**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event

**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

WHY NO Rank Down Tickets for MYSTIC CHAMPIONS???

Well you’re the one assuming pretty much everything in that statement, I think that makes you naive. I’m just thinking realistically.
True, but it's such a tiny percent of her value that it's irrelevant. Like a billionaire losing 10 bucks
Those are nothing like this. Cars and DVRs aren’t an online game that must be fluid in order to maintain a player base. If I bought a car solely for a speed I would rarely get to go, I would be an idiot, and if I bought a DVR, I would be living at least a decade ago.
Wouldnt have to give back all resources to keep people happy but they do have to compensate in some way.
I don’t agree with rank downs either. Tbh, they seem pointless, casual players probably won’t see the need to use them because it doesn’t matter, and competitive players should imo be able to get the resources together rather quick anyway.
not of her value of defense, of her overall value
I hate to see players penalized for an extremely unselfish act. Using t5B to max a defender to help your ally should be rewarded, especially when 90% of players only max attackers.
I wouldn’t be against players with maxed Dorms, etc. being able to make another choice since they will now be handicapped.
Blade and several other champs have changed the meta for war. Years ago, many players cried daily about magiks, dorms, etc and mystic wars as a whole. Then came diversity and these new champs. Mystic dispersion problem=solved. This md change doesn't do anything to the game meta except devalue the few mystic defenders you have left that are worthy of defensive placement. That's it. Nothing more.
It doesn't matter if you (wrongly) call it a bug or say "it's their game, they can do what they want" or "hey man, stuff changes".... Players invested in champs that are now devalued. The argument that they will still work similarly on offense is also an invalid one bc it doesn't answer to the actual issue... That people smartly used rare resources based on game meta that is now being changed.
When diversity first reared its head, the kabam statement in regards to rdt was that they were not warranted bc champs weren't designed to be good defenders or attackers. They just "were" whatever they were. The old mephisto spotlight, the korg spotlight, and a few other comments have effectively proven that previous kabam statement to be either outdated or completely untrue.
In the end, this is really just letting a game go in a certain direction and then moving the goal posts. And I'm not trying to bash kabam, but I am looking at a long history of similar moves... And if you're being honest and unbiased, you see it as well.
I applaud kabam for the md compensation package and for the fact they explained it early. I was worried they'd skip it altogether. But as nice as the compensation is, it doesn't answer the overall issues. Being fair with the player base will always end up profiting a company more than nickel and diming them.
This compensation followed the example set by the willpower change, but nobody ranked champs because of willpower. It didn't effect a specific set of champs. MD does and is totally different. It has always been the best of the class specific masteries and because of that, made mystics more worth the rank. Mystic rdt are warranted.
But people ranked her solely for defence mate.
Its a huge nerf mate. U cant look at masteries as seperate from champs as alot of them have very specific uses. Alot if people ranked mystic champs because if this mechanic. Kabam new this was a problem from the start and there was such an easy fix and thats was take away the crit boost from level 1 dex. Thats all they had to do. But no kabam being kabamed kept the cash cow going until now and it aint even overly needed anymore. They have watched so many people put seriously scarce resource into these champs for well over a year
Guessing you haven’t seen the videos of her clearing the labyrinth.
This is just another thing on a long list of things kabam has done to us and soon will be lost in an ever growing list.
Kabam makes a great deal of money from this game and if they knew how to treat customers they would be making a great deal more, it’s a shame the ceo and upper management can’t see the posts as I think they would be shocked.
Great work kabam minions, give your selfs a pat on the back as no one else would do it .
Earlier this year Kabam Miike said that MCOC content goes through the development process long before it gets released, the example he used was how Infinity Dungeons was thought up last year when The Collector was still running the contest. That means the MD/dexterity beta testing was most likely being strongly considered before AW Seasons was announced. Instead of announcing the MD/dexterity beta testing before AW Seasons started we got the announcement just before AW Season 2 ended.
The timing of events mentioned in this post gives credibility to the perspective that Kabam intentionally delayed announcing MD/dexterity beta testing after AW Seasons had been around for months. And now we're told that refunding very exclusive in-game resources like 5* awakening gems and issuing mystic/champion specific rank down tickets are not immediately being considered. This situation has similarities to Kabam's recent idea to remove AW defender diversity, the difference being that Kabam hasn't changed their mind because not enough big spenders have said there will be consequences if they don't.
sure, and people rank blade for defense. Doesn't mean that's where the value is
Who ranked a blade for defense?
5/65 Blade can be rough on node 24 in tier 1-3 AW
actually i would say blade is probably a better defender then MS at this point in the game. But both are far better offensive champs then defensive
If they chose to do it a year ago, people would have still reacted to it. They didn't have any plans to do so, until they decided to look at it. The fact is, they're the ones designing the game.
So you're telling me blade is better than MS ln defense? I must no nothing about this game, must be why I seen so many blades on the boss node.
Tldr: rdt for md? LOL
Yeah and the forum is where players come to air their grievances with how the game evolves. Once again they let a broken concept linger for way too long and players were forced to adapt to it and then they pull the rug out. It’s a trashy way to treat people considering how ridiculous the asking price is on rank up materials, AGs and GMCs. You would think eventually the company would entertain a business model that doesn't cause the majority of the player base feeing screwed time and time again, it doesn't have to always be like this.
Almost every champion gets soloed as a main boss in higher tiers. Hyperion gets destroyed on most nodes but he's an excellent defender on node 29. Same goes for Blade on nodes like 24. Sentinel on node 30 is another example of a defender being suited for specific nodes.
Replace summoners with pilots and your argument is more convincing
He's a good defender... but nobody (or at least 99% of ppl) got blade, duped him, and said "oh man I'm gonna r4/5 him to throw on defense". Yet they have done that with mystics over and over bc of md.

Yes i have mate but ur tellung me everyone ranked her for that? Im nit saying everyone ranked her for defence but alot did. Kabam just takes liberties time and again and get away with it because it affects people in very different ways. People need to think of everyones position and stop giving kabam an out for stuff that is just blatant. It might not affect u but their next change really could. The only time we ever got treated with some sort if fairness was the 12.0 neef because too many were hugely affected.
You would not be happy if you used ges,rank ups etc on a champ solely for defence who is now useless.might not be as unhappy as some as its all personal but if we all stick together on logical things we can maybe get treated better. Or we could just do kabams job for them and dismiss others with real legitimate concerns
