What I'm understanding is that by making the kits smaller and the stats being the focus going forward this means in my mind that: 1. Characters are going to fall off quicker due to them being based on stats not the kits. 2. By having the stats be the primary focus this means that Yellow Stars, Red Stars, ISO, and Diamonds are going to be very important, and it just so happens that those are the things Scopley can control the most and also pay wall the most. while this is exciting in some aspects, this is worry some in others.
Translation about less involved kits. Our coders are pissed about all the work they have to do to make a kit work. Plus, we don't test them anyway, so this will just make it easier.
Scopely have never given a flying one about accuracy with teams. Just look at new warriors - 1 made up toon and of the other 4, 2 (Cloak and Gwenpool) were never members. Dagger was for a while, Firestar was for a while. But they leave out characters like Night Thrasher , Speedball and Namorita.
@@OhGeeKush I didn’t say i don’t care at all. Plus it’s hard to quit a game you’ve played for 5 years and stop watching a RU-vidr you’ve watched for 2+
I’m sorry but this is horrible for the game. If everything is now based on the stats that means no more kit based characters that get really long shelf lives and toon that you NEED to buy the stars and diamonds for and max the levels or you’re gonna get trounced. This is more pushing for spenders privilege over regular players who will feel this so bad.
I swear this player base is like a newborn or a kitten. Just jingle some shiny shit in our faces, and we forget all about the bs. There is nothing good about this. I know that may sound hyperbolic, but today's news will have ramifications we haven't even considered yet. Some of this affects the future viability of our entire rosters.
I don't know when exactly this trend started, but these kits are becoming increasingly absurd for the sole purpose of countering Black Knight and Super-Skrull
I'm sorry the kit doesn't feel that crazy to me and is better only in war. His stats are going to have to be much higher for it to really make a difference. Personally for me making kits smaller with less in them is a step backwards. That feels like we are going back to the days where characters really weren't that great. If this wasn't a battle pass character I wouldn't be spending on this character.
He only gains the ability to steal Charges in War... This character is really only impactful in War, and of all the meta game modes War matters the least. This is a non-starter.
He is literally the god of war. I wouldn't assume he won't work elsewhere, raid teams do fine elsewhere, in sure he will do, I'm sure as a stat beast he'll be a nightmare will cabal in cc
@balding2early I think your missing the point. If war is his background increase all his stats by a huge amount. The kit is what makes characters useful elsewhere. Your not going to get people excited about a character thats really on decent in war.
@@1223optimus I would say kit based outlives stats long term, but on top of the stats, turn 1 stun on special, turn 1 flip and ability block on ultimate, safeguard on spawn and blocks safeguard with awakened. That's all very useful, especially in crucible. I think he'll be top 5 character easy
@balding2early The issue is safeguard blocks most of his good stuff and only can block characters from getting it on spawn in war. Meaning any characters with Safeguard wont do a damn thing outside of war. I think the point was to get people excited about characters coming and it seems to have done the opposite if you read through people's comments.
this game is so boring now nothing new except for new characters constantly and ruining existing game modes. Zero focus on adding anything fun in terms of gameplay
Silver surfers kit is still pretty good right, but would be nice if they update it a bit. What he really needs is a huge stat boost n along with a team.
@@balding2early I know, i just find it funny that THANOS, has become a much weaker and less used character than someone like rescue. Thats all, i jsut want him to be the powerhouse he is.
Favoring base stats over kits complexity means the exact opposite of what they said. 1. Almost everything before power jumps will be power crept out and rendered useless faster 2. The death of theorycrafting. Since they moved to hard-core team synergy based releases, the only theorycrafting left was mainly due to complexity of passives and how people manage to find that one line in the text the devs forgot to negate in their new team and can affect the battle. Once new teams are made to overpower older one on sheer overpowered stats, 99% of the older characters will be deemed unusable. This will also decrease the number of punch-up counters we use in war significantly imo. The superior kit will get to a head start but won't be able to finish it off just due to inferior stats. They're kind of in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario. With complex kits, they find introducing new teams super hard because someone will always find something that can cancel out what the new team does. But in a world where base stats of new teams are so much more superior, most players will find that their 40% of unusable roster fluff will become 70%+ of unusable fluff once a few new teams are dropped.
