**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

Weird AI “Phase” Mechanic??

Lately I’ve been noticing the AI in all sorts of game modes acting weird... dexing my attacks or punishing me when they should still be recovering from a special or heavy attack. I thought it was all in my head... as a conspiracy theory. We all know MCOC has a lot of those, so why not? Until of course... I caught it while recording...

So I messed up... big whoop right? Stop crying & get over it you might say. But let’s take a closer look...

Here, my attack clearly makes contact. In fact, she hasn’t even begun to dash back yet... just sitting there still. Let’s look even closer... at the very next frame.

Here, my medium attack is entirely complete, & it has phased right through her... while she still hasn’t begun to dash back yet.

So what’s going on here? There is clearly a weird “phase like” mechanic going on that shouldn’t be there. The AI shouldn’t be doing this period, since it doesn’t have the Dexterity mastery. But even with Dexterity, this shouldn’t be happening. So what’s going on... huh Kabam?

    I don't think this is the ai. I think it's just the recovery phase after a special. But I might be wrong

    My only comment on this, is I've noticed VTD attack animations hit weirdly later than one would think. Maybe it is a weird animation bug of the attack making contact later than it appears.

    This is definitely interesting. The AI has been being weird recently. @Kabam Miike any explanation?

    I have noticed this as well. This has been happening for quite a while, with opponents dex-ing or parrying ghost's phase intercept, but lately I have noticed the same thing that you showed. I've gone in to counter a heavy and ended up parried or dexed. Makes things very risky and just forces more potions to be used, especially if this happens in AQ/AW...

    Reporting this to the team, but this is not an AI thing. I know that's the popular thing to

    To what?

    That was a copy/paste error for something else.
    Copy and paste is definitely a double edge sword, especially at work. At least you can edit stuff after posting 😂

    I have seen this and it has been happening for other champions. I don't have available examples at this time but know Drax, Storm and Mysterio are phasers.

    Any update on this, it's just lost me VtD during the second fight of AQ to Angela on map 4

    She literally got hit by your VTD, went right through her and then she dashed back, i don't think phasing is one of her abilities, it's definitely a bug that works in kabam's favour, me personally, i think that kabam done something to the AI!!
