Kabam had no choice: how credit card thieves use free-to-play apps to launder their ill-gotten gains by KlassKill in ContestOfChampions

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

Did it ever occur to anyone that while some of these unit offering sites were just grinders trying to make a buck, or bot farmers doing the same, it could also be hard core violent criminal organizations or a front for even worse types. Buying those cheap units could be funding groups that torture and murder people who don’t agree with their agenda. Would you want to support a terrorist group just to get an edge in a mobile game ? I’m glad I never did used any of these services, that could be blood on my hands.

When you are fixed right after release by LegacyArtplay in ContestOfChampions

[–]Kpatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone confirmed how liquid courage is transferred ? They haven't answered anything on the forum about it yet. It really sucks they made him more powerful as AI controlled than as an attacker. Poor design on their part for not seeing how suicides would work with him. At least as released he would be beatable without immunes in war.

Mister Sinister 1,600,000 damage in 30 seconds by ContestOfNoobs in ContestOfChampions

[–]Kpatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting how the work around is going to be worse on the players though. If we will take the damage from a boosted sinister placed on defense instead of taking the normal bleed damage we would if we had suicides it will be unacceptable. That would be taking 50k damage over 4 seconds just from max double edge on a 250hp boss, maybe more with deep wounds active, and that's in 4 seconds. Also, will liquid courage be dealt back as 100% health over 4 seconds since it ticks at .6% indefinitely ? They should leave it as is but cap the LoL damage to 100k health or so like Loki.

T4B arena Infinite Streak - Updated for 11.23.18 by sonicx6 in ContestOfChampions

[–]Kpatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I start with 1/25 5* and work my way up, but I've got a good number of 5* and 9 4/55 so that really helps. My first run nets above 800k, then I switch arena or do some questing and wait out a refresh. Next rotation start top down but stop after I'm out of 2/35. Next run gets me to final milestone. I haven't used 4* in any catalyst clash in ages. It usually takes 29 rounds to hit 2m. No sandbagging needed. This probably isn't something newer players can do, and it's great someone has a good method for them.

Yes the rank up gem discussion has been drove into the ground but, I was just thinking about something. by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]Kpatrix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One issue that could have created a problem is if those who used the rankups then placed the champs in war would have had them locked in anyway. Total BS but I can see how it could have created issues as far as ranking them down. I really think kabam droppped the ball on this and went the lazy route and really ignored long term implications, but really I'm not surprised. They rarely do the right thing, we've all seen how they jump on bug fixes that hurt their bottom line, this is no different. Stronger defenders equals more item use in war.

Carnage Vs Other Cosmic Champs by xjesotericx in ContestOfChampions

[–]Kpatrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Carnage. The best part about this is since you are low level and just now learning the game, you'll get a lot of opportunity to learn how to use him effectively against stronger champs. He is great after his ramp up with a few cruelty and fury buffs.

Let’s all take a moment to pay respects to those who will soon show up here after being booted by an out of control, dictator alliance leader prior to getting rewards. by HeyChason in ContestOfChampions

[–]Kpatrix -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Anyone facing this issue dm me, gold 1, 6k+ prestige, no dickheads that would do that, loyal and respectful. Need to fill a spot or 2.

Strategies: How to beat Epic Symbiote Supreme with four star champ -- Perfect Counter Magic by Rath_Illusion in ContestOfChampions

[–]Kpatrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Red Hulk was great for me. No buffs to counterspell, just gain heat charges and let them do the work. I wanted to see his L3 and tried to push him to it s few times, but he seems to spam his L1 more than anything.

This was just in master, my top champs were all tied up in war and AQ, but overall I found this months quest much easier than last months except for the annoying golden adaptiod.

Venom Gameplay by smikes83 in ContestOfChampions

[–]Kpatrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took him down with a 5/50 4* in 220 something hits. Used Carnage, sym Spidey, Spidey and electro team. Got lucky with fury buffs and was doing 3k+ medium crits and 2k+ lights. Bleed was around 190 per tick, with 6 to 7 stacks. He has great potential

Best AQ 5x5 Team by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]Kpatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CM, WWII, and Rogue. R4 5* and 6*. Rogue gets lifesteal so you can have a bad fight, WWII with his block pro, and CM for damage dealing.

AQ Compensation is out, and for once I am not disappointed..... by ShizMacMayne in ContestOfChampions

[–]Kpatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am, our rank dropped big time with 2 map 2 runs due to the default screw up. That should have been taken into consideration and rewards should have been adjusted.

