Cumulative Comp Discussion

Is the cumulative comp for the issues back at the end of July still in discussion? Just didn’t want it to be glazed over and forgotten with all the mini outage comps.

Bro I'm glad I'm not the only one that has noticed how snarky a certain "community manager" is with his responses on here. He gaslights hard when anyone calls him out on it, lol.

Dying is definitely an over used word here… like the “B” word.

I do think back to when there was multiple alliances like NY718, and it does seem like there are less creators these days then their used to be. So maybe the more appropriate term is recession…

I go back to last November when we got 60fps, the game felt fresh, gameplay felt a little bit crisper and people were excited and coming back. In hindsight it feels like an empty promise now, a promise of finally fixing so many of the gameplay related problems that caused people to leave. But instead of that direction we have all these things nobody asked for… MCOC on PC, MCOC the card game, the dimensional flash game, and so on…. Just seems like they want to spend resources on anything and everything other than technical improvements that tighten up the core gameplay hoping to find the next BGs… and that feels like the early stages of a really bad spiral

Oh yeah, spending resources...

They are probably all hands on deck on the live in person summoner fest right now. Cool idea, cool event, maybe a bit late, its not like its gonna turn into what Blizzcon used to be at this point.

They are neglecting the gaming experience and it shows.

neglect might be too generous at this stage. It’s like they’ve thrown in the towel on anything that doesn’t generate revenue or eat consumables

Kabam already confirmed they are sending out compensation.

ahmynuts

We are getting compensation.

TotemCorruption

I mean, the game is still borderline uplayable, I have the sigil and don't even do arena anymore because of the lag.

But yay, compensation! All the idiot losers in this thread can rejoice over a quick dopamine hit of free rewards!

I would've honestly preferred the announcement of an upcoming fix instead of compensation. We've had those issues for almost a month now, "we're working on it" isn't as pleasing to hear at this point. Haven't you been working on it all along or not until recently? The fact that we still don't have a fix live or scheduled is ridiculous either way as we're closing out the month.

I mean I appreciate the compensation but considering how they stayed silent for a month just to come up with a whole lot of nothing to show for it is mind-boggling. Disappointing as per usual, most people may be satisfied by a compensation but I'm not no matter how big it is. I'd like to enjoy the gameplay over numbers going up.

What if you went on to claim the compensation but it just wouldn't load. Think about it...

BringPopcorn

Lol this compensation is for connectivity issues … they are gonna bundle everything now. How convenient 🤣

And why are you guys happy or upset? You guys don't even know what you are getting lol

I just want them to fix this **** state and make sure things work in a playable way. Get things like raids fixed ffs, every single raid with every single change has been bugged.

It's been ridiculous with back to back disconnects, right when it matters. For all I care they gonna give some raid revives and be done with all this like it never even happened.

DrZola

There are plenty of folks just looking for free stuff, but I’d like to think there are more than a few who’d prefer a game that:

loads promptly
plays smoothly without dropped frames or inputs
stays connected during and after fights.

As a substitute for a well-functioning game, however, the only thing that constitutes an admission from the team that things aren’t working correctly is a comp package.

And when it feels like you have to wrangle that admission out of the team it seems you get threads like this one.

Looks like we all are getting some comp afterall. And some people thought it would go unnoticed lol

I think everyone would prefer that. It's just at this point most think it's never going to happen and are on the verge of leaving, so we'll take our free sh*t and leave at some point in the near future.
The ship is sailing for Kabam, and they aren't going to correct it.

Watch the livestream today, it'll be all about new game modes and content and champs and nothing about any substantial changes or progress on issues that have been plaguing their game

Feeling nostalgic this morning and I remember how things were when the game first came out, before Kabam got bought out by Netmarble. Back in those days, if the game some much as had a hiccup we got some sort of compensation almost immediately. Back then these compensation packages were small and that was ok. It was the fact that the Kabam team cared and was trying.

I left the game for 3 years, came back about 6 months ago now. While there are so many new things, and some good features like the 60fps, it was very disheartening to see that whacky AI and dropped inputs are still happening just like they were when I left.

Furthermore, while Miike had his moments and we certainly went round and round in DMs on issues but he never had the level of snark or condescension that Karate throws at these forums.

I have no doubts that Netmarble, like so many companies, is a completely soulless entity that only cares about money and pushes that agenda hard onto Kabam. That said, if the front facing employees at Kabam actually made the community feel like we were all in this together and they truly cared about the game and our experiences instead of long periods of silence followed by snarky comments things would be a lot better.

DrZola

Everyone wants to be a Twitch star but no one wants to fix the game.

We are running on fumes right now. We do low effort AW and I’ve been on vacation so I haven’t had first had experience of how bad the game feels in AW specifically.

Spoiler: AW gameplay just as bad if not worse than the other modes. Clunky+glitchy.

1000% agree. The free stuff acknowledging that they aren’t performing at acceptable levels is bare minimum ****, they need to actually work on stabilizing the game and addressing core mechanical bugs… like Dust STILL causing lag since release… I mean wtf guys… parry is back to not working… wtf guys. You fix the “silk lock” but not AI moving faster than frame rates… just ugh.

And yeah… sadly here comes another sales pitch steam of empty hype… would it kill you guys to be real?

Yup you are right. I don't want to be distracted by a cookie. I may act like a kid; but a cookie is not going to make my boo-boo better...

I agree. I have played since 2016, and I’ve kept playing because the game was fun. I’ve always appreciated compensation, because it indicated the game team cared. Fixes have often been slow to come, but they came. That hasn’t been the case in a long time. Shiny new content continues to be released into a severely broken game. At the same time, the resources that could help sustain you through the frustration of the brokenness have systematically been reduced. That increases the frustration, and removes much of the fun. Give me a game that works as expected. That’s all I really want from Kabam.
