Flurry of changes…hiding bait and switch

If I’m being honest, it’s really hard not feel like you (Kabam design decision makers) are trying to hide the fact or get us not to notice, what you took out of the rewards/game while every one is focused on what’s in the rewards.

You have removed or seriously reduced a lot of what we need over the last year or so. Stuff that has been there in the routine for resources needed to play the game and enjoy it.

Removed revive farming and told us there plenty of revives elsewhere.

Now you have removed energy refills?

Reduced or removed units from rewards and claim they are somewhere else.

All while further designing content to use units/revives/health pots regardless of what champ you sell us.

What else are we missing here in all the smoke mirrors of changes?

You do want us to actually be able to play the game right? And actually able to enjoy it right?

We need energy man.

Not really. I have 17 overflowing energy and it's not to show off but to tell you the truth iv already done their Monthly EQ elder 1 and got rewards for the normal ones and now I HAVE NOTHING TO US EMY ENERGY. except the daily quest which iv already done in the morning Auto fighting. Usually previously I always was able to use energy in lower EQ to auto farm units but now they are in daily. Basically I think Kabam wanted the hassle of the game to be over and make content compressed like new EQ and I think they got it. I think the rewards for EQ need buff for the difficulty but energy refills are not needed honestly. AND I ALSO am someone who opens 4 hour crystal daily and I'm getting a lot of refills like 3-4 every week by opening them there. Go check it out . Again there's not much content to use energy anymore.

I have only played the game for a year, but revives and units are nice to farm with the new daily quest setup. You get 6/10 L1/L2 revives and 360 units per week doing dailies quests and super events.

As for energy, I don’t believe Kabam has responded to the community’s concern about energy which probably means Kabam is changing energy given out per week.

In true Kabam dork fashion, I would say - “We are losing the energy to play this game”

@Montycarlo …folks who play BG really need energy when eldermarks are gone and all the content is done. It’s been like this forever. The rest of the folks that don’t play much during the week may have a weeks worth sitting around when they go to play something. But others will still be looking at where’s my energy.

And the energy is just one example. This new design is meant to monetize refills, revives and potions all over again. They did it in war and AQ years ago now it’s into questing. They want folks to spend units to play.

You used to be able to have a healthy stash of units , positions, revives and refills simply by playing actively and now every change they make appears to be attacking what folks are used to storing… likely because some AI data analytics are telling them there are too many resources being hoarded that prevents folks from spending. So they are strategically attacking and removing the way we earn and hoard these resources.

I like to assume positive intent on changes …it just doesn’t feel that way.

You now have to decide if you have enough potions, units and refills to even attempt a piece of content now..regardless of your roster. No amount of champion rank ups will change that. All current content designs are attacking your resources more than ever before

You don't know what bait and switch is. Kabam is not responsible for giving you all the resources you need to play the game for free. As Valiant, I regularly had close to 30 energy refills in overflow. I was selling them constantly. The units are in the daily quests.

Refills is definitely a pain point. The team definitely knows about it, hopefully they add something to alleviate it.

metaphorically speaking kiddo.. I’m pretty sure I have underwear older than you and know what a bait and switch means. Also know what smoke and mirrors and the art of distraction while performing illusions is. May be think a bit more about your response before attacking the posters in this community and saying someone doesn’t know what something is or they don’t know what they are talking about . One thing you will learn as you grow up is a lot of peoples experiences are different and unique to their situation and in this game , unique to their account, you can’t assume every one has the same experience as you. ‘As a valiant player that has so much energy’ …I’m also valiant since the first week it was available, I’ve been here for 10 yrs , I currently have plenty of energy, I see the writing on the wall…you lovely forum trolls come and go and think you know it all…ever wonder why folks don’t come here to these toxic forums? To avoid the trolls like you posting in threads, unnecessarily making them longer while adding no real value to the topic, attacking visitors in the community to make yourself feel good in your little internet bubble pretending to know it all while talking trash to the other players. Move on down the the road bro. Next time you want to post your opinion, do this community a favor and just close the window and go touch some grass. Thanks for reminding me why not to visit forums though I forgot about the kids like you lurking here.

Wow, what a toxic reply from the enlightened original poster.

Your original post, while describing smoke and mirrors sure, is in no way a description of bait and switch. Getting called out for it is completely valid as you claimed something that was not true, which made you look less educated on the matter.

If you have underwear older than Demonzfyre then that is very disturbing, as no amount of special care would have that underwear in a state that should still be worn.
