  • The 14 day cool down is not random or arbitrary. It was put in place specifically to prevent players from jumping account around during the event, because there were issues in the past regarding double dipping rewards from multiple alliances. That's why the cooldown exists, and that's why it is precisely 14 days. That's as…
  • The last time someone quoted anything to me about MCOC revenue, they linked to a Google search. The first article was an out of date and obviously flawed calculation by an industry monitoring company. The second was a forum article written by me. The poster you were replying to was trying to correct you about the fact that…
  • I'm pretty certain now it never was. I mean, I'm still curious enough to try to figure this out. One day someone else might legitimately want to know. But I will probably not make it as much of a priority.
  • You’re a lawyer. You know everything is defensible. But that’s not the same thing as saying it is reasonable. To take the position that if someone bought the daily offers because they contained tickets so they get to decide that they were bought is saying it is the buyer that decides what is being sold, not the actual…
  • It isn’t necessarily illogical for lower tier items to have lower drop rates than higher ones. There’s two ways to design a crystal like this. You start with some average value (however you measure that) for the crystal. Then you can do one of two basic things. You can make a list of stuff and assign a drop probability…
  • Hypothetically speaking, what would you say would be a reasonable drop rate for the T5CC in the SBC? Like you say, its not a super desirable reward for Valiants, but we do use a few. So let's say that all the rank up stuff, all the catalyst drops in the SBC, was some nice round number like half. Half the stuff in there is…
  • Seven day ban is usually a first time offense for something not overly terrible. My guess would be account sharing. You gave your password to someone else, maybe an alliance mate, maybe to help you in AQ or AW, and Kabam detected that. It could be other things though. That's just the most common one I can think of.
  • This is 100% false. There was no sudden or hidden point "change." You get 100 points for opening an SBC. You get 300 points for buying an SBC. The players trying to play dictionary games with what the meaning of "buying" is are claiming that when you exchange tickets for SBCs you're "buying them." That's simply not true.…
  • I hope I don’t hit the forum limit on this one. Something to always remember is this game has a lot of players, and almost none of them comment on the game. There’s like 5000 active forum members out of a population of about a million. Not only do most players not comment, but if you add up all the people that the forum…
  • I'm going to guess you haven't faced the Collector yet (but maybe you have). So let's say you're in 5.1.2. Here's 5.1.2: I see a Gwenpool in there and a Scarlet Witch. If I tap on the Gwenpool, I can see her abilities, and also any nodes on her: Under nodes, we can see there's not much there. A champion boost (more attack…
  • I don't understand your complaint. In at least three different senses. First of all, Kabam has actually continuously improved upon the game client, not just in terms of the stuff under the hood, but also in terms of its appearance. In fact, many players complain about things changing appearance or how they work, because…
  • It is not an argument. It is a lament.
  • And how far did 6000 units get you last year?
  • If you think 2000 6* shards are far more valuable that 375 7* shards, well, I don't know what to say except that's not how the game values things.
  • Auntm.ai is a completely volunteer project, and the guy who runs it (and pays for hosting it, btw) has a real job that sometimes takes up all of his time. He went on hiatus a while back, and then recently returned and updated the site. But he seems to have gotten busy again. As far as I know, he's still around, but updates…
  • I could, or I could link to an entire article where I detail where all the units are in the game. Now sure, if you are a "casual player" that is already devoting several hours a day playing every game mode in the game, then of course you aren't going to be able to squeeze any unit earning into the remaining eight seconds…
  • While I do spend on the game, I won't actually have to spend a dime to get those milestones. I believe the top realm milestone can be unlocked with something on the order of 15k units. If all you do is buy units, well that's a lot of money for most people (~$500). But if you are a completely F2P player and just make it a…
  • We've seen how easy or difficult it has been to acquire most of the deathless pieces. It is highly unlikely that acquiring Deathless Thanos will be easier than that. It might not be ridiculously hard, but it depends on whether the way we get DT is time limited or not. If it is time limited, I would expect it to be…
  • Special offers like this come around occasionally. If I recall correctly, they do tend to come out around Christmas. As in on or just before Christmas (like the 24th). If you're going to buy units and you can wait, I would wait for then to buy. That will still be within the banquet event duration (December 20th to I think…
  • The current level cap is level 60. No one can be any higher than that now. I believe you are confusing level and energy cap. The energy cap at max level is 70.
  • This one is difficult to make absolute statements about, because there are a lot of moving parts. I mean, obviously they can't give out the exact same rewards for the exact same price because even though that's technically identical value, the fact that progression moves upward over time means the *relative* value of…
  • You're in luck: after years of thinking to myself "I should really do that" I decided to really do that. https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/381330/faq-how-to-get-units-in-mcoc Note: there's one small error that was corrected in the thread below the OP: Proven has 171 units, not 151.
  • You forgot the word “up.” Everyone should do their own homework and work towards their own independent conclusions. But they should be logical, informed conclusions that reflect reality. When people literally make up their own conclusions, picking and choosing what to believe and what to reject based on their own…
  • As a matter of fact, one of the rules of the forum guardian program is: you are not allowed to claim to be or misrepresent yourself to be a representative of Kabam. And whenever that might be ambiguous, I always make sure to state that clearly. I am not a representative of Kabam. Nothing I say should be construed as being…
  • Volunteers can't be fired. But more importantly, I was made a forum guardian specifically *because* of my contributions to the forums. I'm doing now exactly what I was doing before I was made a forum guardian. Also, I don't have a default agree/disagree with the company stance. I have a agree with myself stance. My…
  • I'm sure everyone who thinks the solo and alliance rewards should just be higher thinks that, but as far as I'm aware that's not what happened. The Realm event was simply added to the rest of the events, without taking any reward budget from the main events. This is in direct response to players who argued that removing…
  • There's no technical reason why the game would need more storage on older phones. Mobile phones typically don't support virtual memory in that way, and resource swapping is slow enough that if the game client was doing that a lot it would become unplayable (which is, in fact, how it becomes unplayable when memory leaks…
  • Ironically the people disagreeing are in fact absolutely correct.
  • Sure. This, by the way, is my serious face. It is very serious. I'm taking this extremely seriously.
  • This game has a lot of random, but random bans are not a thing. You were banned because: a) you cheated. b) you shared your account with someone who cheated. c) you violated the rules, used emulators, used game mods, allowed others to play content in your account, or did something else to draw negative attention to…
