I think that’s a bad and unfulfilling path to go down. Coming only from my own experience, I use to play destiny avidly. When destiny 2 came out, they catered to the new player and lost most of the player base including myself.
I’m gonna get disagreed with for this but, people want to feel “elite” or unique”. That’s just the truth. When you finish a variant what’s the first thing most people do? Flex their rewards and the fact that they completed it. When you first clear abyss what is the first thing you do for the most part? Flex the title. The one thing this games has always done great with is the sense of euphoria from a great pull, and the sense of accomplishment from clearing big content. Maybe some payouts for said content are underwhelming, but without the lows the highs wouldn’t feel so high.
I don’t agree or like every choice that Kabam makes. But for the most part I can’t hate on their decisions because I’m still here playing after 4 years. I think people need to slow their pace down and stop trying to emulate the seatins, and lagacys of the world. If you do that you might just find that the game more enjoyable.
In terms of the admins, they are a welcome presence if they're actually sharing insights or at least providing acknowledgement that they are paying attention to the threads. However I do agree, sometimes, legit posts pointing out a bug or a flaw in their logic/argument gets deleted and ppl get warned/banned as a result, without any explanation. That is certainly extremely dictatorial and not conducive for us to voice our thoughts and opinions freely here. On the flip side, I don't know why completely derailing posts as we've seen in this thread are just left here and the people are allowed to continue posting. If this thread gets shut down b/c it, it will be a huge loss to the community because this is our best opportunity to actually push for change.
Finally, telling someone to "shut up" is very disrespectful and has no place in this forum. We're all here to offer our opinions whether you like it or not. If you disagree with an opinion, there is a button for that. However, telling a player to "shut up" is not only childish, but it also shows Kabam that you can't have a civil conversation. If you can't have a civil conversation among your peers online, how are you supposed to have a civil conversation with your boss, or your co-workers in real life?
Guys stay calm. No need to get into muddy fight with those strange opinion. The best option is to ignore them.
Most of the time posts were being considered "not constructive" when some usual strange guys coming to hook others' response. Once you respond that and you are getting in the trap of endless warrior in game. And then the mod kicks in to close the entire post.
They prove nothing but just to seek attention. Thus the best way to ignore them, stay within the topic and that's enough.
This is a gacha game. So kab need people to pay to spin those slots to keep their shareholders happy.
I've probably only spent £200 on this game in 4 years. All of that only on units for masteries and in the last 12 or so months on the 4.99 deal with the aim of saving to help with content or mega deal day unit offers. I don't spend on the gacha.
Do I want an easy ride? No, I want to be entertained, I want to have fun. Yes the titles are cool. But so is getting a new champion, leveling them up and finally having the key to a tricky piece of content.
I don't want anything free. I've literally paid. Perhaps not enough. Perhaps more or less than average. Perhaps too much. But I do want to feel like this game is fun.
I'm cavalier, elders bane, 2 variants completed but not 100% yet, 2 5/65s, 6 6 stars. But I look at the rest of act 6 and I'm writing it off. I'm in a great alliance running just map 4 but getting over 100m AQ, I can clear uncollected every month...
I'd hazard a guess that there are a LOT of people in a similar position.... Looking at the rest of act 6 and thinking.... "Nah". And not being willing to spend on gacha to achieve progress.
So it's not wanting anything free, is just the dawning realisation that spending doesn't help *at all* but also that grinding doesn't meaningfully help either.
Yes, "git gud", 2 5/65s should be able to do everything. And in Omega and sentinel, that could be true. But me getting better won't encourage me to spend, as the content I have left ahead, with the roster I have, is not enjoyable.
That be a good way to have fun and use our entire rosters. Rather than turning to Quake or Archangel when the game feels unfair with just ridiculous nodes. I know a lot of people are tired of using the same 5 champions for everything.
Lastly, this thread is for players to share insights and opinions. I can respond to an opinion if I don't agree to try to understand why they feel that way. In no way am I being disrespectful. I can disagree as I please, as can you. By disagreeing, I'm not objecting, I'm just offering another point of view.
Just ignore them cold turkey and they will leave. Like, we have an ignore function that collapses their comments. If you see them, assume it’s unproductive and move on to a serious member’s post.
It's incredibly difficult to read through posters opinions when they're constantly being challenged by the forum trolls and I'd imagine the developers who the posts are aimed at would have the same problem.
Maybe while Kabam are looking to improve the game, some attention can also be directed to the forums to make it a more enjoyable experience, I've only been on a few times and know who the culprits are so the mods shouldn't have a problem sorting this out.
Personally, I am fine with one hour timers, but I am not fine with 5 being the limit simply because you waste a minimum of two energy every night when you go to sleep--unless you're an insomniac like me. I think if we bump up the energy limit to 7, that will solve the majority of the issues with AQ. I love AQ in its current state too, it's my favorite content in the game because it's so rewarding, I can use a variety of champs (depending on if we're running map 5 or 6 and whether or not I have suicides active, I can even run my r4s or r3s if I feel like it, which is something I really enjoy), and, most importantly, it's just fun! Map 6 is less so with Corvus, but I still enjoy AQ so much.
So then when I look forward (very far) to becoming Cavalier and completing Act 6, I become worried as when I see people progress in it there are teams of 4/55 5*'s and three or four 5/65 5*'s, not to mention 6*'s. I have no notion of how to get the roster of rank up materials for Act 6, and I think a lot of mid-level players like me feel stressed when they look forward to this.
I saw someone referred to Kabam looking on Act 6 as 'endgame content' when it soon won't be, and I wholeheartedly agree. Abyss of Legends is the place for these ridiculous nodes and incredibly high attack values. Because Abyss isn't something that is part of a journey for players - they can complete it whenever they want. The way Act 7 is looking, it should really be another version of Abyss - perhaps Throne of Legends for a title.
You should remove all these links and place links to bosses at aggregation points. Like in section 1 on map 5 put a link to boss where paths 6/7/8 meet at the top. This way as long as 1 person gets there the boss link will be down. It will give people more freedom to move on their own schedule rather than we they need to unlink someone else.
