The Hunger and Cure Realm event Was not thought through.

You have 1 team that is only 17% of the player base that can only get smaller and there only large source of points is from the other side giving them an item.

Cure summoners have no incentive to give out the cure, they recieve nothing for it. so why would they help?

The larger push at the begining will make many hunger summoners to jump ship in fear they will miss out in rewards.

Kabam keeps missing the same simple game design issue, Players will do what is best for them in almost all situations unless its fun, challenging or they are incentivised to do so. Forcing players to go out there way to do something thats not fun and not rewarding is not going to work. A lot of the issues that we have had over the last month can stem back to this.

Not really true. I've gone out of my way to select 2 names from the need cure thread, add them as friends and send them a cure. Not everyone wants something for doing someone else a solid. And I'm sure more players than you think have done the same.

Demo7

Do I think it's a home run event, no. But I do think more players are willing to help without getting something return than you think.

What I think the OP means, is that the infected have to destroy the cure to get points. So, unless everyone that is cured is sending cures everyday to someone who is infected and that person is destroying them, the infected get no points. I'm still infected and haven't gotten a cure yet, waiting for my alliance to all get cured. There is no point in staying infected. They should have sent a cure to everyone everyday without the gifting.

I have had 8 random people add me from the three I put my name in to receive a cure and none of them sent me anything all 5ey asked was if I could send them a cure… this whole thing wasn’t thought out at all. Yeah a couple people are surely sending the cure out but not to get destroyed so we can get points.

Dumbest realm event they ever made

don’t know what the hell is going on and don’t care either.

Mcoc designers need to have K.I.S.S drilled into their heads.

They do, but songs by K.I.S.S. and only the following:

Psycho Circus

Lick it up
Shock me

Yeh i don't know what went wrong with this.

They made out like you get a choice and we're competing but we've got different ways of gaining points and the hungry depend on tne cured? It's actually laughable how much this misses the mark.

How difficult would it have been to do something like you choose infected or cured, the infected gain points for using villains to defeat Hero's and cured gain points for using Hero's to take down Villains?

Simple, people understand how to actually participate and inspired the competition they apparently wanted. This is pathetic

Perfect_jab

I was saying the samething. Take the cure an your locked in to recieve max rewards. Stay infected an hope that alot more people stay an help gain points to get to top. Dumb. They could do alot better for an october theme. Its like all the effort goes into the wrong place every month.

acteylene

Yeah, it seems like it could have used either a mechanism for the Hungered to access the cure without having to rely on the Cured helping, or else somehow penalizing the Cured side if they hoarded the cure. I am still kind of hopeful that people might be a bit more generous late in the event, though. It's still really early & I think a lot of the people who are trying to help other players are still prioritizing sending to people who want to take the cure.

I have cures.
I want to send others.

One simple fix. The cure has to be sent each day. I have not seen a single cure yet, nor has anyone in my alliance. That would atleast level the playing field, though that would depend on how many people have already jumped ship.

Yes, same type of scenario for me. Since posting my username saying I need a cure, I've had 4 people add me, 3 of them sent me nothing, and 1 of them asked if I could give them a cure. It's not well thought out. But I fear the lesson they're gonna take from this is "well we wanted to do something fun and you guys didn't like it so we'll do less in the future."

Cpt.Nothing. Add me, I have 2 to give.

@Kabam (Osaurus) Rex you guys could easily at least make the Realm Event fair by stating that no matter which side has more points, all of the participants from either side will get the top rewards from the realm event. Because if you’re a zombie, at a certain point in the solo event it doesn’t make sense to get cured anymore – except for the realm event rewards.

isn’t that how its supposed to be? The winning side determines the reward for all. Even if your infected you will get the top reward from the other side. It just means we miss out on the profile pictures of the infected side and the saga nodes will be different or something

This what I was afraid of, the lack clarity regarding the final rewards for each side.

I did make a post to chase the details but Kabam never responded

It kind of looks like the Cured side might have hit the max peak milestone. If that's the case, I think getting the zombie side to the final milestone by the end of the event is totally doable.

The issue is what would be the point for the Cure side to send out cure now that they reach max milestone points. By stop sending cure, they guarantee the win.

I'm on the Cure side and I'm still sending Cure to my fellow Hunger side from the Alliance, becausewe are a supportive Alliance and just having dun, but how many would continue to do that?

Feel like the Hunger side have the disadvantage in this setting.

I honestly think people will help. I also think fewer people will bail on the hungered side if it looks like we can also hit the max peak milestone - everyone bailing has been assuming the milestones would just keep going. If it caps out at 7.7 million, the hungered side is about 1/3 of the way there with over two weeks to go.

Lame event and explained somewhat poorly.

But whatevs. Seems we stand to gain 10,000 Titan shards (and counting).

Get cured, contribute points to the side that has a higher total thus far, and let’s see if we can get to a full Titan as a reward!

The reason why this event is not being as competitive as it should be was no end game rewards. If for example, the Hunger group and the Cure group will compete to have the choice to choose which 7* champ everyone gets, then there’ll be a battle. Even a buff choice for example or a 7* version of a 6* locked champion (Valkyrie vs Scorpion).

But what we have is a 7* Relic choice and we don’t even know what we’re getting so no reason to be hyped.

I'm determined to stay in #TeamInfected but by goodness it's hard when I see how ridiculously ahead #TeamCure are and knowing that the imbalance is only increasing every day :(

If there were some way for Infected to find other sources of the cure and/or send infection around the Battlerealm to gain points then it would be better, but we're left to just make the jump or stay and hope…

Maybe Kabam thought that more people would destroy the cure…? I guess if EVERYONE could send the cure out each day then #TeamInfected could have a chance to share it around and destroy it every day to have even a remote chance of keeping up…
