  You can watch Kabam Devs streams and see them struggle with the same issues you’re talking about.
  
  I don’t think the fixes are that easy for a game this old and convoluted.

  100% agree, and I think they’ve struggled since the Unity update issues to get things back to some semblance of normal.
  
  Failing a solution (and I truly believe they are working on one), I think the quick fix is redress, in some form. It builds trust with the player base and is an acknowledgment that something isn’t working up to their standards.
  
  To be clear, I’m not suggesting a Titan crystal. And I’d be fine if there was just an acknowledgment.
  
  But especially with the striker problems, I haven’t seen the team comment in a very long while, and the old commentary was more along the lines of “show us what you’re talking about.”

  I’ve also been experiencing random lag spikes throughout the match. Makes it almost unplayable because it always happens at start of match and when specials are activated, so timing the parry/dex is impossible. It’s disappointing when you waste one of two revives because the parry failed on start of match.

  Another issue I’ve encountered as well as others in a chat I’m in. I’m not at liberty to share the video, but one showed me an almost one second pause in the frames being rendered. That’s pretty bad in any content, but especially so in top tier modes like Raids.

  We play a game where the fight of final boss in the most rewarding content (nameless Grandmaster) mandates the use of strikers, while equipping a striker results in not be able to read the prompts properly, and failing against the grandmaster.
  
  What a irony? They want us to use strikers, but strikers are the reason most of us spend revives on gm fight.

  Yeah I died because right before a Kang sp2 the game lagged and then it made me dex early so I got clipped

  If nothing else, Raids has provided a stark reminder to me of the costs of malfunctioning game mechanics.
  
  In a mode that gives two (free) revives a day, having a striker fail, whiff or spontaneously activate against a defender with a load of furies really, really hurts.
  
  Likewise when a special fails to fire. The resulting combo to face and KO—preventing the *gratifying fulfillment* of taking the full 10% health, dying from a timeout or eating a Sp3–is very demoralizing.
  
  Please, please get to fixing this.

  Well said. Sadly my expectation for this thread will be to putter out without a meaningful response or update about strikers, inputs misfires, or latency issues.

  Thought I screwed up. Also on vacation so blamed wifi but sounds like it is actually the game.

  @DrZola remember a few years ago when they gave out compensation in the form of potions every week for this exact problem, and then just stopped without bringing a solution to the issue that caused the higher need for potions in the first place?
  
  Yeah, Kabam are great 🤦‍♂️

  What a brilliant time that was. Kabam not only acknowledging issues, but helping us deal with them until a fix is implemented

  Yep that was solid. Took a while to get there, but they definitely tried to help out.

  I will say, if raids continue as they are with the state of the game, I would be content never doing another one.
