  • The two recent content additions, Seasons and Alliances, only served to make the game more grindy. The game just feels stale and there's no way to be reasonably competitive and casual.

    A comic book game with only 2 chapters released this year: Iso-8 Brotherhood (Feb 25) and Prodigal Sun (May 16).

    Thick As Thieves was released this year.

    Do you think maybe one or two "featured" PVP's per week for Seasons would ease this?

    The other PVP's could just be the filler between the featured ones. This way if in alliance, you don't have to feel like you are on an endless treadmill from whenver season 1 started through whenever Season X (omega) ends.
  • Hulk 9788 -> 11475. That's a 17% increase. His healing rate was improved by 500%, while other 3* got a 250% healing rate increase. This isn't all that comparable.

    I stand corrected.

    For anyone curious, here is less than half of the spam from the past week, all stripped away by myself and Riggy. Our chief ally in this fight was user "locked", who reported almost 200 spam messages with the little triangle icon. Amanda1983, johnaaron33, and jojeda654 all reported 10-20 spam messages. Here are the titles -- spammers of 200 of the 475+ spam messages in one week.

    Yeah, I like those topics too. They always sound like I could learn something new from them. Unfortunately, those threads always end up being edited with spam links later on, like this one: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5066&p=84363

    That's certainly true. Still, while these forums are much more civil than WoW's, these ones are more consistently depressed. WoW constantly has people posting complaints. But they tend to generate few replies or back and forth disagreement. On here, all the most popular threads are things like "this game is no fun anymore." There's very few voices that like changes or that don't think they're a big deal. I'd say the ratio of negative/positive opinions about the game posted here is much, much worse than Wow's.

    I definitely don't read every post. Things like that should be reported with the little triangle icon so that a moderator can remove them. I removed that one.

    That's because the people who feel positively about the game have given up on the forum.

    It's relentless.
    Endless repetitive rehash tournaments that are mandatory for all alliance members.


    This is the worst part to me. Seasons - as currently implemented - are terrible. We're going for the Nick Fury cover this month and it looks like we'll get it, but it really locks people into counterproductive and demoralizing patterns.

    Oh, you don't need any of the rewards from this tournament? TOO BAD, SCREW YOU, PLAY ANYWAY FOR NOTHING.

    That would be a very positive change, IMO. Especially if the "featured" PvPs had covers for newer characters most people were likely to want, so you weren't forced to grind for useless covers.

    For me it helps a little that they increased the ISO rewards for top ten and higher. Even if I don't need the covers (and I usually don't, only missing a handful of covers for all the pre-Sentry characters), that way I at least get a decent amount of ISO to level my characters.

    That and I'm more than happy to call it quits after 900-1000 points or so. The upside of not being in one of the top 10 alliances.

    Oh yeah, and alliances also promote hoarding information, even for blatantly obvious things like tandem shield hoping.
