**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

Losing control of champs [Under Investigation]

    A sluggish mess in both AW and AQ again today. Champs either drunkenly pogo all over the place (without any input) or take root at the spot (with input). Maybe to see the grass grow. Oh well, guess that’s a pretty healthy past-time. Once again, arena is utterly unaffected.

    On the plus side, I’m so disillusioned at this point, particularly because nothing seems to be done about it, I’m spending all my game money on other hobbies now. Got some great vintage records the other day.

    AW and AQ, and MODOK’s lab are pretty much unplayable, especially boss of AW, you can’t intercept them like what is going on ?

    You do the exact same input as you ever did in this game for 3 years, and suddently it doesn’t work, amazing

    That's been everyone's point. The Moderators have seen these posts, they've just chosen not to acknowledge us.

    My personal opinion is the only way they'll fix it is to stop buying offers.

    I will state this again. These are built into the game and intentional. This is to milk money from the customer. It is pure and simple. No respectful game with revenues this high would leave such massive bugs for this long. This is a monetary strategy plain and simple

    Just gona quote u.

    In case........ you know.

    Got ya!

    Here’s what we should do to help them out. We should specify;

    (1) our device and
    (2) the champ (s) this issue occurred with
    (3) if and, if so, what we ate prior to that/those fight/fights, and in what quantity
    (4) whether or not we were watching a Bob Ross marathon, running in the background and
    (5) if so, if we felt vaguely tree-like at the time
    (6) whether we produced fruit, and, lastly
    (7) if the neighbors were line dancing in a vaguely threatening fashion when the specific issue occurred

    If we finally step up to the plate and provide them with this important info, they will investigate this. Pinky promise.

    Gonna fall out over here! Be careful you don't hula into a happy lil bush!

    On Galaxy S8+ here and I can't even play the game properly either anymore. I just lost a few champs in AW because I was tapping the screen to do a combo and my champ stops attacking during a combo (EVEN THOUGH I'M STILL TAPPING THE SCREEN). Instantly died cause I ate an unblockable special.

    Other frequently occurring bugs are:

    - Champs letting go of block WHILE MY FINGER IS FIRMLY PRESSING DOWN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN
    - Champs doing random heavy attacks (when I want to do a medium attack)
    - Champs doing random medium attacks (when I want to do a heavy attack)

    The game has seriously become unplayable and it's costing me a lot of revives/potions for no reason. It's sucking all the fun out of the game tbh. And I'm not just pissed because it's costing me items, it's also costing my alliance wars, because I'm giving away attacker kill points.


    And yes, I know sweaty hands can cause this problem. That's why before every battle I rub my hands against my clothes to dry them of any sweat. So it's definitely NOT a sweaty hands problem, it's the game not responding properly.

    Here's another thread complaining about issues with party and the unwillingness to fix it.

    This is how they make money! Pure and simple! They have to compensate for people who grew to big and can beat certain things cause the hero's they have maxed out. But to those of us who don't have that we are just profit for them. They have all kinds of BS things in act 5 they aren't listed that happen. Blocks that don't block, poison that isn't there, bleed immune champs that bleed! It's all **** to make money. They will kill the game then sell it off to GAEA like the other games that greed killed!

    Aw just started. First fight I bring DV and meet Doc Oc. First bit is perfect. I have him. Easy. I parry with the intent of unleashing a special. Parry registers. I attack. Champ jumps back. I start to curse a little. No matter. Just try again. I do. Parry registers. I move forward (on my screen, that’s the right), but - what do you know - the game decides I really need to move left. After which my champ freezes, ice popsicle style. My popsicle gets hit. A lot. I parry a final time. Attack. Same **** again. I’m now at the wall. Parry appears to equal death. I somehow evade a barrage and finish Oc at last. Remaining health: 10 percent. If this isn’t tackled by then, I quit the game once this season ends. Just announced in my alliance. So far, three more players - all serious, all spenders - have voiced the same intention. I’m appalled and, frankly, a bit astonished by the ungoing silence by the game manufacturer.

    This just happened to me in Modok's Lab. EXTREMELY frustrating.

    Experiencing the same issues.

    The game is ridiculous right now; my willpower isn’t activating under debuffs but sometimes I get health when I get punched? Im successfully evading and I’m seeing health being taken off me while dexteritY pops up and my champ shows no signs of getting hit, block is failing about 20% of the Time... strange things are happening with champs being on 1% and still taking two punches to finish (not punisher or hela) ...

    If ANYONE from Kabam actually reads this, please acknowledge. I lost another AW fight due to my champ doing random **** (e.g. jump back after each successful parry) or not moving at all (e.g. stop moving entirely, halfway combo). I jumped into arena immediately after. And zero issues there. It MUST be related to either AI settings, 'complicated' nodes and/or something else that's AW/AQ/hard content specific. These issues never occur in arena. Yes, there might be some jitter (slight lag) at times, but I never lose control of the champ. By that I mean, not ever.

    I am quitting the game once the AW season ends. I simply had enough of this ongoing **** and the money it costs me to compensate for a broken product. But just in case you actually want to help players who do decide to stay, THAT'S what the issue is. It's not our connection, not our devices, not the champions we use, not the food we eat, not the drinks we drink, not the way we raise our children nor the cars we drive and/or the route we take to work in order to keep feeding a game that has turned into a monetary black hole.

    There. Now do something about it. Before everyone jumps ship.

    My champs aren't blocking effectively, I get hit by an special while blocking, or while blocking the champ decides to dash forward :( and it is a problem in key alliance events causing my alliance silly kills
