You can exit and your entry is refunded, so you can keep retrying for a specific path. All it costs you is 2 energy each time

I would legitimately do ANYTHING besides AQ. This is a new mode. It sounds complicated because we’ve never done this before. How about we try it before making broad sweeping statements

Stop crying

Kabam is fair enough always

They did the right think

Go launch some sparks or fireworks

Edit= Thanks Kabam 🥳

Let's be honest about the good samaritan thing. When it comes to real exploits like creating a million twitch accounts to get the twtich drops a ton of times, sure, most of us would never do that because it's not the right thing to do, but when it comes this, the majority would.

I had the chance to pop pre-fix and didn't take it because I weighed the possibility of compensation being worse than it was, so I played it safe and waited for a fix. If I knew for sure that we'd get a 1:1 comp, I would have 100% opened them instantly, and I think everyone else would too. 99% of us who didn't pop when we had the chance weren't good samaritans for waiting, we played it the way we did out of self-interest.

We're salty that our crystal experience was the normal kind and not the crafty kind. This isn't new either. For years, if an offer ends up being bugged (especially those cav nexus crystal offers from 2021), players were incentivized to buy them quick so they can get free comp after.

I'd say it is a fact. They made the decision, posted it, then followed through with it, then commented that the concerns were brought to them and they still went through with it. Besides the reality that their comments are as close to fact as we can come on here, what more would you need to call something fact?

That is not a fact, and they didn't double down, they took the only solution possible.

That's as much a fact as saying that the best cure for a headache is decapitation.…

So here’s my unique situation. And I will admit this is a personal problem for me but I think it illustrates why this whole compensation was handled less fairly than possible.

I was on a plane at the time of the crystal change. I was fully expecting to open all of the 30 crystals I had saved up as soon as the clock turned. As fate would have it WiFi went down on the plane and was never restored. As soon as we landed I flipped to cell service and opened all of them. Had no idea I was about 15 minutes after the fiasco was fixed. So something beyond my control ultimately cost me double crystals.

The point of this whole story is that much like most of this game, randomness benefitted some and not others. If the goal of the compensation was to create an even playing field, this issue was not handled appropriately. If the goal is some people will always “out luck” others, mission accomplished.

You guys need to understand that this is a direction the game has been taking for quite a while. Not implying the error was intentional; but the solution fits within the direction of the game.

I do the same thing in my business when something goes wrong, I make it up and give a "gift certificate" for the next visit, lets call it a 50 dollar certificate or credit on the next visit. Does that mean I am giving them 50 dollars? Nope it means they get the satisfaction of thinking they get 50 bucks when I am most likely giving them 15 or 20 based on my cost.

Why am I comparing the crystal fiasco to my business? 7* crystals in near 2026 means squat, for them to give away 50 7* crystals means absolutely nothing, its even related to the charity progression titles. They gave free progression titles because no one in their right mind would whale out in Cav or TB bundles in 2025. They give this crystals because whoever gets them feels good and might spend to beef up their accounts now.

There is no money in 7* basic crystals so they don't care. They don't even care about the so called balance in the game enviroment.

I popped 50 after the fix. Here are some of the champs I got:

Zola

Omega Sentinel x2

Spiderham

OG Hulk

Domino x3

IDoom

Quicksilver

Juggernaut x2

Chavez

Sasquatch

Crossbones

Photon

Okoye x2

Omega Red

Knull

Moleman

BPCW

Cull

Dust

This is relatively an amazing batch of champs that a lot players would like. FYI, I already had most of these awakened but some weren't. Some were important dupes and others were solid prestige bumps. Plus it gave a lot of Titan shards. I hate using anecdotes but a free 20-50 7* crystals including nexus crystals aren't simply "nothing". They're sigs, potential account changers, and awakening gems.

I just saw someone pop 50 crystals.

Imagine thinking this is fair, only in Kabam-land. Not only have has my spending drastically tapered but I already knew I would never touch another Netmarble property. Now I know not to ever touch another Kabam project either.
