This is one of the many reasons you and BG are easily my favorite mcoc youtubers. Not afraid to show the community feedback no matter how negative towards an event it might be. regardless if they actually listen to this feedback, i appreciate you always making this videos addressing all of this
Bro I opened a daily valiant crystal 1 day before the banquet and got 5000 7* shards from it. Then I opened 100+ banquet crystals and the highest reward i got is 3500 7* shards… LOL..
As a ftp player this event pissed me off I grinded out 5k units for this event to try to have a good time since kabam said it would be great, then I figured out that I need 15k units just to max out milestones and on top of that out of the 35 crystals I opened I only got 1.5k seven star shards, some tier 5 cc, and I didn’t even form one t6 from all of this, I’m honestly outraged and wished I spent my units completing the necro carinas, not this excuse for an event
That's why it's never worth it to wait for the banquet. I used my units on cyberweekend and got 4 new rank 3s as a f2p.. Can't be happier than that. Crazy how 15k units during the banquet only give you 1, maybe 2 new rank 3s
literally, and the fact he brought out that he got the best champion in the key pool, when the rest of us are stuck with purgatory or sentry. or even worse bpcw after his horrendous "buff". this is absolutely insane to come out of a ceo's mouth
It needed much more than that to make this better the Sbc ratios should have been lower. Over 100 opened and now all I have is a lot of gold and a lot of stuff in my overflow that I’ll have to sell to get more gold.
@littlebitbrooks11 I'm right there with you. This is the tipping point t for me. Biggest slap in the face in mobile game history, IMO. Absolutely pathetic Kabam, pathetic.
In touch with the community… this is the same guy that was hyping up the reunion crystals and how they were soooo good and that they were the best value for money
@xLUMINOUSx for real. 100% true. This is an abomination this year. Couldn't have strategically planned for it to be worse than ever before. Kabam does this shit wayyy too often to claim they're "possibly not as in touch with the community as they should have been planning this". Crashes statements literally make it 10× worse. Why are these scumbags such greedy, soulless assholes. Boggles the mind. If they just had good deals and decent drops they would make MORE money than thinking the community will spend more trying to compensate for Kabams massive failure. What a terrible joke.
So I worked from 8 to 4 today and I told myself, I'm not going to ruin the surprise of the banquet event by watching videos on it, I have 14k units and it'll probably get more by completing milestones. So after I got off work I drove home, sat down, and after completing milestones and exchanging the banquet tokens. Opened 66 SBC, I had been saving units all year long when I had a chance when I wasn't working on college or working. When I say my heart dropped, I mean it hit rock bottom and shattered. Crystal after crystal just T6CC shards. Barely any 7*shards or titan shards, the only good thing is I somehow was able to dupe my shocker finally. Milestones gave us what I thought should be in the crystals. What really gets me is the disconnect from kabam to their players. There are whales and they encourage the whales. If not why are there rank rewards for opening the most Banquet crystals. Normal players aren't going to get that. After I opened youtube and saw that my case wasn't similar except for the whales that put videos up showing that they opened 400 SBC's. So kabam, if you think that there aren't whales, take away the rank rewards for opening banquet crystals. There are whales and I am fine with them. But don't take away the quality of the SBC's because you don't want a big gap between the whales and the regular players, the whales have been here for years, you have always encouraged them. And since you encourage them, that's what makes regular players save their units for a year, for this event specifically. So that they can get a tiny taste of what it means to have a big event. If you show the regular players that it does matter if you spend a whole bunch unless you spend thousands and opens hundreds of SBC's for the rank rewards, regular players are going to recognize that it doesn't matter if they save up for a whole year. I regret spending all my units for there crystals, I feel like the hype was overinflated and that I missed out on cyberweekend deals. I'm very disappointed with this event. This doesn't feel like part of the 10 year anniversary or even a banquet event. It feels like I spent units to continually do the daily event challenge.
16:02 “I’m having a blast with my new 7-star Medusa. Enjoy the holiday break everyone.” THIS REALLY PISSED ME OFF, LIKE WHAT THE FUCK???? Because of that drop rate I could get ANY of the gifted guardians champions and he is smudging it on my face like he doesn’t care. And then he tells me to enjoy the holiday break? What in the actual fuck is this????
yeah me too. I would be happy with my medusa, xpool, purg, or sentry too but It turns out that its not even a selector dispite how it looks. I also watched all the live streams and completely thought we were going to be able to pick who we wanted after paying to unlock that. I mean, they are OLD champs I didn't think my pick of the 5 was asking too much.
I remember him saying that the crystal wasnt much filler this time ? lmao, last year when i was thronebreaker i opened the basic banquets and got me a 6 star weapon x and bunch of rank up material, this year i got nothing as a valiant, and that line about medusa at the end ? tone deaf.
I opened over 16k units worth of crystals. They yielded about 5k units worth of items. That 5k is generous. I feel completely ripped off. Could you imagine an in game offer for 5700 t6cc fragments for 300 units? How many people would buy it? That's what the majority of the SBC's are dropping. That's the disconnect that Kabam doesn't see. It's not that there are crystals like this in the event, it's that a large percentage of the crystals are like this.
@@kenrobinson1432 as I said hardwork be it wasting time in this game Or spending hard earned money ain't worth it. Should have played one of those carina's challenge like cul's worthy or the more easy one the Masterful mutants (Apoc, sinister, stryfe, wagyu and Storm)
THIS!! I remember getting multiple six star nexus last year as a thornebreaker in the crystals and it was so fun! But now I get none out of the crystals
Let me completely dismantle Crashed’s statement about trying to mitigate the account power separation of whales and guppies… the diminishing size of the ranked rewards from the whales to even the 1-5%. This event was nothing short of the rich get richer, not by the crystals, but by the ranked rewards. The top 10 are catapulting over a year of progress ahead of the rest. While they bathe in rank 4 material, we could have caught up in a fun way by champion acquisition via tons more shards. There’s so many champs in the game, wtf is the problem with the shard stinginess.
Yeah that's definitely the biggest mistake. They don't want TB getting a bunch of r3 materials. Solution? Split valiant and TB apart so they won't. Them combining it is absolutely braindead.
To be that out of touch to think you can make a TB quality crystal and give it to Valiant players is a complete and absolute joke. Whatever idiot thought that was a good idea needs to literally lose their job.
1) Why did kabam hype this event knowing fully it is trash 2) why bump the unit cost and reduce the number of units they give back in the event itself 3) where tf is the christmas calender 4) why call it SBC'S when they should have been called MIDBC'S. 5) most important point of them all is if they really care about the negetive feedback
Yeah I was expecting a couple thousand units back though milestones and I got like 850. I can literally get that many units from one arena milestones grinding session
@@Haunted_Gains this bro. Crashed was talking about the box like we'd be getting 6+ keys... We're getting 3 unless you get SUPER lucky. Maybe we misunderstood him but I thought we'd be getting way more keys.
Imagine if there was an offer for $800 in the game for -40 million gold -4 7* crystals -10,000 titan shards -1 t4a -and a handful of CC to add to your inventory YOU WOULD DIE LAUGHING AT IT AND NEVER CONSIDER BUYING IT. THAT IS WHAT MY $800 in banquet crystals yielded. A JOKE!!!
I said this on Reddit and I'm sure you're going to say this in the video but I wouldn't be so disappointed in the SBC if this wasn't hyped up as the Grand banquet. Milestone rewards were fine, Realm event rewards are good (if we get Isophyne) but the crystals were just a let down .
Yeah I’ve said this too and 100% agree. They hyped it up like craaaaazy. I was expecting a Titan crystal in the solo milestones. And we got zero shards even 😂
@JO-ji4bb I was expecting a 2-3 gem and also a titan. I opened 74 crystals and my highlight was 19k 7* shards. Granted all the 7*s I did put were all bangers (werewolf, warlock, Juggs dupes and a double Adam plus Purg) but I expected more than just regular 7* crystals.
@@mcocdropshotmy issue with this comment is what if the summoners was looking for shards to get something for the challenges. I know I was looking for champs to eventually be able to do that and it wasn't great tbh
@@nemesislord4851 That’s literally the only reason that I was considering opening SBC’s aswell… I don’t have a Chavez or a Wong for the challenges. But I decided not to because Kabam released the details of how bad Banquet was going to be before the event started. So I opened crystals until I got the She-Hulk Piece and stopped. Had 5.4k units to spend on revives for Necropolis CC’s. I just completed 2 challenges tonight, Dimentional Beings (without Chavez), and Gods challenge. I’m now 3/5 challenges done because I decided not to still open crystals even after Kabam released the details for how trash they are. It sucks that people still spent their units though. Just glad it wasn’t me. Kabam shafted EVERYONE. It was to be expected.
I dropped around 8K units myself just to put in a bit of work for the Alliance Event, but I gotta say that I am very underwhelmed this year. Got us all hyped for the SUPERIOR Banquet Crystal and it's super mid at best, lol.
Lags hit it on the head. There’s a balance in the game that they need to keep. Hindsight is 20/20 but honestly going a bit “overboard” for your 10yr anniversary would justify stepping back in next years spring event. All they have to to do is have some level of transparency
Kabam is lying about wanting to minimise the gap between whales and regular players. Whales are already at the stage of having full r3 BGs decks and war setups so adding better drop amounts for t6cc, removing t5cc and the ½ drops for t3a/t6b would not aid them at all in getting r4 because those aren't the bottleneck. Whales also have every meta champ so they value shards and champ selectors much less than regular players, so there's no reason to have such crap drop amounts and drop rates for 7 star, titans and champ selectors because again, whales don't benefit much from these but regular players do The main bottleneck for whales is t7b which could be kept as is if the rest of the crystal were buffed for regular players. So no, their argument of doing this "for the sake of regular players" is not the real reason. And because they are smart enough to realise all of this anyway, my bet is that it's just kascam at work again and they don't want to admit it, but it's clear as day to everyone. They don't even need to add more t4a for all the people who keep saying "what about everyone getting too many r3s and accelerating the game pace" notice how i didn't mention t4a once above because i think it's in a healthy spot right now in terms of it's availability so i actually don't mind the drop rates and amounts in the SBC Also also, i find it funny that they're so worried about the crystals being too good for whales who will buy a lot of them, but have no concern about the high rank rewards for whales who are gonna walk away with multiple r4 champs 😂
They shouldn't have added valiant players to this pool. Link wtf why we pushed to valiant to get same thing we get in Tb and paragon? Valiant should be different.
