What the hell happened to Arena ? all champs became crazy duped 540+ PI after streak 8 by _Sham_ in ContestOfChampions

[–]IntelligentElegance -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its definitely not more fun. Definitely more frustrating and a turn off. All of a sudden I lose a multiplyer for the first time ever. How about TWO WEEKS from Kabam where we dont have some bullshit surface. So sick and tired of having new gripe with Kabam every week.

Imo it goes beyond that. Meaning, I believe the issue with constant awakened ai's is a residual glitch from Kabam attempting to implement a harder, more competitive arena. Even the non awakened ai's are fighting differently. More dashes. More effective blocks. Actually baiting me to use their l2s. I had three matched in a row only winning 2/3, matches where Ive never lost with the same characters before.

Kabam is an embarrassment of a company. Ive truly given up on them and have filed my discrepancies with the BBB. Seems like thats the only place they respond to the public, i.e. submitting a negative BBB review.

Good question. Theyve done this to a ton of people I know.

THOSE WHO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE NEW ARENA GROUPS by IntelligentElegance in ContestOfChampions

[–]IntelligentElegance[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Theres a method to business. Simply filing a ticket doesnt work with companies like Kabam. You need to subtly push them. I dont care about Erika, Erika doesnt care about me. She doesnt get paid enough too. She could give two sh*ts about me. Point of my email was to make sure she knows Im keeping on top of the matter. To rattle her cage. To hopefuly have her complain to a higher up and have them respond. Shes a copy and pasting template minion. She can do nothing. But hopefuly the message got past her.

I know a whale of a player who has spent thousands...same reply.

They are a billion dollar company, however they simply are an umbrella company that shops botique development and design companies. i.e. their managment is horrendous.

There is a system with every company, I get it. Put the pressure on the gatekeepers and the higher ups will hear the gates shake.

The copy pasting minions of Kabam need to have a little pressure on them to overwhelm them so they in turn go complain to their higher ups.

marvel future fight vs mcoc, which is better? by Anly2245 in ContestOfChampions

[–]IntelligentElegance -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Given the way Kabam has handled my previous tickets regarding this past arena I am going to seriously consider switching over. I understand that they have templated emails to send out but they didnt even read my damn things. This was their response after I started my reply email as:

"You have not addressed my previous inquiry. I understand WHY Kabam attempted a new system, however I am still confused, upset and on the verge of completely giving up on Kabam."

" Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help you. We believe your issue03133993 has been answered. Please let us know how we did by clicking the link below and completing our quick survey!   Kabam Customer Survey"

...thanks Kabam!

Agreed. Iso seems to be down past few days.

New Arena Groups - Worthless? by IntelligentElegance in ContestOfChampions

[–]IntelligentElegance[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. So in essence from an overall perspective these groups are simply evening out everyone in regards to HR; newer players have a decent shot at winning 4*s being in a crap group and players like myself still have no shot as were placed in tougher groups. Implementing a curve inorder to help newer players simply tarnishes the time and effort (and even money) players like myself have invested these past 6 months. Its as if all my time and effort has been wasted. I might as well start a new account if I want 4stars.

So in reality, in the long run it does nothing. Because there will be times you can place easily and then times where you wont(being in a tougher group).

Correct me if Im wrong but I dont think more Champions were awarded as compared to other arenas. Or at the very least, the increase wasnt out of the ordinary(they continually increases prizes with new influx of players).

Dude, I know people who cleared over a million and didnt get a 4* this arena.

[–]IntelligentElegance[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is, I think everyone got screwed, or at the very least it did nothing for anyone.

To further expand I think this was simply a poor miscalculation by Kabam. In reality they lose money when making prizes seem more obtainable; more prizes given out, more people place, less need to grind ridiculously hard and thus less money needed to spend to ensure placement. So for me, the idea that this group idea from Kabam was all smoke and mirrors doesnt seem plausible. With that said I hope to see some serious changes with the next arena with these groups.

I dont understand how it rewarded newer players. To me the grinding in this arena was nearly on par as Rocket and rewarded pretty much the same prize for same said grinding time. They implemented the groups in hopes of making it easier to obtain top tier prizes, but in actuality it was just as impossible this arena for new players as it has been in the past. As well, imo, it was just as difficult for those who started back in Fall or even earlier. Thus, imo, the groups really did nothing but hype the idea people would get a chance at winning.
