**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.

It wasn’t an accident. They wanted us to use as many of those resources as possible before this announcement. Just 100% shady, no two ways about it.
How much do you want to bet that there will be a “deal” soon for rank up materials? Like $500 for half of a t5b.
Like it or not, removing Diversity was at the request of the Players. Months of feedback. Now people want Tickets, and that will only cause more problems.
I know you're not programming the map and literally you are the voice of Kabam's wishes.
Back when the old map was in play, people didn't care about who they faced because they knew they'd face 8-10 of the same champion if they were so fortunate or unfortunate.
That was before M.O.D.O.K. Dormammu, Domino, IMIW etc.....
This is a bloodbath.
Do your experiment, I can guarantee that like in years past we will overcome this plan as well. Because at the end of the day, we are the end user. Keep changing your systems and protocols when we beat you at your own game. We are better than you think. You have trained us for these events. Monthly quests that are near impossible are beat by many players.
Special events that we knock out of the park. YOU CAN'T EVEN give us a real challenge! YEAH I SAID IT!
Didn't you make it EASIER for Easy and Normal to 100%? So Alliances will learn AW with 100% completion, progress up the tiers to Hard (my current Alliance level, Silver 1) and then after that we're not supposed to 100% anymore? Won't Alliances figure out the point in the 80-90% range that becomes the new 100%?
Kabam want more spending not less, it would not surprise me if they make maps overly difficult and their solution to "help" the community progress on the maps is to lift the item cap, win win for them.
Bait and switch is a form of betrayal. Encouraging people to rank champions for diversity sake, then all of a sudden removing the diversity mechanic.....leaving nearly every single player in the game with worthless rank ups and wasted reources is a form of bait and switch. Doing the math: Bait and switch equals betrayal. Betrayal equals being betrayed by a bait and switch. Math is fun!!
It's like that old saying: if someone calls you a jerk, you should probably ignore it and consider the fact that they might be the jerk. If EVERYONE around you is calling you a jerk, chances are you are a jerk. Call it what it is, not what you might think it is. It is what it is.
The community is in an uproar, the likes of which I haven't seen since the update 12.0 debacle. That's not good AT ALL. This would be a great opportunity to work with the community and provide support plus limited rank down tickets to show that this was not a deceptive, money grabbing tactic. Instead, Kanam has chosen to squeeze even more money out of already stretched players, following this last AW season of stressfulness, and increasingly alienating the whole community.
You cannot run any business on the face of the Earth in this way and expect to remain open. My two cents.
P.S. We all love this game, this is why we are here. We want to see great things from Kabam. We also want to see some form of fairness and appreciation for making this game what it is. Without the players the game wouldnt be here in it's current glory. It would have dissipated long ago. We love this game and want it to remain fun and interactive. What we don't love is extortion tactics and being exploited. No one likes that. Please think about what you are doing to your consumers and community. Please.
True... And at that moment kabam might say... We understand your frustration.... Oh btw we just fixed AW defense synergy. You should not see domino iWIM Medusa as much because we need to bring champs to synergize with them like the royal family synergy LOL
Remember that you get 9k t5b shards from doing the uncollected monthly quest, and get shards from the crystals you get as well.
The ONLY i like that they've done is guarantee some t5b shards at the end of the season for gold 1.
Plus it’s when Aw placement opens. If no one logs in your ally losses a war. Even if it’s a lose that’s missed shards.
I get it. Unite and so them up. But only 1 day isn’t goin. To do anything. Even to them they know the next day will be back to normal business. Drop in the bucket if you ask me.
We need another spending protest. That will effect stuff and can be prolonged as long as we want it to last.
b/c their goal is to make it so players aren't able to 100% ... which results in feeling awful and/or letting one's alliance down.
not playing the game worked wonders for destiny 2 it had a huge player drop the next month devs started making changes for the community and started actually useing feedback
1) It doesn’t mean it’s easy. Without question, people spend far more items on war than in any other part of the game. It’s not 100% completion for lack of difficulty, but because of our commitment to finish for the lucrative rewards seasons provide. Barring some kind of boycott for these changes, you will see that our commitment isn’t going to change.
2) You don’t seem to care that the same people spending to win wars are using no items to 100% AQ, any difficulty of the monthly EQ, or any other content. Why should 100% be the standard throughout the game and the rarity in AW?
3) You’re making it easier to 100% in lower tiers and difficulty ratings of AW.
People have been saying this, and I agree: the reason for these changes is because, after 2 seasons of watching top tier alliances spend massive effort, resources and $$ to win wars, you figure we would be just as willing to keep it up even if the cost goes up.
You may be right, Kabam, but you’re infuriating your players.
and why is 100% exploration a problem? what's wrong with rewarding the player and feeling like they helped the alliance by completing their path. This is only a way to increase item sales.
My problem with all of this is saying that Kabam needs to make a changed because it's causing problems? causing problems for what? Explain what the problem is and why it hurts the revenue of your video game and pushing the issue on the player base for your poor planning. This doesn't make me or anyone really happy. so why do it? who's praising the changes saying, hey this is an awesome change/enhancement?
-For Continuously changing the meta
-For Releasing poorly designed champs like Domino
-For recycling lame tedious content
-For not coming forward with a new AQ season - seriously it's not a season, a season has a start date and and end date, and in sport/game, provides a reward at the end of it/crowns a champion
-For poor communication
-For not addressing the bugs and only expediting bug fixes that benefit the house
-For not listening to your player base
