Do you have something against Americans? That was uncaused for. We dont insult your country and probably could care less about it. I understand you dont care for this topic but . . .

LOL - where did I say anything bad about Americans? Long time player and forum poster mate, made some pretty good friends through this game and many of them are American. What I don't get, is why America censor certain swear words, yet something which is considered profanity in the UK is pretty much ignored.

Sorry if I pissed you off and you took it the wrong way.

Hmmm, Ok.

To you, it may be whining. But I prefer to think of my topics as careful analysis and criticism of this game's serious critical design flaws.

Don't really care to vote, but most decisions by D3 are likely focused on how to make you spend more money.

Receiving several complaints about losing points in PvP?
New feature shields! Oh, and increase costs to use them.

Skipping a problem?
You lose ISO (we'll see how that goes).

My biggest problem is the constant changes and little notice or communication. Patches/changes with every week? How about letting some ideas breathe, unless there is a real problem.

Or carefully weighed to one side as to sway people to your ridiculous way of thinking. Rush Limbaugh comes to mind.

I initially wanted to agree, that the decisions made are purely for the sake of profit.

But however, with the exception of the Shield price hike, the other recent pvp doesn't actually benefit their sales in anyway. Matter of fact, all it is likely to do is to make sure the player gets stuck in retaliation hell, unable to progress easily

I was actually tempted to believe that they were really intentionally trying to piss us off just for the hell of it.

A happy gamer is a paying gamer. A pissed off gamer is not a tipping gamer.

As for the real problems, there's been a few. For example, certain characters still being too imbalanced and impractical to use. Like Moonstone etc. Their response to that is usually nerf the strong guys. And buffing Captain America in every PVE event instead of changing his skills to something more sustainable.

This I actually agree with you on to an extent.

They are not. They are inflammatory and rabble-rousing rants, for the most part. Sometimes, by page 3 of a thread, you've started to make some decent points. You had a period where you were starting to do better, but you've since fallen back to spewing forth garbage. Given 95% of what you post, I don't understand why you still play. Almost everything you post is overwhelmingly negative, and not really thought provoking.

Price hike of Heroic packs from 150 Hero points to 300 Hero points.

Not a good idea buying heroic covers at any price.

Killing off Classic Storm's passive skill.

Cstorm was OP. Would say nerf was overdone, but she probably disappeared due to low HP. Her green is still good, and her blue was amazing. Might return with thor/wolverine nerfs.

Reducing Ragnarok to the equivalent of trash.

Rag was OP, nerf was overdone, but I'd hardly call it pissing on players.

Announced the culling of these characters: Thor, Astonishing Wolverine, Spider-man, Classic Magneto

Spidey is OP, haven't seen mag in action, thor and wolverine make most * and ** characters irrelevant (and a 1-shot). I'm all for buffs instead of nerfs, but the buff counter would be +health across the board, which is no different from lowering their damage.

Increase the progression rewards from 1400 to 2400.

Don't mind about the 1400/2400, as long as they're reachable. If you're going to be annoyed about anything, make it the huge nerf to the rating system before new years, when suddenly you couldn't make it past 500.

Double the price of Shields.

Everyone saw the shield price increase coming the day they came out. There were too many posts about "I don't need the rewards, but I can use shields to reach #1, sell off the rewards, and still make an HP profit" for me to care.

Allow a player to be attacked by other players with far lower rankings, making it possible for him to lose a lot of points in a very short amount of time.

I'm a player with a much lower ranking, so I probably shouldn't comment on this one. Still, I have a hard time believing that the 1000 point gap between people in the top 5 is because the rest at the top aren't trying.

Announced that you will be punished every time you skip an opponent's team.

As long as they don't punish for skipping retaliations, I don't see a problem with this. It probably protects the people at the top more than anything, don't want the peons skipping for 50 point matches.

Making all of the above **** decisions instead of implementing a RESPEC system.

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaage.

