Recent Kabam Changes

As many already know, Kabam Miike is no longer with Kabam. Neither is Rob, who was integral to the livestreams, and others as well. In the following weeks there will certainly be interruptions to the standards we have come to expect, especially when it comes to community interactions with Kabam; hopefully all of us can adjust to the reduced team soon. They all have had an incredible impact on this game that will surely leave a big hole. Miike especially has been a cornerstone of Kabam for more than 8 years, losing him will be an enormous hit not only to Kabam and the community team, but to the players as well. I am sure that the remaining team members would appreciate some grace while they figure out how to move forward.


June Content - All Fun and Games/Terror Twister

The side quest involves a quest with a boss that starts out easy, but as you choose paths with better rewards, the boss gets buffed up. There are 4 entries per week from a solo event. The meta crystals also include Thanos, which represents the first time he has been available to most people.

Full Details


Arcade/Northstar

Arcade has a poisonous cloud, similar to ibom, and access to traps. He deals lots of damage through debuffs, and can autoblock. He also has prefights that can be selected between like scorpion, although they are all active on defense.

Northstar has many hits on his combo, and can reduce the power cost of specials. He builds large amounts of prowess buffs, and stuns after specials at max ramp. He is extra effective against skill champions.

Saga #2 - Arcade Games

The defensive tactic gives champions Autoblock and Evade, while the attack tactic allows saga champions to bypass those effects with their combo and buffs.

    For how much of a W this stream was, the livestream chat was the worst I've ever seen it.

    Livestream chat is always awful. Actually got a little mad when some people started spamming mean stuff when Jax got emotional
    This time it was way worse than normal IMO. Or maybe I just noticed it more

    Someone's name had a certain acronym in it that Jax didn't realize until he was actually saying it out loud

    Do Kabam upload the stream on YouTube or twitch only?

    Being the curious and somewhat broke Merc with a Mouth that I am, I gotta ask: just how many chimichangas am I gonna have to part with to get Beta Ray Bill at the end of the paid track? Translation for the humans: how much is this paid track gonna set us back?

    You should see them if you’re paragon+. If not, you won’t see them.
