    Hey All,

    We have made no changes to how often these come around. They're still random and have no set schedule. Sometimes they have longer absences between coming around.

    Y'all really love your conspiracy theories :tongue:

    Why are they random? What is the point of boosts being random and not on a schedule? Also please check out my post with the network connection issue messing up people in AW are we going to get refunds for that?

    You need to regulate how long any item can go before being available. 3+ weeks is a joke.

    Only 2 more days and we will have a whole month of the power boost not being sold. @Kabam Miike if you guys remove a boost from the store it would be nice to know about it.

    It could quite easily be RNG, could be coded like If X = Y then sell booster Z

    Where theres about 100 numbers for every booster but the power boost for Y so you have an incredibly slim chance of this boost actually appearing

    Hey all,

    Just to be absolutely sure, I talked to the team and asked them to ensure that we didn't change anything or remove any of these boosts, and we confirmed that they are still in the pool of items that can appear. We don't have different rates for items to appear in the Loyalty Store, so they are not more or less likely to show up than anything else.

    That said, I'm going to start a discussion with the team with all of the feedback that you guys have given us here.

    Well if nothing is changed and it's still this terrible then maybe Kabam should change how these are rolled out. It screams of a money grab as they've made zero attempt to hide the how much they want alliances to fail at completing maps. We just took on an alli in t2 that couldn't get to 2 of our bosses, highly doubt even remotely stocked they would have failed so miserably.

    Even with the week off they didn’t provide us with any gray boosts it’s the same thing over and over every day them avoiding giving them up. They drop a gifting event to let people Get mega upgrades to their characters, people are running with seven rank five champions and This company Has silently removed these boosts from the game is what it is starting to look like. And what sucks about it is you’re only able to purchase two which is understandable but when they’re giving them out once a month and you haven’t even given them out once this year let alone even before Christmas it’s starting to make me lose interest in the game. When you’re a mediocre team and you’re just Have a couple the ranks fours or maybe just one rank five it’s very important to have invulnerability or advanced power to help you get past these rank five defenders which show up multiple times in peoples lanes. Even if they drop one tomorrow all that does is make me feel that you’re not gonna see them for another month after. War is no fun the three minute window you got to beat the champions isn’t even enough time at most cases.

    What about the boost crystal that you could buy for units once per week?

    Did that disappear 5 weeks ago randomly, or has it been pulled on purpose?

    Funny all this started right after the discovery that certain boosts did nothing..

    Lots of coincidences and RNG in just about every aspect of the game.

    Except for connection issues, those are 100% guaranteed.

    I think a schedule be great since it then means we know how many days till they show to then buy them I've been waiting on the invulnrability boost as I need it badly right now was hoping it was in store also how random is the store for the boosts as it can pick from so many that it's tough to know the chance

    @Kabam Miike please don’t be offended but I don’t think you provide a lot of helpful answers.... sometimes it seems you’re not entirely aware of what’s going on on the game.
    You need to try and do some due diligence when you read a post.... gather some facts ... go back and ask some questions because if this is what you really believe then your team are not pulling you in on all the changes they are making and just sending you out here uninformed.... that’s not great

    Let's be honest, these are the comments that drive the community nuts. They haven't shown up in a month, yet every other boost has popped twice now, but yet we are supposed to believe one of the most used boost just randomly doesn't show. Tell the team, to remove the random. Makes no sense, 1 boost each day in order. The only reason to keep them random is for your team to with hold them and blame it on RNG. Its rubbish.

    People need to understand what random is. You can go long stretches without having it appear because it is not guaranteed. What needs to be argued is that the system needs to be changed not that Kabam are somehow rigging it. Maybe have it as 'a war boost must appear in store every 3 days' or something like that.

    Yes there needs to be some sort of regulation. RNG is all well and good but it should be in every facet of the game.
