Upcoming Changes to Mystic Dispersion and Dexterity - Discussion Thread

No. Tickets are for major changes to the fundamental way the Champs specifically perform. Not for whatever they like. Some were given at Christmas for the express purpose of getting ready for the upcoming year, as a surprise gift. That's about it.
People Rank who they want for whatever reason they have in the current meta. It's also served them a long time in that meta. Metas change. When you have a Mastery that interferes with basic functions like Evade, and is incongruent with how newer Champs perform, an Update is necessary. Bottom line is, the Champs themselves still perform exactly how they were meant to with or without MD.
Those champs that were ranked up to be defenders are greatly affected by this. There should be options to use those rare resources where they’d still have value.
No they haven't. One definition of "mechanics" is "the details about how something works or is done". The MD mastery affects how all mystic champions work, that's why players are commenting about having in-game resources returned. Kabam is issuing refunds on mystic cores, why should only that in-game resource be refunded?
These changes nerf Dormammu's AW defender effectiveness substantially. Speculation about this is meaningless if you haven't fought a 4/55+ Dormammu boss in tier 1-3 AW. As previously mentioned, Kabam is refunding mystic cores. That tells us they know the MD/dexterity nerf is worthy of having in-game resources refunded. Not refunding other in-game resources doesn't make sense.
It doesn't affect how all Mystic Champs work. Just the Mystic Champs and MD relationship. The Mastery itself is what's changing, and they're refunding accordingly.
If you are not familiar with the gifting event, there is usually a commerce about it in your alliance where you would gift items of equal unit value to further you and your alliance in reaching higher milestones. Whether or not ,I directly purchased the item, it was purchased with units and therefore should be refunded this way.
An example of this logic would be if someone purchased me a gift and then there was a recall on it by the maunfacturer, They would refund me the cost of the item regardless .
"Expires (specifically meaning the Buff lasts its full duration)."
Her buffs work differently though, at each bar she has one buff without duration (can't last full duration if there is no duration) that changes when you cross a bar of power, then she gets another one from every crit that might be refreshing itself every time (also not lasting full duration since it refreshes before it gets a chance). And she gets a 3rd buff every time she uses a special that is a regular buff with a timer and can expire.
Im interested to hear how each of these buffs will interact with MD.
Yes with the option to re-rank if desired. Its really only effecting the dex mastery, which a large majority of people have been wanting changed for ages. Dorm still has all of his other abilities that make him a great champ in a lot of situations but again, MD is not a mechanic of Dorm. If Dorm had MD as a built in ability, I would agree with you
And yes. They issued them for Christmas because they can issue them for anything they like. The rules are their own.
I have her as a R4 5* and use her all the time. Her buffs can expire but are also easily "renewed". Its possible to either have a easier time or a really bad time if you aren't paying attention to whats going on with them.
I built my entire defense around mystic champs... Sadly I have spent my awakening gems and resources to make this happen
I would like to see MYSTIC rank down tickets for R4 and R5 champs
I'll be pretty happy to get all of those units back from the 5 ranks of MD!
I'm familiar with the gifting event, which is why I responded. You're not specifically buying the cores in that scenario, someone else is. I'm also not disagreeing with you, just fyi, but rather trying to provide what I assume is Kabam's reasoning for giving Loyalty for those cores vs units. It would be impossible for Kabam to match units you spent for gifts to the cores you received as gifts.

Why would you build and entire defense around one type of champ instead of diversifying?
So tickets are ONLY for major changes to the fundamental way that champs perform, and NOT for whatever Kabam likes, BUT they were given out at Christmas for a completely unrelated reason? You're funny. I like you. You should post more funny things on the forums - I think everyone here enjoys a good laugh.
Being someone who used a Generic 5* Awakening Gem and 99 sig stones (generic and mystic) to get my Rank 4 Dormammu to maximize his signature ability... this is a massive nerf to a champion who's sig ability relies on buffs expiring. What you are saying is, you guys are aware that this change affects Dormammu the most, yet you went ahead and implemented this change and now you will monitor it.... what are your timelines in monitoring it? Will it be swept under the rug like Pure Skill?
Since you are digging deep into the past to see what we unlocked mystic dispersion with, why don't you go back and look at who used resources on Dormammu, and give it back to us (awakening stones, sig stones, T2A, etc)... then let US decide if we want to awaken him again based on the upcoming changes. You are allowing us to decide if we want to unlock Mystic Dispersion, why not give us the option to decide if we like Dormammu and how he interacts with these changes enough to rank him back up. This would actually be fair to all of us who R4 or R5'd him just for Alliance War. The changes are great yes, but this seems to affect Dormammu the most.
Their intended purpose is what I stated. If they want to do something for people at Christmas, it's their call. Yes. It's their game.
I am not saying that I don't have other options. But I would not have ranked some of the mystic champs otherwise. It is now a waste of resources... #Benchwarmers
No, they are only refunding the Mystic Cores. You will still have your Stony Core.

No cost to rank up the masteries, from September 11 until when?
This means no gold and no cores for any mastery? or just MD?
So now you're saying they CAN do whatever they want with RDTs. Way to backtrack pal, and thanks for agreeing with me and finally changing your opinion on something.
My R5 Dormammu say thanks!
Hey Mike another question, now that it's the 1st time answer my question about the game, how about pure skill???, same thing since bw was nerfed the options doesnt work, what u guys going to do...???
Big fan, back again. Couple questions this time:
First, about the delivery of the MYSTIC DISPERSION (MD) refund:
Will it be an in-game message? Showing both units and loyalty to claim? Or will it be more like a refund just added to our unit and loyalty stash? And a message letting as know our refund was added.
I did the math, and with myself getting to rank 4 MD, I will get approximately 600K Loyalty back, but i don't remember if I used some units or not, that is why i am inquiring.
Second, some mystic cores can be acquired as a rare drops through the class daily quests, will we get those cores back? or the units equivalent? or the loyalty equivalent?
And finally, in order to unlock MD, you have to have 11 points in utility. I had to buy extra masteries to unlock it, will we get those items spent in order to unlock MD? or does the refund only apply to direct MD?
(Miike, omit this on reply)
And as a side note, to those of you requesting RDT's, stawhhhp, they ruin the game. I remember 12.0 RDT's, the higher alliances were able to rework their prestige with them and made it harder for the smaller alliances to get up to those juicy rewards. I would be highly surprised if RDT's ever make an appearance again.
Your point doesn't apply. They can do whatever they want because it's their product. That's a given.
As for the Tickets, they've expressed time and time again what their intedned use is. The fact that they gave some at Christmas as a rare surprise doesn't change that. I'm willing to bet the intention wasn't to have it twisted for the next year. There's a difference between giving them out as a gift so people can prepare for the upcoming year, and totally contradicting their use, giving thousands to people for changes to something that is in no way changing specifics of Champs, and opening a Pandora's Box of a precedent that will lead to a floodgate of asking for them.
