They can easily keep the pool of 18 garbage like this set. I hope everyone is ready so see Blue Cyc in next pool because he's awesome, just look at the data!
I think we need to toss out the technical terms, because they are apparently being misinterpreted. When I say sampling bias is bad unless controlled, what I mean colloquially is that when you decide to pick a subset of all players to represent the players, if you don't know all the ways in which they are different from the overall set of players and what effect each of those differences will have on your measurements, that smaller set will generate statistics that will be different from the result you would have gotten had you measured everyone in a way you can't predict in advance. That inability to quantify that difference would mean that all we could likely say is that your measurement is valid for that subset of players, and only that subset of players, and only useful if you were trying to change the game in a way that would affect only those players. Scientifically speaking, you wouldn't be able to say anything else.
"Controlling" the bias doesn't mean picking players in a particular way. Picking players is selection. Bias describes the data that selection generates. You can control selection by simply being precise about which kinds of players you pick. But that doesn't control the bias that set of players will generate. Controlling bias is kind of like controlling the future in that sense. It is very difficult to do properly.
In absolute terms we don't know anything. We don't know what Kabam thinks or does, nor do we know what Kabam means when they use any of the words they use. We should be careful about anyone that is too certain about anything or says anything in absolute terms. But from that starting point, there's nothing to discuss at all. We're all discussing the subject based on what we think are reasonable assumptions. For me, knowing what an MMO developer generally cares about quantitatively and what they generally measure is a reasonable assumption. It would not be for someone that hadn't done this before or hadn't been exposed to it before. But since I have, I can't ignore the information that makes available to me.
I could be completely wrong, that's true. People are inherently unpredictable and Kabam isn't even a person: it is a group of disparate people. I think my track record here is not bad, but it is far from perfect.
Exactly. It’s a money grab because you can’t get the featured champ now only in 300 unit crystal
Instead of discussing the crystal index, why not discuss ways to make it actually more useful.
How to create a jewel, by adding catalytic converter + ISO + plug + gold + "whatever it is" to form a class jewel making the crystal become a crystal class?
This is one of several examples that Kabam could introduce in the game to make players happy, to actually make the most expensive crystals effective indeed.
But it is becoming increasingly clear that the intention is to make us play and play and to be in charge of the luck to make us grow.
I repeat what I posted some 20 pages ago, we went for a 15k crystal boycott
I think you hit the nail on the head: "The devs don't really care"
Just because ant man an Cyclops suck to fight with an are super easy to best when fighting against it doesn't mean they aren't effective. These 2 champs are key to synergy teams needed for LOL an other content if your building teams. This is why the data shows them as "most effective", lots of people use them for attack just for synergy an they also get thrown into aw Defence too. Just point out I think the new crystal are awful an poor choice of champs
So that means NONE of the **** guys from the New "Scrub Rush" will be in the 18?
I know right! Collector will be so easy with new champions hand picked by non players. Cyclops especially is soooo effective
Dude.You forgot that Kabam and Kabam Miike especially, want milk and money
guys we can get mad all we want....but at the end of the day we are still playing kabam's game, the house always wins
feels like we are chain to whatever they want to do.
So unless theres another 12.0 revolt then nothing will change.
We complain so much we got rank tickets. yet people still complaing about not getting iso and gold back like really?!
Kabam only cares about money, so unless that's hurting them they wont do anything
You can always make things better by trying to stack things up as high as possible, but even so this is not as easy as it sounds. Try this: the first crystal needs eighteen basic champions. Make a list of which ones you would put in there. Now, the May crystal needs eighteen different champions. Make a list of which ones you would put in there next. Then to make sure we don't just flip back and forth between them, the August crystal needs about nine basic champions that have never appeared before and then you can recycle nine from the original list. You can't repeat any from the May crystal.
Now, I'm not saying it is impossible to make a list of 45 champions currently in the basic 5* crystal (the total necessary to satisfy the above) that aren't better than some of the ones currently listed to be in the new featured. The real challenge is making those three lists in such a way that you wouldn't be ridiculed by the playerbase if you were the developer. That's not so easy.
Try harder
People who have never played the game? Employees of Kabam who are willing to Lie to you for money?Perhaps people who only use auto fight?If your going to do soethingmlike this at least have benefit.Sure more money for you but if you continually do this people will hate you. In fact youll be fired if i was Ceo.
So true
My alliance and others that I know of play wars only once or may be twice a week.. to get loyalty ..
I can get better rewards by just grinding on arenas
They killed featured crystals as well.
Atleast I won’t be two ways in future whether to open feature or basic
If you began firing the community coordinators of your game because of the changes your game system designers were making, I suspect you would not be CEO for long.
But now, 5* shards are more available than ever, as Kabam is gears everyone up for 6-stars (like it or not). So being able to “CHOOSE” a 5-star champ isn’t a unique thing anymore. Instead of studying the Character Spotlights, forums, reddit and fighting duels to see if a Champ fit your playing style and roster needs (before you poured all your hard-earned resources into it), people just wait for the YouTube consensus Top Champ (remember DS?) and build the “ideal” roster. No faster way to unbalance a game than when everyone uses the SAME three champs.
SECOND, the new Featured 5* Crystal will reduce the frustration of spending 15k a pop on outdated, low-prestige, weak champs with a more focused pool. When Blade first came out I spent 45k on Iron Patriot, Colossus and Groot (my last 15k pulled Blade, and grinned ear-to-ear for a week), but a better pool of consolation champs would have been great.
More importantly, it will return us to the days where the ‘regular’ 5* Crystal only had a small pool of Champs… So duping a 5* and earning precious 6* Shards will be easier! Just wait for a Crystal [pool] that overlaps a majority of your roster… and you’ll finally be able to dupe that Starlord, Storm or Magik <i>and</i> rack up 6* shards towards a new Trophy Champ. Which btw is now available via the 6-Star Featured Crystal (assuredly replacing the old 5* Feature).
ULTIMATELY, as the Game, Champs and Rewards continued to expand… This move was inevitable. Imho it will maintain the variety, rarity ratio, game balance and sense of accomplishment we’ve previously had. Kabam makes a lot of mistakes (I genuinely never thought I'd defend them), but I don’t believe this is one.
P.S. To everyone peeing their pants about Blade (because they undervalued/ignored him when he was originally available), Kabam did you a solid… You will still get your shot.
P.P.S. While I welcome newer players in general (who weren’t even playing when Blade came out), don’t think for one second that you deserve a god-tier 5* after 90 days. Stick to COD and lag switches… Your sense of entitlement makes me sick. You need to SUFFER thru all the nerfs, loss of PB Synergy, the v12 patch, weekly AW rule changes, et al. like the rest of us before you deserve him.
Funny how they kept the 300 unit FGMC tho hey. Seems it's ok to if you willing to spend
Because of the addition of medusa/mepthisto, etc. To the pool early Feb. Whom will be in the subpool possibilities?
That Crystal has been recently added. The changes to the Featured are after a great deal of time, and subsequently changes that have taken place in the game. No one is forcing anyone to spend on it if they're personally offended by it. Lol.
So that makes absolutely no difference an my original statement stands.
It makes a great deal of difference considering the 5* Featured was changed because the game has changed a great deal since it was started. They're not going to automatically do away with the FGMC just because they're making changes to the other Crystal. It's fairly new.
