They didn't have to add all these new milestones, so complaining about it makes no sense

FIrst world whale problems. They arent geared towards you folk.

I don't want to act like a Kabam shill or whatever, but remember that we're talking about STRETCH milestones: in other words, anything after the Almighty Baldy Bros (registered trademark, fyi) is not to be taken for granted, by definition.

If you don't think they're worth it, simply don't spend any more units after the Kingpin/AbsMan selector or whatever milestone you find valuable. Unless you're not spending for the rank rewards, but then that's your focus, and the stretch milestone would be simply a bonus (i.e. better having them than nothing).

I don't get why complaining about that of all the things you could criticize about this event.

Anything beyond kingpin/absman are extra/bonus/stretch rewards.

Also, food for thought. We’re now entering the realm of milestones higher than what we scored last year. Of course, Kabam would probably hope the banquet this year would be more engaging, and thus score more points, but when these rewards were sketched out there was no way to know if, and how much, higher we would go. There’s a lot of good rewards between 4.2 and 5.2 billion, the high end of where we ended up in 2024. Kabam could have swapped up some of those rewards, put some of those rewards in milestones 34 through 37 and swapped the Titan shards down into the lower rewards, so there wasn’t this “lull” in the rewards above milestone 33 and 5.2 billion points.

But that would mean taking some of those juicy rewards and moving them to positions higher than we reached in 2024, which means there would be a possibility we would never reach them. By placing them lower and keeping the stretch of Titan shards higher, it was far more likely we would reach them, and also a significantly larger number of players would qualify for them. Milestone 33 requires 31200 points and milestone 37 requires 33120 points. Using 2024 as a guide, my guess is the difference between those two is about 2-3 thousand players in rank. In other words, there are a few thousand players out there that would be much happier with the current reward configuration compared to the one that paced these rewards out differently.

We’re going to hit all of these rewards either way. Given the current data, it’s all but guaranteed. So for those of us that have enough points to qualify for them, the order doesn’t really matter. For those of us that don’t have enough points to even reach these milestones, it also doesn’t matter. And for the players who are landing right in the middle of these milestones and for whom the order does matter a great deal, they are coming out ahead.

Nobody loses, some people win. I’d say we should try to keep some perspective here before getting too down on these milestones. Sometimes front loading can look disappointing when we pass the front loaded area. But we should keep in mind that front loading that looks boring to us is helping thousands of our fellow players, and hurting us not at all. Let a few more of them snag those rewards: we can take a short stretch of Titan shards while we wait for higher milestones. To me, the small price to some of us is worth it.

Yeah anyone acting like a 2025 selector with the Hearts of Fire champs in it isn’t going to be motivating for like 90% of the player base is just not in touch with reality. The Titan shards are just filler yes but I’m not turning down 10000 Titan shards. As a suggestion though, tossing in some tier 4 alpha as filler at some point would be appreciated. I currently have enough tier 7 to rank 4 multiple champs but am short tier 4 alpha. There’s always the radiance store and other stores, but I think the same way tier 6 and tier 3 was an issue last year, tier 4 is an issue this year

I can understand why Kabam is putting those Titan shards in there so as to not just blow there resource budget on this one event and have to accelerate progression earlier than they wanted to, but, if I’m honest, I’m a bit disappointed. It’s been really fun just watching how hard people are willing to go on this event and those milestones definitely feel like they’re going to take the wind out of the sails. We’ll see though, I have 46k points and I’d go deeper for sure if the rewards matched, but of course not for Titan shards. My hope is a 7 star trophy champ selector. I personally was really hoping for Weapon X this year.

@Seatin thank you for the Endorsement

Every game mode, and every node combination something always just works differently. Intercepts, parries, dex etc.

It is infuriating to try and keep up with you are absolutely correct.

In my pure honesty i would like to see 7 star limited edition selector atleast once so the unlucky people can get one chance to get a Selector which they weren't able to get during jubilant Crystals opening
