MCOC : Its future and what to expect

This post is only about my opinion, you are free to agree or disagree on the different aspects mentioned.

The game has been taking a very unpleasant and harmful turn for some time, which indicates that its future will be complicated.

Despite the fact that many things are evolving in a good way (new content, new game modes, improved rewards for current modes, etc.), there is also an increasing evolution of negative aspects (be it bugs or others...).

Here are the different reasons that let me think that the "end" of an era of the game will soon be over (in 6 to 12 months):

1) It's not a secret, bugs have always been present in the game. However, solutions are rarely found which means that these bugs are never or almost never fixed. Moreover, with each update, new types of bugs are introduced (on combat controls, interface bugs, etc.), each with a different degree of importance but impacting the game in many different ways. The bugs are therefore accumulating with time and the moment will come when the game will become unplayable unless solutions are found (set up maintenances to test if they work).

2) A second major point: the lack of communication from Kabam and the lack of attention to the desires, needs and expectations of players of all levels. I understand that it is difficult to satisfy everyone, especially when the player base is diverse and varied (different age groups, different video game cultures, etc...) BUT there is a huge lack of interest towards the players by Kabam (the moderators are doing their best, the development team as well as they could be understaffed which could explain many things especially the first point mentioned). It is essential for a game to stay in touch with its community. We can see this lack of interest in several parts of the game, whether it's for the compensations (which, in my opinion, should be essential when creating something that doesn't work or doesn't work well...) or the different decisions taken that go against the suggestions or desires of the players. (Of course, it is not necessary to ALWAYS listen to the players but regularly)

3) The increase of paid offers, exorbitant prices and P2W trends. For the past 1/2 month, we have seen an evolution in the need for players to spend units, whether it be to get into Sector 9 Zone 25 of new forays or to have access to the various items and resources provided during events. Perhaps this is part of Kabam's strategy in the run-up to Christmas and Black Friday (November 25). In any case, the new releases of the latest game modes imply a huge importance to the spending of units to reach the best rewards (battlefield / incursions). Of course it is still possible to play without spending any money but you'll get stuck if you don't have enough time to farm resources in the arena etc.

4) Last but not least, a controversial topic that is ESSENTIAL to mention: modding / hacks. I won't dwell on this subject, everything has surely been mentioned already and no communication is made... It seems that Kabam would like us to believe that they would own these accounts to make the unit whales spit out.

I'm really worried about the future of the game and the way it's going. The addition of the relics that will drastically change the game which is completely stupid. One of the best things to do from the creators would be to take 1/2 month off to fix the different bugs with a compensation at the end. Once everything is running smoothly, focus on new content, solutions to cheating and adding new features.

Despite this, the game remains incredible and one of the best mobile and tablet games, with an evolution, admittedly clumsy, but always present. It's time to wake up and focus on the good stuff.

Unless Kabam wants to focus on the Disney Mirrorverse and therefore collect as much money as possible before closing MCOC xD

Thanks for reading to the end, as said before, this is just my personal opinion.

Every single one of your points are things people have complained about since the games release. 8 years later you're probably the 1 millionth person to claim the game is dying.

There are many parts of the game that I’m not happy with or don’t agree with the direction. But I’ve logged in and play everyday for years, because overall the good outweighs the bad and I really enjoy the game. When it feels bad I find that I purchased less deals, but I still play the game.

Bugs are incredibly frustrating and despite a lack of acknowledgment from Kabam, the input issues are still ever present. But if there was a list of every bug the game has ever had, the majority of them will have been fixed and closed. Bugs from 2015/16/17/18 etc will have been fixed. Some take longer to fix than we’d like but then Kabam have to manage the time the team spend on fixing bugs Vs developing the next event or game mode update.

Some of the decision like battlegrounds implementation and gold offers have been incredibly shortsighted (in my own opinion). But then battlegrounds has been updated and we’ll see how it goes for season 2. The incursions update has been great. Hopefully Kabam will hear the feedback and incorporate the bits they find will work best based on there knowledge of how they are moving the game forward.

We'll talk about in 6-12 months as I said, u'll see

After reading this lengthy post i can say wow , Kabam has some really dedicated players in this community, keep in mind spending on this game is a choice, option , like many others it will take you longer if you're free to play but in life you will have more money in the bank to spend on important things, food, vacation, family etc, don't let a mobile game stress you out enjoy life.

As said it's not only about paying, there are many other things that needed to be done for a While but didn't

You're wrong but whatever.

Example ? I'm open to discuss but say why, otherwise there's no point in debating

You say the game will die, then added that paragraph starting with "despite this". That's the key though. The game is too much fun to put it down, no matter what.
We stayed when our phones got so hot that you could cook an egg on them. We stayed when the controls were (for some still are) a shambles. If you're still here now, nothing short of armageddon will keep you from playing.

If bugs haven't killed the game yet, they won't have anything to do with the game shutting down when it does.

"Lack of communication" also isn't new and would have zero to do with a game shutting down. The forums community makes up a small fraction of the player base. Not sure how forum MOD's could have anything to do with the downfall of a game but whatever.

Paid offers- you already counter yourself at the end of your comment. The more things they add to the game, the more things can be available for money. This is way every game with micro transactions are. But like you said, you can still get everything without paying, just at a slower rate. Still won't be the downfall of the game.

Modders and hackers have also been around since the game started, more so, arena bots. They won't bring the game down either.

The only thing that would lead the game to the end of the road is not changing. If things like Incursions, BG's etc.. weren't added, this game probably would have closed years ago. What keeps this game going is the addition of new modes and new content.

I'm not the one who wrote an essay of a post that basically just repeats what hundreds of people have said before you over the years.

I've been playing this game for almost seven years and if I had a quarter for everytime someone said "the game is dying because (fill in the blank)" I'd have enough for like 4 Odin's.

Point is people have been saying the game is going to die for many years for the exact reasons you stated, they all have very wrong as you will be as well.
