Aarkus, a dimensional being!!!!

Yotz · September 2019

He is a dimensional being but he isn't intended to be one, but he is because that's what the description says but he isn't because they just decided he isn't one cause he is working as intended, even though the intended for him to be a dimensional being cause that's what they wrote on his description, but now he isn't and 18 months from now they will correct his text saying that he is only a passive dimensional being so then it will make sense and someone will post that we should all adapt and stop complaining.

I think this is more a case of mixed terminology that's now got them backed into a corner.

I understand "Dimensional Being" with regards to Blade's Danger Sense to be more about "Denizens of Hell" rather than a universal "Beings from another Dimension/Universe". The likes of Dormammu and Mephisto make sense as beings who would trigger this from Blade, Aarkus does not - IMO of course.

The likes of Hood vs Claire Voyant needs to be cleared up of course with exactly why one works while another doesn't, but overall the balance of the game needs to be maintained and that's what's being ATTEMPTED. If a key champion, more than literally ANYONE else, can completely mop the floor with what's supposed to be an at least somewhat difficult challenge, then that creates a ridiculous imbalance between those who have that champion and those that do not. I tried using Blade, he didn't work that well, I finished up with other champs.

It's like corvus and company not being villains... makes no sense in game or outside of it, but here we are.

Why on Smokeworld not?
Simply because he was not designed to be one. There's not much more to it!

What? He wasn't designed to be a dimensional being but you describe him unequivocally as a dimensional being? That's not the same thing as Iceman not being immune to coldsnap. I understand game logic and I'm OK with that sort of thing. But you can't say he is a dimensional being but he wasn't designed to be a dimensional being. Not trying to be rude, but that's absurd. Yes... he was designed to be a dimensional being. That's why y'all described him as a dimensional being. Being a #dimensional being really only affects whether or not Blade's danger sense applies. In what way was he not "designed" to be vulnerable to danger sense, and in that case why describe him as a dimensional being? Blade's danger sense doesn't refer to #dimensional beings by the way. It activates against dimensional beings...Vision is a dimensional being but it won't work because he wasn't designed to have the hashtag? I'd give it at least a 50/50 shot they just forgot to add the hashtag but now it's how he was "designed." SMH

It’s pretty simple, as Miike said. He is a dimensional being but they decided not to give him the dimensional being tag. Read into that what you will. We should expect no less at this point.

You can have a world where Iceman is not immune to coldsnap or Dorm is not immune to incinerate. You can even say that Corvus is not a villain in this world even though that's kind of garbage. You can't make a dimensional being that isn't a dimensional being for no reason other than "because". The logic can be whatever you want it to be but it needs to be internally consistent. This is beyond stupid. I think it was an oversight and they are doubling down.

LeNoirFaineant · September 2019

Blade gets danger sense against dimensional beings. The # is just supposed to tell us that said champ falls into a certain category. Vision obviously falls into the category of dimensional beings. Now we are supposed to accept that Blade's danger sense becomes active against dimensional foes who have been processed and designated as such with an Official Hashtag? Really lame. Get it fixed please @Kabam Miike

It is lame, and it’s obvious they didn’t tag him as such because they didn’t want Blade running thru him. But this is Kabam’s world and we are just visitors. They make the rules and we abide.

BigPoppaCBONE · September 2019

Miike, why choose to double down on something so trivial? All his copy only flat out says or implies that he's from another dimension and that's where his abilities come from. Why not just add the tag? What's it hurting to apply some rational consistency at this point? If you didn't intend to make him a dimensional being, why harp on it? It could just as easily been a zillion references to Smokeworld planet with no mentions of dimensional anything, problems solved.

AndTav · September 2019

Guys, don't waste time arguing. The answer is simple: they don't want to make life easier for those with Blade. Better get used to it, from now on things will be like this, all because nowadays, a majority have this character.

Lol they removed my first post so I'll play nicer

We accepted the tagging of #Villains as #Mercenary (like Sabertooth) and others as #Thanos Army (this one is really a joke) and so on but YOU wrote his description to include him going between dimensions (which was the defining trait to Dimensional beings) and now he isn't intended to be that? Sounds like a blatant Blade nerf

A bit like ST isn't "intended" to be a villain? If the problem is Blade, just say so. People will understand that. People will not understand being treated as fools.

I don’t get it?

You’re saying he IS a Dimensional Being.

So how can it be simple that he isn’t one?

@Kabam Miike seems there IS much more to it, no need to speak down to a member of the forums... go see the devs who have clearly stated and written that he is a dimensional being!!

They will just change the description, wanna bet?

Zuro · September 2019

Kabam consistency is falling down the drain

NOOOOOOOOPEEEEE · September 2019

Honestly Kabam right now has a unique opportunity and I'm curious. What makes you think a Champion should be designed as a Dimensional being? Is there like a thing they have to subscribe too, is it like a Santa naughty/nicr list, is it solely based on gameplay elements, if it's the last one what gameplay elements help decide it?

Blade isn't nerfed. Blade isn't changed at all. Blade is still Blade. If a champion isnt tagged as either Dimentional or Villain or part of the Mystic Class, doesn't mean its a nerf. It means he can't get Danger Sense. A nerf would mean Danger Sense no longer activates for the Mystic Class. Stop calling it a nerf when it isn't. Argue about the inconsistency with tagging but its not a nerf.

Repto23 · September 2019

You're nerfing the effectiveness of his abilities by excluding that one label. Does this effect any other champion other than blade? They are reducing someone's ability to fight (i.e nerfing)

Not a nerf, they're just dodging him. Why? Who knows? He's barely relevant even though he still puts in work most months for me in UC EQ.

I agree that they can do what they want with their world up to a point. They can make whatever rules they want but they do need to be consistent within those rules. You want to have a group called Thanos's Army and not call them villians? I think it's the wrong call but whatever. You want to decide that a dimensional being in the Marvel world isn't a dimensional being in the game? That's OK too. You want to make a dimensional being in the game immune to danger sense because of some ability he/she has? That could work. But you don't get to make a dimensional being who is immune to danger sense because he wasn't "designed" to have a dimensional being Hashtag. Blade's danger sense works against dimension beings. Kabam says Aarkus is a dimensional being. It's pretty cut and dry.

By your reasoning, Warlock "nerfed" Blade too. He doesn't bleed. Why aren't you complaining about that. In fact expand it. Warlock has nerfed every single poison and bleed champ plus Iceman. We need rank down tickets right now. All those nerfed champs out there.

Repto23 · September 2019

Lol... if he wasn't bleed immune but just didn't take bleed damage or get the debuff than I would say it's broken, just like Aarkus

Aarkus, a dimensional being!!!!
