Werewrym's Thoughts on the Summoner Showdown 2021

KarmaConnect · October 2021

Fight duration should be always 0 unless you take down the defender to 100% not inverted as you mentioned. That score was also bugged.

Try not to derail the thread by being critical of kabam everyone else. @Werewrym has a legitimate point to make that should stay up.

I read it all and my take away is;

1. I'd like to watch a vid of him with someone talking it through, perhaps lagacy, seatin or karate Mike
2. I want a 6 star miles...
3. The new game mode sounds epic
4. I'm glad kabam resolved it for him even if they didn't approach it ideally

Nice write up and don't apologise for the length of the post. Nearly all of us wade through @DNA3000 (@DrZola and @Magrailothos too) posts; when it's insightful and relevant an epic post is worth the read.

I concur. I believe ~~Whereworm~~ ~~Weirdwyrm~~ ~~Worewerm~~ The OP does a good job explaining how he understands the situation in general and without expressing antagonism towards the game or the company nevertheless states his disappointment in one particular element of his experience. It is the kind of nuanced position I wish more people would be willing to take the time to express.

I think misspelling my name is something I'll just have to live with from now on lol. Its honestly pretty funny.

Quick question, how do you pronounce your name? Is it Ware-Wrim or is it Ware-Werm?

And why does the Kabam commentator keep calling you Ware-Werm?

It's Where-rim. They didn't really ask us how to pronounce names, so I think that's how things got confused. To be fair my name is a bit odd.

Damn.. they dropped the ball big time there man. Sorry to hear that.

Regardless of how weird/odd, they should have made an effort to get it right.

It's about respect in my opinion.

Another quick question Werewyrm - were all contestants sent a package including a webcam and green screen so you could video/broadcast your reaction during the tournament?

Or were you asked to use what you had at home (webcam, etc)

Or were you taken to a secret location for filming?

They provide everything the contestants need to film.

It's still strange to me that 1 guy in the Asia round (i think) had a fuzzy webcam...

Thanks, mate. Although I suspect that those four Disagrees you got might have been for mentioning me in the same sentence as DNA...

;-) possibly, but that bishop vs havok post, amongst others, means you must be pretty high up on the insightfulness register!

What was the compensation?

Not really surprised they lied publicly, it’s a Kabam norm.

Maybe he has NDA towards that compensation

Ah that's true.. didn't think of that. Also 1 guy the game disconnects during the fight it's probably the same guy with the fuzzy webcam.

Kinda strange though cos Korea & Singapore should have some of the fastest internet connections in the world.

Nope, I just decided that I did not want the focus of my post to be on the compensation.

XDestructor2006 · November 2021

yup

Lets see how they respond by ignoring most of the points you addressed. Classic "lets ignore it and it will be gone" approach. Unfortunately the way kabam dealth with this situation by cutting the players comments out of video and tryin to "explain" in a post as well as "sorry we will do better next year" is a genuime representation of how they treat all of their player base. Like "no matter what we do we will just throw some potions the peasants way and it will be all good."