I agree valiant players deserve better, but I feel like paragon players as well deserve better rewards than TB. TB should straight up be excluded from paragon and valiant rewards as the gap between TB and paragon is quite large and valiants completely eclipse TB players. Also most paragon players need better rank up rewards so that they can actually hit valiant. In fact the best solution imo would've been progression based crystals for TB+ in which TB gets crystals catered to them, paragons get crystals catered to them and valiants gets crystals catered to them.
Oh, itsy bitsy little thing... Have any of yall have actually seen the sig stones they give in the realm event? Because, for me they can ONLY be used on the 6 new 7*, mind you, how are you gonna dupe them? Who knows, but i got 40 sigs as paperweight in the meantime
This is what made me the most pissed/ confused. It either seems like somwhere there was supposed to be another awakening gem, or more keys. I have 55 sig stones and no way to awaken any of them 😂
My thoughts: I spent a ton of units on this event on my main account (30k units) and I barely got anything. The milestones are pathetic and the crystals are awful. To fix this, I think a “care package” like you said would be great. However I don’t think this would fix everything. This would leave the players that spent something like 1200 units unhappy with their rewards. I think a promo code based on story progression for everyone would be better. Also, in the GBCs, it should be progression based. TBs should not be getting the same rewards as a valiant whale. Next- to make up for the trash event, I would say Kabam should add some sort of a Christmas calendar- something like the 10 7*s, but instead, something that is progression based, and includes very good rewards (7* r4 materials, 7* awakening gem shards, a lot of 7* sig stones, etc) for valiant players while tbs would get something like 7* shards, 7* titans, 7* rank 2 materials, etc. My final suggestion would be to maybe add some sort of challenge valiant players can do to get certain rewards - kind of like Carina challenges, but instead spending units on GBCs, opening 7* crystals, etc. They could give good rewards for completing these objectives. This would kind of be like a milestone track, but better in my opinion. I think Kabam really screwed this event up and it is going to leave a lot of people unhappy if it is not fixed. Someone I know spent 120k units on this event, just to get barely any rewards.
I think there is a clear problem with the cost of a 7* titan cristal We are almost able to r4 7* and the titan are still as rare as in the first day they have been introduced. This is not normal. With 6*, being able to purchase featured was possible by just getting a bit more 6* shards. With titan crystal, you need either to dupe 7* A LOT or to get the very very small amount of shards you can get from events. Either way, you have to wait such an incredible amount of time to get a titan, it's unbearrable. I get that it must be more occasional to get a titan because newer champs are inside, but this is too much, especially after all this time, it's getting ridiculous. This event show it well, with titan shards drop being so low with very low amount of them. Yes there might be a very few people getting lucky with a good pool... But for the mast majority of us, we could spend 30-40k units and just get 3-4k titan shards This SHOULD NOT be possible, and the worst thing being that we may not even get a lot of regular 7* shards either. Maybe i was scammed, but after using 45k units, i was not even able to open A SINGLE 7* crystal out of my banquet crystal drops... The only crystal i could open was 2 from the milestones and that's it. It is just infuriating that such low value prize such as 7* shards are so rare to get, especially in the "upgraded superior banquet crystal" that is, i remind, aimed at ranking up 7* champs specifically !
So, I’ve so far spent about 21k units on SBCs (PLUS the 10 from outpost store, milestones and accolades so far) …I have NOT received ANY titan shards or a fully formed 7* champ. The only luck I’ve had so far was x1 box key, x1 trophy selector and x1 t4a. That’s it. Thinking about holding back my last 12k units for Necro, deathless pieces or future Everest events at this point to get the best milage out of my remaining units. After the first few sets of x10 SBCs, it all suddenly turned to crap and didn’t really improve since. I May drop for one last set of 10 towards the end of the event and if the pulls are crap again - that’s it, not one more unit on this event.
They say that they moved the Valiant level rewards to the milestones( high level at that ) and not the crystals , so Kabaam thinks Valiant players are the same as TB players ?? or do valiant players get more units . Unit farm is literally the same for the TH , paragon and valiant players . So a free to play Valiant has the same value to Kabaam as a TB player , F no , F this shit . 10 years grand event more like 10 year dump shit. This should have been the best event for all of us whether F2p or spenders [fyi : of course the spenders should get more not saying equal rewards here ]. And Kabam need to not include Valiants with lower level player . We are valiants cause we did hard work , playing this game at that level is not easy and we are rewarded the same shit as TB players for the banquet crystals ( no shit to TB players but we are not the same ). Just because we are valiant it doesn't mean we all are super rich in real life as well , Kabam says "We wanted to move more of the rewards to the milestones" yeah so do being valiant mean I need to now pay more ( real money ) as well to get valiant level rewards , or just get the TB level rewards and go home. At least be more considerate for your 10 year anniversary. I opened 30+ crystals to get barely enough to rank up two champs R3 my kushala (fyi: I got zero t4a from the crystals zero , just a lot of t6cc [5700] fragments) and R2 crossbones for the necro challenge. This was a disappointment , I am just sad now 🥹. Going to play some Marvel Rivals so that I can have some fun at least for today. On a different note : We still dont have a Valiant EQ or SQ level technically , even the Paragon has lost its value . Kabam pays no value to that or if they will say they are working on that and release it when we get new progression like you are working on that at what speed ? the speed of an snail ?
@@cyphergaming4580exactly, Paragon and Valiants get garbage rewards compared to new Thronebreakers and the Realm event milestones are so expensive that only the high spenders will even get "the valiant tier" rewards, what a fucking joke.
Also, sinister objectives to get SBC's should not have been taken into account when Kabam structured this event. Kabam deliberately reduced the amount of SBC's in the milestones and accolades event, and they took away the calendar. Those crystals were a bonus for completing objectives over the last 4 or so months. There should be another 10-15 crystals in milestones, calendar, and accolades. It's bs.
to me this is a whopping disasppointment, I spent around 12k units and the only noteworthy items i got, were a shocker from the selector, a titan crystal and a t4a. I know this is still better then most but i feel disgusting, 12k units is basically 4 odins, so for 4 odins i got a shokcer, one t4a and a single titan, if this was an offer in cyber we would've ransacked kabam hq. typically the milestones is we see the guaranteed the value, but even the milestones are ass, idgaf about a 1-2 gem or 4 T6b. their should've been at least a 2-3 crystal in the solo milestones. i don't know what kabam can do to improve community sentiment but something has to be done, because wtf is this event additionally the really juicy rewards are all locked in the realm event, which is cool and all but most of us didn't have 15k units saved up considering last year we only needed 10k and kabam only released this info, a couple days before the banquet event this means a good chunk of the community wont get access to the juicy realm event rewards, addiotanlly the actual realm event rewards arent even that crazy, the awakening gem we get is only for the 7 reworks and what if you don't get the champ you're looking for from those 7, then your stuck with a gem you don't want to use and your options are purgs or sentry. but its okay because you can buy more keys in an odin and them maybe you'll get the champ your interested in, KASCAM ! this was a massive rant, but i truly hope kabam can think of something to rectify the colossal mishap that is the "10 year, grand banquet"
It’s like they pushing out catalysts and stuff so people can reach valiant. It’s not gonna take long for a new progression title maybe ? I spend about 32k units and got nothing
Thank you for making this video. I spent all of my units (10,000 per account) and am waiting to open them with my son who is doing the same. After seeing all these opening, I’m no longer extremely excited to open them because my luck is bad enough the way it is, this makes it worse. There was so much hype and so much expectation for a 10 year anniversary event that I really think they missed the mark with this one. I need new good champs to progress, and I can’t do that with a hand full of shards. Come on Kabam. Make this Christmas and Anniversary worth remembering (in a good way).
The game has been successful on the market for 10 years now and is being celebrated with the loyal players😂 Unbelievable. You can't tell anyone that. Nevertheless, good luck to you and your son in opening the crystals. You'll need it🤕✌🏽
@ I’m sorry, I’m not quite understanding what you are saying. I just got some bad news about my uncle dying and now I can’t seem to think straight. I’ve been in the game for 10 years and I think you’re saying that us loyal players can’t say we are celebrating with them because the crystals aren’t celebration worthy? Sorry for not comprehending right now. :(
I never understand people looking forward to the rng of banquet more than the guaranteed value of cyber weekend bundles. These crystals were crap, but my expectations were low. Unfortunately, I still opened enough to qualify for the Isophyne dupe from the realm event, but it won’t be a surprise if we don’t get there because it just takes one 10-pop of crystals to realize how bad they are for ftp and low spenders.
Absolutely horrified by the response from kabam. The community is screaming out with disappointment and complaints but they are insisting we are wrong and they are right. 300 units for basically nothing is such a scam.
You know I’m not on a game team, but I feel like Kaba crash just kinda overlooked it of what everyone else is saying yeah the crystals have the resources to rank up a seven star, but only to rank two rank three is most nonexistent and then you have the almost no tier 7, and then the shards are have horrible drop rates no disrespected to the game team, but that’s just my look on it
I’m keeping it respectful as possible… out of all the things that happened this year, Kabam CANNOT mess up their 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY. But they did, and the sad reality is most likely, they aren’t going to compensate or even fix the issues with this event. If the player count drops significantly, I wouldn’t be surprised due to what it seems to me (and maybe others) a lack of consideration and a players first mentality. Ex. Helldivers 2. That game was the perfect example of what happens if you fuck with the fans/ listen and consider them. Kabam and many of the long term players (myself included) want the longevity of this game to last hopefully another 10 years. With this behavior, that won’t happen
On Xmas day we should all get 7 star rank down tickets would be huge imo. In order to get valiant we had to R3 champs, some got class rank gems that forced them to rank champs they didn't want to or sometimes we rank champs hoping or thinking they'll be better and turn out to not be as useful or as good as expected. Giving us the option to rank down an r3 and rank up someone else would be super cool. As for the banquet event they need to make it right somehow and your suggestions would be solid
I definitely agree that there needs to be compensation for something like this. Not simply for the fact that this event is GARBAGE, but due to the fact that hundreds of summoners have invested THOUSANDS of units to get what is really just a wet fart of useless items. For 15k invested, I was at least hoping to walk away with 2 titan crystals, 10 7 star crystals, a significant amount of R3 material… and yet all I walked away with was 17k 7 star shards and a quarter of a titan crystal. That holiday gift better be a titan nexus or I’m done with this game. After 10 years this very well may be the final nail in the coffin for me. Also, I loved Lags pointing out the hypocrisy of Crashes comments about not wanting to have a divide between pay to play and free to play. DUDE, your top ranked rewards are creating a HUMONGOUS gap between players. We are fine with this, as long as our investment as players who use units that we grind for free/spend small amounts on are rewarded accordingly. Kabam Crash and the rest of the team are completely out of touch. I’ll be curious to see how Karate Mike and Dorky try and push the narrative that this event is actually good, considering they are Kabam employees. Don’t drink the kool-aid yall.
