INCOMING BUG FIX:
We'll fixing an issue with the Side Quests where all difficulties had the same Selector rewards.
We've fixed the Selectors in Threat Levels 4, 3, 2 and 1 to no longer contain rewards for Progression levels above the target audience.
Threat Level 4 rewards cap out at Thronebreaker
Threat Level 3 caps out at Cavalier
Threat Level 2 caps out at Uncollected
And Threat Level 1 has rewards for Proven

Exactly! If your circle consists entirely of grumpy old men, there may appear to be a consensus that kids should get off of lawns. Other lawn owners may vary.
The easy solution is to bracket rewards based on your prestige. There is no way that a generic package is going to do what they said they wanted it to. I guarantee you that a level 60 player missed out on far more rewards then a level 40 player. If they don't address this then they are completely ignoring the rules they set down for themselves.
That's backwards in two ways. First, if you want to demonstrate that the forums trigger actions from Kabam, you have to look at whether forum complaints correlate to actions, not the reverse. Since the forums complain about a lot of things, it is uninteresting if every time Kabam acts the forums were complaining about something. The interesting question would be how often when the forums express widespread dissatisfaction does Kabam act. And the answer is: not very often. In fact, the one big win everyone tries to claim is 12.0, but if you look at 12.0 objectively the forums were complaining about a lot of things, and almost *none* of them were actually reversed in 12.0.1. Kabam reacted strategically to a very narrow set of issues, many of which were not the ones being complained about the most.
But second, whether Kabam reacts to forum complaints has no bearing on whether or not they are a representative sample of the playerbase. And on this I have a lot to go on. Online games often do focus group testing, where they select random samples of players to represent the playerbase, and these samples are far more likely to be representative because they are chosen "blind" which is to say they are selected without knowing their opinions ahead of time, and only by picking random samples of different demographics of players (gender, age, player engagement, etc). I've been involved with those in the past. What surprised me the most is how completely different the perspectives are in these groups compared to what you find in online discussion groups. I've been told this is the norm across the industry.
I've been involved with enough online games and online game communities to know that there are huge pockets of differing opinions, most of which are never expressed on the forums because most people don't want to. If this is something you don't know, then you should understand that the way we look at global, as a toxic noisy ooze, is how most regular players see both the forums and the reddit. And that's 90%+ of the players.
Since adding a week would extend the summoner appreciation event by a week, this sounds like it has the potential to create Summoner Appreciation Epoch.
Ye I agree here
And for those that it matters most to, who were either directly affected on their devices (or STILL are affected) and the guys in their alliances, it’s not enough and still insulting that they thought it was. They went into a meeting and whatever they looked at, decided that this was the best way, and that’s where the problem and the disconnect is.
And I’ll say this much: If they don’t change a thing about this decision, and the packages rollout Friday and are as pitiful as we are expecting, and during the week of appreciation there’s continued game crashing and outages, the reaction here will only continue to boil and possibly explode. And this is the situation that Kabam created, chose not to fix or address when they had the chance, and will solely own.
People complained about the Sentinels and Kabam did exactly nothing. Only after a lot of gameplay clearly showed that players were having an order of magnitude more difficulty than anticipated did they reduce their difficulty. The change was so dramatic that the signal showed up unambiguously in AQ weekly rankings two weeks in a row. And they did not, and still have not, reduced how many of them there are, completely ignoring complaints about them being repetitious.
Although I can agree with parts of this it does raise valid concerns..
It's none of my business what someone spends their money on..
The question is would they still spend if they knew SA tied into Compensation for all the serious issues 19 update created..
I played along time before ever setting foot on the forum, I never watched youtube videos about it, As far as I was concerned I was playing a mobile gaming app and that was that..
As you stated "most players do not want to, and do not actively participate in public conversation about the game" So all them players (F2P and/or spenders) that don't keep up with the game outside the game only have this to go on..
I'm counting the use of the word "Gift" 11 times..
Not a single mention of Compensation or the 19 update contained within the message at all..
As far as SA goes I really don't care (it would have been nice to have something for players farther along in the game but it is what it is)
The idea of the 7 hour crystal is ridiculous with the game being as unstable as it is (Thoughs that can't login due to server issues will be asking for compensation yet again so it causes more problems)
The Compensation/Gift is completely inadequate for all the problems caused by 19..
A generic slice of pie was never going to cut it for all players level 6-60..
When informing players in Global their Gift is also their Compensation, I've been called (stupid, an idiot and a troll) I've been asked if I bought my ac as no one my level should be making such pathetic and annoying statements and I've been told to learn the difference between SA and Compensation..
It's only when other players have stated "he's right, kabam are saying it's compensation" has the anger and aggression turned to the fact this has been handled so damn poorly and the Compensation/Gift is in no way enough for the problems caused..
Well for it to be called compensation they’d have to admit fault and there never gonna do that
1) no, it isn’t a favour. It is also not something to be a little **** about. They gave a repsonse. Whether or not you like it is up to you.
2) grand assumption apparently that I do not value myself, and apparently you know how I feel. Posing an opinion not yours should therefore not be done I guess.
3) why would I mention those? What did they have to do with anything related to a message posted by a moderator?
4) sarcasm? Where did I say you should feel humbled? I said they acknowledged the thread and the concerns. Not that you should be all giddy with joy.
5) yes, I will call it a rant. It was just lashing out for the sake of lashing out.
Now... I’m going to go ahead and assume you think me a troll, as well as ranting, because based on your own assumptions, I guess this is just that. You’re not the only chuckling, I had a good belly laugh at this response.
Do some breathing excercises or something, find some peace.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion obviously. Positive or negative. Am I okay with the compensation as offered at the moment? I’m not NOT okay with it. Could it have been better? Most definitely. Should it need to 12.0 level compensations? Nowhere near. Are people taking things way, way too seriously in regards to a game? In my opinion, definitely.
Would I like to see the compensation adjusted? I most assuredly wouldn’t mind. Will I lose sleep if it doesn’t happen? Most definitely not.
Will shooting the messengers have any positive effect? I think not. It might lower your body temp some, but it won’t be any more than that. There is nothing to be gained from being the abbreviation to Richard.
How sweet.
Unfortunately for you, I’m very much not triggered. It saddens me a little that any opposing view in your eyes comes from someone who’s triggered or wrong. As you said, they’re opinions. When did mine become any less than yours?
Its gonna be huge!
At this rate it's going to be about half an hour
#SummonerAppreciationNanosecond?
Perfect! @Kabam Miike @Kabam Lyra this guys has a brilliant idea! Maybe you guys should change our energy timers to 30 minutes instead of 6. That would be a great way to compensate... I mean appreciate us.
