Update: This might be fixed now, hopefully.
So back in 2012, that’s right 2012 http://myrmonden.blogspot.se/2012/12/marvel-avenger-alliance-wins-this-years.html
I explained why Marvel Avengers System is so bad, and now Playdom have managed to out class themselves and won the award for worst PvP system of 2014 to (when its only in January).
By extending the time of the tournament when its only a 30 minutes left.....
Side Note: .... I wake up now to also realize I won’t be home from monday-wensday so yeah I won’t really be able to get Venom.....it’s also fun how they think that well u get 35 CP be happy. I got a lot of CP, every character and almost all alt suits. CP has no meaning. If I had known it would end of next Monday earlier I would have booked from Tuesday instead. Obviously taking more then 1 day of in such close time frame in impossible for most people.
OK the issue here is not only that Playdom has proven themselves to be completely utterly incompetent.
Look at my old list of issues in the game. 4 has been "fixed", 4 of 9 issues I listed and the game had more issues.(HAS more issues.....)
The real issue is that they managed to actually disappoint me. I am not angry or sad etc. I am actually more amused right now then mad.
I think this is the true shared emotion from the users, disappointment. This is a much worse feeling then for example anger.
The background for this game and the company is that the users can’t really expect anything worse to happen.
The game has been riddled with bugs from day 1 which are never fixed, cheaters, glitched,abuses,game crashes, horrible retarded system of PvP etc the list is long.
And they have often introduced new Special operation season (new weapons/characters) in the end to both cause more bug issues etc and more unbalanced very often.
There is a lot of issues bottom line. And then they got a horrible customer support service, money greedy schemes and so on.
On my personal note is that they also clearly have bad game designers who don’t know how to balance the game and keep introducing characters with meaningless abilities, their monetizing expert does a bad job in what to have on sale etc, I just don’t have any respect for the people working there at all. Especially not for their QA Staff which I can only assume is none existing (would I do a better job in any of these fields, yes 100% absolutely sure on that but that’s another post)
So what it boils down to is an extremely low opening about Playdom.
It’s like Judas in the Bible. I hate Judas, you Hate Judas. Let say that there is a lost page out of the Bible found (humor me). What would that page have to say to make you hate Judas more? It would have to say something extreme, something so profound. It’s impossible pretty much.
When I look at Playdom its a company I definitely think is one of the worst game companies right. And in several categories.
So to be able to disappoint me, its actually impressive. What they did with this PvP season its amazed me, it baffles me. Its like the worst decision made in Game history. At least if we look at these smaller like game changes. Not like when Nintendo tried with Virtua Boy(but that’s more of a hardware fail).
Right now its more funny then sad. Because its funny sad right. It feels like they were sitting down and thinking, how can we become more hated. How can we lose more customers.
-_-
At this moment it was just WTF and the hate storm that
followed on Twitter etc was amusing and justified(if anything people should be
more angry).
But as I mentioned I am more amazed of the absolute,
trait of obliviousness of Playdom.
The most now how their retarded system works.
The system fundamentally is horrible, as it only take
in to account. The player’s current rating at the last second already here it’s
stupid.
The effect is of people having to sit and play the
game nonstop the last hours.
To make it worse and absolutely reaching more top of
retardation. They have placed the end on Monday/Tuesday depending on Time
zones. As they most know, for some users it’s in the middle of the night(like
for me) so why can’t they at least end it on a Saturday? If they are going to
extend it now why 7 days again? Do they just hate people who lives outside of
the Us that much?
There is absolutely no reason to end it on Mondays or
any workday for that matter(yes they might make more money but I would argue
that as people who can’t play that day they won’t even bother ergo, no income
from them).
Having this system, people take their time of work or other similar
things to be able to play in this horrid gameplay experience. They seem to be completely
oblivious to this fact.
Another thing I just don’t fucking buy, to be frank. Is that
it supposed to be about BALANCE? It’s supposed to because of Deadpool with
Frenzy? If this is true they just proven yet again that they have no intelligence
what so ever.
First of all Deadpool with Frenzy is still a bad
character, I even wrote to a friend during the crunch hours, "Why do I
face these 60x64 gold guys with Deadpool, they just waste their money he’s so
easy to beat even do they got good stats".