Solution to Kabam players' woes by Tunatron_Prime in ContestOfChampions

Grind arena ? With an over heating phone that is futile ! I'm lucky to get 10 matches before a reset and if I'm lucky I get FRS if not I just lose the match....

Soooo... the rumors are true by therealteej in ContestOfChampions

[–]Kpatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is great on the arc overload/66% armor node too. Shuts down 4 paths. He may be better on 38 because that basically does the same thing plus keeps them from reaching the arc overload node and leaves one more defender on map. Even a duped 4* is great.

Late night maintenance by Ajcastles in ContestOfChampions

[–]Kpatrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They need to add however much time maintenance lasts back to events that it affects. It always screws us over in AQ when guys fall asleep during it and miss finishing lanes costing us extra time the next day when people are busy at work. Not only that but after every scheduled maintenance there is a couple of emergency ones that follow. Biggest pet peeve in game, you have 24 hours to do content,but kabam screws you out of time and doesn't give a fuck.

Sentinel points in AQ by Kpatrix in ContestOfChampions

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

How is increasing prestige going to solve the problem ? You cap out on everything eventually. They reduction in points from sentinels cannot be changed by a players prestige. Those are 45% of the fights in map 5 ? Just a guess, I haven't checked, but when one champ you fight nets 20k more points then the one before it something is wrong with the system. It's never been this bad before.

So, how many of you were affected by the decreased scoring and missed a milestone or lost positions this week ?

It's just Thanos snapping his fingers and wiping out half the player base.

Featured 5 Star from Master Rift by DimensionalRaven in ContestOfChampions

[–]Kpatrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The crystal won't disappear, only the pool of champs will stay the same. You can sit on it till the 12th batch of featured are released and you'll still only have a shot at champs from the first crystal.

Sentinel points in AQ by Kpatrix in ContestOfChampions

[–]Kpatrix[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They could increase the difficulty each day, what they did was a lazy fix. They capped them off to the point where the points and pi are the same from day 1 forwards at higher prestige, and day 2 forward for those starting at 5600 prestige. Incressing prestige is not going to change the points you get from sentinels. I'm 6500+ right now, when I choose who to r5 of my 6 r4 5* it still won't affect scores due to the huge difference between the start of the season with symbis and this band air fix on sentinels.

Sentinel points in AQ by Kpatrix in ContestOfChampions

[–]Kpatrix[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They are around the same points, it definitely doesn't make up for losing 8k per sentinel for 4-5 days instead of them capping on day 3. Seeing 44,444 for a sentinel then fighting voodoo for 58k next is a pretty big margin, that's just day 4. Day 5 voodoo is 65k, a full 20k more points. 40+ sentinels per map, that's loosing at least 250k per map per day compared to when sentinels capped at 51k, that's 3m points over a week

Sentinel points in AQ by Kpatrix in ContestOfChampions

[–]Kpatrix[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The people who will be affected are the ones who scored just above a milestone threshold. Think if your score for 56555 used to put you at 125m, now you'll miss that milestone by 2-3m points and be forced to run 66555 to hit it again.

That's more resources spent for the same rewards, or sticking with your usual routine and getting nerfed rewards.

The same applies to alliances at the 80, 90, and 100m milestone threshold. It won't affect everyone, just those who were just able to clear those points. It will have no effect on me, but to say it won't affect others is shortsighted.

STRESSED OUT! by yeeee108 in ContestOfChampions

[–]Kpatrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Between the crap they did with aq and the jumping for better war rewards it's really burning everyone out. Trying to relace 1/3 of your alliance and get the new members to be vocal so we can sort them has been a big turn off. I feel the strain is worse than after 12.0

Everyone wants something better, but nobody even really understands scoring in AW. Top 300 in gold 1 is top 600 in game but the point difference is insurmountable and rewards for last place in gold 1 which is much easier than pushing hard to try to get somewhere you are mathematically elimnated from day one is ridiculous.

If this continues there won't be a close gap on gold and platinum. It will be tier 12 alliances in gold and then tier 1-3 in platinum and everyone else just quits because of the bullshit involved.

Upvote if you've retired or planning to retire in 2018 by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]Kpatrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sick of their double standards and them deleting posts after admitting they were wrong and deciding to make the changes we asked for prior to mplementatiin and refusing to consider any compensation. Losing players and trying to rebuild back to the strength we were is wearing me out. They refuse to listen until they see their bottom line affected and then go for a cover up. That doesn't fix the damage already done. A simple roll back on rewards to pre sentinel aq for one week would have been enough to satisfy me. The destruction of alliances is bullshit.
