the worst lingering bugs to hit the game without any resolution even after hotfix patches were released, pure money wall 6* gates, and very questionable leadership decisions on the direction of the game.
I’ve been playing this game at top 3/master AW, top maps all AQ, grinding out all content, spending thousands over the years and loved every moment of it. No regrets to where I’m at today in the game. But I made a promise to myself that as soon as this game stops becoming fun, I would drop it for good. This and the past month has just about pushed me to that point and even when/if they fix these lingering bugs, we all should know the overall game won’t be changing much going forward. New meta, higher catalysts sure, but there’s no more trust that Kabam can develop anything new without breaking the increasingly complicated interactions of the game.
Chasing prestige is actually fun, weighing the decision between who to rank for prestige or utility is a solid game decision that can define your account. However, there’s no way the average non-millionaire can compete with sig 160+ 6* prestige. It’s a wrap at that point. Having to spend more money and resources due to bugged deaths will never change. This game has been making way too much money for Kabam to initiate any significant change to what they’ve been doing “right” all along.

it's discouraging to go through these bugs during resource intensive content such as AQ and AW and having to wait days (in this case multiple weeks) before a fraction of the bugs are fixed. at this point, we still don't know if the hitting into block bug, backdraft intercept bug, and sp3 dash bug is going to be resolved. there has been little communication from the mod/admin side, and it honestly feels as though we're being left behind and in the dark.
i'm sad because i have so much fun interacting with the people i meet through the game, but this month/update and the way we've been treated has really left me bummed about what comes next.
no rewards being updated...even with harder content coming, being left to play with crucial bugs, hot and cold communication on the forums. I want to look forward to playing this game, but all of this has made that impossible these days.
we're left in limbo as to how the game will treat us in the next few weeks. all I'm really asking is for me to know that these issues will be resolved instead of being covered up with new content announcements.
but no matter what new content comes next, i just can't get excited for it while the quality of the game and communication here is so poor.
My alliance has finished the last few seasons in plat 3. We run maps 5 and 6 in AQ. I, personally, have had better than average 5* crystal luck and have more champs to rank than I have resources to do so. Currently, my r5's are Blade, Corvus and Domino. I have the materials to r5 another but haven't pulled the trigger as I have so many options and haven't decided yet. So, for me the boredom isn't from lack of materials/options or bad RNG as it is for some people. For me the boredom is the contest itself.
My general lack of desire to play stems from many issues with the game. First, the new champions are overly complicated compared to the relatively easy to read and understand abilities from the past. The constant addition of unstoppable and unblockable passive abilities and nodes (these fights are just drawn out and tedious) is driving me insane. Sentinels in AQ are also just tedious. Kabam increases the difficulty of content and then "down the road" increases rewards to match that higher difficulty. Kabam is also too slow to resolve issues with the contest and when major issues arise they are loathe to compensate the player base in any prompt or meaningful way. Other games I play send compensation packages all the time for issues I never even noticed. You can't 'not notice' the issues this game has had in the last couple years.
We also seem to be used as guinea pigs because it is obvious with every update that Kabam either doesn't test new content at all or they don't have a competent beta testing team because the bugs are never-ending. Speaking of bugs... when the bugs are supposedly fixed the result is not what it used to be. Case in point - punishing sentinel L1s. It used to be easy. Period. Now it's been addressed and supposedly working as intended, yet it's a **** shoot at best in the current state. The AI is obviously being tweaked with every update to make fights more difficult and I think a lot of the bugs stem from this constant tweaking.
As far as Kabam trying to increase spending... I have no problem with that. It's a business and business thrives on profit. However, the business will struggle to thrive on profit if it drives it's player base away through tedious, boring, unrelenting content. I was going to buy an Odin to pick up the 5* Vision offer and then changed my mind. I couldn't justify spending $100 for a champ in a game when every single day I consider quitting.
The game has lost most of what I loved about it. It seems to be heading in a direction I don't wish to follow. It's only a matter of time before my bond with my alliance just isn't enough to keep me playing. It's sad really.
