Salvaging 7.0

So now that we've all had a chance to vent about 6.4...err...I mean 7.0, I'll ask the question here that I asked yesterday in my YouTube review of 7.0: What immediate solutions can Kabam implement to try and salvage 7.0?
I'm not talking a lengthy, labor-intensive idea (ya know like they should've been doing since April 3rd's 6.0 release was announced), but something more immediate (in the next few weeks).
Here's my initial thoughts:
1. Introduce T3C Daily Missions. I was beyond shocked that this didn't make it into 7.0, especially with Kabam's emphasis on shifting from 4 stars to 5 stars. In my mind, it was a foregone conclusion that this would be in 7.0 because everybody hates the random crystals. I'd rather eke out the spark essence I need through dailies than continue to deal the disappointment of the dreaded random T3C crystal. It's great to see it will be in the raid store but we have no idea how much will be offered and how often.
2. Re-purpose RoK. Someone in my alliance family chat suggested the idea of "re-opening" Rulers of Kaon for people to complete it again (I wasn't sure if they meant for the same rewards or if they meant slightly updated rewards) but that got me thinking that once you beat RoK, you should have the option to complete again once every week for different rewards. If you're not going to offer T3C Daily Missions, I'd consider this a good substitution to it (you could even make RoK into the T3C Daily Mission for all I care). Each bot you defeat in RoK will give you 2500 T3C, for a final reward total of 5000 T3C of each class after beating the last boss, Demotron. This would reset at the end of each week and be open for anyone who has already completed RoK.
3. A much-needed Bot Balance. While this may not fall in the realm of immediate, it's definitely faster to do than to come up with a new game mode or release Act 4.
4. Reduce energy cost for Medium and Hard difficulty on Spotlight. We've asked for this and it's been ignored. It won't break the game and when you finally do release Act 4, the energy balance to complete both Spotlight and Story will already be there.
5. Fix the Gold Jazz Relic. OK, this one I just threw in there to round it out to 5 things. You said you were going to do it, Kabam. Make good on your promises!!!!
Honorable mentions:
Add T2 Mod sparks to the Raid Store
Add Exclusive Mods to the Raid Store or as part of the aforementioned weekly rotating RoK rewards.
Anyone else have any other thoughts?

Add rotk3.
Add War.
Kabam Miike promised we would see more moderator activity but that just seems like another farce...
If we don't have all the information about 7.0 then maybe they can come and give us a heads up. They definitely made it sound like 7.0 was going to be a really big update but as we all have seen and many of us had already mentioned, this 'update' definitely seems more like a 'patch' and I actually find it odd that Miike states in the update thread "this patch"
Maybe... Just MAYBE... we are missing something ?
While the last 2 are not really immediate, I do agree with the first one, as that can be done fairly immediately.
I did't think of it and it's even better than t3C dailies.
But sorry to tell you this but this idea will never Come up to this game, you know why ? Because it is a good idea, and the good idea from the player never make it to this game
lol I said that in my review; that maybe they're just trolling us and that there really is another half of the update that will drop on the last day of the Road to 7.0 Calendar. Fingers crossed, lol.
Kabam REALLY needs to get to the right page in their calendar... Its not April anymore
lol anything involving the expenditure of energon is sure to get their attention.
Maybe there's an option to pay-as-you-go for less lag? like 10 energon per minute of lag reduction?
This should have been done A LONG LONG time ago. Or at least add a T4 Knight Crystal
Not gonna lie, this one is very minor, but not seeing a new splash screen after we updated the game in the store was also another herald that said 7.0 was gonna be half-baked. The fact that they couldn't even be bothered to do this was not encouraging at all. We don't expect them in the minor updates, but the major updates should definitely have them. Maybe it will come at the end of the calendar though along with that new game mode lol.
Overall, raiding has been long dead in this game because 90% of the time there is nothing worth raiding for.
This game is clearly on life support and I am very saddened by it because I have really enjoyed playing. They might as well start giving the community what we want and keep us semi happy until it gets shutdown.
I have also been saying this for a long time
I've barely seen any mods in here the last few weeks other than for shutting down threads.
Life support, wow man ease with up the dreariness just because you find there is nothing worth raiding for 90% of the time, that doesn't mean everybody else feels that way.
But it ill likely go like this:
2019 8.0 New Content! 2 Brand New Masteries Revealed!
2020 10.0 New Content! 2 Brand New Masteries Revealed!
What? You’ve grown tired seeing Soundwave stepping on Blaster? Hmmm, no new splash screen could imply that this possibly wasn’t actually a major release...
You sensed a 'But...'? No there isn't.
Man you want to talk about bored? Lol same thing every day. Same AM, Same spotlight missions, same everything. I don’t get it.
You want to talk about lag/overheating. Wow I honestly have no idea what goes through the heads of developers. You don’t test the game on actual used devices. Holy crap the lag on devices is a joke. I got guys putting phones in freezers. I got guys waking up in the middle of the night to do AM because that’s the best time to play less people on the server. I got guys who straight don’t care and are that good they push through it. Yes I know Samsung S8-S9 runs great etc. I’m talking about older phones. You know people ain’t made of money, and if they are they still ain’t running to the store for a new phone.
Also who ever the developers are that design your backgrounds...guys THERE is stuff that obstructs the view of the bots. That’s the difference between 100% health and 0%. Please fix this. Also take the spaceship flying the background out...we don’t care about it and it lags like crazy.
You want to talk about more content? Where is it? Seriously where is it? Don’t say it’s coming it’s been coming for 6 months. Give us something more to do. You guys are walking that line again I’m telling you. Lot of players are disappointed
One thing I want to point out is that we are already planning on implementing one of the suggestions, but were going to announce it with the new Spotlight Mission, as it's related to it:
4. Reduce energy cost for Medium and Hard difficulty on Spotlight.
We're going to be reducing the Energy required for Medium from 2 to 1, and the Energy required for Hard from 3 to 2.
Please keep the constructive feedback coming! We're reading it!
This is good news. Is it possible to consider moving Expert to 2 from 3 as well? So the energy per node would end up being (in order of lowest to highest difficulty) 1,1,2,2,3?
That is great news!! Please also consider adding something Permanent to the raid store that we need. I personally would rather have T3 essence added Permanently then having T3 class daily missions. Why? It would actually give me incentive to raid and T3 dailies would take up too much energy that we need for spotlight (although you are addressing that).
Please remove Tier 1 Alpha sharks from Tier 3 knight crystals and most important fix the lag...
You would make alot of people happy.
Also, it would be great to see some of the AM encounters changed. It used to happen once a month, which I’m not suggesting we need to go back to that, but I think once a quarter (every 3 months) is reasonable and we have had beast wars for that long.
It is a minor thing and should take minimal effort, but would go a long way in keeping things fresh.
That’s all what we will get & according to Kabam will save the day.
Enjoy it.
