The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!

You keep believing they tell us everything they change. I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you also. Money does some strange things to people, and this company is no exception.
Hahahahahahaha,lolololol.everything what we see,feel and experience,just conspiracy,but your words are always right and true.the best joke of the year.you should say,this is just RNG:D
I also felt like I was in quicksand the other day so sluggish
I also still maintain that on weekends and holidays they ramp up the ai to maximize on profits and shady business practice. We already know this isn't a skill based game, it's a money based game.
I'm an average player yet I'll challenge any single person at kaSCAM to some gaming
Just waiting will I have potions and revives in stash and then doing a 5.4 run, I can't handle the frustration it's causing to waste units and be cheated out of them by controls not working properly
Now you're twisting my words. I didn't say people aren't experiencing what they are. I said there's a difference between stating what we are experiencing and creating conspiracy by saying they're altering things unknowingly. That's conspiracy.
Alternatives that come to mind are the AI evolving based on accumulated data (players’ fighting tendencies) or advanced algorithms that instruct AI to change its fighting style based on certain factors. Given how long it takes Kabam to fix things such as Captain Marvel’s/Ms. Marvel’s sp2 not connecting after combos, both seem unlikely. I’ve also noticed recently that the AI has started attempting to chain sps after combos, which is something I’ve never seen before. Whatever is going on, the plethora of detailed examples - many of which are supported with photos and videos - from players of all skill levels makes random chance less likely to be the case as opposed to some sort of intentional change.
There are a host of other factors that go into it, conflicting mechanics within the Build, lag on the server, issues with the server's interaction with the Build or specific devices, etc. The game is complex in that it's not entirely on our device. It's a combination of the game installed and the server's data. Which means there are many things that can cause an issue. There is no basis for claiming that they intentionally alter the game unbeknownst to us, and this has been squashed many times by their own comments. Anything outside of that is generating conspiracy.
Different AI behavior + impossible AI recovery times = YOU LOSE, PAY UP!
Wish I had it recorded.
And these guys keep saying that there's nothing wrong.
"Act faster"
"Get better"
"Buy a new phone"
"It's the build interacting with the server"
"Everything's normal, you have to adjust"
Kabam where are you on this? Acting blind doesn’t help anyone. @Kabam Miike @Kabam Wolf @Kabam Vydious @Kabam Loto @Kabam Pertinax why are you guys not giving us an answer??? Thanks
Lag and/or server connection account for nothing I’ve specifically mentioned. I also haven’t had any problems with parry, the AI’s attacks are faster than ever but that can be handled by anticipating attacks and parrying appropriately. Additionally, you said a host of other factors go into it, but build and server issues are only two factors.
It’s only possible to deflect specific details that multiple members give for so long before confirmation bias seems possible. I’ve agreed with some of the comments you’ve made on this forum. In this case you’d have more success with supporting your claims if you specifically addressed and negated what multiple members of different levels of skill have independently stated instead of attributing them to hypotheticals you have no wait of providing evidence for.
I said that some sort of intentional change seemed more likely than the alternative. I wouldn’t label that as generating conspiracy, and that was not my intention. This would all be clarified if a moderator were to step in and tell us what is actually going on.
It does happen .. I have noticed with dorm , arch and quake . The champs just stand there sometimes
I think I experienced almost every issue mentioned over the past few months trying to fight this one mini boss:
- lag
- champs standing around after dashback unable to block or move
- opponent somehow punching through even when holding block down the entire time
- parry not working and opponent not being stunned even though the game says parry
- Champ randomly stopping attack mid combo
- Blocks registering and turning into dashes instead
- Champs moving on their own like on auto fight, maybe due to very delayed lag
- Going in for attack after a heavy with regular timing only to have very fast recovery by them resulting in them parrying me
Even got a new one where one dexterity dash back somehow caused mystic dispersion to get one full bar of power (even at 5/5 md it should take 3 dexterity dash backs to be a full bar of power).
This is completely unplayable. I wish I had recorded these. Against a dormammu with unavoidable degen or block damage on top, it only ends up just costing a ton of revives. This match wasn't about skill at all anymore, but how many potions one is willing to use to push past all the broken basic game mechanics. I don't understand how you as a company expect players to play a game where you cant do basic movements like block and dash back and attack correctly. Seriously, the longer this continues it's just a slap in the face saying you don't care at all and just want to keep making more money on people spending on potions and revives, or that you guys are completely dumbfounded on how to make a game function correctly.
The reports about lag are being looked into. We've mentioned that in a few different threads now.
As for the videos you posted about AI reaction time, I'll talk to the team about it and get back to you here.
Finally, there is way too much off-topic discussion and debate going on in here. Please only comment in this thread if you're posting new information/videos/screenshots that will help us with the investigation. Comments involving conspiracy theories or speaking on other player's opinion's etc etc, do nothing but bloat the thread and make it harder for us to locate the useful comments.
I'll post an update in here once as soon as I know more about the AI reaction reports. Thanks!
