Can we be really honest?

Proper compensation is honestly long overdue. Here’s a list of the recent bugs that have gone uncompensated over the past few months (some of which were pulled from another thread, and some of which I added). Before you hate or rip this apart, at least read the ending.
- Guardian/Piggy cannot be seen on screen and Guardian Necro unplayable for some, wasting lots of revives.
- Lots of champion bugs, Guillotine 2099 still bald in some matches, and Onslaught is still dark, left for weeks.
- Serpent booting you out when you pull him/level him up.
- Juggs unplayable for at least a week, sp2 literally whiffs. (Mine is r3 - Needed to use him for some higher level content and only had a few days to do so with him fixed. People plan out paths in advance.)
- Spiral being unplayable for at least a week or two.
- Nick Fury’s sp1 blocked midway making him a worse defensive threat.
- Horrible lag with Bullseye, compensation however people used more revives than actually given back. (Should come in after the timer. Although, I was low on revives from this fight x2 and had to use units for revives for AOA that I had been saving. So now the compensation is going straight to overflow.)
- Deathless She Hulk going Unstoppable for the rest of the fight when in the nodes it states when dashing back/first medium. (Burned a few revives because I had to learn how to play the fight bugged - never got fixed before the end of event)
- Visual issues, including Units, battlechips etc completely gone, as well as alliance members “kicked” when they weren’t.
- More visual issues
- UI potentially bugged - daily super event is showing 13 steps at the moment
- The AI has been so weird for longer than a few months (worst I’ve ever seen in the toad fight). AI will hold specials when they have debuffs on them, won’t throw specials for minutes, will hold block for minutes at a time, will hold specials and block while you have buffs on you, etc. If you need proof, just go watch Lags most recent rank up video (esp in the crossbones fight)
- Not a bug, but the incursion 7 star crystals having a 90 day timer (is it 90 or 60 forgive me I forget) and still being 400k artifacts is a bit absurd. 350k would be a start and MAYBE a 30 day timer.
The list goes on. This is just recently. If I missed any please feel free to list them below. Just felt like I needed to be real for a second and justify the want/need for proper compensation across the player base that everyone has been experiencing. One great thing I will acknowledge is the adding back of sig stones and relic shards back to the BGs store for valiant players like myself who have yet to pull some of the 3 and 4 star relics. Thank you Kabam for that (although I do wish the limit I could buy was a tad bit higher - at least a whole crystal a week and at least a hundred 5 star sigs a week). And thank you again for having the team work so diligently on designing new EQ to make it interesting again. Again, this is just an honest post, not to cause an uproar but just honest and civil discussion on the matter.

There should be at least some sort of acknowledgement of ‘hey we’ve messed up’ and honesty.

However, I actually do something other than play MCoC full time. And when things disappear or don’t work or don’t appear at all, it’s disappointing.
Dr. Zola
- Retry button bug where players utilized said feature, thanks to the bug they lost their revives and kabam did nothing.
There's probably more I'm forgetting will get back when I remember.
As the alliance leader, I can't change it
My alliance is stuck at "By Request"
Minor inconvenience yes but irritating
But to be fair, there’s been a lot of game sloppiness enumerated across the several posts in this thread (and others).
I don’t think it merits anything big, but a little acknowledgment and apology wouldn’t be bad.
Dr. Zola
My honest thoughts are I'm not looking for compensation from Kabam
I just want things to work the way they should or at least some official acknowledgement from them to say that something is being done and that some time is needed to get it fixed
Right now there's no news from them like nobody is at work in the office
Dr. Zola
Beyond that though, just want to acknowledge I've got eyes on this thread. Can't really comment on the issues individually right now but I think this is a useful writeup and discussion worth having. Would just ask (and it has been so far it looks like) that things stay respectful both to each other and us, but also don't hold back (just say it constructively.) Appreciate y'all.
-The lighting effects have been off for quite some time, I remember that the Piggy Sp3 used to look normal and now it's so bright that the pink and green arrows look white and then the Galan/IH color swap.
-Also not a bug but the Loyalty Crystal waiting period it's just absurd. The cost it's alright imo but waiting 3 months for it it's annoying
I don't think these are worth a compensation per se (except the Bullseye thing and the AI stuff), but maybe we really are due a scheduled maintenance
Dr. Zola
This is, at the end of the day, a video game, and it should be fun yet challenging. I think we all appreciate the hard work that goes into the game; live updates, new champs every month, reworks, different quests etc, but the general feeling is that the focus is on a very select 1% of endgame players for content, and the technical issues persist.
It's becoming harder to become excited about upcoming content, because you just know something is going to cause an issue. If I had a car that constantly broke down somehow every time I drove, i'd get the bus or train more.
I'd agree with comments above regarding compensation; it's not really the focus here. The game needs to get back on its feet with some dedicated attention to the largest player concerns and a real push needs to happen to address those. Throwing out some gold now and then is nice, but my personal feeling is that the community needs to see a little more finesse within the game itself to ensure we can actually enjoy the current content before bringing out new things.
Just my two cents though! Feel free to disagree as long as we're all civil
I just started to doubt if it's on purpose by kabam.
When you're wanting to give feedback and you're wanting to get the most from that feedback and in a way a dev can digest it, leave the stuff that doesn't make an impact.
Give them the things that matter and what they need to know. Things that are actually actionable.
A couple other things are hard to compensate because it's not everyone like Bullseye and AI.
