What does Act 5 have to do with the 12.0 nerfs?
To be fair, is it just uncanny timing how such a rank package is offered after the biggest money making Defender in AW had his basic, of which was the highest basic score yet in the new arena's. This offer while financially isn't terrible it is however from a PR perspective. The community see's through it and the BS bugs in the game. Had they made this offer in a few weeks after a few of the bugs had been ironed out you may have a more receptive audience. But it's good to know you made it to the new forums, to make sure you pat them on their back. As we have clearly seen you must need offers like these to progress in the game. It's deceptive and shady to think that low of us.
BUT, as many have pointed out, that is not a "one case of bad timing" though you refuse to accept it based on your own criteria of considering those instances as one. Even then you can't deny the DP nerf and the marvellous crystal (5*) deal. So there have been at least 3 such instances
Act 5 was designed with the changes introduced in 12.0 in mind. Kabam Miike said as much:

If they designed Act 5 with the 12.0 changes in mind, then any deals that appeared after the announcement of Act 5 would have been with the knowledge of the 12.0 changes.
The Marvelous Crystal was not a nerf. It was an offer for a list of Champs. Part 3 of 3. When they improve the 5* Crystals, which was long-overdue, I don't consider that a nerf.
As for DP, I'm not familiar with any nerf. If you have a link to reference, I would look at it.
Buyer beware. You know what usually follows these. I don't necessarily think their intentions are nefarious, I just don't think the left hand talks to the right. Marketing has their plan and marketing typically isn't in tune with the day to day issues.
They are connected when people buy those deals to use on specific champs like DS or SW. Then those champs get nerf. Hence the connection. Maybe 1 out of 10 people bought those deals and used it on someone other than one of the god tier champs. Web you can sit and argue with us but the majority here can make the connection. If you need we could draw you map, if you require visual guides in the future please ask in advance.
Not necessarily true. There are tons of aspects of a design that have nothing to do with 12.0 and it's changes.
Tuning the nodes to 12.0 could have been as easy as removing 100% champion boost.
My name is GroundedWisdom. There is no connection. It's accusations based on circumstantial evidence. If you have some evidence besides a vague timeline, I may consider the idea. Instead, you have a series of events that are separated by many factors and made to sound related based on the unhappiness of the 12.0 changes.
Not necessarily true means that you can understand that it's possible. We may disagree on interpretation of what he's saying here, and that's fine. I don't trust Kabam. I feel that's justified based on what they've said in the past along with the timing of certain things (i.e. how long it takes to design something like Act 5). I also don't really spend money ($6 since Christmas) so they probably don't care.
PS - man, I really hate this new forum...
He might have been too busy finishing up act 1 to notice the deals so go easy on him.
That's not what Kabam Miike say in that quote. He is saying elements of Act 5 factored in specific 12.0 changes. That could just as easily mean that 12.0's changes were incorporated into Act 5 as it was being worked on, and were not part of Act 5's original design.
We know they were still testing and making decisions on AQ season four's mini bosses literally days before it was going to be launched, so we know they do not lock in things like node difficulty early in the design process. If anything, you are granting them the presumption of vast developmental foresight they have consistently demonstrated a total lack thereof. If you actually were reviewing the changes they made in 12.0 at release like I was, there was strong evidence to suggest that the Act 5 design team could not possibly have had any idea what 12.0's mechanical and balance changes were going to look like, because so many of them showed evidence of being done haphazardously and at the last minute.
People are relying on coincidences as evidence. I feel like I'm watching a John Edward reading.
The DS crystal was in mid November, which directly coincided with his Movie release and monthly quest.
There have been regular T4cc deals throughout the history of the game. They are bound to coincide with game updates. Same with 4* rank up/booster/catalyst packages.
I'm sure the 12.0 Wolervine crystal will find its way into this somehow, that coincided with "Logan"'s theatrical release in the US.
Is this websnatcher? You definitely have a high enough number of posts since the new forum is only a few days old lol
My name is beside my Avatar.
No he is saying expect something terrible to happen, when ever they give a deal that is somewhat affordable. These greedy people don't gave anything unless they plan on taking something away. Seriously last time t4cc was offered it was $100 and now it $50 yes something bad is about to happen. Its just how they operate. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
Furthermore, as we have said in the past and will say again, not everybody is going to want to take advantage of every deal. If you do not, that is okay, and your reasoning is your own.