A few things I would like to see. A promo code for 10-20 SBC with some units.(I just need units tbh lol) Fix the drop rates. Banquet is supposed to let us spend money and get ahead. We can’t get really get ahead when the drop rates are terrible. And even if whales get a bunch of crystals, it’s not like they will really get ahead. (Not to mention, free to play players, can grind all year, save up all the units, but can’t get anything good for what they saved all year long.) I get mile stones are supposed to get us a lot of things. BUT we should’ve have to spend 15k-20k units to get absolutely EVERYTHING. Like look at the BG event, everyone had to do 5k as the bare minimum to get all the rewards. Why can’t it be the samething ? This is supposed to be the ten year anniversary, and we are supposed to get AMAZING stuff especially during Christmas. I love what lags said Since there is already a fully formed titan, there shouldn’t be 20k shards. Not even 1k. I barely hit valiant like two weeks ago. And I was hoping to at least get one maybe even two rank threes this event. I barely can get one.
I get what Crashed is saying but adding more 7* shards, titan shards and sig stones in the crystal will not create a bigger gap. The whales already have everything maxed out. Having better drop rate will actually decrease the gap in a way
@themaker2149 yeah but spending 10k units and having 29 crystals from tokens that's means I opened nearly 70 crystals and that's literally the only good thing I got
Honestly loved the vid Lags and completely agree with most of the community that this event falls significantly short of the mark. If I had to say what I would fix it’s the drop rates for better things. In events like this ppl don’t want to only have rank up resources. They need to either fix the crystals themselves or just flat out give ppl 7 star shards, Titan shards, nexus crystals if possible, more sig stones, more 7 star AG shards, more chances at keys and champ selectors. When you open 100 of these crystals or more and you can’t even open a few champion crystals or get awakenings or sig lvls up it really doesn’t matter if you have the rank up resources to bring up champs because you didn’t get anything new to help you. 🤷
This is really just sad. I feel like Kabam wanted this to be really special and it's just not it. This time I feel like the community is more dissapointed than outraged. We all wanted this to be special.
I saved up 10k in units and after spending 9k... felt pretty decent what I got out. I did get four or five new 7 star champions and was able to fully max out three 6 star champions that were already at rank 4. I feel like I made out well but this is 9k in units.
Kabam can salvage this debacle quite easily, just like the "Stark Foundation" bailed us out with the crystal opening realm event, just have Tony drop another donation and unlock some additional milestones, and they can gauge at the end with how many are locked, maybe drop the required contributions, etc.
If the idea is to not inflate whales, they already have everyone at r3. kabam could have added much more r3 mats into SBCs, which would be nearly useless for whales but incredibly valuable for us.
And if Kabam wants to make the argument that this event can benefit lower players, it’s not even true. I’ve heard so many people in Cavalier Uncollected who pulled usable characters out of the nexus as well as the event just being fillers. GBCs and SBCs have an insane amount of catalyst fillers which are impossible to even gain off of without hard grinding or paying. The rewards just don’t fit, especially compared with Cyber Monday or the 10 day calendar, even. GBCs have a little over 1 in 3 chances of offering catalysts, which I don’t think has been ANYONE’S experience considering the overwhelming amount of negativity towards the crystals, and it definitely hasn’t been mine. So unless everyone got pretty unlucky, or someone’s lying about having less fillers. Man Kabam.
I can’t complain. I needed one T4 alpha to rank my second 7* to rank 3 for valiant, and this event gave me what I needed. Brought my Domino to rank 3!!! No complaints here.
Banquet benefits smaller accounts (such as yours). It doesn't benefit Valiant players at all. It doesn't make sense for TB to be getting the same rewards as Valiant.
As a free-to-play player, I managed to save up 67,000 units over the last six months for the banquet events. Kabam really hyped up the banquet over the past two months, and from my experience, when they build up something that much, it often leads to disappointment for players. So, I decided to shift my focus and save my units for Cyber Weekend, anticipating some great deals. I ended up spending 52,000 units during that event, and I’m glad I made that choice. If I hadn’t, I would definitely be feeling frustrated right now with this lackluster event.
I opened over 50 Crystals, and all I received was 20,000 7* shards and 2,000 Titan shards. I keep getting nothing but T5CC! Seriously, what is Kabam doing for the players?
@@__-kl7oxIt was just t5cc t6b and t3a It is useless and I don’t even rank 6 stars to where I need t6b and t3a. the only thing good from this banquet is the milestones and if u could get lucky lucky pulls, KABAM did bad
@ Yes, but two years ago, when you opened a GGC crystal at Christmas, it brought a sense of happiness, like unwrapping a surprise gift. You never knew what you would get, but it never let you down. Nowadays, though, it just feels a bit frustrating.
From the 10 crystals you get if you got the 7 star mr sinister bundle, I got ONE good pull, and it was 500 7 star awakening gem crystal. Every other crystal was T6 CC. As for feedback, I got a couple ideas, for things they could add, and compensation. For feedback: Obvious one first, increase the desirableness (word? idk) of the SBC. I opened 2 GBCs from the milestone, and it felt better than the SBCs because I got actual champion crystals. Next, lower the goddamn boundary for the realm event. To get even half of the rewards requires spending units (not buying the SBC offer in the store) worth approximately $200-$300. It's ridiculous. Some of us spent our units doing the necro challenges for those rewards. Third, add *something* else. Some sort of quest, or activity, or SOMETHING else players can do to earn rewards. Even if it takes like 100 hours of playing to do, players will do it. Not saying make it as good as the rewards people can pay for, just some other way to get rewards for the non-whales. Finally, ISO. ADD ISO TO THE REWARDS PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! Even if I get some cool champs, it doesn't mean shit IF I CAN'T LEVEL THEM UP!!! If you ended up getting every single one of the champs that you wanted out of this event, it would take a massive amount of iso to rank them up. Remember the poolies event, where people could get that one offer for selectors of the really big iso bricks? AND it was super cheap? Bring that back 1000%. For compensation: Even if they do give out compensation, they're not gonna give out r4 mats, so that's out. My guess would be GG keys. Prolly a key, some 7* shards, a T6CC, and maybe some gold and 7* sig stones. PS: Kind of shitty of Crashed to be like "Haha, Imma go enjoy my new medusa I spent $200 for, I'll see you after the holidays, get f*cked nerds!"
The hypocrisy is that in cyber weekend where actual money is spend- u don’t mind creating gaps among player types/classes. When it comes to unit based event - where everyone can grind and accumulate and participate- u think here this would create gaps! Ridiculous
They added three 7* (1 nexus) to the milestones which is awesome. BUT they are pretty high up on on the scale (around 12-15k units) so it kind of defeats the purpose for those who are free to play who spent their very last 6,000 units on this event. I think a care package is a great idea. There should be a care package sent out for the holiday for each level of spending and it needs to be decent. Rough Draft- care package (paragon +) (thronbreaker and below would likely have to be 7* shards in some amount) 1-1000 units- 10,000 7* shards 1000-3000 units- 7* crystal 3000-5000 units- 7* nexus 5000-7000 units- 1x 7* and 1x 7* nexus 7000-10,000 units- 1x 7* nexus and 1x titan crystal 10,000-13,000 units- 1x 7*nexus, 1x titan crystal, 1000 awakening shards 13,000 - 16,000 units- 1x 7* nexus, 1x titan crystal 2000 7* awakening shards 16,000+ units- 1x 7* nexus, 1x titan crystal, 5000 7* awakening shards It would be an excellent gift to receive, but in terms of the overall market of the game it wouldn't move the needle too much or affect the overall character market or value in a super meaningful way. I say this because those who have the means or have saved 15,000k they would love another 7* and a titan nexus, but it wouldn't make a big impact or lower the value of the crystals. For those on the lower end that spent less it would be super helpful to get another 7*, but also wouldn't break the bank. And even if someone doesn't have a huge line up, but was able to save 15,000 units + they would get an increase to their lineup that is at least partially worth the time spent for saving. I also wanted to weight it a bit more value towards the lower end because the higher end players will already be receiving a lot. This way whales get a little something, but also those who spent less also get a nice reward. Feel free to be honest if I am way off base here or if this is too much. I wanted it to be meaningful, but also not to break the games market currently. I am lucky enough to have the funds to spend and have a large lineup so I may be way off base. If so, I am fine with you letting me know it :) With the addition of the 7*s to the realm milestones, I doubt they will do this, but it is fun to dream :) Thanks!
Don't play MCOC much now. However, before quitting I had lots of units saved up, came back and opened my superior banquet crystals, didn't get crazy pulls but got enough for some milestones to rank up champs and get new 7*s. Now wanting to progress through the story and try out new characters
I’ve played for ten years. This is the worst(by faaaar) event since the nerfed Thor/DS/SW back in the 4* days. I put aside 16k units for trash. Kabam is a joke and the players old and new deserve sooo much better. We got screwed!
Bring back gwenpool goes to the movies event for 1 month straight. Update the awards for that event. 1 month appreciation calendar for everyone. For every 250 units spent on banquet crystals, send players a care package that is progression level. You are welcome Kabam community! Happy Holidays!!
I have been playing this game since day 1, that means I'm playing this game for 10 years, and the Xmas event was always something for me to get hyped for... but this year I think it is what it is going to make me stop playing it for good. Kabam's awnser is just sad...
The thing i hated about this the most was there was no reward for spending money in the kabam online shop, the cyber weekend online shop was dope, I spent $600 and got some pretty good stuff that made me not regret it especially with how well placed the mile stones were making you want to spend more money, I spent around $600 today and to me it was a waste of money as far as I see it I'm done with this event huge let down especially compared with cyber weekend, $600 and cant even open a titan
It is extremely depressing...I would have spent on cyber weekend...I have 65 t6c and 58 t3a....but 3 t4a... absolutely unbelievable. I've been saving all year for this and all I have to look forward to is a bunch of expiring rank up mats that I will never use because they just gave us all t6c and t3a...I want to puke
My main issue isn't even with the Crystals necessarily. They're Crystals we all know what we signed up for. My issue is with the 15k units to hit all the milestones. If Kabam doesn't want a huge gap between top spenders and everyone else the answer seems obvious to me. Make it easier for everyone to hit all the milestones so everyone at least knows a bare minimum of what they're getting. That way whatever they get from the Crystals is a bonus. If you're going to use crystals as keys make all the locks easier to open. Am I crazy? That seems like common sense to me.
