Curious because you're choosing to not provide the hero opportunity until the final week - not week one. So obviously you don't really want everyone to have the same time or chance at 100% this whole thing. Timing it for the final week and forcing them to grind arena, I'm betting you're hoping a lot of people use energy to make sure they complete this.
“As part of the introduction of Act 6 and Cavalier, we will also be introducing more content that will help Summoners gain 5 and 6-Star Champions. Some of that content will include, Champion Challenges, several large meta-events and Event Quests as well as, the next iteration of Back Issues. Additionally, we are taking a look at Arenas to see if we can make 5-Star Champions more accessible.”
While the word massively is not used kabam mike did say several large meta events which I don’t think we’ve seen a lot of correct me I’m wrong They also said they were taking a look at arenas which they haven’t changed anything @DNA3000
1. Not only did they not use the word "massively" they did not say anything that remotely implied "massively" or anything like it. All that passage says is they will be introducing more content to help summoners gain 5* and 6* champs. And that statement is true, they did introduce events which contained 5* and 6* rewards, and also the next back issue.
2. They said they would look at arena. They did not say they would make changes in the immediate future.
In any event, implying Kabam said they were going to increase the availability of 5* and 6* champs to be far higher than they were immediately before 6.1 was released seems to be false, and their actions since then have been consistent with what they said they were going to do in the passage you specifically quote.
you just love writing paragraphs don't ya that doesn't make any sense kabam has stated that they have increased the availability of 5* and 6* shards before 6.1 so that everyone can get over the 4* ban and the class gates in act 6. i know you like to defend kabam just for the sake of it but outside of bounty and last month's eq rewards increase (long overdue) pls tell me where did they increase the so called availability of these shards. also they didn't even buff rewards in uc eq.

I don't recall them ever stating they would increase the 5* and 6* Rewards so that everyone could get over the "ban". That would be completely counter--intuitive to the purpose of progress gates. The point is that not everyone will get through them. Certainly not without sufficient progress. What they stated was that they were more available, and that they would continue to increase availability in the future. What's commonly misunderstood with comments like that, is the fact that it doesn't mean they're going to add copious amounts so that everyone will have what they need organically. They're available at the points and by the means that are appropriate. Meaning, at progress levels appropriate for those Rewards, and through content that is appropriate for them. People may be in a rush to get there, but increased availability doesn't mean it's going to rain 6*s.

Variant came. They mentioned Champion Challenges so perhaps that's an indicator we may see one sometime soon. Perhaps with this upcoming EQ. I honestly don't know. The year isn't over either. We don't know what else is on the hroizon yet. Let's also remember the final member of the Fantastic Four has yet to be released. I would surmise when they release Mr Fantastic, a larger scale event will coincide with such. After all, the F4 will finally be whole!
Overall, 5* shards have been increasing in availability. They're launching a 3 month login Calendar for Summoner Appreciation. They'll be updating AW rewards next Season. They just increased the rewards for the lower difficulties of the EQ. We get a small amount for the basic login Calendar every month now. There was a BUNCH found from the Negative Zone Missions. Also, the Rifts had 'potential' to get a decent amount (lucked out and landed 5k in 5* shards from an Epic Rift).
6* shards are still relatively rare, but slowly increasing in availability. Not as fast as many would like (myself included) but they are slowly becoming more available. As someone else mentioned, they're about as available as 5* shards once were awhile back. It's the natural progression of things. Let's also note, the introduction of the Cavalier Crystals. Those are yet another way they've increased the availability of 5 and 6* champions. Granted, not guaranteed, but the possibility.
Now, it's also worth noting nowhere in that paragraph are 5 and 6* shards mentioned. Not. Once. They stated the champions themselves. Everyone is ASSUMING they mean shards, and why not? Shards make crystals to get champs. Just the same, I'm almost 100% positive they purposefully didn't say shards as the main increase in availability has been from the Cavalier Crystals. At least as of late. Also, again, the year ain't over yet, and there's still much to come. So, as much as we'd all love to see things increase in availability much faster... just gotta roll with the punches, dish them out, win those fights, and earn what's available until then.
@Kabam Miike nice content here....but i am eagerly waiting for champion clash its been a long time since we had one of those...i think the last one was captain marvel, do we have any incoming champion clash event i love those...and i think everybody loves it...!
I'd say the rewards look to be reasonably good. Yes, it's not 'fall out of your chair' level amazing rewards, but I think that if Kabam properly balances the difficulty of the quests, it'll be a pretty dang good event.
And because I can't see it in this forum post yet... is the difficulty planned to be similar to the relevant monthly event quests? I mean I can wait for the event to come out, but it'd be nice to know beforehand...

April had that deadpool event. That was called a boss rush. I feel like wwe due in july or august
I wouldn’t really consider that a boss rush event was more a joke quest
With the introduction of the Cavalier progression point, and recent Events in the Battlerealm, 5 and 6-Star Champions are more accessible than ever, and will continue to become more accessible.
Man some people are never pleased. What did you guys expect? 10k 6* shards for a side quest? I'm happy with any additional way to get t5b, t2a, and shards
Yes. Yes they did... they expect variant rewards for a fraction of the difficulty and time needed. Thats nothing new. The thing about those people complaining is that they are crazy spoiled. Since they got something once they want better the next time. Its extremely annoying. And some people on here wonder why kabam "never listens" to them. Its because of **** like this, why is it so difficult to just take something for what it is. Dont like it dont play it. And yes as usual most will probably hate on guys like us speaking the truth
Yes but kabam has constantly remarked that they have massively increased the amount of 5* and 6* shards since 6:1 and to be honest it’s yet to be seen I don’t mind if they make it difficult but right now the amount doesn’t seem to have changed unless you count cavalier crystals
They never said massively. In addition they have increased the amount of shard. You use to rarely get 6*s or they would be a lower number, now they are consistently offering 1k or higher. The same with 5*s. Just because they are not giving you a free 5* or 6* a month does not make their statement wrong.