Shut the tinykitty up, mechgouki. You are a scrub. The devs are perfect, like gods. We all know that except for you.

I don't know what to say about this.

If they are for that sake they are even more bad and boneheaded. As will lead to way lead income, especially taking longer periods in consideration.

My reading of it as well. Like reading every complaint on where is the pain, also what is the cure, then go and kill the cire and push on the painful spots. Coincidence?

Yeah. guess they still need to level up their decision-makers a bit to grok that much.

I hear ya. I wouldn't dare to think I know what goes on the the minds of the devs, but profitability is the #1 goal of any business. I get irritated about the changes too, but I still enjoy the game most of the time. Still, nerfing often used characters and introducing new characters (with the hulk and hunt events ) would likely yield more sales.

Again, DDD was one of the most helpful and knowledgeable people on the forums. Just because he wouldn't rise to your trolling doesn't mean that he himself was a troll

DDD was just saying anything and everything to protect his OP Ragnarok. Go look at the "2 ap abilities should be nerfed" thread and it's just him shutting down every reasonable suggestion at a nerf so he can keep playing his unbalanced game. Rags gets his nerf and he quits because he can't exploit anymore. Nothing of value was lost.

Inflammatory rants, perhaps. Spewing forth garbage, I disagree. The points that I brought out came from actual situations. I did not make up that ****.

Was I wrong to say that the recent PVP changes are generally bad for the player? Especially when he's climbing slowly to the top, only to be pulled down by a bunch of -50 on his scores? And what about the sudden price hike on Shields? And the sudden nerf on progression rewards? Are these not actual problems? Is pointing this out the equivalent of garbage to you?

Sadly to say, the negativity on my posts is directly related to the amount of bad decisions made by the dev. I only criticise them when they make implementations that are likely to have a negative impact, or when they are not doing enough.

Since you think my words are garbage, enlighten me. Which are the garbage points I made? Perhaps I made them without even realizing. Do tell.

keep reminding me, no need to spend money if someday ur char will be nerfed. i won't max any 3star hero beyond 100, fearing someday there will be nerf. no complain, cause i don't spend any modey.still getting to top 5-top 10 each tourney.

the player who spend considerable amount is the ones who are pissed wikt lots of this changes

I'm not upset. I doubt anyone has purchased more premium content than me.

Introducing new characters will most definitely net more sales, that much is certain.

Nerfing however, might not necessarily yield positive results.

When the Ragnarok nerf struck, I counted at least 2 demands for refunds, and 3 ragequit notices.
I SPENT 100 BUCKS ON A RAG AND YOU NERFED IT?!?! GIMME BACK MAH MUNNY!!!

I can't blame these guys to be honest. They have a right to be mad.

But to tell the real truth? When the Rag nerf struck, I breathed, a sigh of relief. For the first time ever, I fought a PVE Ragnarok 200+ without having my **** handed to me. And I don't have to avoid the Rags in PVE any more.

Anyway, point is, new characters = more sales. Nerfing, well, you'll get refund demands....

That title goes to Nemek. DDD was friendly and talkative to regs and people who agreed with him, sure, but not so much to others including even the devs. He constantly told people to stop complaining but as soon as Rags got nerfed he was the biggest complainer of all.

This thread title desperately needs quotation marks or something. I initally read it as Best pissing on 'player decision' made and had no idea what you'd be talking about until I opened the thread.

Omg Yes! Im like all this nerfing and experimenting, and the one of the biggest problems is not getting noticed. Ive had moonstone maxed and at level 50 for like a month and a half now. I refuse to put iso into her because all her powers suck in some way. I have plenty of iso to move her up several levels but i refuse.

Purple- cant warp what you want
Black- cost too much
Red-By time you get to use it there is no red left on the board.

Captian america yellow needs to be dropped from19 to about 13. If you face wolverine + bullseye his yellow starts to suck a litte. I love Captian A but it's not worth using him outside events.