If anything it was balanced he had Frenzy, he needs it
to be playable.
Secondly, this is where one of the reasons of disappointment
comes from. How many seasons have not have super overly unbalanced characters
or glitched characters which were used. How many seasons should not have been
extended if we follow the balance argument from Playdom. It makes absolutely no
sense what so ever. To claim they have to extend because of balance. It is so extremely
unpredictable for a seasoned user, and thereby an extreme confusion, which led
to this baffling disappointment.
Black Widow. Her stun would hit even do the attack missed, this included phased characters.
Colossus: His passive would trigger constantly in defence AFK with enough high stat he was almost impossible to kill.
Daredevil and Dr.Strange were both hard nerfed ? why no extension for that.
Human Torch, has had several bugs......
Kitty: When they changed how Phased works, Kitty's start Phase buff from her suit still had the same old effect while her attack gave her another Phased buff....this was really huge error and did not cause an Extension.
Luke Cage: Is unplayable? If BALANCE is to cause extension, extend and make him Playable Playdom.
Phoenix,.......................There was this amazing bug with Phoenix were she would trigger her passive resurrect if someone of the enemy died. If it was 2 Phoenix and even worse with Valkyrie on the same time the game was truly fucked up. Basically whole season 3 was to make sure you triggered your own Phoenix ultimate first, by for example killing one of their characters.
Phoenix has also been able to resurrect everyone with more than 1% hp...Overall why does she save people from AoE?
If 2 Phoenix were in the game they would both give life to one character so it would end on 50% it was possible to kill 3 characters and having them back and 50% but also to have them at different life such as killing 3 and get 1 at 50% one at 75% and one and 1% etc.
There were many issues, needless to say if anything should cause them to extend it was this. Still they did not.
Spider-man, in season 1 he was impossible to die with.
Thor::: is he bugged right now? Why can’t his stack of Mjolnir be removed, this is much more game breaking then Deadpool.
Mockingbird....................she was bugged to a level of Phoenix. She could gain like 10 turns in 1 turn. No Joke. If for example she attacked a Tactician, become an Infiltrator and Gambit and Human Torch would attack her with their passive, yes their passive (card and bugs) she would gain 2 more turns....then this could be repeated. She could literally have infinitive amount of turns.
But that was apparently fine.
Scarlet Witch. Before if she reached time to her ultimate. The game was over.
Emma Frost BROKEN. Also she would always stun as they had programed her wrong.
Rouge: gaining 3 turns by herself the first turn...
Quicksilver... so many issues with his time attack.
Deadpool: Apparently Deadpool becoming playable was not ok
Hercules: Could block stuff he should not be able to, which made him a really good tank for a while.
Ghost Rider: could survive death 10 times in a row at 1% hp and win games alone versus 3.
CABLE:::::::: was so broken the game would crash if he got stuck by different abilities. . Also he would shot himself by avengers or Psylocke coordination. He if anyone should have forced and extension as some people were using him to crash they attackers game client.
Valkyrie: had Several resurrection issues.
Psylocke: had like 100% chance to coordinate was completely broken her first season and when only 0.5% had her.
Punisher, had and has a lot of AI issues.
Captain Britannia: This one--- this one. IF there is any character that worked overly to good. Because of a glitch it’s Cap B. He had the ability to do his AoE stun everyone and get at least 1 more turn right away. He was played like 90% of the games then after he got “fixed” to how he was supposed to work he is never played never. I mean Really if any character was overly used because of a glitch making him to good its Cap B. If the game is supposed to be fair it absolutely should have been some kind of extension when Cap B was new.
Spiral: Is bugged in her favor same for other avoidance % characters as I have noted on her review.
Agent Venom: says 6 days left when he should be unlocked.
Union Jack could instantly kill everyone if you used hotshot that was fun.
And then of course there is a lot of more characters who are underpowered, as they are just so weak and should be balanced.
Side Note:
Lol- They forget to add in the items for PvP again. They have added back in the old once since I took this image but not the best new ones.....Another mistake.
Lastly. We are dealing with a big brand here. Marvel. Am I the only one, who not only will never pay for anything in Marvel Avengers Alliance(For obvious reason) but also considering to stop paying for other Marvel and in extension Disney products?