Since that announcement weve had a few (bounty things were huge)
RNG rifts gave me 2 feature 5 star crystals in a single month(30k shards I wouldnt have had) So they are sticking to that imo
Rifts were not huge I got absolutely nothing I’ve done 6 and gotten 1k 5* shards 500 6* shards and 5 mutant and tech stones about to do a 7th so maybe that’ll be better but I’ll agree the bounty missions were amazing
Ao you are not comparing events, but what RNG gave you, not as a whole. Rifts gave giant rewards, you may have not gotten any, but that does not change how huge they were. It is not all about you. I told you in the other thread, you want static, you are not going to get rift caliber rewards on startic very often.

Where did I ever say I wanted a free 6* every month I don’t care if they make insanely difficult content but at least give us a way to get more
@Kabam Miike@Kabam Zibiit@Kabam Vydious why are you guys so fixed on putting these weekly gates? I like to move at my own pace without these restrictions. What’s up with that?

This is a game for the long run if you havent noticed. The usual suspects come here for every event announced to complain about the rewards. The rewards are just fine as long as the difficulty is arouns equal to its respected EQ difficulty. And until we know exactly that for sure there is no reason to complain. This happens every time and its not like they are going to change them so just deal with it and get to the grind
Ye I’m not complaining about difficulty and to be honest the rewards are probably on par with said difficulty I think kabam just needs to add more ways to get extra 5* and 6* shards even it means adding another tier of difficulty
With the introduction of the Cavalier progression point, and recent Events in the Battlerealm, 5 and 6-Star Champions are more accessible than ever, and will continue to become more accessible.
Thank you for this—the operative part is “more accessible than ever, and will continue to become more accessible.”
Surely, part of this increased accessibility is the opportunity to spend resources (real and/or in game) for a chance at 5/6* champs. Presumably, that’s what’s meant by “introduction of the Cavalier progression point” (I suppose the addition of shards in the Cav daily is part of this, but that’s such a negligible chance I don’t believe it deserves any weight).
But I think three main reasons for the disillusionment with that “accessibility” statement are (1) the fact that EQ rewards continue to remain relatively static, (2) nothing to my knowledge has been done to increase accessibility via arena, and (3) some other rewards haven’t seen a significant uptick (AW, for example). Sure, Special Events help, but their yields tend to be variable and sporadic and may not even be shards or champ crystals.
Cast all of that into the context of Rarity Gates plus continued dilution of the champ pool (unless you spent real $ on a slightly less-diluted class specific 5* deal) and it’s easy to understand why players don’t embrace the “accessibility” promise.
Technically, it is true, but technicalities aren’t the stuff of inspiration. Hence the disillusionment.
Both give a legendary crystal Both give a full 5*, or at least the value in shards GGTTM gave 7300 more 5* shards This event gives 1k 6* shares GGTTM gave 15 cinematic crystals that should not be valuable since it was a rare chance at a 4*, as well as 2500 4* shards This event gives a ton of rank up materials
If you think GGTTM was better rewards I don’t know what to tell you, because objectively this event is vastly superior. I will take 1k 6* shards over 7200 5* shards any day, plus the rank up.
@Kabam Miike correct me if I’m wrong, but I see it nearly impossible for a beginner to defeat all of these characters 50 times in one week. They aren’t even available to fight at that stage, let alone are they going to have the time or energy for that. I think that defeating overall spiderverse champs 50 times is reasonable and should reward all of the champs as 2* characters. Of, just defeat them 10 times? Even an arena like gwenpool goes to the movies. I just think it will be really hard for beginners to clear this content, and if you’re not aiming it at them, you’re not really hitting the market with the horde of new played coming with spiderman. I think this way to gain champs should be reconsidered.
I mean I get that most people are still building up a solid roster and every crystal is another chance at something helpful, but with the pool as large as it is, the odds of an extra 5k shards drastically changing your account are quite low. Rank resources are a gaureenteed positive result that either let you rank a current champion or at the least stash until you pull someone worthwhile

Master Rewards
1x Legendary Cinematic Crystal
2.5x 4-Star Hero Crystals
7x Cinematic Crystals
Epic Rewards
1x 5-Star Cinematic Crystal
0.75x 5-Star Hero Crystal
9x Cinematic Crystals
So lets compare the 2
Both give a legendary crystal
Both give a full 5*, or at least the value in shards
GGTTM gave 7300 more 5* shards
This event gives 1k 6* shares
GGTTM gave 15 cinematic crystals that should not be valuable since it was a rare chance at a 4*, as well as 2500 4* shards
This event gives a ton of rank up materials
If you think GGTTM was better rewards I don’t know what to tell you, because objectively this event is vastly superior. I will take 1k 6* shards over 7200 5* shards any day, plus the rank up.
