Now they may not have taken the best course of action to do that but they have to try things out to know they don't work. And change is just a normal thing that happens anyway in a game like this that is constantly updating. And with change in games like this usually comes increased difficulty. Not much you can do but bare with them while they are figuring out how to best improve the game.

If people are still learning, that should be taken into account. There are some Allies that are more rigid with people dying. I wouldn't necessarily condone throwing things intentionally to gain experience.

I'm limited not by what my alliance will allow, but what I will allow my experimentation to inflict upon them. Because my conscience kicks in long before their mercy has an opportunity to.

Dude i understand the point, thats why im making this thread so they atleast have a look at it and countless others like which you are there. I just 100% act 5 2 days ago and lack of t1@ and other stuuf combined with increased difficulty is really Demotivating to proceed further.

I have not had any problems with the new aq but it is more boring. Same reason I hated modok labs some of the worse content dropped because of how drawn out the fights can be. I told my alliance mates that kabam dropping halls of healing was not them being nice but giving players revives and potions for new aq. It will only get worse once it’s done and people have to use their units and money.

Combine this with the new “bug” which has increased block recovery time, preventing you from evading back in a timely fashion. Finally, Kabam’s “inability” to increase the rewards “at this time” is just the icing on the cake and verging on insulting, if the intention was to completely alienate their player base then they’ve achieved it in spades. This is actually pretty spot on. Have 7 members retiring from Sentinels These are working professionals who join AQ & AW during lunch and toilet breaks But the ultra passive nature of the Sentinels means you cannot fight them fast, and you then get a very long toilet break. They are very skilled players, have no trouble fighting sentinels, but the passive nature killed their interest as AQ have a 3min timer on the fight and on day 5 it's a nightmare especially the skill sentinel (which need a mutant as class advantage but mutants give double analysis which is NOT an advantage)

Now they've ruined AQ, I'm sure it will take several months to fix it. It just ruined my current alliance, several of the best members quit including the leader which will be to big of hit to keep the alliance competitive so I'm having to leave which makes it even weaker. Probably going from a 15 million alliance to a 13 million one after we are replaced.

Pretty sure that point directly related to what we were talking about. Whether it's pressure from the Ally or ourselves, no one is perfect. When you're talking about failures as if it's some sort of dire transgression, that's not reasonable IMO. People are going to #### up from time to time when they're learning how to deal with something new. As I stated previously, I wouldn't suggest experimenting for the sake of experimenting with disregard to the effect on the rest of the Ally. However, how will anyone know what works best for them if they're afraid to try it in AQ because of a self-imposed sense of responsibility? There's too much pressure to win, from either side. To the point where learning is seen as an unnecessary liability.

Not free map costs for a week or 2 to offset failures due to learning curve? Kabam is 100% in the right agai, correct? You're such a mascot. Have some self respect and look at how you conduct yourself here. You just type long winded responses being contrary to anyone with a complaint alllll daaaaay.
