You are generous by giving 6/10

ahmynuts

Because of what they just did with chain offer. Its a 4/10.

Getting tired of their sh*t these past few months.

Every time they genuinely do something good they have to balance it out with like 6 bad things

The lack of communication especially with the disconnects & lag lately has been really frustrating. It's making something I do for fun very not fun. Had to fight Rags in EQ 3 times due to spinning wheel of doom. 3/10

@ahmynuts What do you mean? It's an Offer like any. Plus you get 3 free Crystals.

Sorry for the tag, for some reason I can't reply to any comment on here.

Theyre reunion crystals, not rebirth crystals but they included a rebirth token to trap players who dont know better to waste their units thinking this is a rebirth event.

Malicious intent at worst

Unintentionelly preying on their players due to negligence at best

That's a very hot take on something that's included in a Sale.

For me, 5/10…neutral. Find myself enjoying certain things and then shaking my head a few moments later.

Things I enjoy:

Radiance - Allows us to target the things we need, when we need them.
Game team trying new things. The game needs to evolve and stay fresh, so continue to look at stale content.

Things I shake my head at:

Bugs happen, especially with new content, but the frequency with which we're seeing major issues is far too frequent.
I don't have an issue with the escalation of cash-based offers. I feel like they have done a pretty good job with having something for everyone, whether it's a F2P or spenders. The issue is that with the the frequent issues/missteps, the uptick in offers feel off-putting.
Community engagement or lack thereof. Forums used to be engaging. This isn't a shot at @KabamPinwheel (you do really well), but we used to have multiple moderators that stayed engaged with the community. As the team branched out to Discord, Facebook, Twitch, YT, X, etc., engagement suffered.

MCOC is great and I can't discount the fact it's been a staple in my every day for the past 10+ years. Don't lose sight of what has kept many of us here.

I still wonder if at least one person shows up in the office any day and just says "Come on guys wtf!!" Or if its all high fives and motivationals speeches.

Probably more like The Wolf of Wall Street vibes - chest thumps, high fives, and someone screaming 'SELL MORE OFFERS!' in the background.

it feels like a game that’s on a dedicated kamikaze mission. Maximize wallet destruction as you purposefully destroy yourself through a series of careless and wreckless decisions

Game has always been a 5/10 and never above that mark imo. Which for myself means (not worth spending any money on),..but still worth spending a bit of time on.

Non-Alliance Content- 8/10- A bit much but good content.

Statcast Relics- 7/10- Great addition but overwhelming amount of information.

BGs- 6/10- Same old, same old. Though I like not being able to decline matches.

AW- 4/10- Bring back the test format.

AQ- -1000000000000/10- Burn it with hellfire.

Gameplay- 9/10- Currently don't have any AI issues aside from random occurrences that I can't replicate. I will get my new Pixel 10 Pro XL next week so we'll see if anything changes.

Monetization- 2/10- It's too much. It's becoming more like Marvel Strike Force and Marvel Future Fight. Both games are heavy, heavy spending games. The chain offer is laughable. Also I see popup offers are back and just as terrible as 2500 units for a 4* crystal.

Overall- 7/10. The Crucible content has been fun. I enjoy the statcast relics but I am getting tired of everything becoming a spending event. Also, AQ sucks. Aside from arena, it's the worst piece of content in the game. There isn't a single thing about it that I like. My opinion heavily lies on the fact that I am not experiencing most of the AI issues or bugs others are.

I enjoy the game a lot rn. Lots of things to do this month. I completely agree with demozy and give 6/10 he pretty much said everything I wanna say, But bgs are very tough nowadays I am personally facing lots of whales and struggling to climb up in VT.

Monubean

Glad I quit, so my rating stays the same when I left, respectful a 6. Now kabam, they get a 2 as company

Gameplay 3/10. AI is getting worse by the day. Parry is a scarce attribute. Any and every screen takes ages to load, The BG objectives bug is still holding up strogly, relics screen is very complicated to navigate and many more.

Solo content 8/10. EQ, SQ, the Fintech challenge and Crucible are pretty enjoyable.

