DD-The-Mighty

Aww guys.. You don't sound like you're having any funbalance.

Boosts cost is a server patch, you can't avoid it.

But I'm thinking the Patch patch is part of the client update. Does that sound right?

Yes.

I was leading my main bracket of the pve event for 3 days, this change along the broken rubberbanding is just the final fk you from the devs to my time invested.

I merrily played with boosts, paying to shorten time per match. Now, between the game made slower from "funbalancing" and "gimme your real $$" boosts (200 iso for duals is also a joke), it has become such a drag it stopped being fun.
Even with a STILL BROKEN Patch, it is a total drag. I tried the match vs 230 Mags and Hood, amost wanted to cut my wrists due to the sheer boredom.

I am rather angry. I played a lot, had fun advancing, and the more this game gets tweaked, the least fun it becomes. JUST WHY?
Oh well, I have a lot of cool games that are more fun and less greedy.

Moving soon.

I am so stupid...I was doing the normal impossible level 240 missions boosting up and on about the 6th or 7th refill,I noticed my HPs were going down...Then I realized the rainbow boosts were costing HP instead of ISO...I just blew 500-800 HPs.... Wow... This is insane...

Contact support, I'm sure they'll give you the hp back.

Marvel Heroes, the Diablo type game isn't even this greedy...I would highly recommend you play that game instead.. At least they are pretty honest with their updates ahead of time...

LOL. I just clicked on +3 on accident not noticing the change, I'm sending a ticket. This is hilarious. Quit this ****!!!!

I accidentally bought one of all color boosts as well. it was only one, but I feel your pain. I don't see how I can compete in the Thick as Thieves main event now...every match is against 230's enemies, without the all color boost its essentially a suicide mission.

I just created an account to declare that if the prices of the boosts are not returned to how they were i will stop playing the game and so will my friends.That means both ours and your loss D3.It will be smart to fix this issue because 99% of the players who aren't willing to spend a fortune to be competitive will quit the game.

Is there a Mac version yet?

I'll confirm that this change was deliberate. It'll be added to the Patch Notes momentarily. It got missed since it was part of the daily updates that go across instead of as a part of the changes that take place in the Patch itself. I completely understand that it's a big change for some players, but it wasn't meant to be a "stealth nerf" or anything of the sort.

Seriously IceX, if it was done by 'accident' (as opposed to deliberate) some people at your place need to have a serious word with themselves. That's project failure on a bloody epic level.

I was playing this game and enjoying it and reading up on the upcoming patch (btw, I love the re-balancing on Thor and Wolv). Played one match after lunch today and paid for the +3 all color boosts the normal price that I've paid since early December. Today, after a match I ran out of boosts and had to pay for another. Without thinking I clicked and and without any pop up warning noticed that I lost 100HP.

This MUST be an error in coding by the devs accidentally. They've been VERY good about informing us of upcoming patches and to all of a sudden to have this error cost us valuable HP that we didn't know was coming must be and "oops."

If not, please refund my account for the 100HP since there was a "hidden" update that wasn't notified to us and there are no "are you sure" pop ups.

Thanks much.

Seriously Demiurge, what price do you want an individual player to pay for this game? $1, $5, $500.

What is it????????

Looks like Ice is taking advice from politicians...Feign ignorance and blame someone else... Well played sir...well played...

Understand your frustration, but I'm willing to bet with you 99% of those players will not quit the game. Overstating it, slightly.

Lack of communication aside, is there any chance that they will at least change the cost increase back to normal in Pve and separate Pve/pvp. Not that it necessarily will be change, I know you can't say that. But will you at least confirm it will be discussed at the next meeting or something?

Never dawned on any of the crew to put a confirmation box on the boost when buying to prevent users from accidentally wasting HP?

I feel bad for the person that has to address the thousands of tickets that will be created ..

Is this a case of trying to change and introduce too many new things, in quite a short timeframe? I'm realistic enough to understand that things don't always go right (in my line of work, we've had several new systems rolled out, that have been horrific to deal with). But it does strike me that its a bit of a clustermess over there right now, and the resulting bad PR on here cannot be good for you guys.

At least credit to you for having the decency to address the tough questions.

Can we PLEASE have confirmation boxes for EVERYTHING requiring HP costs? Seriously, this was a problem since day 1 when people were accidentally buying Hawkeye and Black Widow for 50 HP.

Also, this change could not come at a worse time. Why do you guys push major updates during the week long events? Can't you wait until the start of the next one?
