@Kabam Miike I realise that my hostile tone may discourage you from responding to my comments so in an effort to get some feedback to my larger concerns can I have one question answered please.

Does kabam consider customer satisfaction a core value of its business model?

@Kabam Miike , could you please go over changes to milestone/rank rewards system for alliance/solo events as well as AW?

We have not announced anything in regards to this at this time. We are working on some cool new stuff, but are not ready to share that information just yet.

Is inventory space of
t4b
t4c
and most importantly
T2a going to be expanded in the update??

I’m surprised by the surprise of the community at the initial roster. Expectations are way too high around here of course there was never going to be any god tier champs in the initial release. This list is better than the initial roster from when 5* were released. Seriously you guys need to learn how to temper your expectations

Absolutely. We're always working to make sure that Summoners are having a great time in The Contest. Sometimes, we'll announce things that not everybody is going to be over the moon excited about, but we also have to think about the balance of The Contest, and the future.

When and how will we be seeing more opportunities to gain T5 basic catalysts? As of now we can only get the ones from Act 5 and the shards from the event quests. Will we get more ways to get them with 17.0? Will we have to wait even later than that?

PeacockJazz

With the Beta test on Luke Cage and Red Hulk done, will they be updated/changed before the release of the 6* crystal? If not, will their updates/changes be transferred to the 6* versions as well?

Joe77

Will there be any addressing the antiquated rewards we receive these days? 2500 gold and some t3 basic iso is ridiculous...for starters. The game has grown leaps and bounds and the rewards have remained the same. You should want new players to advance quicker. The quicker they advance the more likely they are to stay playing. For players in the uncollected level it’s like moving in molasses for he materials needed. I’ll give you the glory store is a step in the right direction and puts a lot of the power in our hands in terms of what material we choose to get with our glory. But outside of that the rewards need to be tweaked higher for aure

Will new 6* champs be added to the 6* basic crystal at the same time as their 4* version is added to the PHC or will it be like the original 5* feature champs where we had to wait a while?

Also, how will this affect milestone rewards? Getting PHC out of arena rewards would be insanely underwhelming. Even 4* wouldn't be an exciting grab right now.

think its more shock tha theres not a better mix of between gd and poor champs. I wasn't exactly expeting stark and blade but cmon that list is garbage. Angela and yondu are the best and they aren't really that gd.

As for the champs being released....what did you expect? You all saw the new featured crystal pool champs. Kabam likes putting trash champs in the crystals. It is obviously part of the roadmap they have.

What criteria did you use to decide on those champions. You know there are better options and you decided to go with the worse ones in my opinion. Why is that?

These are far from the worst choices. Do you remember the initial 5-Star pool? This is streets ahead of that, and over time, that pool became larger and larger, and included more and more Champions that players really wanted to see.

Should we dub you Kabam Pierce now? 😂

Nabz034

Will Kabam celebrate the release of 6* champs by giving everyone a generic 6* Awakeninv Gem? Please?

GbSarkar

Can we get a gif of how adrenaline is supposed to work?

I'm really happy that somebody got that reference!

Hulksmasshh

Are the people complaining that the 6* roster is garbage the same people complaining that their 5*s would be useless when 6*s come out? Because an average pool of 6*s means our god-tier 5*s will still be the top go-to champions in the game and 6*s will not dethrone 5*s for a longer time.

There are some good champs in there but this is a good thing as those with 50k 6* shards already will not be able to dominate the game immediately. We also have yet to see what the feature pool of 6*s will look like which if containing newly released champs could be great.

I agree with this and am interested in KABAMs response.

Romario26

In order to get rid of my bars I need to be as vanilla as possible.
Anyways, on to my question. With this announcement can we expect a proper exclusive challenge with 6*s that will award 5* and 6* shards along with 5* awakening gem and so on?

Hellcat

Don’t post a discussion about it. They will just entirely delete it.

SpiritOfVengeance

Because the discusssion is here no need to make your own empty meetings.

I am sorry, can we discuss the 3 rank gap between 5* and 6*? All previous rarities had a 2 rank gap, this allowed 4* to stay relevant as long as they have. 3 Rank gap is unreasonable.

Don't worry. You won't be reaching rank 3 on a 6* anytime soon if history is any indicator.

I remember a chance for Starlord in the initial 5* pool. Everyone wanted that one champ and it was worth taking a chance at the junk to try and pull him.

Having a giggle? this pool is garbage, least with the old basic starlord was there to get ppl excited. Just cause a champ can go to a higher tier over a 5* will not make them more playable. Hell whos gonna rank red hulk 6* over a gd 5*.

There’s much better ways to balance the contest and future of the game outside of adding 6*’s. Try 90% of the community not liking this. Does that matter? So next year, we should expect 7*’s to ensure the future of the game??? Kabam logic is terrible. You guys need to understand that people have been playing this game for 2+ years and have spent a ton of time and money to get their rosters where they want. Now in order to keep being competitive (AQ, AW, etc), we need to start all over again with 6*’s. Tough justifying why any of your top tier players shouldn’t quit.

No SHE HULK !!?????

Will 6 star champs still have the Special 3 mini-game damage meter that's currently exclusive to 5 star champs?

SpiritOfVengeance

Look into my eyes moderators. Your soul is stained by the blood of the summoners. Feel their pain!!!!!!!!

Vossler77

Can we sell 5* again. Its been a request for many summoners @Kabam Miike
