Nope. The "issue" is self-imposed but due to the nature of certain individuals -- they always blame others for the choices, whether good or bad, that they had made -- they falsely claim that there is a problem with the game. They do this in their "real life" so it is only natural that they would also do it with the game and devs.
The reality is that Kabam can choose to perfectly balance the items (alphas, isos, other cats, etc) that you can get from each activity and it will still never matter. This is because the loser player chooses which activity to participate in and therefore will earn more of a certain item based on their choices.
The only option is to remove the choice from the moron player and have EACH activity earn specific quantities of EVERY ITEM and every hero rank up requirements are modified to ensure that no single item becomes a surplus.
But that will never happen. I play other games where we have to accumulate items in order to rank up our heroes and we always have an excess of this, almost none of that. The items that are lacking always take "forever" to get.
It is only in MCOC that players whine like babies all the time over a common game dynamics. It wasn't too long ago that there was too many T4Cs and none enough T4Bs.
Nobody has made a decent counter argument to my point that the choke point created by the highest alpha ratio rankups is now tier 3 4*s and r1 5*s a point where champs are unuseable and untestable for almost anything in the game, it would be nice if t4bs was once again the more natural bottleneck and we could actually rank up 4*s to r3 to test them and 5*s to r2 to possibly get some use out of them ie arena. God forbid that we could actually use our glory for something that logically should be rare and valuable. Some t2a shards
It's not a strangle. It's pacing. Progrssion is paced. It's not exclusive to this game. There are caps to Resources in just about every game of this type.
Let's just agree one one consensus and move on!
I don't see any connection between commenting in forums and knowledge of the game. I know a lot about the game but have only recently commented specifically about this issue, since it has been a thorn in my side for a while. I don't think it is the highest priority issue but one that only seems to get worse. After this month you will see more people complain, I can almost guarantee that, with the higher rank rewards coming out this month. Those that are saying it isn't a bottleneck are flat out wrong and aren't contributing to the topic and are noise at this point. The real debate is if it is an acceptable bottleneck, is it really a progression (ranking Max lvl champs available) bottleneck and or if it is a amanageable bottleneck that paces progression rather than a hard limitation.
Honestly, with r4s becoming more available and having ranked about 22 5*s to r3 I may be clearing the bottleneck soon and refocusing my resource spemding and purchasing. That being said many are deeper in the bottleneck and are soon to hit it, I am just trying to voice the frustration. By the way have done everything to get T1A which includes normal EQ and class catalyst clash arena which many people don't bother doing and I still had issues and have many crystals not opened waiting for t1a.
The 1st is that they have recently increased the amount of 5* shards we can actually get but not increased the resources required to rank them.
December alone will be possible to earn 70,000+ 5* shards but without an increase to resources then we won't be able to rank up these champions.
The 2nd is that I also think it's a bigger issue now with the state of AW.
In the past, everyone ranked up similar champions, which made people complain about diversity.
AW therefore changed to dictate the win based on diversity. So if we now need to rank up diverse champions to help in AW (plus the utility champions for questing etc.) we obviously need more resources to do this.
As an example: If i take Antman to war and is only 2/35, then ideally I want to take him to at least 3/45 to help with defender rating.
Now while saving resources I happen to pull an iceman, due to his utility I'm obviously going to want to use my limited resources to rank him up instead which now means my alliance will suffer.
If kabam really want us to rank up diverse champions then we need more resources as most people will always rank up for utility 1st.
This purely avoided my whole comment, strangle (or pace is just a more polite term) the point is why is the 'pacing' targetting 5* champs at such a low point in their progression, i can repeat the whole statement again replacing strangle with pace it doesn't change the point, I've said I'm happy to have 'pacing', just that it makes more sense for the choke points that are created by the 'pacing' to be at points in progression where the champs have some albeit limited use in the game.
And coathanger was that a dig at me? Or gw? I don't logically see that I have demonstrated a lack of knowledge of the game? that I think the 5* choke point could be raised abit because more r2s in the game isn't really going to hurt most of us? Because I think there are t1as in map 3 crystals? I don't really claim to be an expert on the game in fact this is the only topic I've frequented. I usually just give noobs advice. Actually, that's not a joke. Sometimes I report bugs, I certainly don't comment on 90% of topics like gw... ok I'm concluding that was a dig at him, even though you seem to be mostly on his side of this debate.
Have to choose who to rank this month Iceman and AA or Luke Cage and Groot. feels bad. #muhalphashortage
Spent my glory on t2a and pots this week. No t1a to rank the game changing champ I just pulled. And need to buy more t2a and pots with next weeks glory. #muhalphashortage
Took 3 5s to R3 this month and 1 to r2. Only have 3 alphas in overflow right now. #muhalphashortage
Don’t play the game much so I only get basics from the log in calendar and can’t rank up champions. #muhalphashortage
Pulled Luke Cage today and took him to rank 3 immediately. Got lucky in a GMC just after that and pulled Archangel but now it’ll take two weeks before I can take him to rank three. #muhalphashortage
How am I supposed to catch GencerM at my pace?#muhalphashortage
Were being gifted 3 rank 5s this month and can only earn 20 alphas to rank them. #muhalphashortage
You're just a bad human being. Don't you ever feel like you can post a comment without making fun or taking a shot at someone? Just curious. You should try it.
Irony is delicious first thing in the morning so thank you for that. Feel like I can? yes...and btw thanks for holding onto the forum account and being a fan of mine since the creation of this forum, consider this one reply to you my autograph, hold onto it as it may be worth something some day when people call me out in a thread directed squarely at me.
No idea what any of that meant. You say weird things a lot that don't make sense. I do however hope you try to be nice for once. I know these forums give you purpose, but you could have purpose here in a different way. A nicer way.
I'm checking out, been in circles. You guys are resorting to finding digs to mock people. And just ignoring the valid points made by so many, guess that's forum life
I'm not saying flood the game with T1A, but they are used In almost all rank ups at the end game. It's not fun.
I'd much rather be locked by the T4CC that they are throwing at us like free candy.
@Speeds80 There is an imposter C0atHang3r so...
I wouldn't be opposed to having alpha crystals in the store for units like gold crystals. They could be made with random shards and a chance at a full one for players who have a need or desire to accelerate their rank ups. As long as they don't decrease the amount currently available and possibly add another proving grounds for them I think it would be a good addition.
From personal experience I can say I've waited a couple of weeks to rank a 5*, only to pull another one that is useful and be forced to choose between the two, with alphas being the hold up. It's true that 5*, t4b and t4c are much easier to get, but alphas have remained stagnant.