I feel like this event could be easily fixed too. Just lower the drop rates for some of the t6cc and other stuff like that, while also increasing the drop rates of titan crystal shards, 7* shards, and other rewards that give people champs and rank up materials for 7* r4’s and r3’s.
I bought 2 of the superior banquet crystals bundles on the 20th for 10 crystals each. Now today they upgraded both the offer to include a 7* banquet key and also milestone rewards in the store. I posted this on the forum as well cause had I known that I’d waited.
Weird thing about the crystals guys popping 10x gives u much better rewards than spinning from my testing from spinning I got nothing but t6cc but from popping got 2 nexus 7 stars, 1 key, 1 special champion selector, around 5/6k titan shards and 60k 7 star shards and when u combine it with the milesstones it's a very good deadl for 15-18k but still it is MASSIVELY RNG dependant so that sucks
Also I would like to point out that the disparity in expectations is 100% driven by Kabam. They have used the last three to four live streams beating every god damn drum they can find to hype this event. Period.
I feel this event is very good for thronebreaker and below Paragon and above we’re screwed I see a lot of comments saying that they hyped this event so much for this and I agree.
I'll be real, I get the frustrations with this event butt so far, I've had a blast. I'm a ftp valiant player, saved around 3.5k units for banquet(could've been near 8k but I caved for cyber weekend T-T). Anyhow, I spent all my units and my first 10 pop gave me not only a banquet key but also gave me a 7* trophy champ selector which I gladly took thanos(I know vision is the better champ but I love the thought of owning a 7* thanos lol). Then was able to get tons of 7* shards which gave me extra sigs on my r3 attuma to help max him out at 200 and a new photon, along with titan shards which gave me a new 7* enchantress. This event also allowed me to r2 some 7* champs needed for the necro challenges which I was happy for. So far from the banquet keys, I got a 7* purgatory and sentinel so along with new deathless shehulk, my account blew up to where I now own more than 100 7* champs. Overall, while I did have a good experience on the first day, I completely understand why people hate this event. The t5cc and t6cc drops were too frequent and should be axed with those high rates, completely atrocious if you ask me. I'm definitely not giving a penny to kabam for this event but I will try to grind as many units as possible to buy some more crystals to get some r3 materials.
As a new thronebreaker, w event. So far opened 10 ggc, and 10 sbc and got one key, a 6 star bullseye and a starky from a nexus, and a total of 5 new 7 stars, I previously only had 3. I also got a key which gave me Deadpool. From my other 7 star crystals I got domino, dust, and Chavez. So w’s for me.
So much to say about this year’s event! Firstly, I am a valiant player but a very casual one and on that basis I personally am not too sad about the amount of t6cc I’ve picked up because for me and the time I put into would have taken me ages to pick up outside of this event BUT that’s my personal situation and rewards output for time input…that’s my choice and that’s the game I play, however, it’s obvious that a lot of people investing what I’d consider that mid range of units, around the 12k mark feel very differently! Everyone, I’d say at this point, is in agreement that the drop rates in the SBC are diabolical and I thought they were meant to be free of filler rewards this year? How kabam can claim this yet have 30 drops in a crystal is absolute garbage and this (kabam crashed) is the main disconnect between how the game team sees this event and how disappointed summoners see it: 1000 titan shards and 1500 7* shards are filler and that can’t even be denied. This could go on for ages so I’m just going to skip to my idea, which is, keep the incrementing rewards in groups of 4 (the 4 is important * see below*) but make them ALL worth while, for example: 7* shards - 5k, 10k, 15k, nexus Titan - 5k, 10k, 15k, 20k (Lags, I know you question the presence of 20k titan shards and a fully formed crystal but I get it - if it’s a current titan and you don’t want to open one you have no choice but 20k shards you can save for the future). Ok, so now for the 4 part. All rewards are incremental in groups of 4 and the only drop rates are on selectors in the crystals, 4 levels of selector, for example: (%) 40, 30, 20, 10 OR 50, 30, 15, 5 Something like that and that’s it! Out of those selectors we get to choose from the relevant increment of 4 which reward we want. 5% chance at a top tier selector and you get to choose a 7* nexus OR 20k titan shards OR x# of sig stones and so on and so on and you then get a better chance at better rewards. 50% chance to get the lowest quantity of all of the items available 30% chance to get 2nd level quantity of all of the items available. 15% chance for 3rd level. 5% chance for top tier rewards.
This is why I miss the old Mcoc. More simple . It took more skill to obtain 5 star champs . Less content but more simple. After 6 star champs were added kabam has become more of a money scamming business. Adding more arenas , other playable content , I mean even now they charge 39.99 for a 5 star champ bundle. Kabam has become more greedy af. Once 7 star champs were added it became even worst. I saved up 13000k units since July. Trash rewards and all about the money now.
I feel like the post from TyEdge is fine about gap between whales and normal players. But there is something wrong: 1. Cyber Weekend event for the past 2 years has given whales a HUGE jump no questions asked. So that argument is not really valid. And besides, I knew there were whales the entire time, there are people who will indeed pay to win. So? I play the game to get good champs, that feeling of "Finally! I got this champ! Maybe needs to be awakened but hey! Almost there" and that kept us going in the game 2. We are getting outdated, and mind you VERY outdated champs this time round. Awesome we get 10 free 7* champs, but most are sub-par, great we get keys to get champs.... again most are sub-par. They are not going to get us through any content that Kabam has put out. What does that mean? The champs are useless for the content Kabam is making. We have to do Necropolis a LOT so why not throw 2 or 3 champs that can CLEARLY get us through Necropolis (like imagin a 7* abs man, Zeemo, Aegon, etc.) with the rest being those sub-par champs? That would motivate me to go and do it so I can get something that will make my run easier. Yes maybe they have to be high sig, but like my first post its (1 down just a few more to go) it keeps morale up and keeps people playing or paying (or both) 3. I agree drop rates are terrible. I don't know why I pushed to Valiant, if Paragon and thrownbreaker players literally get the same stuff. Like the "super" crystals maybe should only be available to Paragon and Valiant. Perhaps make drop rates better for Valiant players to motivate others to push through content while keeping valiant players happy. 4. If you look at it, the events would actually be super good, if they just tweaked things a bit. If we gamble money, make the prize worth much more than the money you use. Thats why casinos do well, you can get 10million in 1 try, or 100 tries. Kabam make it "you can win 100 dollars with 1 crystal, or 100 find out today!!"
when i was still cavalier, i bought the mr sinister bundle with my 30 tickets and then that one promo code that gave us the other free mr sinister allowed me to awaken him. I thought it was a mistake but he helped me push all the way from there to paragon just 2 days ago and i cant say i have any regrets, especially considering how bad its going rn with the event.
I’m 100% FTP and I grinded all year just for this spent 1000s of units and got nothing to show for it. Gold and T6 catalysts shards and ISO so disappointing and feel very underwhelmed
Solution: you can’t give back what was already spend. But as you said, lower the needed points. Guarantee a 7* or something of same value after the first 10 crystals. My biggest problem was after the entire event I was barely able to take my onslaught to r3 from r2. As unfair it would be to those that didn’t spend as much as others a gift of rankup material that would get you more than half way to just 1 more r3 would help a ton of those that feel shorted.
Lagacy goated for telling it how it is. The playerbase are pissed that they saved for MONTHS and got shafted. Kabam do not care since they are making generational money regardless
I was very disappointed with this “ Grand “ banquet event. Me personally I don’t really have an issue with the t6 catalyst because I hardly have any. But just because I don’t have a problem with getting this doesn’t mean this is the only thing I want. And the milestones are just too expensive to make up for the crystals. I was only able to spend 10k units and I got hardly anything noticeable from the milestones. Mostly every decent or good item cost 15-30k units. So me personally to fixed this kabam should lower the amount of units you need to contribute to get the milestones. And/or they should send a compensation of 3k+ plus units or a care package like lags said. But if kabam does decided they want to fix things I hope they don’t change the crystals because I would be so mad that I spent all my units and a sucky crystal.

100% they are 300 unit daily crystals
Had better luck last year as an uncollected and better stuff lmfao
No I had better luck with the daily crystals than those sbc
Bro I opened a daily valiant crystal 1 day before the banquet and got 5000 7* shards from it. Then I opened 100+ banquet crystals and the highest reward i got is 3500 7* shards… LOL..
crashed really said they'll address the issue we have about the event AFTER it ends lmao

@@laurcen lol
They did that same thing last year. Gave a Mea Culpa, sorry we weren't in tune with the community blah blah blah.
Hopefully they’ll just give us rebuffed crystals and not take away what we got already, because they do this every year
Doing it post event is typical. Maybe a 10 stack of crystals & 7* shards....
As a ftp player this event pissed me off I grinded out 5k units for this event to try to have a good time since kabam said it would be great, then I figured out that I need 15k units just to max out milestones and on top of that out of the 35 crystals I opened I only got 1.5k seven star shards, some tier 5 cc, and I didn’t even form one t6 from all of this, I’m honestly outraged and wished I spent my units completing the necro carinas, not this excuse for an event
I got great rewards from my sbc crystals with 4k units
Got over 7 7*s
Bro at least u got some 7 star shards. I opened 40 SBC not a single 7 star shard only class catalyst fragments. I am beyond pissed rn
I managed a lot more shards than that and have opened 7* crystals with just 10 SBC, that's some tough luck
That's why it's never worth it to wait for the banquet. I used my units on cyberweekend and got 4 new rank 3s as a f2p.. Can't be happier than that. Crazy how 15k units during the banquet only give you 1, maybe 2 new rank 3s
Kinda crazy how the guy who said the rewards were gonna be shit was right..and crashed was trying to shut him down.

Lmao the comment section here compared to the forum is so different 😂 on the forum there’s a lot of dick riding ngl
literally, and the fact he brought out that he got the best champion in the key pool, when the rest of us are stuck with purgatory or sentry. or even worse bpcw after his horrendous "buff".
this is absolutely insane to come out of a ceo's mouth
less unit requirements for the realm event would have made it way better imo 15k is so much and they should have way more crystals not shards
It needed much more than that to make this better the Sbc ratios should have been lower. Over 100 opened and now all I have is a lot of gold and a lot of stuff in my overflow that I’ll have to sell to get more gold.

