    Amigos Kabam;
    There's no way we can enjoy this game again. At least not if you can't solve this problems in AQ. Forget about my phone getting hot, the fact that I have to charge it because the game is killing the battery. It's all about the game problems. Parrying is not working well, the game is crashing in the middle of the battle during AQ, and then I rejoin and I see my champ with half of his health.
    We've giving a lot to this game, make it enjoyable again

    Device and Model: iPhone 7
    Device Operating System: iOS 11.4
    Cellular or WiFi: Both
    Game Version Installed: 19.0.0
    Game Mode: All Modes
    Description of the Issue: Overheating, battery drain, app crashing, random phone restarts, lag, and control issues.

    Since the last update my phone is getting very hot after only a few minutes of gameplay, and the battery is draining much faster than normal. The app will crash at random times, and also causes my phone to restart on its own, usually during, or just after a fight. The game will periodically lag during fights, and occasionally the controls do not respond correctly. When I swipe right in an attempt to dash forward for an attack, my champion will dash backwards instead. All of the above issues began after the latest update, with the exception of the control issue, which I noticed on the previous version as well.

    18.1 works fine on my iphone. After the 19.0 update, 2-3 minutes into the gameplay the overheating and game crashes started to happen. Even if the game does not crash, the gameplay will be laggy and not responsive.

    My 7+ is still experiencing problems at RANDOM.. Sometimes I can play arena for hours and my phone only gets a little warm. If I alliance search and duel a particular 6 star I’ve been picking on my phone gets super hot and locks. I put it in the refrigerator a few minutes, log back in and played more arena and it wasn’t too bad. Then I went to story quest Act 4, 4, 3 and boom phone got super hot again for lord knows what reason? It’s very odd and the issue occurs randomly as if there are bugs galore in the game. Nothing else on my phone causes problems. How long until this is fixed???? Right now my phone is cool again so I guess I will try arena until this game freaks out again...

    Device Operating System: iOS 11.4
    Cellular or WiFi: WiFi.
    Game Version Installed: 19.0.0
    Game Mode: Event Quests -> Maps 5 and 6 --- Also Crystal tab
    Description of the Issue:
    This is an update to persistent issue. Basically, the more information a page has to load, the greater the lag. This is most prevalent on the Crystals tab and on Event/Battle maps with a lot of paths to choose from. There are many pages where lag is non-existent, like Map 1 and 2 on event quests, since the content is so simple.

    The current difficulties seem to be device specific (or it coincidentally cleared up upon device switch). Using the same wifi signal, I was connected via iPad and experienced significant lag (At about 6:15PM EST). I switched to iPhone and lag was non-existent (about 10 seconds occurred between transition). Same WiFi, different device. However, a couple of minutes later, I switched back to the iPad and the lag was not present.

    I suppose it's possible it's a network error on my end; however, I don't have any issues with any of my other graphic/content intensive games (or any issues at all, except with MCOC).

    I'd love to give cellular details, but when I'm away from home, I'm usually not paying attention while playing. Usually on auto play or playing by sound and not really watching. Since I'm not giving full attention, I can't remember if I experience lag on cellular. I will try to be more mindful.

    Anyway, that's my two cent update on an issue that is a month or two old.

    ALL members

    Battery Drain, (overheats and shutdown device) problem is still ongoing

    Reminder - If a device shuts down its a warning that something is wrong. It might not boot up, You just don't know. How many times must a device shut down before it fails to restart. Overheating on any electronics devices cannot be good .

    Possible damage to battery performance, internal damage to overheating

    Impacts Android and IOS devices, (appears over time this has now affects Android)

    under investigation , test being carried out on beta sever.

    I don't believe any changes have been made to live sever to resolve the impact of patch 19.0.. i could be wrong and missed this information

    For each devices has different tolerance for each player

    It seems to be getting worse the more you play

    reduce your game time , reduces the risk of damage to your device

    Not safe. Play at your own risk, your device is in jeopardy.

    Symptoms I’ve seen imply it is more likely due to a memory management problem not with overheating.

    Device: iPhone se
    Operating system: IOS 11.1.4
    Use cellular and WiFi
    Affecting mainly arena
    Issue: the whole game in general is screwing with my phone. I’ll try and go to another app and my screen freezes, I’ll listen to music on my phone why grinding in arena and the music stops and when I swipe up to control center phone freezes and 85% turns black and resets itself. Has reset itself 4 times in the last 2 days while I was grinding in arena. Unresponsive screen tapping won’t work, home button doesn’t work, power button doesn’t work, and sometimes when getting off of mcoc to another app (LINE most of the time) that app also freezes and no suprise but once again my phone will reset. Only happens when going from mcoc to another app doesn’t happen when going from any app to another app. Once again only happens when going from MCOC to another app GET THE HINT

    I’m trying to complete arena for Archangel but my phone (iPhone 7 Plus, Verizon, using WiFi or cellular, iOS 11.4.1, game version 19.0) constantly heats up & power cycles. What am I supposed to do about the arena Kabam???

    As an additional note, I should also add that I also play on Wi-Fi only, with my old iPhone 6S. Both iOS and game software is the same version as with my iPhone 7. I experience all of the same issues as with the iPhone 7. The phone is inside and OtterBox defender case, and it will get so hot, that with the case on, that it is too hot to hold.

    Description of the Issue: Since past update the over heating problem still exists but it is not as bad with 19.0. However playing the game still drains my battery within a few minutes. Even using an iPad charger while playing MCoC will keep my battery at the same levels.
