I’m not wasting the time to evaluate my nexus options for a situation I will not have which will lead to frustration over what could have been if the rewards for the content I completed were not so drastically altered. but I’ll tell you at a minimum I would’ve opened the class of the champion I used my generic gem on which is an option I do not and will not have and other’s now do.
choosing not to do something is by choice ofc, but when have we ever had rewards be changed of permanent content where players who didn't complete it by a certain date got less rewards ( apart from legends runs). So why would people feel the need to rush it when the content was designed to be the hardest content in game. Now we have this situation that again puts certain players at a disadvantage because maybe they haven't been blessed with the champions needed to 100% this content.
You’re failing to see the other side here.
There are two players, player A completed the Abyss, player B has yet to complete the Abyss.
Player A) Having all available information, foreseeable resources in front of him and based on the hand he was dealt from his 6* pulls makes decisions relating to his gems, stones and catalysts. 3 months after those decisions were made He gets the most powerful crystal ever released for content already completed. But that crystal’s Power is largely tied to and possibly dependent on resources he has already used.
Player
Player B has a choice and options Player A did not. This is so advantageous to Player B that the 15k shards Player A has from this is meaningless.
Sorry that the reasoning gets in the way of being able to pretend player B is disadvantaged.
Yes and by not completing the Abyss in the same time frame you didn’t get the same rewards, you got better rewards. This is not some minor reward adjustment, the abyss crystal is possibly the most powerful item ever released in the game. Again I’m willing to play the hand I’m dealt but it takes a special kind of person to say playing with a wild card isn’t an advantage to someone who can draw one random card to play against them.
I’m not denying others rewards, I’m pointing out that in spite of what you think you have a sizable advantage over those that received 15k shards at the cost of making informed decisions.
Obviously we'd rather Kabam leave in the 15k 6* shards with the new nexus 10 champ 6* crystal.
if Kabam really wants to remove 6* shard rewards (because they think they'll be giving too much), do it to content that hasn't been released yet so you can restrict access to that content to those who haven't 100% abyss yet.
Not the best example of options, but here are possible alternatives!
Leave the 15k 6* shards in the 100% abyss pool, and:
1) add the new 6* nexus into abyss reward. (Obviously the option the majority of players prefer)
2) make unlockable content everyone has to play after 100%ing abyss, to receive the new 6* nexus.
Or, remove the 15k 6* shards reward, and:
1) make content after completion of the abyss, but restricts those who have 100% abyss already from entering (where newer players can earn that 15k 6* shards)
2) restrict the next couple uncollected EQ (4 or 5) to only those who haven't 100% abyss yet.
3) create limited time content for those who haven't 100% abyss but is hard enough to reward 10k 6* shards.
I'm sure other people can think of better alternatives than just having newer players who haven't 100% abyss yet, be down 15k 6* shards in abyss rewards.
Sure, the current Kabam position favors the whales/long time grinders, but it leaves those who haven't 100% abyss yet feeling cheated.
The already 100% abyss people know which t5cc they have to pair with the new 6* nexus. Others currently don't have that luxury.
The way the Reward is designed into the content is that it triggers before the Cat. That's about it. They're manually sending them out to those that have completed it. Now we're debating that someone may have a more informed decision? There are absolutely no guarantees in the decisions we make. We make the best decisions we can given what's available to us, and make the most of those choices. That's true at day 1, and it's true at Abyss 100%. There's no promise you'll pull exactly what you want. There's no guarantee you'll get to use the Cat you pull on the Champ you get. There isn't even a guarantee the one you'll pull from the Nexus is something you'll think is worth the Cat. No content promises the symmetry of using everything you get on what you get from it, and MOST cases, what you get is best used if you sit on it and make more educated decisions later.
These Cats are rare, but it's not the ONLY source of them in the game, and it's not going to be all there is indefinitely. The decision is not that dire. Is it frustrating when you don't get something you can use right away? Sure. Patience isn't exactly a high commodity among Gamers. I just don't know where people decided that everything MUST line up. That's never been a given in this game.
And no I do not play my r3 champs in any content relative to me. They go through EQ and side events but they’re not doing anything my roster could do without them. wasp and NF go on D but never offer an appreciable impact on the outcome of a war where I’m largely going through the motions just trying to survive, they are not impacting my aw reward tier. Sunspot continually and endlessly warms the bench.
Why not send the nexus selector in mail after completion of abyss so people can claim it after opening the rank up materials. This would allow them to have a much better idea which class to choose based on the tier 5 class catalysts they ended up pulling.
Again, not sure if you’ll see this or if it has been suggested but I thought it would be a good compromise for those that have yet to complete abyss.
Keep the Abyss rewards same, just send this crystal to whoever does it 100%.
This keeps rewards & their order exactly the way it was for people who have not yet 100% Abyss when compared to people who have.
Again... There is no reason to remove the 15k shards. I could be wrong but when it comes to rewards I dont think this has ever been done.
One thing is for sure based on the reactions. It's virtually impossible to satisfy some people because they'll just hone in on the negative.
It’s not fair to either side, just like people being able to make more informed decisions, based on 10 champions of their choice, with their awakening gems and signature stones is not fair To those who were not aware that was an option for the same exact content completed. T5cc while being rng based is guaranteed to eventually come to you, however using an awakening gem and signature stones on 1 of 10 champions you get to pick is a one time affair many of those who know their t5cc have been denied. Being able to make that champion choice, with knowledge of awakening gems, also imparts many other avenues of progression over those who know their t5cc. Furthermore choosing a class based on available t5cc isn’t a long term play, the T5cc will come to you sooner than you being able to choose 1 of 10 champions from a specific class pool.
In a way it becomes fair in that each party to this is disadvantaged in one way or another. But making it so one party does not have any downsides to this deal is what would actually be unfair.
So please if you want to argue what is fair do not compare yourself to those who have been denied the choice and opportunity you are now afforded!!!!