KABAM after milking us and making us waste our units 🙏🙏🙏🤑🤑🤑
I’m a ftp opened 150 SBC and I couldn’t even form a full titan crystal. An entire year of grinding arenas for nothing.
Fr
If you were able to fully form a Titan crystal you would've gotten one of the weaker champ's anyway.
@xLUMINOUSx for real. 100% true. This is an abomination this year. Couldn't have strategically planned for it to be worse than ever before. Kabam does this shit wayyy too often to claim they're "possibly not as in touch with the community as they should have been planning this". Crashes statements literally make it 10× worse. Why are these scumbags such greedy, soulless assholes. Boggles the mind. If they just had good deals and decent drops they would make MORE money than thinking the community will spend more trying to compensate for Kabams massive failure. What a terrible joke.
So I worked from 8 to 4 today and I told myself, I'm not going to ruin the surprise of the banquet event by watching videos on it, I have 14k units and it'll probably get more by completing milestones. So after I got off work I drove home, sat down, and after completing milestones and exchanging the banquet tokens. Opened 66 SBC, I had been saving units all year long when I had a chance when I wasn't working on college or working. When I say my heart dropped, I mean it hit rock bottom and shattered. Crystal after crystal just T6CC shards. Barely any 7*shards or titan shards, the only good thing is I somehow was able to dupe my shocker finally. Milestones gave us what I thought should be in the crystals. What really gets me is the disconnect from kabam to their players. There are whales and they encourage the whales. If not why are there rank rewards for opening the most Banquet crystals. Normal players aren't going to get that. After I opened youtube and saw that my case wasn't similar except for the whales that put videos up showing that they opened 400 SBC's. So kabam, if you think that there aren't whales, take away the rank rewards for opening banquet crystals. There are whales and I am fine with them. But don't take away the quality of the SBC's because you don't want a big gap between the whales and the regular players, the whales have been here for years, you have always encouraged them. And since you encourage them, that's what makes regular players save their units for a year, for this event specifically. So that they can get a tiny taste of what it means to have a big event. If you show the regular players that it does matter if you spend a whole bunch unless you spend thousands and opens hundreds of SBC's for the rank rewards, regular players are going to recognize that it doesn't matter if they save up for a whole year. I regret spending all my units for there crystals, I feel like the hype was overinflated and that I missed out on cyberweekend deals. I'm very disappointed with this event. This doesn't feel like part of the 10 year anniversary or even a banquet event. It feels like I spent units to continually do the daily event challenge.
So true man….😢
😢
16:02 “I’m having a blast with my new 7-star Medusa. Enjoy the holiday break everyone.”
THIS REALLY PISSED ME OFF, LIKE WHAT THE FUCK????
Because of that drop rate I could get ANY of the gifted guardians champions and he is smudging it on my face like he doesn’t care.
And then he tells me to enjoy the holiday break? What in the actual fuck is this????
yeah me too. I would be happy with my medusa, xpool, purg, or sentry too but It turns out that its not even a selector dispite how it looks. I also watched all the live streams and completely thought we were going to be able to pick who we wanted after paying to unlock that. I mean, they are OLD champs I didn't think my pick of the 5 was asking too much.
I used 4k units got deadpool x and sentinel and a nefaria with a 7* selector
@ yeah…
I remember him saying that the crystal wasnt much filler this time ? lmao, last year when i was thronebreaker i opened the basic banquets and got me a 6 star weapon x and bunch of rank up material, this year i got nothing as a valiant, and that line about medusa at the end ? tone deaf.
they have been buffed tho they’re not just OLD champs
I opened over 16k units worth of crystals. They yielded about 5k units worth of items. That 5k is generous. I feel completely ripped off.
Could you imagine an in game offer for 5700 t6cc fragments for 300 units? How many people would buy it? That's what the majority of the SBC's are dropping. That's the disconnect that Kabam doesn't see. It's not that there are crystals like this in the event, it's that a large percentage of the crystals are like this.
16k 😮 did u farmed it ??
Anyways all ur hard work is flushed straight away by Kascam
@SaswatDev Yes I farmed it through arena grinding.
There is even 500 7* shards in it….
Completely garbage.
@@Brei. Yup
Those SBCs were a total disappointment.

This event is severely lacking in champion acquisition and is heavily focused on rank up materials that we already have.
THIS!! I remember getting multiple six star nexus last year as a thornebreaker in the crystals and it was so fun! But now I get none out of the crystals
Fr, one of my accounts is literally exploding in cats, and I don't have enough to rank my champions!!!
Let me completely dismantle Crashed’s statement about trying to mitigate the account power separation of whales and guppies… the diminishing size of the ranked rewards from the whales to even the 1-5%. This event was nothing short of the rich get richer, not by the crystals, but by the ranked rewards. The top 10 are catapulting over a year of progress ahead of the rest. While they bathe in rank 4 material, we could have caught up in a fun way by champion acquisition via tons more shards. There’s so many champs in the game, wtf is the problem with the shard stinginess.
I think what mistake they made is combining rewards for TB to Valiant
Yeah that's definitely the biggest mistake. They don't want TB getting a bunch of r3 materials. Solution? Split valiant and TB apart so they won't. Them combining it is absolutely braindead.
And paragon. Valiant needs to have their own crystals away from paragon and thronebreaker
To be that out of touch to think you can make a TB quality crystal and give it to Valiant players is a complete and absolute joke. Whatever idiot thought that was a good idea needs to literally lose their job.
1) Why did kabam hype this event knowing fully it is trash
2) why bump the unit cost and reduce the number of units they give back in the event itself
3) where tf is the christmas calender
4) why call it SBC'S when they should have been called MIDBC'S.
5) most important point of them all is if they really care about the negetive feedback
Yeah I was expecting a couple thousand units back though milestones and I got like 850. I can literally get that many units from one arena milestones grinding session

No yall don’t deserve it
That would be fair tbh.
People are spending too much for trash rewards
God even a normal nexus or a banquet key or two would cut it

-40 million gold
-4 7* crystals
-10,000 titan shards
-1 t4a
-and a handful of CC to add to your inventory
YOU WOULD DIE LAUGHING AT IT AND NEVER CONSIDER BUYING IT. THAT IS WHAT MY $800 in banquet crystals yielded.
A JOKE!!!
I said this on Reddit and I'm sure you're going to say this in the video but I wouldn't be so disappointed in the SBC if this wasn't hyped up as the Grand banquet. Milestone rewards were fine, Realm event rewards are good (if we get Isophyne) but the crystals were just a let down .
Yeah I’ve said this too and 100% agree. They hyped it up like craaaaazy. I was expecting a Titan crystal in the solo milestones. And we got zero shards even 😂
@JO-ji4bb I was expecting a 2-3 gem and also a titan. I opened 74 crystals and my highlight was 19k 7* shards. Granted all the 7*s I did put were all bangers (werewolf, warlock, Juggs dupes and a double Adam plus Purg) but I expected more than just regular 7* crystals.
How are the milestones good if you need to spend thousands of dollars for the possibility to get to them? Come on bro, that's just ludicrous.

But I decided not to because Kabam released the details of how bad Banquet was going to be before the event started. So I opened crystals until I got the She-Hulk Piece and stopped. Had 5.4k units to spend on revives for Necropolis CC’s. I just completed 2 challenges tonight, Dimentional Beings (without Chavez), and Gods challenge. I’m now 3/5 challenges done because I decided not to still open crystals even after Kabam released the details for how trash they are. It sucks that people still spent their units though. Just glad it wasn’t me. Kabam shafted EVERYONE. It was to be expected.
I dropped around 8K units myself just to put in a bit of work for the Alliance Event, but I gotta say that I am very underwhelmed this year.
Got us all hyped for the SUPERIOR Banquet Crystal and it's super mid at best, lol.
Lags hit it on the head. There’s a balance in the game that they need to keep. Hindsight is 20/20 but honestly going a bit “overboard” for your 10yr anniversary would justify stepping back in next years spring event. All they have to to do is have some level of transparency
Kabam is lying about wanting to minimise the gap between whales and regular players. Whales are already at the stage of having full r3 BGs decks and war setups so adding better drop amounts for t6cc, removing t5cc and the ½ drops for t3a/t6b would not aid them at all in getting r4 because those aren't the bottleneck.
Whales also have every meta champ so they value shards and champ selectors much less than regular players, so there's no reason to have such crap drop amounts and drop rates for 7 star, titans and champ selectors because again, whales don't benefit much from these but regular players do
The main bottleneck for whales is t7b which could be kept as is if the rest of the crystal were buffed for regular players.
So no, their argument of doing this "for the sake of regular players" is not the real reason. And because they are smart enough to realise all of this anyway, my bet is that it's just kascam at work again and they don't want to admit it, but it's clear as day to everyone.
They don't even need to add more t4a for all the people who keep saying "what about everyone getting too many r3s and accelerating the game pace" notice how i didn't mention t4a once above because i think it's in a healthy spot right now in terms of it's availability so i actually don't mind the drop rates and amounts in the SBC
Also also, i find it funny that they're so worried about the crystals being too good for whales who will buy a lot of them, but have no concern about the high rank rewards for whales who are gonna walk away with multiple r4 champs 😂
They are hypocrite
They shouldn't have added valiant players to this pool.
Link wtf why we pushed to valiant to get same thing we get in Tb and paragon?
Valiant should be different.
I agree valiant players deserve better, but I feel like paragon players as well deserve better rewards than TB. TB should straight up be excluded from paragon and valiant rewards as the gap between TB and paragon is quite large and valiants completely eclipse TB players. Also most paragon players need better rank up rewards so that they can actually hit valiant. In fact the best solution imo would've been progression based crystals for TB+ in which TB gets crystals catered to them, paragons get crystals catered to them and valiants gets crystals catered to them.
@randomised7562nah paragon and thronebreakers are similar and belong in a group
The 15k personal unit requirement makes this event like a trap. And the horrible drop rates make it more trash.
The like illusive realm thing also like makes the trap even better because if you spend on solo you also get those rewards
Honestly I'm really down about it too. If you could choose the champ you got from the key I'd love the event alot more
Oh, itsy bitsy little thing... Have any of yall have actually seen the sig stones they give in the realm event? Because, for me they can ONLY be used on the 6 new 7*, mind you, how are you gonna dupe them? Who knows, but i got 40 sigs as paperweight in the meantime
This is what made me the most pissed/ confused. It either seems like somwhere there was supposed to be another awakening gem, or more keys. I have 55 sig stones and no way to awaken any of them 😂
My thoughts:
I spent a ton of units on this event on my main account (30k units) and I barely got anything. The milestones are pathetic and the crystals are awful.
