea about what was happening. Am I watching a passive turn-based scroller? The way I “play” is to watch the waves and then pick power-ups just to watch the next set of waves?
I want to be as diplomatic and positive as I can while providing constructive criticism, so here goes…this “game” is a dumpster fire, and so far I’d rather walk blindfolded and barefoot across a room with Lego strewn across the floor than ever consider putting any resources into this new mode.
This is exactly what happen to me. On the Save and Next screen and they have masteries there so I thought yeah let me just go straight to upgrade my masteries and hit the next quest. I allocate all my points and hit the X thinking it would take me back to the quest screen and it closed the browser.... entered back in and masteries gone quest I completed, not complete, but my token was sure as hell gone. I reached out to support and they basically said it's my fault and next time make sure to hit the save and next button then go into masteries.... like wtf.... absolutely worse game design I have experience in a very very long time.
Crazy part is I kinda like the mode. I don't like it for MCoC, kinda feels like an one off after thoguht, but by itself I could see myself playing it when I'm at work or doing something that I can split my attention on but when that happened just completely turned me off... and to mention they made sure to monetize the mode but can't seem to be bothered asking or giving time to the engineers to implement basic features like confirmation popups... money grab all the way
Most people on here seem to dislike the game mode in general. I actually like the idea of the game mode. An iterative sim where control is in how you spec your masteries is fun to me. I think I have three primary complaints:
1. Limited entries per day - This game mode could have been a fun side event with ranked rewards and opportunities each week or something to reset masteries. Instead, we get 3 entries a day (unless we spend; more on that later). This is a mode that you can sit down on a lazy sunday and just grind away; except you can't. Limiting entries is a poor design decision for this type of game mode. 2. Monetized immediately - I understand the desire for ROI in your development, but the suite of game modes and content can be your monetization strategy; not every discrete piece of content. The whole "player time is not a resource" still rubs me the wrong way and adding something to the game other than arena that you can endlessly grind would be nice. I like spending time in the game and that "non-resource" is certainly valuable to me. It would be nice to have an adjacent game mode that allowed for endless grinding when I just don't feel like doing something else other than arena. 3. Heavy rewards at launch - You have made the game mode necessary through the addition of the Mr. F tokens (forget what they are called) and a significant amount of shards. How do you expect to get good feedback on the mode if you artificially inflate the numbers by adding rewards that are necessary on another reward path? And adding a titan which is still significant to end game players? It feels like you will do the launch, have a bunch of players because of the rewards, no one will like it, you will see the data said everyone played it, iterate into another version with less rewards, and no one will play it because the rewards won't be near as good, and the mode as an alternative to side quests will die. Ultimately, wasted effort (unless you really do have enough people paying for the tickets that you offset dev time and overhead?; feels unlikely).
I don't know. It feels super close to something I would look forward to playing and a real opportunity to take the IP you work with and develop some adjacent modes/games to really make an ecosystem of sorts for Marvel characters. I just wish it hadn't been so Netmarblized from the jump and that the idea of a Rogue Lite wasn't bastardized.
So will there be any response regarding bug with a number of people losing tokens because of the infinite black screen in Doom Cycle after completing a chapter? Or the game team just decided to ignore the issue altogether?
anyone else get unauthorized messages when you click the link it did it to me yesterday and i had to wait until later and try again but its a pain when i click the link and it tells me me im unauthorized for some reason
Let me be honest everybody is playing this mode just because of rewards, and I have issue with game not saving my progression even after trying so many times, i have completed shattered mode 6 times and in objective it still showing 2 times, so just tell me why should i waste my time on this if i am not getting any reward.
Knowing Kabam, I definitely know there will be some bugs and issues regarding this mode, but even after 3-4 days they are not resolving it. and in support they are saying it's my fault.
I don't know if this has been said or not, but I"m not reading through all of them, but this mode makes my phone super hot. It's a Pixel 9 pro and nothing has heated it up since I've got it. But after just a few minutes of this mode it's burning up.
I have accidentally closed the browser a few times, losing all of the mastery points and progress in this game mode. Very frustrating.
I know it's my fault, but in the main game, an X closes the current window, so it's like muscle memory. Worried I might not have enough entries or mastery points to complete all of the objectives now
Well, I used the free tickets to buy the replay tokens and then got through story mode. Have done one shatter run. All the free goes are shatter mode now for the doombots
So if we accidentally hit that bloody "X" instead of the save and next button you lose the run and the mastery points? Also instead of USE torch or one of the other F4 you have to complete shatter mode with that champ to get the credit even though use and complete are to different things!?

Kudos for finally coming up with an MSD proof game mode tho.

It was painful to sit there surviving rounds and then brainstorming masteries.
Positive thing: Three less days of pain, with the help of 80 tickets comp.
