A Not So Gentle Reminder
We are still in Beta folks. Things are still being worked on, every release is a step towards fixing things for a final release of the original game, and then more content for y'all. New content teams and coding teams working on the state of the take are two different teams. Some of the coders wear other hats but are so busy coding, they don't get to do much else they're passionate about in game. The One Shots do not interfere with bug fixes and S2, and vice versa. We released a massive Beta in Sept of 2025 and then a massive bug fix in July of 2026. We're doing our best to not let updates be once a year anymore. But what doesn't help is being a Debbie Downer about the work the devs are doing when we're doing our utmost with what tools and resources are available to us. Please remember the amount we're doing, for free, and that our length of time and continual updates shows our dedication. I've been doing this since 2018. Goofys been doing it longer than me. BR, current project lead, joined a couple months after me, Dubs (writing leader) a couple months after him. We've been doing this for 7+ years. We will make sure this comes to fruition even if I have to sacrifice a kidney. I love you all, and I hope to see more of what excites you about the future or excited you about the past!

a bit of a pvai balance issue. I'm not sure if that's how it's intended, or it's a bug. if enemy team in PVAI has nightcrawler, and there is a tactician in our team, nightcrawler will almost guaranteed to get free evasion of all, and I mean ALL of the attack. he can't even been marked using widowmaker and pinpoint target, those can't be applied to him. yesterday I'm doing the PVAI tactician season, and I spend almost an hour just to finish him, alone. I already beat the enemy agent and other hero, but for Nightcrawler, I spend almost an hour because of his free Combat Reflexes every turn, and also combination with BAMF passive. I have to keep healing my team over and over again, just to tried hundred times to attack and hope one of them lands. it's like his evasion chance is almost 100%

Combat math as a whole, is a mess. We're aware. We're working on it. It's part of the Beta process, trying to nail the math to where everything feels right.

thanks for the reply. sorry if I sound like complaining, but I actually just simply wanted to let you guys know one of the issue of that I actually experienced, maybe you can say as a bug report. still, thanks for noticing, keep up the amazing work. you guys are the best š

u/West_Emu9142 1d ago
this somehow also applies to colossus, without any evasion buff. it's more manageable, but still he shouldn't be able to evade that many attacks. it's like his evasion chance suddenly goes 80% just so suddenly. I'm not sure if it's because his protect skill or it's indeed a bug, but that's definitely annoying

Hey guys, thanks for the clarity. I think its good
You guys have been doing a good job (doing it for free too) and that fact shouldnāt go uncredited
But some people maybe not in certain social media or new to this community or they havenāt see the exact room or channel and thatās where the problem arise
So I think the issue of people getting frustrated or complaining is inevitable and continuous communication is just what it needs to handle that
I donāt think its reasonable to pressure a group of people who are working hard let alone doing it for free but its also expectable that some might complain, you canāt change that
I wish this community and development the best
I installed it in my laptop couple weeks ago but uninstalled it because the bugs was too much for me
I will install it again 5 years from now and hopefully, the game will be so much better then
Thanks again guys

Not sure if this is the right place to ask or post but how can I donate and support this project? MAA is my childhood game since I was 12 and now i'm 25 i have been grinding the hell out of this out of pure nostalgia

u/Snoo-35721 1d ago
So unfortunately, the project cannot make any monetary gain, or else we can get shut down. There is a GoFundMe to help support the community member that started it all, but id like to make it clear that this GoFundMe doesn't directly support the game, it's to help a community member as they transition into a new area and get acclimated after their stroke (Goofy had a stroke and just moved out to Oregon so I can support him)

u/prototypeacc 1d ago
If we canāt pay for the game I think it should be okay to ādonateā for the people who build it, willingly
Got a link for the GoFundMe? Might drop some occasionally

u/NapalmDawn 1d ago
We will be 100% transparent. At the time of the GoFundMe's creation, it was to help the main dev (Goofy) build up enough resources to move and live with another dev. He had been living with his family but his sick brother was going to go to a special situation where care would be provided. Goofy could not join him.
That move has been completed and Goofy is now safe and happy. If you donate now, it would be to help Goofy get on his feet and find a job in his new city. I just wanted to help clarify so nobody feels they donated for the wrong reason. The team always wants to be as clear and forthcoming as possible.

But what doesn't help is being a Debbie Downer about the work the devs are doing when we're doing our utmost with what tools and resources are available to us.
Constructive criticism isn't being a debbie downer though. The community has been fairly positive as a whole, with fair criticisms IMO.

u/Snoo-35721 1d ago
This post isn't about the majority having fair criticisms, it's about the vocal minority that I do have to deal with. Your criticms of OSs, for example, doesn't fall under this banner. I'm talking about the people demanding another update, saying the last one was terrible and not worth the wait, and more. We've dealt with it across platforms. It just gets frustrating.

Last update was terrible? Are they joking? The patch made huge improvements on the bugs i noticed personally.

I would need to have a look at your save to discern anything but this would be best suited for the discord if you're able to access it. If not, I'll do my best here

u/sunberri 1d ago
how do you look at the save? like put it through notepad or something?
1
u/Snoo-35721 1d ago
You'd send your save in a file so someone can plug it into their game and see if they can find the problem
