Best Of

I would have to say yes and no.

Did we win a battle? Yes as they are backtracking on a terrible, terrible idea that would have had really bad consequences on both the game and the players.
Have we won the war? No. The problem is that Kabam will continue to think this way going forward. How do I know? Because I’ve played for too long to think their goals and objectives will change.

This changes really no one’s mind about the eq situation.

This changes no one’s mind about the constant errors and fumbles.

This changes no one’s mind about the bugs and ai issues.
This hardly changes anyone’s mind to trust Kabam to do right by the playerbase. They only changed this because of the outrage and everyone speaking up.
There’s still so many more issues the game is suffering from. This is a small grain of sand on the beach.

A step in the right direction on a 150 story building. It's a start.

I've said as much elsewhere, may as well repeat it here.

This compensation package is, in a way, actually perfect. In a technical sense, it's quite literally the best and most direct compensation they could provide as it's overcorrecting and addressing the issue at hand. Zola wasn't in the crystal, people had a 0% chance of getting him; Kabam's response? Giving you Zola directly if you opt for it.

In that sense, the compensation is perfect - and I mean that genuinely.

In another sense, it's quite underwhelming and stops from being perfect because it appears to be limited to a single selector, regardless of how many crystals you opened or when you opened them.

As has been stated, in the past Kabam has issued a 1:1 compensation whenever incorrect crystals were purchased or when drop rates aren't what they have displayed. So … why is someone who opened twenty crystals getting the same as someone who opened one? Similarly, the petty part of me is wondering why people who opened crystals after they were corrected are getting compensated at all. They weren't affected.

I opened twelve Titans and a Nexus - had no desire for a Zola, technically I had better odds at getting the champion I did want and still failed. Is that the point? No. The point is that the crystals weren't as advertised - compensation should be 1:1.

Now, if Kabam were to offer this selector compensation as a 1:1? THAT would be amazing. If their thought or concern is "well we can't do that because it would effectively just be giving away a max sig Zola." … okay, but let's assume that the crystals WEREN'T broken. Then someone theoretically had a non-zero chance of getting a max sig Zola if they were to opening an equivalent number of crystals, correct?

Kabam Crashed, are you Crashing?

Kabam (Osuarus) Rex, are you Rexing?

It's just not good enough…All of it.

Making us do classic eq again..

This misery Scrooge level compensation..

The poor messaging..

Do better.. This is putting lipstick on a pig

Well this was not supposed to be a win anyway. Its barely a draw… just did 2 chaps of classic seems elder difficulty will be manageable.

That's my positive self talking

My passionate and dedicated side says its still hot garbage.

Yeah. Vampire and vampire hunter. One mystic and one skill.

I’d say Dracula is still a possibility for October if it’s mystic and skill. Besides, we only got one mystic champ this year (Nico Minoru), and there are usually more than one. Skill champ could be Black Knight or even a villain related to Blade. Deacon Frost?

I’d say November is when we may see Lizard based on recent clues, alongside another Spiderman villain

Hey man, this post was made on a weekend - well after this Quest was locked in.
I have said this many times, unfortunately, there isn't a magic "fix it immediately" button.

It was said right out of the gate that Classic is going to have to be run again due to tech limitations in relaunching the Quest; it was never said otherwise.

The baseline floor of the rewards have been increased, and should now be in line with what used to be obtainable for completing the previous Valiant EQs even if your prestige is on the lower side.
The Health & Attack values in Classic & Elder have all also been heavily decreased.
