The year is almost coming to an end, how’s 2024 for you in Mcoc? For me I am a bit 50/50.

Champ releases were a disappointment for me until the last few months where I think they turned it around with scream, Jack, spiral and the great buffs
Banquet was easily the worst part and I guarantee a lot of people will say awful cause it’s a pretty bad end to the year. Fingers crossed for a decent Christmas gift
I highlighted some of the missteps in one of my posts, I feel like they fumbled with the AI (as usual), the stores were updated wayyy too late and those rewards lagged behind (BG ranked rewards still suck), serpent was a big L, and the champ releases for the first half of the year were beyond disappointing compared to last year
Feels like a rollercoaster of emotions like Mcoc generally is. I feel like they had a worse year compared to 2023 but that’s mostly cause of the monumental banquet fumble
Either way, some people are literally on the forums to hate on the game no matter what. I think it’s important to acknowledge the good too for what it’s worth
I added a total of 8 new 7*’s (I’m an endgame valiant player) and 16 R3’s. This event doesn’t really phase me much, since I’ve been playing for almost 10 years- I know exactly how this event goes and is meant to go (Banquet)
I think it took a while for 2024 to get going. The first half of it was still part of the "Oh, shoot, we totally released too many defensive bangers in a row, oops" debacle. However, I think it really picked up in the latter half of the year. 60 FPS is a huge win. It's truly transformative for the game. The buffs to old champions have been amazing.
Finally, while it's not readily accessible yet, I think the PC version of the game is going to be a massive win as well. I've been playing around with it for around a month now and I love it. Not in a "it's better than the mobile version" way, but just as a different way to play the game. There are still some fundamental things that I think need to be ironed out, so I wouldn't be too surprised if it's quite a while before it gets released for everyone to play, but based on what I've played so far, I'm super excited about it.
+ Necropolis release. It is much better than Labyrinth and Abyss at their release.
+ quarterly endgame events (Spring, summer, spring) was pretty well designed.
+ AQ Raids was a great experience, i prefer it over boring *** AQ every week.
+ 8.3, 8.3 and 9.1 was very well designed, i def prefer the 3 bosses over bahamet, bringing every quest from 6 to 3 paths was a great decision.
+ Having decay meta again
+ And Kabam's Big 10 (Big 9 actually, we all know which one sucks) was a banger, especially 60fps one.
+ The game's freezing and lagging issues are much better than last year.
Still, there are so many badly designed thing.
+ Changing to 1 meta every GC season was a terrible move, i like that it will be reverted back to 2 soon.
+ AQ and AW were still boring and unenjoyable 90% of the time, i find it niche logging in every few hours for AQ.
+ "We are happy with Serpent's performances so far and no changes will be made"
+ Good lord, i didn't expect banquet to be that bad.
Overall, just wanna say 2024 was a big success from Kabam. I mean, apart from banquet, they have done many great things. For me, i will be excited for more contents ahead in 2025

I find the realm events to be designed beyond poorly. The team clearly refuses to apply lessons learned here.
BGs has never been in worse shape. The nodes aren’t fun, the variety in the fights have been killed by Onslaught, Serpent, Enchantress and Bullseye. It’s more about how well can you handle those defenders than anything else. Almost all novelty in the modern is dead. Which sucks.
That said, the seasons of agony have been fun. The deathless chase was enjoyable, even if there has been some very questionable decisions about the champ designs. And some of the very recent attackers introduced seem to have things back on the right track.
But like a meal out at a restaurant, good or bad, the final taste will be the one that lingers and that lives longest… and that’s gonna be this damn banquet event of hype and manipulative half truths. Sure everything in the SBC has “value” to 7star rosters but the vast majority of SBCs are worth 100 units let alone 300 units. There is nothing fun about opening these and it’s so bad it drowns out the guaranteed value available. But that value making it all worth it is tied to a realm event… and if that event comes up short then this event will go from being a failure in expectation management and communication to being a failed event entirely.
So it’s prob mid… but the current closing note of 2024 is one of hot garbage
I had quit for a while last year and honestly I liked the banquet crystals and event last year. Maybe my rng luck was just better but this year's, bit I got alot more from them last year. It's a shame to go out with such a horrible event like this. The 10 free champs were great, but technically not part of the banquet event. They also said in the live stream the community event would be just extra on top of the banquet, now it seems they are saying it was built as part of the event rewards. Which is it? The explanation given the other day was way off base and lame. Whales still gonna get all the rewards and the gap will continue to grow, and I'm OK with that, not the lame excuses for trying to milk us dry for the holidays.
Either way they misinformed us. I was excited for it and saved up units and was ready to spend but after using what I saved I'm not spending anymore unless I get the platinum pass for dazzler. Doubt I'll save up like this again for next year. Hopefully they do something to turn it around. Not holding my breath though.
This game is tight,..people plan out for months ahead if not the full year on how they are going to approach gaining the in game currency,..or monetary funds they need.
People wait months for these events,..and it takes a great deal of time or money invested into them.
I hope in the future the Game Team takes careful consideration of this and tries to look at it from a players perspective.
Otherwise 2024 was excellent,..you can see the game really expanding with creative new ideas.