To fix this, I think a “care package” like you said would be great. However I don’t think this would fix everything. This would leave the players that spent something like 1200 units unhappy with their rewards. I think a promo code based on story progression for everyone would be better. Also, in the GBCs, it should be progression based. TBs should not be getting the same rewards as a valiant whale.
Next- to make up for the trash event, I would say Kabam should add some sort of a Christmas calendar- something like the 10 7*s, but instead, something that is progression based, and includes very good rewards (7* r4 materials, 7* awakening gem shards, a lot of 7* sig stones, etc) for valiant players while tbs would get something like 7* shards, 7* titans, 7* rank 2 materials, etc.
My final suggestion would be to maybe add some sort of challenge valiant players can do to get certain rewards - kind of like Carina challenges, but instead spending units on GBCs, opening 7* crystals, etc. They could give good rewards for completing these objectives. This would kind of be like a milestone track, but better in my opinion.
I think Kabam really screwed this event up and it is going to leave a lot of people unhappy if it is not fixed. Someone I know spent 120k units on this event, just to get barely any rewards.
Completely agree
With all due to Kabam Crashed but his response was a cop put to avoid the disappointment from summoners tbh
Acting like this game doesn’t already massively favorite whales over F2P players 😂 What a joke response
@@JO-ji4bb yep
I think there is a clear problem with the cost of a 7* titan cristal
We are almost able to r4 7* and the titan are still as rare as in the first day they have been introduced. This is not normal.
With 6*, being able to purchase featured was possible by just getting a bit more 6* shards. With titan crystal, you need either to dupe 7* A LOT or to get the very very small amount of shards you can get from events. Either way, you have to wait such an incredible amount of time to get a titan, it's unbearrable.
I get that it must be more occasional to get a titan because newer champs are inside, but this is too much, especially after all this time, it's getting ridiculous.
This event show it well, with titan shards drop being so low with very low amount of them.
Yes there might be a very few people getting lucky with a good pool...
But for the mast majority of us, we could spend 30-40k units and just get 3-4k titan shards
This SHOULD NOT be possible, and the worst thing being that we may not even get a lot of regular 7* shards either.
Maybe i was scammed, but after using 45k units, i was not even able to open A SINGLE 7* crystal out of my banquet crystal drops...
The only crystal i could open was 2 from the milestones and that's it.
It is just infuriating that such low value prize such as 7* shards are so rare to get, especially in the "upgraded superior banquet crystal" that is, i remind, aimed at ranking up 7* champs specifically !
So, I’ve so far spent about 21k units on SBCs (PLUS the 10 from outpost store, milestones and accolades so far) …I have NOT received ANY titan shards or a fully formed 7* champ.
The only luck I’ve had so far was x1 box key, x1 trophy selector and x1 t4a. That’s it. Thinking about holding back my last 12k units for Necro, deathless pieces or future Everest events at this point to get the best milage out of my remaining units. After the first few sets of x10 SBCs, it all suddenly turned to crap and didn’t really improve since. I May drop for one last set of 10 towards the end of the event and if the pulls are crap again - that’s it, not one more unit on this event.
So much for “50% less filler”
Fr
They say that they moved the Valiant level rewards to the milestones( high level at that ) and not the crystals , so Kabaam thinks Valiant players are the same as TB players ?? or do valiant players get more units . Unit farm is literally the same for the TH , paragon and valiant players . So a free to play Valiant has the same value to Kabaam as a TB player , F no , F this shit . 10 years grand event more like 10 year dump shit. This should have been the best event for all of us whether F2p or spenders [fyi : of course the spenders should get more not saying equal rewards here ]. And Kabam need to not include Valiants with lower level player . We are valiants cause we did hard work , playing this game at that level is not easy and we are rewarded the same shit as TB players for the banquet crystals ( no shit to TB players but we are not the same ).
Just because we are valiant it doesn't mean we all are super rich in real life as well , Kabam says "We wanted to move more of the rewards to the milestones" yeah so do being valiant mean I need to now pay more ( real money ) as well to get valiant level rewards , or just get the TB level rewards and go home. At least be more considerate for your 10 year anniversary.
I opened 30+ crystals to get barely enough to rank up two champs R3 my kushala (fyi: I got zero t4a from the crystals zero , just a lot of t6cc [5700] fragments) and R2 crossbones for the necro challenge.
This was a disappointment , I am just sad now 🥹. Going to play some Marvel Rivals so that I can have some fun at least for today.
On a different note : We still dont have a Valiant EQ or SQ level technically , even the Paragon has lost its value . Kabam pays no value to that or if they will say they are working on that and release it when we get new progression like you are working on that at what speed ? the speed of an snail ?
and Not get me started on the Realm event solo requirements , Realm event is for the community , community who the top 5% ?
@@cyphergaming4580exactly, Paragon and Valiants get garbage rewards compared to new Thronebreakers and the Realm event milestones are so expensive that only the high spenders will even get "the valiant tier" rewards, what a fucking joke.
Also, sinister objectives to get SBC's should not have been taken into account when Kabam structured this event. Kabam deliberately reduced the amount of SBC's in the milestones and accolades event, and they took away the calendar. Those crystals were a bonus for completing objectives over the last 4 or so months. There should be another 10-15 crystals in milestones, calendar, and accolades. It's bs.
And they didn't count trading them as "buying" which for how much work went into them, it should
to me this is a whopping disasppointment, I spent around 12k units and the only noteworthy items i got, were a shocker from the selector, a titan crystal and a t4a. I know this is still better then most but i feel disgusting, 12k units is basically 4 odins, so for 4 odins i got a shokcer, one t4a and a single titan, if this was an offer in cyber we would've ransacked kabam hq.
typically the milestones is we see the guaranteed the value, but even the milestones are ass, idgaf about a 1-2 gem or 4 T6b. their should've been at least a 2-3 crystal in the solo milestones.
i don't know what kabam can do to improve community sentiment but something has to be done, because wtf is this event
additionally the really juicy rewards are all locked in the realm event, which is cool and all but most of us didn't have 15k units saved up considering last year we only needed 10k and kabam only released this info, a couple days before the banquet event
this means a good chunk of the community wont get access to the juicy realm event rewards, addiotanlly the actual realm event rewards arent even that crazy, the awakening gem we get is only for the 7 reworks and what if you don't get the champ you're looking for from those 7, then your stuck with a gem you don't want to use and your options are purgs or sentry. but its okay because you can buy more keys in an odin and them maybe you'll get the champ your interested in, KASCAM !
this was a massive rant, but i truly hope kabam can think of something to rectify the colossal mishap that is the "10 year, grand banquet"
It’s like they pushing out catalysts and stuff so people can reach valiant. It’s not gonna take long for a new progression title maybe ?
I spend about 32k units and got nothing
If it means anything, I redownloaded injustice mobile to play a bit after opening my banquet crystals 😂😂
Thank you for making this video. I spent all of my units (10,000 per account) and am waiting to open them with my son who is doing the same. After seeing all these opening, I’m no longer extremely excited to open them because my luck is bad enough the way it is, this makes it worse. There was so much hype and so much expectation for a 10 year anniversary event that I really think they missed the mark with this one. I need new good champs to progress, and I can’t do that with a hand full of shards. Come on Kabam. Make this Christmas and Anniversary worth remembering (in a good way).
The game has been successful on the market for 10 years now and is being celebrated with the loyal players😂 Unbelievable. You can't tell anyone that. Nevertheless, good luck to you and your son in opening the crystals. You'll need it🤕✌🏽
@ I’m sorry, I’m not quite understanding what you are saying. I just got some bad news about my uncle dying and now I can’t seem to think straight. I’ve been in the game for 10 years and I think you’re saying that us loyal players can’t say we are celebrating with them because the crystals aren’t celebration worthy? Sorry for not comprehending right now. :(
Kabam should compensate all the players with some superior banquet crystals with a thank you
I never understand people looking forward to the rng of banquet more than the guaranteed value of cyber weekend bundles. These crystals were crap, but my expectations were low.
Unfortunately, I still opened enough to qualify for the Isophyne dupe from the realm event, but it won’t be a surprise if we don’t get there because it just takes one 10-pop of crystals to realize how bad they are for ftp and low spenders.
Absolutely horrified by the response from kabam. The community is screaming out with disappointment and complaints but they are insisting we are wrong and they are right. 300 units for basically nothing is such a scam.
You know I’m not on a game team, but I feel like Kaba crash just kinda overlooked it of what everyone else is saying yeah the crystals have the resources to rank up a seven star, but only to rank two rank three is most nonexistent and then you have the almost no tier 7, and then the shards are have horrible drop rates no disrespected to the game team, but that’s just my look on it
I’m keeping it respectful as possible… out of all the things that happened this year, Kabam CANNOT mess up their 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY. But they did, and the sad reality is most likely, they aren’t going to compensate or even fix the issues with this event.
If the player count drops significantly, I wouldn’t be surprised due to what it seems to me (and maybe others) a lack of consideration and a players first mentality. Ex. Helldivers 2. That game was the perfect example of what happens if you fuck with the fans/ listen and consider them. Kabam and many of the long term players (myself included) want the longevity of this game to last hopefully another 10 years. With this behavior, that won’t happen
It’s crazy how lags has to say sorry for something he had nothing to do with. You deserve all the respect lags🎉
On Xmas day we should all get 7 star rank down tickets would be huge imo. In order to get valiant we had to R3 champs, some got class rank gems that forced them to rank champs they didn't want to or sometimes we rank champs hoping or thinking they'll be better and turn out to not be as useful or as good as expected. Giving us the option to rank down an r3 and rank up someone else would be super cool. As for the banquet event they need to make it right somehow and your suggestions would be solid
I definitely agree that there needs to be compensation for something like this. Not simply for the fact that this event is GARBAGE, but due to the fact that hundreds of summoners have invested THOUSANDS of units to get what is really just a wet fart of useless items. For 15k invested, I was at least hoping to walk away with 2 titan crystals, 10 7 star crystals, a significant amount of R3 material… and yet all I walked away with was 17k 7 star shards and a quarter of a titan crystal. That holiday gift better be a titan nexus or I’m done with this game. After 10 years this very well may be the final nail in the coffin for me.