I think every character should just be plug and play. It would crate such and diverse, custom favorite, and insane amount of teams that you could use for every asoect of the game. Im tired of only being able to use most characters with their teams. It limits the flexibility ro create your own custom teams of top Marvel characters..
People skipped game passes to buy Shuri/Pym offers for Cpt Britain. Resulting in a decrease of pass sales. Therefore, this is them trying to bring up the KPIs before end of quarter/year
Don't care about new toons. When is the apoc event changing. It's been 2 weeks and nothing. Even from all of the RU-vidrs there's been no mention at all at when it's going to happen
I wouldn't mind if they gave u a great 5 man team with say a legendary u can get through free to play however challenging that is to get n then pay wall a epic member for that team. So ftp can get good/great teams depending on the play, mid pay range would get great teams ,n pay to play will get meta teams,
Loki does too, since the stealth at half health forces ZIM and the Gregs to be targeted and lower the enemy speed drastically and flipping all negative effects to positive effects, and healing the others back up.
Wait so if you take Ares against a team with the Leader you could get 15 charged haha. That can be 15 turns of +20% speed! Hopefully there is a trial/scourge we can use Ares in that has an enemy like The Leader with tons of charge.
They always release these kinda OP characters or highly requested characters for all the community to easily acquire when the community is at its angriest. They are pacifier characters, don't fall for it. Say "thank you, Scopley" but stay angry, don't forget why you are angry and that things need to change!
idc about the paywall stuff Scopley does but this character kit change has really pissed me off because I liked the complexity of character kit, I liked kit base character but they dumbing down character kits and making them stat base like wtf???? bruh I cant with this game anymore
I quit around the time Rogue was coming out initially and just recently came back but I never unlocked Ultimus through his orbs and I had already completed DD3 before they moved him... How tf am I supposed to get him now?
Commonly known gods (Greek, Norse...etc...) are public domain. Thus, anyone can use them. Both Marvel & DC (and other companies) have a Zeus, Hercules, Ares...etc
Can someone explain to me why the illuminati orbs have black bolt and iron man shards in them. I know thats the team, but they have their own permanent event, so 99% of the player base already has them at 7*
@@lamjianhua2884 semantics . They function as a secondary battle pass in all respects, just with a different name. It was fairly clear that's what Boomer was referring to.
@@Daemonik If he was referring to all four passes, he should have just called them passes instead of specifically battle pass. Am I to assume Ares would be in all four passes even though he said battle pass too?
This just shows that this company, and the team DO know what they are doing. So all the bugs, tone def decisions, etc look that much worse. Because we all can see that you can do this. Ares looks great, the kit attached to War makes sense. I will say I don't like Gorr on the team. Gorr should be a future legendary as a counter to this team. I'd been happy with the Sky Fathers, use Zeus, Odin, Ares, Thor, Set, Osiris, as examples.
This is imo the way everything should be done. The spenders get a leg up but f2p can also grind them out. Now if they could just keep it this way. Some people will always complain about the spending aspect but this is fair. This is how you keep the game alive… it doesnt take back the bs theyve been doing recently but if they came stay on this track I have no problem going back to spending 80-250 a month depending on what is being put out I may spend more usually. I didnt purchase Hank or Shuri but still got them unlocked through coring… not enough for CB unlocked but whatever Ill deal with it. I won’t support the game monetarily if theyre screwing over most of the player base. Only 2 of us in my alliance were able to unlock hank and shuri cause we had a crazy amount of cores saved up. It took A LOT for me to get shuri. I got Hank with just 4 orbs cracked. Got a lucky pull for once.
Too late for me, I am done. Just waiting for a replacement in my alliance so they are not under manned after I quit. Scopely will find a way to paywall him, just wait.
I always appreciate when the developers are open on what they are doing and why. If Ares just came out with crazy stats with no justification as to why, the community would lose their minds.
Lol another character I've never heard of is going to destroy all my favorite marvel characters. Awesome. All the characters i like are more of less useless. Why am i still playing (simming) this game?
