    I like the objectives for beta testing. That’s cool but how do you complete the objectives if you can’t play? So far for day 1 half the day was shut down because you couldn’t match make. Now you can get a match but in the 2 I’ve tried, the system has timed out and caused a draw in the matches for the first and the other just sat there with wireless connections.

    Will we be refunded energy used? I've lost = to a 1/2 energy refill because I'm booted from the match? Just take the beta down and then put it back up when it's fixed rather than leaving the hot mess it is up and running. Looking forward to it coming back up but without any communication it's hard to gage if I'll even get to play today or any time this week. Seems like next time you should only be releasing to high end players with endgame titles to hopefully prevent any future traffic issues.

    Tried to play the battleground all day haven’t played once. Has charged me 5 times the 15 moves to enter this sum b.s the whole game has turned to trash.

    How much of an effect should the new mode beta have on basic game mechanics elsewhere? Because my gameplay and mechanics got much, much worse today.

    Could you please make things right?

    P.S. Haven’t had a 5-hit combo interrupted via game lag in a few months. That feature is back now (and no—wasn’t an auto-block champ).

    Why push to bring out a steaming pile of horse excrement? Rename it “Extended Connection Issues” so we know what we will get. That is all. Mike!

    I too would like to see some form of compensation because I just lost 45 energy for 3 draws where I didn't get to play a single round of fighting. Just get a connection error right before the battle is about to start.

    On the plus side the matchmaking took me 30 sec or less for all 3 draws.

    I've been waiting for the match and suddenly it pops up to reconnect and game is over.

    This has been the funniest yet most frustrating thing i have seen in a while. For a multibillion dollar company, your dev team seems absolutely incapable. you struggle to release ANY new features without completely breaking them immediately. how is it that you release a beta for a game mode your community is truly excited about and is invested in and it is impossible for us to play it? i have used upwards of 140 energy matchmaking in this game mode and have yet to actually be able to try it, i just get connection issues.

    just be honest with your player base and admit that your dev team is unable to implement new changes, and that we should just make do until this game dies within a few years.

    Im unsure as to how long many of us will play this game if you cant even do something as simple as have reliable controls, or implement a new game mode. look at games like Clash Royale, the games are of similar age, yet clash royale implements game modes every other week or so. very frustrating and dissapointing to see.

    i expected more from this beta.

    P.S in before the 'its just a beta' replies , yes sure its a beta but you would expect a beta to be partially indicative of what we should be able to expect in future months. surely a beta shouldnt be UNPLAYABLE, right? you would expect that from an early dev test build or maybe a pre-alpha. ridiculous.

    Not an expert here, but I’m going to congratulate you for your hard-won victory. :D

    We still don’t have parry issues fixed . And we have another game mode, that admittedly sounds phenomenal in theory. But…. Dosn’t work at all. Come on. Please SLOW DOWN AND FIX THE ISSUES. And then come out with game modes that actually work.

    First times I tried I never got a match but now I’m getting a match right away. I can ban champs, select champs, select my defenders and attacker fairly smoothly and then each time the fight is about to start I get kicked

    Worst thing is if I keep trying, they start taking away points from me HAHAHA I ain't flippin playing this bugged crappy thing anymore smh.

    The high traffic excuse is ****. It’s just another thing that was untested.

    Yes. That’s literally the point. They are testing to see how the system works under a lot of stress by people using it. They are now fixing issues caused that have been found by the beta.

    You are getting angry at something being untested that is by design untested and is being tested right now. You are getting angry at the beta working.

    So you want us to spend 15 energy per round in the Beta but get ZERO REWARDS in return... how does that make sense? If we get no rewards, the cost should be 0 energy... I was pretty excited to jump into this but it will be a hard pass if I can't get anything in return if there is a cost.

    Don't worry, you can't jump in because it keeps disconnecting before you can actually fight.

    Issues connecting after setup before match starts, each time it’ll will get through set up but won’t connect the actual fights and disconnects, this is also happening with other members in the alliance..

    Clearly they are still having a lot of traffic because people keep trying to start a match. And it’s getting better. Look it’s day one of a beta test, it wasn’t ready for everyone to go ham the first day, let them take some time to fix what’s going on and I’m sure they will roll out with a fix day 2. Try not to give the team a bunch of ****, it shows how hard they work on this game and they know how passionate we are about the MCoC. Give them a chance instead of jumping down their throat.

    This is Insane, frustrating and useless gaming mode. I seriously don't understand why even bother to launch a mode that does not work at all. It randomly select a champ it want. Matchmaking takes forever. Even after everything, whne you bave count down to fight. You are just making your strategy to fight, but WAIT connection lost. LOL everytime connection lost. Ironically, you are lost as well.
    They are so desperate to launvh something that they don't even bother to check once. It's impractical to introduce a gaming mode that doesn't work
    I have wasted hours by tring againa and again. Now, I am wasting more time writing this post Because I know, no one is listing here. You really suck Kabam. Just sale this game to a good company and go to your home and make cookies.
    **** wated my arena grinding time. I just wanted to try once, but can't even play one match. I am angry as hell. feels like delete the game and have fun.

    My battlegrounds are bugged. When the ten second timer expires for the first fight then it keeps showing no Internet though the other quests are working perfectly
  • MaratoxMaratox Member Posts: 1,593 ★★★★★
    This has to be the worst content beta in the history of a game ever. Straight up unplayable. I don’t know how Kabam plans on getting any feedback if we can’t play the mode. I’m usually on the side of “Kabam tries their best” but this is abysmal and they clearly didn’t account for anything here. Didn’t even bother to check if the servers could handle it. The most annoying part is that this means battlegrounds will likely be pushed to 2023

    This beta is likely designed so that they can do just that.

    The beta isn’t just to test the gameplay itself, they’ve held multiple betas in the past to test whether the format, drafting, fighting or any other aspect of the gameplay for battlegrounds works. This beta is a soft launch to the game at large to see whether the servers can handle it. And seemingly they can’t, or not without some fixes.

    You are playing a beta, and they are testing exactly what you’re annoyed about.

    I tried playing 3 times. All of them gave me the red connection error and then my match ended in draws.

    I have been facing this too now.

    I’m cav and my option to buy the shuffle signet is for a uncollected player. Is that right?

    Also whenever I try to play it will only let me get to the screen right before the battle then it loses signal and the game crashes every time. I can not fight anyone.
  • Theshark1Theshark1 Member Posts: 77
    Gotta love when kabam adds new modes to the game that you cant even play. Once we’re done selecting all the champs you just get the no internet symbol blinking at the bottom. EVERYTIME
  • Slim_Diggler81Slim_Diggler81 Member Posts: 1
    I know it’s a beta and for testing purposes but how do you put something in the game and no one can even access it? Why put it in at all until it’s actually ready for release. That’s like Ford selling brand new cars and the stereos don’t work in them. Oh they are there they just don’t work on all models. I’ve played for 7 years and this takes the cake.

    in this mode.... we fight the deff and the deff controlled by AI ??
    not real time 1 vs 1 ?

    After several attempted battleground matchmaking attempts, finally got paired and went through whole selection process. On the fight screen for first fight and got disconnected from server. Logged back into app, launched battleground to see the match ended in a draw, however energy was still consumed. 💀

    Day 1 of battlegrounds, nearly a dozen attempts across three accounts and 0 actual fights played. 🥶
