You just have to expand the possible meanings of the word "around". It's clearly a very large circle. This is a new record for it

Unfortunately, and I hope I am wrong but based on where the company seems to be going, I suspect that it has been pushed out till today or tomorrow so that the Nico/Karolina one will come out a month later, i.e. after the cyber weekend deals. I would recommend everyone hold off from spending for this year's cyber-weekend deal unless that update comes out before it and your find with what it includes. Personally, that is what I will be doing this year and will completely stop spending permanently if Nico or Karolina get nerfed.

I genuinely think so, but to be honest, I think Spider-woman was the passing of the event horizon of the game. I think everything else is just an acceleration. With this being said, I can't get back my money, so I might as well enjoy the show.

I really think we passed the point of no return when they allowed photon to shut masteries off but I'll be a little generous and say the true Canon event was them not rebalancing serpent. Everything after that has been a snowball rolling downhill

I can’t wait for mid October… oh it finished a while ago, I wonder if kabam has some sale planned this month end, so they are avoiding bad rebalancing posts.

Cyber deals will extend into December anyway, so players can wait for the balance update no matter what.

Thats why I am afraid of investingon them. My nico is r3 but I am holding sigs and r4 mats until her balance info. Mykarol will stay at r1 until balanmce info. But it hurts to see everyone in bgs having both at r4.

Same here. Nico is R3 and waiting for balance update next month(?) to R4😒

Also, Looking at no. of R4 Nico, Karoline Dean in BGs, I'm thinking kabam would offer rank down tickets if they are nerfed/balanced down.

Woh really, still nothing?

27th Oct is quite far away from mid Oct. Heck it is closer to Nov than mid Oct. 🤣

Any update on this @Kabam (Osaurus) Rex @KabamPinwheel

EmpereurDoom

??? Everything become long with kabam now...

What do u mean by "balance"???

R they going to be nerfed or buffed???

I ask because I have a 7* r3 Phoenix that I'm thinking of taking to r4.

They always say mid-month, but it never is. They should probably change it to ‘around the end of _’ to be more accurate

Rank down tickets are fine, but what about sig stones. kaboom won't give it back right.

Already, Champ release to Champ Balance update has huge time gap . Also, some players are skeptical thinking it is not safe, about ranking up champs before the balance update and now even these balance updates are delayed. 6months is too long wait especially if we got lucky and pulled a new champ and cannot be sure to invest resources in that champ. @Kabam (Osaurus) Rex @KabamPinwheel

Sambob

To be fair they are doing 4 this time.

But I'd like to add that I'm also done with this game if they nerf Karolina. She's the most fun champion they've designed in years, and maybe ever. And I love how powerful she is. All I look forward to in this game anymore is saving titan crystals for new champions then rank 4'ing them. If that isn't safe to do anymore, I don't want to play the game anymore. And I've stuck around through a lot of ****.

To be fair, they knew it was four champs when they said mid-October. This isn't the first time they've been late, it's just the most significant case of it.

Kabam (Osaurus) Rex

Hey, mid-October could mean October 2nd - October 30th… right…? 👀

There will be a longer balance post this week, working through things currently.
There were a few balance things that threw off that mid-October timeline this round.

OOh Mike, you know what you have just done. You now have just give the team only 2 days to get the details out 🤯🤣.

From the sound of that, I guess we might get some details on other champs from now standard release too.😬

Anyway thanks for the response anyway 😊

Sounds like they are trying to come up with ways that justify Dark Phoenix while you nerfed spider women.

Plenty of players also spent $0 on her, and everyone that got her got plenty of other stuff along the way.

Nah dudes, I’m sticking to my original thesis. This is to push back nexts months passed cyber weekend. I hope I eat my words though, I’m rooting for an ethical company.
