Pretty apathetic about today. Kabam has signaled to us since last year that the push to spend is increasing over time. I’m coming up on my 7th year of playing, but starting last gifting event, this has been very apparent. I have spent in the past, but that has gone down a lot in the last 12-24 months.
So I’ll happily pass on this event. It does put a damper on hoping for fun things in the game…which then makes me weary of even dropping anything on cyber weekend.
Just one vets perspective. But was looking forward to today and was extremely disappointed.
This is a joke. The couple events Kabam seemed to put out to make the players feel appreciated they seem to think it would be better to remove them and make the community pay for crappier deals as a replacement. I’m far from a marketing genius, but they could have easily placed gold deals in place to please the community, and as scarce as gold is in the game at the moment put unit/cash deals to get gold. Along with other cash offers to line their greedy pockets. Wow, look at that they please the community and still make money, and Kabam in case y’all didn’t know you can’t make any money if you drive the game into the dirt.
Best thing to do is to keep this thread alive and get a response from them. They said they wanted to improve communication with the community, I don’t consider radio silence good communication.
if you think just keeping the thread alive will get them to present any of their thoughts then you are sadly mistaken. many issues have gone by where they just couldnt care less about replying
What else is there to do? Letting it fade away will accomplish nothing. We can at least remind them that the player base is extremely disappointed with this decision. Maybe they will change their mind and bring back the offers, although I doubt that will happen.

Same boat as you..same amt of time playing too lol.. I wonder how many more have spent before but also have gone down last 12 months significantly. I always put $ down July 4th/cyber but will def pass this yr and feel good abt it.
I am actually stunned . Really am . People wanted the gold offers back and how shamelessly nothing was offered and instead made it from units. Such a shame . How can we ever trust upcoming old events now ? What's next now ? Removing unit deals from cyber and July 4th and making it all from money ? Yeah do that too , game's economy gonna crash real bad from this day onwards. Disappointment at its peak
So after sleeping on it I have to say it still leaves a sour taste in my mouth especially the way Kabam handled it. First they kinda confirmed it after the notification accidentally got out then they dismissed it via a sarcastic post on their troll account. What a great way to treat your players. Instead we get mediocre offers at best for units or money. This would have been a good opportunity to show some love since there also was no compensations for the issues last month. I have to say that the state of the game as it is and the direction it's taken I lean more and more towards quitting for good and spending my money on a game and company who at least pretends to care rather than ignore or even worse makes fun of its players and customers.
it’s not nice for kabam to remain silent, a lot of people who are not happy have gathered, many messages are deleted, it’s better than ignoring people to answer once and there would be no more new comments and dissatisfied. On the part of kabam, this is not respect for the players.
It's such a shame, my comment was deleted, The deals are truly shocking even for paragon title holders, with 7*s coming in a few month's, 6* generic gem costing 5600+ units with just a rank up 2-3 gem and single 6* nexus...leave alone no gold offer's.. Seems kabam is moving downwards with BGs- pay to win, Deadpool offer's- only unit offer's. Complete Disappointment... ThankYou you kabam 🤞
Listening to this video makes me so angry. Not at lagacy at Kabam. The CCP has a direct voice to you and reply to them but you can’t reply to us the community as a whole.
There a point in the video at around 5.45 where Lagacy talks about the feedback given to Kabam and the lessons they learned “when they make an event where players enjoy, they need to ready for players to anticipate it again and if they don’t repeat it there will be massive disappointment”
Honestly Kabam did you really need to alter the one of the best events in years to a paywall event to learn this? This is absolutely obvious. You don’t need to jump off your house to learn it will hurt! It’s obvious. You honestly couldn’t see this coming? When the focus is solely on $$$ then of course this is the outcome. Same with battle grounds, same with this gold event and no doubt the same going forward. Kabam doesn’t learn.
The biggest take from this video and a direct quote from Lagacy “Kabam drops the ball again!”

Everyone gets a million gold and some units for one fight, so it's not a complete waste, but it's a lost opportunity. You have a player base that has been pretty frustrated and was obviously looking forward to this event. Why not build some good will? They could have kept all the unit offers. I'd have probably bought one. I'm not mad and I think some of the reactions are over the top. But I can't help thinking that they'd have done much better on the cash deals if they also included the very popular gold offers.
Agreed—that one’s a puzzler for me. Maybe the staff is mostly new and (excluding Miike) has no institutional memory of the underwhelming game performance for most of the past year. Perhaps there’s a sense that it was all overblown. Maybe the team looks at the persistently high level of player loyalty despite the number of bugs affecting everything from gameplay to UI to Vf/x to claim notifications to AW tactics and feels like it’s all good as is.
It’s hard to imagine the reasoning behind trotting out cash offers (and some pretty egregious unit offers) for this “event” when some useful items for gold would have been well-received (even if it wasn’t the bonanza of the previous event)—unless goodwill isn’t really that big a deal. Again, I’m at a loss.
I have to admit, having played this game 7 years and also after sleeping on everything and especially after absorbing Lags video last night, the whole situation is revolting. But they likely don’t give 2 excrements. It would have been really easy to tweak the gold offers still give people something and put out reasonable unit offers that are laughable unless they are going to completely rework how they do Cyber monday because of the new CEO, in that case this game is finished.
Just saw the “relic prestige” part of the player info. Let the milking truly begin.
Also massive shoutouts to content creators complaining about day of the deadpool then buying the offers. Your actions aid directly in enabling the behavior not preventing it. Thru dont care about what you say only how you spend
Netmarble effect, with the sale of Kabam being concluded, the end of the game is decreed. Relics are the announced beginning of the end, they are further monetizing a game that was extremely monetized, the few f2p aspects required an absurd grind for a mobile game. It's everyone's fault who supported these relics, prepare to see the game end or become unsustainable in a maximum of two years.
You think this game has an "absurd grind for a mobile game"?
There are plenty of things you can do without buying energy. Most highly monetized energy games wouldn't even let you do anything without energy. This game lets you use energy to get more energy for free. That's nuts for the mobile space considering that it has no ads. Not occasional ads, NO ads.
Disappointed? Yes. Surprised? No. Gold offers would have been nice, but I’m not upset like some people. They never said gold offers are coming back, and offers change all the time.

If this is the way the game is going then I’ll be tapping out sooner rather than later.
Sooooo!!
Sup, how are we doing this nice morning?

And Kabam please communicate to us and not just the CCP.
This shtick is getting old.
