The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!

I would fire anyone with that pitch in a heartbeat.
Thanks for once again showing your complete and total disconnect from your player base.
Here we thought maybe some cool new content, or a game mode, or maybe a restructured rewards system (like the horribly outdated solo crystals), but instead we get this...
You need better marketing people.
If you want to do a massive tournament I would've done this:
Make the content available to ALL summoners that are cavalier to make sure the skill level is at an end game level with for a specified time limit say a week or 2.
The trick will be to have specific attackers for the event gifted to those while in the event to avoid those that dont have specific champions being at a disadvantage, these champs would obviously be removed when you exit the quest.
After the 2 weeks you select the top 27 Summoners & proceed as planned a bonus would be to fly the final 27 to Comic Con to compete! (comon you guys have more than enough money to make this happen) at least this then involves the community directly & will create incredible hype I for one would be super stoked to compete to have the opportunity to go to comic con!
I'm in south africa so the possibility of going for me in a personal capacity is extremely remote this would be my one shot & likely thousands more the hype would be incredible.
Personally, I think fun gameplay is the key, if kabam could get duels sorted so we can actually play each other in live duels. That would be great. People would freak out and the game would have a new dimension, if that was showcased in this tournament, everyone would want to watch. I'll still watch some but, I'm hoping there's something new they're showcasing.
last year to see how our “English Friend” did. I’m sure some will but I hope the ramifications of these poor decisions hit hard.
If you're going to talk to me about double-standards on being off-topic, you might not want to carry discussions over from other Threads. They didn't say anything of the sort. They said there was a big announcement.
Fun content is key without it people wouldn’t play the game but if there are horrible rewards a lot of the time it can be frustrating especially when your trying to progress through the game
Is there still going to be a separate tournament at NYCC with the wheel and all? I've been to the last two and I'm goign this year so that would be great if you still had that competition or at least the wheel
There's a little bit of bad info getting tossed around here.
It's not all content creators/youtubers. Yeah, a lot are. I'd imagine that would be bc of being able to trust them not to flip out and act stupid on a livestream maybe. But I'm not running it so idk.
I'm that first name on the list, I have one video on YouTube. It's the Lil Steve one. Yeah, it's silly but it makes me laugh. I also have been helping the community in various ways for years and now run Concierge. I don't make money for any of it (literally zero), I just try to help. I actually spend money to help lol. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of hours spent on things... For others.
My grouping has two other people that spend countless hours helping the community as well. One helps run reddit and tries to keep it working as a helpful tool for players, giving all the most up to date info and convos.. Along with organizing and managing various popular streamers' streams. This one does a myriad of other things for players as well... But most of that goes unknown and is thankless.
The other is actively building amazing tools that players can use for free to get information they don't get from other places. Idk if the site this one built recently gets them ad revenue or not, but I hope it does bc the site is amazing. And this person has also been helping players (with no benefit to himself) for years.
I could go through the whole list pointing out who's not a content creator/youtuber and describing the good things they do, but some of those people like working from the background and not being publicized. But their efforts to help ALL PLAYERS are not diminished by their want to remain more private.
That's not to say I don't get the overall sentiment being thrown around in this thread. I'm 99% sure I've said the same things in the past. "This doesn't effect me" or "I don't really care about this". I get it. But I'm also extremely excited about the fact that Marvel is involved and a ton of GOOD, SELFLESS people are involved as well. Neither Kabam nor Marvel had to this... And yes, it's marketing. What do you expect from companies? Marvel taking a stronger interest in MCOC and/or Kabam working hard to create things with Marvel... Those are both great things for all players in the long run. Yeah, it maybe doesn't mean that every player gets something for this particular event, but maybe it builds towards more events. Who knows?
But if you don't care about this thing, nbd. I just don't see that as a reason to damn it or act like it's some terrible thing. It's def not a reason to **** on the people involved when you obv don't know who they all are or what they've done for everyone. Obviously, I'm insanely excited and thankful for it... But I think I'm more excited that some really good people are involved. Would I feel the same if I wasn't involved? Definitely. I'm super proud for so many of these players. It's going to be awesome to see them play and be nervous as hell and get to check out the Marvel building.
I guess that maybe this is mostly about the announcement? I could see where people could expect something different/something more involving their own accounts... and feel raw about it. But none of us knows (despite what Kabam may say) what else is to come. In reality, it IS a huge announcement because of Marvel's involvement. And the more actively involved they are, the more possibilities for everyone. Just my take tho.
Either way, I focus on the fact that awesome people are involved and that Kabam is making moves to up their involvement w players. That's really cool. It's not a bad thing to actually be happy for people and for good things from time to time lmao.
Now flame away/smash that disagree button lol
The content creators also help many of us clear content and learn to player better. We all have our own preferences on who we watch or like... And some of us don't watch any at all. Regardless, most of the YouTube folks are trying to help players in one way or another. Yeah, there are many clickbait-y type yters out there as well lol. But that's not the point.
Just didn't wanna seem like i was leaving them out lmao. There are a ton of good yters out there and involved in this thing.
They're always talking here about watching the data and adjusting from there. Usually that pertains directly to AQ/AW or champion changes. I've always believed when they do stuff like this little tournament.. They probably watch the data and feedback in the same way.
You and I are a lot alike as far as enjoying the challenging stuff. You've been calling for some sort of tourney for a long time. I've run several of them on Line. I've also tried to push AW towards a tournament style. Maybe we can leverage this thing into more widespread events? But I'd imagine if the overwhelming data is ppl crapping on it or complaining about no rewards in their acct... It might be more difficult lmao
