**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

No one is saying give us RDTs for every change. We're saying give us RDTs for THESE changes to AW, because they rewrote the AW requirements and it mostly affected a very specific set of champs that a very large proportion of us spent time and money to get and rank up.
It hasn't affected the Champs at all. They still work the same way they did before. What has changed is what you use them for. That's up to the Players. Doesn't mean they're useless. For that matter, if the only reason someone Ranks a Champ is for War, that's fine, but it doesn't mean the Champ is worthless in general. The point that I was illustrating in that comment is they can't adjust our Rosters to accommodate every change, and this is no different than any new or added content. When AQ Seasons come out, we wouldn't expect the same. This is no different.
Where in the current state, this is as near as a revamp "from the ground up" of a system that was in place for nearly 2+ yrs if I'm not mistaken. Which TBH is difficult for me to place in the same category of your hypothetical changes.
I personally would like to see some other viable solution found in place of the standard RDT's and am only slightly opposed to them for the handful of reasons I had already mentioned and not solely based on Kabams stated reasoning as you have reiterated.
I for one cannot agree with any rule being "set in stone" when there is oviously changes that could be made that were never given an opportunity to take into consideration when those rules were made. And isnt that one of the purposes of the forums? To discuss and come up with ideas and reasons why some changes to the status quo might be necessary?
Is that considered to be a totally unrelated facet of the game when compared to Rank up/rank down?
Well, yes. The Forum is here to discuss. Having said that, the response given time and time again by the Moderation is the "final word", as per the TOS. People are free to share thoughts and ideas. When you have an issue that has been addressed countless times in the last 6 months or so, there is very little possibility for a revisit of the issue. I'm sorry, but I don't agree that this situation makes an exception to that. Both based on my personal views and by applying what has been stated by Moderation. My logic is not just because "Kabam said so.". It's based on an understanding of the game itself, the purpose of content, the In-Game Value, the onus of making decisions, what the changes do and do not affect, what affect the Tickets have on the overall system as a whole, what their actual purpose is, and yes, how the Players feel. I'm not ignorant to how people feel. I'm just not altering my understanding of the factors based on that.
The Tickets were originally introduced to allow people to adjust their Rosters after the changes to Champs. Simultaneously, there were changes to the system. As a result of that, we were afforded a certain amount of freedom with how we used both rounds of Tickets. The misconception was that they were strictly for the changes to the DR System. That wasn't exactly the case. They were for the nerfs. We were given the freedom to readjust our Rosters in lieu of that, but they were created for changes to Champs.
This is not the same scenario. The changes to War have absolutely no effect on how a Champ performs. Nodes are Boosts. They're additives. Sometimes Inhibitors. They don't actually alter the Champs. War has always been an elective process. People could just as easily have used SG on Thorns if they wanted to. Clearly not the best option, but an option nonetheless. They're not in control, and thus not responsible, for who people Rank and what Node they use them on, or what they use them for in general. People make their own choices, for their own reasons. The ability to discuss it is not what I am debating. We're free to do that within the rules of the Forum. What I can't support is the idea that Tickets should be given when that contradicts not only the purpose of them, but the entire design of the game itself. Not based on elective choices.
That's entirely up to you. I'm just pointing out that anyone who is that inappropriate is not going to respond to being called on it. The Flagging Function is there for a reason. If something is inappropriate, then that's what we use it for. It's their Account, not mine.
I agree entirely. I have always strongly opposed a return of rank down tickets because of the way they tend to get used and can off set the game. But now I feel its Kabam who has off set the game and forced us to pull champs out of defense that we did use resources on.
I am not one to waste resources and I sit on them for the right champ. Because of that I aimed for the top defenders and chose to rank them accordingly. Now we have players with ranked defenders that hold no value as attackers and now have to build resources back up and consider some new terrible options? It seems like a loose loose.
More materials would be great, couldn't come soon enough. Just guessing, but I don't see the resources coming in quick enough to counter the years worth of resources lost.
I don't understand why that clown isn't banned for that....maybe no mods on this late?
It's late.
We're here, they should be here as well! haha
They're usually not far off. Lol. I'm not sweating it. I just let them do their thing. They need rest, no doubt. Lord knows I would if it were my job. Lol.
We have no requirement to verify Accounts to participate in a discussion. That behavior is not appropriate for this Forum. You don't have to worry about being judged.
Don't think anyone actually looking up player profiles. That guys just on every thread and has obviously shared his info before on the forums and with the disturbances he seems to enjoy to create his info has started to circulate.
Sucks that you let the issues get the best of you and push you away though (seems to be what you were saying). Think rather than just quit is why we all hit the forums hoping to be heard and get issues resolved so that doesn't happen.
This is my favorite post to ever hit this forum. I almost choked on my drink when I read it.
Since you're a pretty (or very) casual player, the new easy AW actually helps you a lot. You should be really enjoying the changes to the game since it's good for casual players. I'm surprised you would quit at this time.
I wouldnt consider myself a casual player actually. LOL
I've been playing 2+yrs, and have put in an easy avg. of 3-5hrs of gameplay at an avg. of 6days a week. Been with a total of 3 alliances during the 1st half and with my current alliance since. We're around middle range I would hope with about 1030(or so) war rating and approx. 4mil+ alliance rating. I have consistently ranked top 5 most and never ranked under 10th in every alliance event. But if thats considered casual then yes, I stand corrected. LOL
We've gotten our faces bashed in more than I'd care to remember, but the old War setup had its flaws also, but was enjoyable in the sense that we were given a challenge to step up and do our best to rise to the occasion with difficult matchups, and we needed to play our best and also taught us humility when it was obvious we stood no chance.
With specifically to defender kills, in more closely fought wars, it was compelling to try and "guestimate" where we were in relation to victory, and made every atk fight KO or victory hinge on that fact.
There have been times where we were overzealous and ended up losing because we tried to force the issue when we didnt have to allowing the opponent more points, and there were times when we averted defeat by pressing the atk.
That's been taken away along with a number of other things that for me personally turned AW to a very pedestrian time kill.
Oh the new AW sucks i agree with that, i just assumed you were really casual cause only 2 5/50s and no 5 stars ranked up in 2 years doesn't seem like you play much (or just are happy in a low alliance). Didn't mean it to be offensive or anything.
Don't argue with this smartass, you'll never win an argument with this cuck anyway.
Multipliable. Good use of the word. I agree.
No one has removed anyone's choice. People Rank who they choose. That has always been the case. The majority of the Champs in question have been created before Wars existed. Giving a Champ unique Abilities does not mean they made someone Rank them for AW alone. It's their product. They obviously want people to take full advantage of the Champs they create. In fact, they are careful not to create Champs that play to one area alone for that reason. What we're talking about here is choice. People make their choices. Whether based on popular opinion, or some personal goal, they still choose who they Rank. The game has always been elective in that sense. People can play how they want within the structure. Sometimes the structure changes. That doesn't make the Ant Mans or the Juggernauts behave any differently, and Ranking them is not for nothing. The game is built around progression.
