Parry Core refund

I have to say I really like what Kabam did here. I always found it strange that the basic mastery costed "a lot of" units for beginners. I know they didnt do it for beginners but I like the result.

On and I will take the 411 free units on the 26th feb as well. Very cool.

Greetings Summoners,

Thanks to reports from within the Community, we have identified a discrepancy between the in-game description and the functionality of the Parry Mastery.

The Parry Mastery does not provide a bonus to the base Stun Duration past what you receive at Rank 1. Ranks 2 and 3 provide a longer potential Stun Duration that increases with your Perfect Block chance. Ranks 2 and 3 also reduce the amount of damage taken when a Parry is performed, per the in-game description.

The in-game description will be updated to the following to clarify this functionality:

“A well-timed Block right when attacked reduces damage by an additional 15%/20%/25%. If contact is made by basic attacks, inflict a Stun Debuff for 1 second(s). Stun duration increases by up to 0.5/0.7/1.0 second(s) with Perfect Block Chance.”

All Combat in the game is balanced around the duration of the Stun received from Parry, and we cannot extend the duration of the stun to match the current in-game description without severely changing the balance of the game.

Please note that the bonus Stun Duration provided by Stupefy is working as intended.

We want to give all players who chose to invest in Parry the ability to change their minds and to allocate those points where they please. Starting today, the Parry Mastery will no longer cost Stony Mastery cores, and the Unit Cost of those cores will be refunded to all Summoners that invested in Ranks 2 and 3. Rank 1 was already previously refunded.

We plan to refund the Mastery Core costs to Summoners before February 26th and will give all Summoners a chance to reset their Masteries for free between February 19th and 26th.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we worked to resolve this issue.

All those words and “sorry” isn’t even one of them. Customer service lessons are sorely needed at Kabam.

Can the description clarify whether the increased stun duration is based on “base block proficiency” or “current block proficiency” (synergies, in fight abilities, masteries, etc).

Actually neither. Block Proficiency is different from Perfect Block chance. 2 different Masteries, and 2 different internal values (and/or abilities) that champs have, and different synergies.

Parry Time is affected by the Perfect Block one, not the Block Proficiency one.

This is the second time they had to update the Description and nothing has changed about Parry. Apologizing for what? Interpretation isn't something they can always account for. Especially when needs change based on new content and new Champs added.

You don't trust them to correct the description and refund the units? Pretty sure they will lol

Seraphion

Some ppl are never happy lol.

We have 0 downsides on this one.

Pros:

Swap around your mastery until the 26th feb for free

Get 3 cores worth of units back (405)

New players can unluck parry faster

Cons:
None bc parry was not changed.

Yet ppl are somehow still unhappy

Anyone else not receive their units yet? I’ve just checked and I had it maxed out, perhaps they are giving them out later or?

Erik_Killmonger1001

In game mail says you have until 26th feb to rank up (not unlock) your masteries for free so if you want to change your set up as a result of this clarification you can after that is over units will be given out

Seraphion

Do we just need 1 mastery point in Parry now? As putting another 2 wont make a big difference?x

Better put 3 into it. The damage even on parries gets pretty high when you tackle V1-4 or act 6

Why not just make masteries free, as masteries are different when we play AW, AQ, quests, and arenas. either that or make 2 different masteries that we select on which to use on different ventures.

Because people playing hight tier wars are constantly changing their masteries every time they place defence.
If it was free they wouldn't need units and kabam wouldn't get any money.

It's all about the $

They are working on more mastery pages btw