Also, I loved Lags pointing out the hypocrisy of Crashes comments about not wanting to have a divide between pay to play and free to play. DUDE, your top ranked rewards are creating a HUMONGOUS gap between players. We are fine with this, as long as our investment as players who use units that we grind for free/spend small amounts on are rewarded accordingly.
Kabam Crash and the rest of the team are completely out of touch. I’ll be curious to see how Karate Mike and Dorky try and push the narrative that this event is actually good, considering they are Kabam employees. Don’t drink the kool-aid yall.
A few things I would like to see.
A promo code for 10-20 SBC with some units.(I just need units tbh lol)
Fix the drop rates.
Banquet is supposed to let us spend money and get ahead. We can’t get really get ahead when the drop rates are terrible. And even if whales get a bunch of crystals, it’s not like they will really get ahead. (Not to mention, free to play players, can grind all year, save up all the units, but can’t get anything good for what they saved all year long.)
I get mile stones are supposed to get us a lot of things. BUT we should’ve have to spend 15k-20k units to get absolutely EVERYTHING. Like look at the BG event, everyone had to do 5k as the bare minimum to get all the rewards. Why can’t it be the samething ? This is supposed to be the ten year anniversary, and we are supposed to get AMAZING stuff especially during Christmas.
I love what lags said
Since there is already a fully formed titan, there shouldn’t be 20k shards.
Not even 1k.
I barely hit valiant like two weeks ago. And I was hoping to at least get one maybe even two rank threes this event. I barely can get one.
I get what Crashed is saying but adding more 7* shards, titan shards and sig stones in the crystal will not create a bigger gap. The whales already have everything maxed out. Having better drop rate will actually decrease the gap in a way
It was great seeing my own comment in one of my fav RUclipsrs video you are truly the voice of our community Thanks Lags
I saved up 10k units and the best thing I got was a 7* Thanos, I mean the milestones are decent but I don't know if I would say worth it
You do realize some people want Thanos right? I opened over 90 of those crystals hoping to pull him.
@themaker2149 yeah but spending 10k units and having 29 crystals from tokens that's means I opened nearly 70 crystals and that's literally the only good thing I got
@@themaker2149 thanos is a throphy champ, he does nothing , cmon now
Honestly loved the vid Lags and completely agree with most of the community that this event falls significantly short of the mark. If I had to say what I would fix it’s the drop rates for better things. In events like this ppl don’t want to only have rank up resources. They need to either fix the crystals themselves or just flat out give ppl 7 star shards, Titan shards, nexus crystals if possible, more sig stones, more 7 star AG shards, more chances at keys and champ selectors. When you open 100 of these crystals or more and you can’t even open a few champion crystals or get awakenings or sig lvls up it really doesn’t matter if you have the rank up resources to bring up champs because you didn’t get anything new to help you. 🤷
And somehow the game got the best community award even though this shit happens every time
kabam sponsored it lmfao, it was 100% rigged
Kabam needed to make difference between valiant and lower tier accounts,this is worst event ever
This is really just sad. I feel like Kabam wanted this to be really special and it's just not it. This time I feel like the community is more dissapointed than outraged. We all wanted this to be special.
I saved up 10k in units and after spending 9k... felt pretty decent what I got out. I did get four or five new 7 star champions and was able to fully max out three 6 star champions that were already at rank 4. I feel like I made out well but this is 9k in units.
Kabam can salvage this debacle quite easily, just like the "Stark Foundation" bailed us out with the crystal opening realm event, just have Tony drop another donation and unlock some additional milestones, and they can gauge at the end with how many are locked, maybe drop the required contributions, etc.
If the idea is to not inflate whales, they already have everyone at r3. kabam could have added much more r3 mats into SBCs, which would be nearly useless for whales but incredibly valuable for us.
The 20 year Banquets gonna slap though.😂
This was a lot funnier than it should have been. 😂 👌
Game unfortunately won’t make it that long
And if Kabam wants to make the argument that this event can benefit lower players, it’s not even true. I’ve heard so many people in Cavalier Uncollected who pulled usable characters out of the nexus as well as the event just being fillers. GBCs and SBCs have an insane amount of catalyst fillers which are impossible to even gain off of without hard grinding or paying. The rewards just don’t fit, especially compared with Cyber Monday or the 10 day calendar, even. GBCs have a little over 1 in 3 chances of offering catalysts, which I don’t think has been ANYONE’S experience considering the overwhelming amount of negativity towards the crystals, and it definitely hasn’t been mine. So unless everyone got pretty unlucky, or someone’s lying about having less fillers. Man Kabam.
I can’t complain. I needed one T4 alpha to rank my second 7* to rank 3 for valiant, and this event gave me what I needed. Brought my Domino to rank 3!!! No complaints here.
Same here bro
Banquet benefits smaller accounts (such as yours). It doesn't benefit Valiant players at all. It doesn't make sense for TB to be getting the same rewards as Valiant.
I understand and respect your perspective
Good, honest stuff, Lag. Thanks for stimulating discussion in the community.
I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!🎄
As a free-to-play player, I managed to save up 67,000 units over the last six months for the banquet events. Kabam really hyped up the banquet over the past two months, and from my experience, when they build up something that much, it often leads to disappointment for players. So, I decided to shift my focus and save my units for Cyber Weekend, anticipating some great deals. I ended up spending 52,000 units during that event, and I’m glad I made that choice. If I hadn’t, I would definitely be feeling frustrated right now with this lackluster event.
I opened over 50 Crystals, and all I received was 20,000 7* shards and 2,000 Titan shards. I keep getting nothing but T5CC! Seriously, what is Kabam doing for the players?
@@__-kl7oxIt was just t5cc t6b and t3a
It is useless and I don’t even rank 6 stars to where I need t6b and t3a.
the only thing good from this banquet is the milestones and if u could get lucky lucky pulls, KABAM did bad
They could’ve done more for us this is the most important year for the community.. it suck’s they do this to us non stopppp
@ Yes, but two years ago, when you opened a GGC crystal at Christmas, it brought a sense of happiness, like unwrapping a surprise gift. You never knew what you would get, but it never let you down. Nowadays, though, it just feels a bit frustrating.
Damn you dodged a bullet there.
From the 10 crystals you get if you got the 7 star mr sinister bundle, I got ONE good pull, and it was 500 7 star awakening gem crystal. Every other crystal was T6 CC.
As for feedback, I got a couple ideas, for things they could add, and compensation.
For feedback: Obvious one first, increase the desirableness (word? idk) of the SBC. I opened 2 GBCs from the milestone, and it felt better than the SBCs because I got actual champion crystals. Next, lower the goddamn boundary for the realm event. To get even half of the rewards requires spending units (not buying the SBC offer in the store) worth approximately $200-$300. It's ridiculous. Some of us spent our units doing the necro challenges for those rewards. Third, add *something* else. Some sort of quest, or activity, or SOMETHING else players can do to earn rewards. Even if it takes like 100 hours of playing to do, players will do it. Not saying make it as good as the rewards people can pay for, just some other way to get rewards for the non-whales. Finally, ISO. ADD ISO TO THE REWARDS PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! Even if I get some cool champs, it doesn't mean shit IF I CAN'T LEVEL THEM UP!!! If you ended up getting every single one of the champs that you wanted out of this event, it would take a massive amount of iso to rank them up. Remember the poolies event, where people could get that one offer for selectors of the really big iso bricks? AND it was super cheap? Bring that back 1000%.
For compensation: Even if they do give out compensation, they're not gonna give out r4 mats, so that's out. My guess would be GG keys. Prolly a key, some 7* shards, a T6CC, and maybe some gold and 7* sig stones.
PS: Kind of shitty of Crashed to be like "Haha, Imma go enjoy my new medusa I spent $200 for, I'll see you after the holidays, get f*cked nerds!"
I’m pretty sure the realm event promotes whaling due to the minimum points for each milestone
The game is for whales. You're either whale or cannon fodder.
The hypocrisy is that in cyber weekend where actual money is spend- u don’t mind creating gaps among player types/classes. When it comes to unit based event - where everyone can grind and accumulate and participate- u think here this would create gaps! Ridiculous
Devils advocate. This is the “GRAND” Banquet
They added three 7* (1 nexus) to the milestones which is awesome. BUT they are pretty high up on on the scale (around 12-15k units) so it kind of defeats the purpose for those who are free to play who spent their very last 6,000 units on this event. I think a care package is a great idea. There should be a care package sent out for the holiday for each level of spending and it needs to be decent.
Rough Draft- care package (paragon +) (thronbreaker and below would likely have to be 7* shards in some amount)
1-1000 units- 10,000 7* shards
1000-3000 units- 7* crystal
3000-5000 units- 7* nexus
5000-7000 units- 1x 7* and 1x 7* nexus
7000-10,000 units- 1x 7* nexus and 1x titan crystal
10,000-13,000 units- 1x 7*nexus, 1x titan crystal, 1000 awakening shards
13,000 - 16,000 units- 1x 7* nexus, 1x titan crystal 2000 7* awakening shards
16,000+ units- 1x 7* nexus, 1x titan crystal, 5000 7* awakening shards
It would be an excellent gift to receive, but in terms of the overall market of the game it wouldn't move the needle too much or affect the overall character market or value in a super meaningful way. I say this because those who have the means or have saved 15,000k they would love another 7* and a titan nexus, but it wouldn't make a big impact or lower the value of the crystals. For those on the lower end that spent less it would be super helpful to get another 7*, but also wouldn't break the bank. And even if someone doesn't have a huge line up, but was able to save 15,000 units + they would get an increase to their lineup that is at least partially worth the time spent for saving. I also wanted to weight it a bit more value towards the lower end because the higher end players will already be receiving a lot. This way whales get a little something, but also those who spent less also get a nice reward.
Feel free to be honest if I am way off base here or if this is too much. I wanted it to be meaningful, but also not to break the games market currently. I am lucky enough to have the funds to spend and have a large lineup so I may be way off base. If so, I am fine with you letting me know it :) With the addition of the 7*s to the realm milestones, I doubt they will do this, but it is fun to dream :) Thanks!
Don't play MCOC much now. However, before quitting I had lots of units saved up, came back and opened my superior banquet crystals, didn't get crazy pulls but got enough for some milestones to rank up champs and get new 7*s. Now wanting to progress through the story and try out new characters
I wonder if Kabam bothered to give a shit about the community, they could send out some “Christmas comp” - but they won’t.
I urge everyone who sees this to not spend another dime on this Banqshit event
I’ve played for ten years. This is the worst(by faaaar) event since the nerfed Thor/DS/SW back in the 4* days. I put aside 16k units for trash. Kabam is a joke and the players old and new deserve sooo much better. We got screwed!
