These are quite disappointing. The amount of resources (units, high-ranked champions, effort, time, etc.) + skill required for Act 6 completion and exploration is significant and these rewards do not align. The only comparison we have is the Abyss which has far better rewards, requires far less skill, and requires a significantly smaller roster. I challenge Kabam to reevaluate these. Adding a t5cc, 6* awakening gem to completion, and two t5cc and a 6* generic awakening gem to exploration feels sufficient and fair.
They made Act 6 rewards far worse than Abyss which is hilarious since Abyss only requires a few specific champs and some units. Act 6 Exploration requires a TON of highly ranked counters to the many nodes and way more units, not to mention a shitload of energy.
The issue is that you can complete all this content and have a T5cc that is completely unusable until lord knows when. That is awful and downright spiteful to the community of players. Please fix this.
So I can work through and explore all of Act 6 and not guarantee any value for any one specific champion in my roster I've been working towards for over a year. Still mostly all garbage random... I didn't expect to be this dissappointed with the rewards considering the scale and difficulty of all of Act 6 (especially 6.2 as a whole dumpster fire release of content). Well I don't know if I invest time/ressources in completiong Abyss of Exploring Act 6... Or maybe this is just the sign that I should probably quit and move onto another more rewarding game? And that's a serious statement, I really have no excitement or drive to invest that much time/effort/frustration to get any of these "END GAME REWARDS".. sad day for the game in my opinion...
My advice to people would be to focus on Abyss and save this for later. Honestly the Abyss is easier with much better rewards and can be completed 1 path a month with free units. With that said I was going to try for first 100 but I think I'm just going to go at my own pace as a random r3 isn't that exciting.
... Approximately 90 Energy for Quest Completion Approximately 540 Energy for Quest Mastery
Approximately 66 Energy for Quest Completion Approximately 396 Energy for Quest Mastery
I don't get this, why is it "approximately"? The # of nodes are known, so, shouldn't that be exactly? Or, are you saying some paths are shorter than other paths, and the average is what is listed?
To a certain degree I get that people would complain regardless of the rewards but it is really tough to swallow that completion gives no AG or t5CC at all.
Random AG and some % of a t5cc for completion of Act 6 (not just 6.4) doesn't seem too ground breaking especially for the effort involved.
People are going to have completed Act 6 and look at what they received and none of it will really be account changing.
When you completed act 5 you were at least closer to a r5 with the t5b at that stage of the game. You can't even get two 6*s from completion, pretty nuts.
I don't understand why these rewards are still stuck in the 5* meta. Act 5 shifted the meta towards r5s all the way back in 2017. We are now in 2020 and Kabam are still saying the meta is not ready to be shifted to 6* r3s. Act 5 changed the game completely, act 6 just feels like an afterthought once it's done.
I will give credit where credit is due, and the fights have been 90% well designed and fun in act 6 (bar 6.2), but at the same time I am getting sick of these '90% attack reduction unless *insert effect here* is applied'. This time the effects (prowess and power sting) are so niche and we don't have any 6.3 style boosts to help out, I just don't think it's fair to justify such miserable rewards for exploration which even then can shaft you.
I'll be sticking around for cavalier eq but if that has the same lackluster feeling I think I may finally uninstall this game.
Kabam, you seriously dropped the ball with Act 6 rewards and I hope you review/revisit them. They are beyond mediocre and not at all worth the effort. Nothing in there is getting me excited to blast through and push for completion and/or exploration. Please reconsider updating the rewards. Thank you!
We will not be changing them. As we said with the earlier Chapters, we chose to spread more of the Rewards out over the Chapters, and put less emphasis on the Act rewards this time, so players could use them earlier.
I'm just so upset with these rewards after all the time and units I've used 100% up to act 6.4. Just think of all the players that explore the whole chapter, open their rewards, and get absolutely nothing that they can use to help progress their roster. I'll be honest if that happens to me I think that will be the end for me after playing for almost 5 years daily. Please re-think these rewards, especially the exploration ones.

I guess we missed where the extra rewards were sprinkled cause.....

That implies the chapter rewards are good. They are not.
Deep down I knew that the 25% crystals were a replacement for a full catalyst crystal, I just didn't want to believe it. But seeing none in the completion rewards confirmed my worst fears
Question: "At this point in our progression, who is really excited about a 5* rank up crystal?" Answer: "Absolutely no one." Now if that were bumped up to a 6* 2->3 rank up crystal, then now you have peaked my interest. Most folks have so many resources in overflow with no champs to rank up. This means that I will be holding off on doing completion for fear of having 10 t5b in overflow and no suitable rank up champions. I wish that completion contained a 6* awakening gem and one t5 class catalyst, exploration the 6* generic gem, two t5 class catalysts, and a 6* 2->3 rank up crystal. Let's make it happen Kabam. Thank you!
My dilemma... I always complete at least an initial run of content when it’s released, I also have nearly 3 t5b expiring. Do I run act 6 hoping I get good crystal pulls and run the risk of having 7 t5b in overflow.
I’m tired of biting my nails every time I work so hard for something in game. Random rewards is amazing for many, in fact most parts of the game. Act 6 is not one of them. It’s literally the hardest content in the game currently to 100%. To do all that & have a chance at a bunch of 3-stars is a joke. I seriously doubt any Kabam developer is doing Act 6 currently, because if they were, the rewards would be much better, guaranteed.
Many of my team have completed/explored all of Act 6 that is available right now, but they are also aware that we spread the rewards out for all of the Act Completion and Exploration.
This game is built on Randomness, and always has been. If you do not feel that the rewards worth your effort, you can come back and do this content at your Leisure at another time, but I implore you to look back at all of the rewards of Act 6 together, and not just what you'd get right now.
If a player is able to do act 6 chapter 4, I Guarantee They DON’T need a 5* rank 2-3 gem?? Especially for all their effort of chapter 2-4 , is there anyway y’all could change this to something else?

For exploration, the best reward yet should be at least a generic 6* Awakening Gem.

I bet I saw 2160 units before
