This whole fight is garbage

That's definitely not something they would've said. Spenders will always cruise ahead in anything where money is involved.

You have to beat your converted score. Tag changes can impact your overall score. If you did 4 bars with a 0 tag champ and 3 bars with a 3 tag champ, the 3 tag champ wins.

Coliseum is just BORING as hell.

Doing the same fight over and over again maybe is funny for Kabam's employees or content creators, but not for people with a life outside of the game or a family. By enforcing the completion of such milestones to be an active member of an alliance you're create a deeper fracture between casual and grinding players.

Not sure how good this will turn out to be. Sometimes I feel like wasting too much time and money on a video game.

There's your awakening gem everyone

not a huge coliseum fan, but it’s not hard to get 750k points at all

Updating the update:

This is the worst-case / best-case projection for the final banquet score. If the last three days look like the worst day ever, we end up around 6.96 billion. If the last three days look like Monday/Tuesday, we end up around 7.3 billion (the actual projection is 7,299,953,394, but my projections are not quite that accurate).

As of the last time I recorded data, four hours into day 12, we scored about 125 million points and closing in on milestone 50. We'll probably hit that in about 45 minutes. For comparison, we're about 10% ahead of the same time Monday, which itself was a pretty big day. So I will probably be revising my projections upward when I post them later tonight. Refining those estimates will be interesting, because the difference between the pessimistic estimate and the optimistic one is the difference between milestone 58 and milestone 64.

Breaking news::

The $50 SBC offer returned this morning. Are players actually buying it?

Apparently yes. This is the estimated rate we've been scoring points for the past five days. You can see the big burst of points starting at 10am Pacific on Monday (it corresponds to 240 hours in the chart above), and while that spike does drop off the entire day remained much higher than previous days. We ended Monday with about 354 million points, much higher than previous days. The question was would Tuesday drop off.

Well, as you can see in the first hour after the SBC offer released, points spiked upward again reaching about 42 million points per hour. So it seems (some) players were hungry for more crystals. Even if we assume all of them were purchased through the webstore (it is a slightly better deal, so more points less money) that's half a million dollars of crystals in an hour.

If Tuesday ends up being similar to Monday in terms of points scored (its very early, but the spike looks very similar to Monday) then we could shoot past milestone 53 by tomorrow morning and be in striking distance of milestone 59 by the end of the event. I'll probably update again later today when I see more data from today.