Bring back gwenpool goes to the movies event for 1 month straight. Update the awards for that event. 1 month appreciation calendar for everyone. For every 250 units spent on banquet crystals, send players a care package that is progression level. You are welcome Kabam community! Happy Holidays!!
Having a minimum to each Realm event milestone separates us from the whales!
I can slowly earn units in some content.
I have been playing this game since day 1, that means I'm playing this game for 10 years, and the Xmas event was always something for me to get hyped for... but this year I think it is what it is going to make me stop playing it for good. Kabam's awnser is just sad...
The thing i hated about this the most was there was no reward for spending money in the kabam online shop, the cyber weekend online shop was dope, I spent $600 and got some pretty good stuff that made me not regret it especially with how well placed the mile stones were making you want to spend more money, I spent around $600 today and to me it was a waste of money as far as I see it I'm done with this event huge let down especially compared with cyber weekend, $600 and cant even open a titan
Hey lags, I was the one how made the forum post that you went over. Thank you for elevating it to the community❤️
Joined an alliance to get the rewards a little after the event start but it says I won’t be in the alliance long enough to claim the rewards
The positivity and clear explanation in your videos just made me forget the event scam I felt last night..You are a gem Lagacy...
They should've been called Superior trash crystals smh!!!
It is extremely depressing...I would have spent on cyber weekend...I have 65 t6c and 58 t3a....but 3 t4a... absolutely unbelievable. I've been saving all year for this and all I have to look forward to is a bunch of expiring rank up mats that I will never use because they just gave us all t6c and t3a...I want to puke
I opened about 4x sbc bundle and a few left and right total estimated at 60/70 and got 2 full titans, 6 7* crystals and the rest trash t3a and t6cc
Great video man, I got lucky with my pulls thank goodness but my whole alliance is so bad and I feel awful.
I spent 10000 units and did get enough to take my 7 star to rank 3 it’s such a waste
My main issue isn't even with the Crystals necessarily. They're Crystals we all know what we signed up for. My issue is with the 15k units to hit all the milestones. If Kabam doesn't want a huge gap between top spenders and everyone else the answer seems obvious to me. Make it easier for everyone to hit all the milestones so everyone at least knows a bare minimum of what they're getting. That way whatever they get from the Crystals is a bonus. If you're going to use crystals as keys make all the locks easier to open. Am I crazy? That seems like common sense to me.
I feel like this event could be easily fixed too. Just lower the drop rates for some of the t6cc and other stuff like that, while also increasing the drop rates of titan crystal shards, 7* shards, and other rewards that give people champs and rank up materials for 7* r4’s and r3’s.
I bought 2 of the superior banquet crystals bundles on the 20th for 10 crystals each. Now today they upgraded both the offer to include a 7* banquet key and also milestone rewards in the store. I posted this on the forum as well cause had I known that I’d waited.
Weird thing about the crystals guys popping 10x gives u much better rewards than spinning from my testing
from spinning I got nothing but t6cc
but from popping got 2 nexus 7 stars, 1 key, 1 special champion selector, around 5/6k titan shards and 60k 7 star shards and when u combine it with the milesstones it's a very good deadl for 15-18k but still it is MASSIVELY RNG dependant so that sucks
Also I would like to point out that the disparity in expectations is 100% driven by Kabam. They have used the last three to four live streams beating every god damn drum they can find to hype this event. Period.
I feel this event is very good for thronebreaker and below Paragon and above we’re screwed I see a lot of comments saying that they hyped this event so much for this and I agree.
I'll be real, I get the frustrations with this event butt so far, I've had a blast.
I'm a ftp valiant player, saved around 3.5k units for banquet(could've been near 8k but I caved for cyber weekend T-T). Anyhow, I spent all my units and my first 10 pop gave me not only a banquet key but also gave me a 7* trophy champ selector which I gladly took thanos(I know vision is the better champ but I love the thought of owning a 7* thanos lol). Then was able to get tons of 7* shards which gave me extra sigs on my r3 attuma to help max him out at 200 and a new photon, along with titan shards which gave me a new 7* enchantress. This event also allowed me to r2 some 7* champs needed for the necro challenges which I was happy for. So far from the banquet keys, I got a 7* purgatory and sentinel so along with new deathless shehulk, my account blew up to where I now own more than 100 7* champs.
Overall, while I did have a good experience on the first day, I completely understand why people hate this event. The t5cc and t6cc drops were too frequent and should be axed with those high rates, completely atrocious if you ask me. I'm definitely not giving a penny to kabam for this event but I will try to grind as many units as possible to buy some more crystals to get some r3 materials.
As a new thronebreaker, w event. So far opened 10 ggc, and 10 sbc and got one key, a 6 star bullseye and a starky from a nexus, and a total of 5 new 7 stars, I previously only had 3. I also got a key which gave me Deadpool. From my other 7 star crystals I got domino, dust, and Chavez. So w’s for me.
So much to say about this year’s event!
Firstly, I am a valiant player but a very casual one and on that basis I personally am not too sad about the amount of t6cc I’ve picked up because for me and the time I put into would have taken me ages to pick up outside of this event BUT that’s my personal situation and rewards output for time input…that’s my choice and that’s the game I play, however, it’s obvious that a lot of people investing what I’d consider that mid range of units, around the 12k mark feel very differently!
Everyone, I’d say at this point, is in agreement that the drop rates in the SBC are diabolical and I thought they were meant to be free of filler rewards this year? How kabam can claim this yet have 30 drops in a crystal is absolute garbage and this (kabam crashed) is the main disconnect between how the game team sees this event and how disappointed summoners see it:
1000 titan shards and 1500 7* shards are filler and that can’t even be denied.
This could go on for ages so I’m just going to skip to my idea, which is, keep the incrementing rewards in groups of 4 (the 4 is important * see below*) but make them ALL worth while, for example:
7* shards - 5k, 10k, 15k, nexus
Titan - 5k, 10k, 15k, 20k
(Lags, I know you question the presence of 20k titan shards and a fully formed crystal but I get it - if it’s a current titan and you don’t want to open one you have no choice but 20k shards you can save for the future).
Ok, so now for the 4 part. All rewards are incremental in groups of 4 and the only drop rates are on selectors in the crystals, 4 levels of selector, for example:
(%) 40, 30, 20, 10
OR 50, 30, 15, 5
Something like that and that’s it! Out of those selectors we get to choose from the relevant increment of 4 which reward we want. 5% chance at a top tier selector and you get to choose a 7* nexus OR 20k titan shards OR x# of sig stones and so on and so on and you then get a better chance at better rewards.
50% chance to get the lowest quantity of all of the items available
30% chance to get 2nd level quantity of all of the items available.
15% chance for 3rd level.
5% chance for top tier rewards.
This is why I miss the old Mcoc. More simple . It took more skill to obtain 5 star champs . Less content but more simple. After 6 star champs were added kabam has become more of a money scamming business. Adding more arenas , other playable content , I mean even now they charge 39.99 for a 5 star champ bundle. Kabam has become more greedy af. Once 7 star champs were added it became even worst. I saved up 13000k units since July. Trash rewards and all about the money now.
I feel like the post from TyEdge is fine about gap between whales and normal players. But there is something wrong:
1. Cyber Weekend event for the past 2 years has given whales a HUGE jump no questions asked. So that argument is not really valid. And besides, I knew there were whales the entire time, there are people who will indeed pay to win. So? I play the game to get good champs, that feeling of "Finally! I got this champ! Maybe needs to be awakened but hey! Almost there" and that kept us going in the game
2. We are getting outdated, and mind you VERY outdated champs this time round. Awesome we get 10 free 7* champs, but most are sub-par, great we get keys to get champs.... again most are sub-par. They are not going to get us through any content that Kabam has put out. What does that mean? The champs are useless for the content Kabam is making. We have to do Necropolis a LOT so why not throw 2 or 3 champs that can CLEARLY get us through Necropolis (like imagin a 7* abs man, Zeemo, Aegon, etc.) with the rest being those sub-par champs? That would motivate me to go and do it so I can get something that will make my run easier. Yes maybe they have to be high sig, but like my first post its (1 down just a few more to go) it keeps morale up and keeps people playing or paying (or both)
3. I agree drop rates are terrible. I don't know why I pushed to Valiant, if Paragon and thrownbreaker players literally get the same stuff. Like the "super" crystals maybe should only be available to Paragon and Valiant. Perhaps make drop rates better for Valiant players to motivate others to push through content while keeping valiant players happy.
4. If you look at it, the events would actually be super good, if they just tweaked things a bit. If we gamble money, make the prize worth much more than the money you use. Thats why casinos do well, you can get 10million in 1 try, or 100 tries. Kabam make it "you can win 100 dollars with 1 crystal, or 100 find out today!!"
when i was still cavalier, i bought the mr sinister bundle with my 30 tickets and then that one promo code that gave us the other free mr sinister allowed me to awaken him. I thought it was a mistake but he helped me push all the way from there to paragon just 2 days ago and i cant say i have any regrets, especially considering how bad its going rn with the event.
I’m 100% FTP and I grinded all year just for this spent 1000s of units and got nothing to show for it. Gold and T6 catalysts shards and ISO so disappointing and feel very underwhelmed
Solution: you can’t give back what was already spend. But as you said, lower the needed points. Guarantee a 7* or something of same value after the first 10 crystals.
My biggest problem was after the entire event I was barely able to take my onslaught to r3 from r2. As unfair it would be to those that didn’t spend as much as others a gift of rankup material that would get you more than half way to just 1 more r3 would help a ton of those that feel shorted.
Lagacy goated for telling it how it is. The playerbase are pissed that they saved for MONTHS and got shafted. Kabam do not care since they are making generational money regardless
Kabam also gave out way fewer units as milestones than in previous years.
I was very disappointed with this “ Grand “ banquet event. Me personally I don’t really have an issue with the t6 catalyst because I hardly have any. But just because I don’t have a problem with getting this doesn’t mean this is the only thing I want. And the milestones are just too expensive to make up for the crystals. I was only able to spend 10k units and I got hardly anything noticeable from the milestones. Mostly every decent or good item cost 15-30k units. So me personally to fixed this kabam should lower the amount of units you need to contribute to get the milestones. And/or they should send a compensation of 3k+ plus units or a care package like lags said. But if kabam does decided they want to fix things I hope they don’t change the crystals because I would be so mad that I spent all my units and a sucky crystal.
