**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.

    shorten season great, there was already a lot of pressure on players to perform flawlessly. This change in scoring means that there will be much more pressure on players to not only perform flawlessly, but to drain their item stash to keep up if they hit a road block. we already don't want to let our alliance mates down.

    This is NOT a good change for the players.

    Get your anti depressants ready! It’s time for an even more brutal season!

    Kabam you need to hire someone who plays this game for real. It’s sad seeing so many things that no one wants keep getting pushed on us.

    There's only one way we've ever gotten them to effectively listen to the community. But you can't say it or you get banned.

    and what about awakening gems for us that awakened champs used strictly for war?

    You’ve pushed people to rank for diversity and now you’ve pulled the rug out from under them. Their accounts are completely ruined. Not everyone has done this so issuing RDT’s is unfair. The diversity change is SUCH A BAD IDEA!

    They are suddenly very quiet lol
  • Will there be any further Points adjustment as Diversity points represent as much as a 4500 point boon, and as much as a 6000 point gap between the Winner & Loser?

    like the shorter season but the price to complete the maps just quadrupled. No more free fights and harder nodes.

    So, with the exception of those Nodes on Challenger and Expert that we mentioned, we haven't made any other nodes harder. The new Nodes are meant to make things more difficult, but will also be visible from the get go, so Attackers are able to bring in champions to specifically counter whatever Champion they see there.

    Removing diversity is much more important than the new nodes. There's gonna be 10+ IMIWs and Dorms on every map. I get why you did it, but it just stinks for the players.

    I don't think anybody wants to place 10 Dormammu on a Map anymore... The Meta has shifted quite a bit since Diversity was introduced, and some of the former best Defenders have met their match now. Others may seem difficult right now, but Players have already started to find the counters needed for them! This will continue to happen in cycles, because that's just the nature of a game like this!

    I’d rather face an alliance that placed diversity than an alliance with 10 dorms. Dorm might be “easier” now but he’s still more of a challenge than the diversity champs people ranked up and placed this last season.

    Yet another poor move by kabam. I understand RDTs are meant for individual champs that were nerfed, but this is a plausible situation where they are warranted. Then again, AA was needed and you all dropped the ball and reneged on your statements about RDTs for him.

    @Kabam Miike, Are we getting Rank down tickets for this? since diversity is now removed? This should be given to us

    first, stop using "iterate" as a verb. It's annoying like the way people use "summer" as a verb.

    Second - please lose the portals on all maps - when they were first introduced they were a fresh and interesting change - now they are just a stale and overused way to increase energy spend on any given map.

    there is only one question:
    what‘s wrong with you kabam?

    it seems that you don‘t get not enough money from the community

    and it isn‘t the truth that we have enough counters ... absolutely ridiculous

    Actually, this does have a solution to it baked in. While we're also going to be making sure this is something we continue to monitor for, and act on, 2-Star Wars only became effective towards the end of a Season when there was no need to worry about moving up or down. This is no longer the case, because there is no time when you are "safe" anymore.

    From experience I can tell you it doesn’t matter what point you are at in the season. First war or last people will want the path of least resistance.

    So you made the nodes harder, any changes in rewards?

    The rewards have not changed (aside from Season rewards being halved to match the change in length). This is because Alliances were still finding these Maps far too easy. The goal of these changes is to put an end to the near 100% of wars ending in 100% Exploration.

    Significant changes to Difficulty for the same rewards. Yup, seems par for the course. Nice work.

    This is Sarcasm by the way, for all you Sheldon’s out there.

    You can still use those Champions on Defense if you please, and might want to use them again in the future. This was a choice based on the Meta of the game at the time. The Meta will always change, and what might be a great Champion on Defense now, might not be in a few weeks, or a month, and then could end up as the top defender again in another 4 months.

    There will be no Rank Down Tickets, or anything of the like, for this Change.

    EDIT: For Clarity

    Smh
