Mods? Where are you? This topic has seen many good points made and questions asked, and all we’ve got from you guys is crickets. Can we please get some of this “transparency” we were promised? We were all told the md/dex correlation was working as intended multiple times over a very long period. Now that we’ve ranked champs to take advantage of this “intended” game mechanism it’s being “fixed” and called a “bug”. Can we please get some kind of response to the fact that it seems like you are trying to create your own loophole here?

@Kabam Miike @Kabam Valkyrie @Kabam Lyra @Kabam Vydious @Kabam Zibiit

Are you really just going to ignore all of our comments?

That’s because they didn’t say it was a bug

@Kabam Miike is there any reason MD has "summoner level 99" as requirement right now? When are you going to fix this?

How about mystic rank down tickets?if i took a dormamu to 5/65 shouldnt i get rank down ticket now that md is being changed??

Col66

How is this available for everyone to test when you need to be level 99 to apply any points??

I’ve been fairly active in this thread, and I would just like to say something. I retract my previous statements! Keep dex how you have it now! Do what ever you want to md and keep your headache of rtds. Only so long as you keep dex just like this! It’s still going to absolutely make my dorm as useful as a throwing a pebble at a giant but I’ll take that hit if you keep dex like this! As soon as the end game players realize why I’m saying this they will agree with me!

that’s all!

The update is here, but Mystic Dispersion is still unavailable to rank up, still need lvl 99. Can someone please enlighten us

Ashersbashers

Hi Mods, as others have been saying, we've been promised that on September 5th we'd have MD back, to test for a week, then decide if we want it or not, with the changes you've made. That's very fair, though I do hate it. But we're still waiting to get the MD back, and it's now September 6th. Does this mean we'll get a day less to test it? That's not very fair. I do know it's going to be a mammoth job checking data to see how much MD each player had, or MD cores bought and used. Please at least give us a revised time frame?

DTMelodicMetal

@Ad0ra_ Can we please get an update on the MD mastery being locked?

Adebaser

So, I went to move my mastery back to MD after making some changes for an LOL run and now I cant buy any at all, so I’m stuck at 0 now?

VG107

Can we get ETA when we will be able to return MD back?

Raganator

Come on Kabam. Get it together. I shouldn't be locked out of adding and removing MD if I already have it at level 5.

Raganator

Just to be clear @Kabam Lyra (since you closed the other thread), what is stated in the announcement thread is that "On August 31st, we will lock the ability to purchase any more levels of Mystic Dispersion." I already have 5 levels, all I want it to add it back. People aren't complaining that they can't purchase MORE LEVELS. They are complaining because the mastery is completely locked.

That’s not what we were discussing @Kabam Lyra

- On September 5th, with the release of our next update, we will activate the new version of Mystic Dispersion.
- You’ll then have 6 days to test out the new Mystic

Is what we were discussing. You guys said you will activate the new MD for testing over the next 6 days. How can anyone do that if we swap mastery points around for different things? Since it’s still locked a lot of people are not able to test this out.

This is the issue.

RagamugginGunner

So you aren't giving us the chance to test out MD before having to unlock it again? What the heck are you doing Kabam?

so they won't give us just 1 rdt ??? seriously ??? it's a shame ! i am disapointed by this new MD ! and my mystic champs.ranked for this interaction will become useless !!! thank you for have break my beautiful day ! for took my joice ! what's 1 RDT ? just 1 ?

tonyj007

Test MD at 1 level , I am sure support had the advantage of testing from level 1 to 5 MD. But members can only test at 1 level of MD in 6 days even if you have level MD level 1 to 5. What kind of test can you do if MD is locked on all the mystic champions you have. MD is active but unavailable for testing on different level for different champions.

I can see why this game as so many bugs. Wow . I want to say more how bad this is for members, but don't want to get banned (BS). I suppose members have to wait for test videos to see how bad or good MD is now at different level. I don't think i will add more than 1 point in MD now

sorry for members with 5 star rank 4 and 5 mystic champions

comments please

AFOMAN

@Kabam Miike @Kabam Lyra could you please address players who already have the mastery unlocked for many months, but just wanted to test out the different levels during this week of testing for free? This was said in the original forum announcement. If I can’t see the difference between level 2 and 4 for example (I repeat I have already unlocked all 5 levels), how can I make an informed mastery choice after the 11th?

This is a live game, and as such, there will always be new content coming, and changes to old Content as well. For instance, we're planning another Beta test for a couple Buffs to some Cosmic Champions coming your way soon.

You cannot always hide behind "new content coming" or your precious "meta" when customers spend money and you basically put our champions, money and resources in the trash. This is a HUGE NERF, face it, RDTs are due.

But ok, let's say we already know how Kabam act in these situations, don't you think that, AT LEAST, we deserve some compensation for your unilateral decision? Not a refund, a COMPENSATION for what is a worsening (is this the correct word?) and not an improvement.

Because basically you are giving us back only what we spent in a different era of the game, so thank you for the now useless loyalty which will allow us to get a single daily 2* unstoppable colossus for the next couple of years... WOW! This is not even a fair refund, it's just too gready.

xxgonzoxx

@Kabam Lyra @Kabam Miike has there been any discussion on gifter cores being refunded with loyalty instead of units? You can only gift mastery cores using units and the gifting event encourages us to gift for our purchases. Not refunding in they same way as was purchased is purposefully hurting players. Please reconsider.

When will we be able to place points in MD? It’s asking for a level 99 summoner as a requirement.

That's my question above your post. It's not clear if we were supposed to leave the points there in order to test them before they remove all our points from MD and refund us mystic core purchase resources on the 11th, or if they were supposed to unlock the 99lvl requirement to play with MD before the 11th with the update today.

Yes, to test the changes between Sept. 5-11 you would need to have left the points in the mastery since the ability to purchase it has been locked since Aug. 31. Sorry for the confusion!

In other words...we are out of luck when it comes to the ineptitude of properly delivering a message? Nowhere...and I mean nowhere, does it say that we would have to leave points in the mastery. Only that we could not purchase additional levels. Wonderful testing strategy.

"Sorry" does not give me back MD for another 5 days.

raziel

@Kabam Miike @Kabam Lyra this is just ridiculous. Until Sep 11th we are basically without MD. Such an awesome test you guys are conducting. Great job!

We are trying to Rank Up mastery - not purchase. It’s supposed to be working

I’m not sure there is confusion. The announcement read a particular way and the vast majority of the player base understood it that same way. Then the game team implemented the “test week” in a way that was never communicated to the player base. Where precisely in the announcement does it say that players cannot add MD points during the “test week” to levels previously purchased?

Is apology all the game team can do at this point? Surely there is a way to allow the testing that was promised in the initial announcement (either this week or in a subsequent week) to a mastery that was important enough to have its own beta testing.

They said it would be locked after the 31st. That means you would have to have them placed.

Ashersbashers

We've had two recent updates, including just minutes ago, and still I have no access to MD.

@Kabam Miike @Kabam Lyra I don't want take a confrontational tone with you, because you're probably a bit stressed with this situation. But please could someone clarify HOW we are supposed to regain access to MD? And maybe, when?

Also, was the possibility of gamers Recovering Mastery Points seems to have been forgotten or not planned for. Hence, why so many of us now have zero points in MD. How are we players supposed to overcome this?

Without MD, this game is completely broken for me. I'm not even a great player, just someone who's patiently built up my champs, over years, so this is a big deal. I even patiently unlocked and then duped 4* Unstoppable Colossus.

I accepted the neutering of Doctor Strange, but this really is hard to take.

Here’s the quote: “On August 31, we will lock the ability to purchase any more levels of MD...”