Alliance content 6/10. The same thing over and over, pretty boring after that many years. (This doesn't mean I liked the test AW season at all).

Realm/community Events 6/10. Aside some Major flaws on milestones, like getting sig stones for a certain group of exclusive champions pretty early and the awakening gem waaay later, all these events don t look very well thought and calculated. At all. If every time we need Kabam to help with extra points, that s a big L.

Monetization 1/10. The aggressive tactics we encounter for the past couple of years is too much, and making the gap between whales and everyone else unreachable. And to the point that, for the first time in MCOC s history, being a casual spender or a dolphin, is completely irrelevant. And that makes me and many other mid level spenders to stop carrying for offers alltogether, since they don t make any difference now for competitive gaming. If Kabam wants for everyone to become f2p and thinks that a hundred whales are enough, well, they re not.

I do feel like the new offer Chain was pretty bad. I feel like there has been an absolute firehose of content over the last two months which has led to more bugs than normal. I personally have been having fun with the game but if I wasn’t on Summer vacation for most of this saga I would have personally felt very overwhelmed.

What I don’t understand is why there seems to be a big upswing of connection issues.

Gameplay 4/10 - I'm not a fan of "Why didn't my parry work? Now I can't reparry either? Is it a node? Nope. Now it's working again. WTF!? Dude just warped across the screen to hit me. Good thing the special button chose to ignore me hitting it fifteen billion times so I couldn't get the special intercept instead of smacked in the face."

Graphics 6/10 - How is this still not figured out? Why can't they stay at the highest level? Why is it still that a 2025 flagship phone can't keep effects like Magneto's heavy warp where it's a tossup from one day to the next if it'll be downgraded or not?

Monetization X/10 Unscored - I do like being able to pay for a champ I want, but I don't like the constant crappy deals and micro transactions. One of my big complaints has been that getting new champs or champs you want has been a PITA, Kabam's gone a long way in fixing that. On the other hand, just because I'm willing to pay for specific things I said I wanted to buy doesn't mean I might have interest in buying any old garbage.

Champs 3/10 - Kabam's soooo scurred of releasing another Hercules that everyone except OP defenders pre-sucks with logical chunks of kit missing/inexplicably set to dumb or only has a special little niche where they're good and those matchups are always highlighted to the point of obnoxiousness. Too many champs that basically do the same thing. Waiting for the next Onslaught/Bullseye counter is like waiting for the bus. If you missed the last one, there's another one coming in a bit.

As far as new champs, forget about it if it's a champ the general public might recognize, because they're gonna suck. Virtually unknown outside of comic nerds? They might be OK. Champ that the designer feels attached to? Gonna have meta tools. Female (or defender) and the designer's a fan? "We can't have Hercules/CGR/Scorpion, but all this is fine?" will be said.

Reworks/Updates 8/10 Cyclops/Iron Man/DPXF doing a ton of heavy lifting here (last batch only 2/10) - Woof. I know we asked for more of them, but these latest efforts ain't it. Sabretooth? LOL. For these things to take so long and then get a featured promo position, they have to be better. Maybe take a look at the things that the people you asked for opinions told you about. It really seems like there's an organizational push to ignore low hanging fruit and never reuse assets.

AW + AQ - trash beyond trash. need to be entirely reimagined. Maybe by a 3rd party, because it continues to suck after who knows how many attempts. I only hold my nose and participate when required.

Content 8.5/10 - I absolutely detest the old style of Everest content. Long fights like in Abyss or Epoch are my Kryptonite. Hate em. Champ switching is my jam. If I didn't have the roster to support that, I would probably hate it, though. I am getting sick of Protection, and annoying timers seem to be creeping back into the mix, so I hope that stops.

RoL 2.0 with no annoying timers, minimal/no nodes, no random evade/miss, no damage caps, huge health, maybe 2X attack. Let's really see what some of our champs can do.

I sent my thoughts to Kabam via the survey they asked me to fill out.

Some people in this thread are literally not even playing the game and still giving their thoughts like they matter.

Game barely even loads and takes forever when it does. Sinking ship.
