Anyone else think it’s shameful to have a rank 3 6* as a requirement to be Thronebreaker? I’m right there but you have to spend a lot of money or be in top tier alliance to get a rank 3

Well, first of all Thronebreaker is the highest progression tier that exists in the game, and its been only a couple months since it was released. Who do you expect such a progression tier to target? The highest progression players, however they got there, are in fact ranking r3s now. Everyone in the target audience for Thronebreaker either have r3s or could rank one up for the title without any difficulty.

There's nothing shameful about that. If you aren't in that target group yet, but just outside it, you'll get there eventually. T5CC is getting easier to get all the time. Cavalier players who are just getting all the free to play sources of T5CC will almost certainly have their first rank 3 sometime in 2021 if not sooner.

As to what the Thronebreaker offers will likely contain, I think it is fair to say that the Thronebreaker offers will focus on 6* champions, 6* rank up resources, and that will almost certainly include T5CC or r3 rank up materials of some kind.

I can also anticipate the complaint. Thronebreakers will be getting the very resource non-Thronebreakers need to become Thronebreaker, namely T5CC. But that's the point. Those resources should be very hard to obtain until you reach a point in the game where you've demonstrated you can earn them and put them to use, whereupon the game's reward system shifts to making it easier to get so you can make more progress. That's how progression games work.

I have plenty of r3 options but don’t have the right champs to do abyss just yet and can’t do act 6 completion because it’s so grueling and again not the right champs rng to me
If they make money based offers different due to a r3 6* - that’s gonna rub a lot of people wrong
It’s money that gives different rewards
The money value is the same but because someone’s willing to spend to finish abyss they get way better in game rewards
It’s a way to push people to finish other content (aka spend money) to then get more when spending money
You aren’t gonna convince anyway you’re correct dude

I'm sorry but what you just stated, literally supports the argument that you're not ready for thronebreaker then. You dont have to accomplish everything immediately. I didnt jump on the abyss immediately. I studied the paths, the counters, and how to fight with what champs. Then grinded in the arena for months because I know the abyss takes revives. Now im thronebreaker because I put the effort in. You either got to do the same, put the effort in or buy the units to push through it.

I humbly disagree with you... look let’s be real here skill can only get you so far in this game other then that it’s rng/ luck neither of which I have on my side....I have explored act 6 and got a skill t5cc and I have 0 use for it atm....and I’ve been grinding units for three weeks now for cyber weekend and possibly for my first abyss run if I can’t get a R3 just from the cav offers... I will try and get lucky with the 2 six stars and t5cc but most likely won’t... the thronebreaker title isnt solely tied to putting in effort... I know dudes in my ally and outside of my ally who have only bought stuff and haven’t come close to exploring act 6 or starting abyss yet that have their first r3 before me even tho I’ve done far more content than them... my six star roster is terrible besides Two or three champs one of which needs an awakening(void) it all comes down to six star luck at the end of the day and I have 0 of it atm past 10 all been misses. Nobody can say my roster isn’t developed enough bc I have 24 max five stars and I could have more but I don’t have any I want to rank atm. <<img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029252/uploads/editor/mo/7vv6f3gk0ukz.png" alt="" />

You have Squirrel Girl.

Ya no if I ever was to even consider ranking her I’d need her awakened and sig 150+ and even then I most likely wouldn’t

Why? What's stopping you?
The game is a miserable slug if we're sitting around waiting for the "perfect" Rank Ups. This is what happens when God Tier culture becomes tenet. People don't look at anything but the "best". The great irony is, you Rank SOMETHING, then earn more Resources to build more on that. Sitting around waiting for an Aegon is no way to play and actually enjoy the game. I'd Rank her.

"God tier culture" lol

That's what it is essentially. There's a short list of Champs people will Rank, usually the highest on the list and the same that everyone else Ranks, and they will not consider any other options. Then they wonder why they're so hopelessly discontent with the majority of other Champs. They won't see the positives of anything they call worthless (the number I consider not very workable is much lower). They limit their choices to a small subset of Champions. What's worse is other Players place pressure to only Rank what falls under that short list. God Tier culture.
Would you prefer lemmings? I was trying to be less offensive.

I completely agree and to add to this... it cripples your game skill and knowledge of the game to do this.... someone posted that they can't do aol because rng didn't give them the horsemen.... well yeah the horsemen are the ideal counters but there are other champions that will counter those fights too... you just have to up your knowledge of ALL the characters in the game.... example while everyone was ranking starlord and deemed him the best awakened tech in the game a few years ago, I didnt, I awakened and ranked yondu because I knew that with him fights might take a little longer but he takes 0 damage from any special including special 3 if played right.... learn how to use the champions you have and thier full breath of limitations

Posting this again because it's getting lost.

Hey everybody,

So, we've never commented on this, because it's never been an intended reaction, and I cannot guarantee that it will always be this way, but if you change progression levels, you should receive the next tier of offers. While I can't guarantee it 100%, I am very confident in it.

Well is all good but you should me more clear about this information earlier, I was forced to r3 manthing just to become a throne breaker because it was said in the in game message that you wont change once the deals were here.
If I had know what you just posted, I would have waited to pull a better mystic or to get the other tcc 5 to lvl up a better champion.
Not cool in my book and now to be honest, I dont feel like buying the offers because I feel cheated.

So if on Friday it turns out that you can't upgrade to the next tier of deals, would you have the same response?

I did my rank up based on not being able to do so what do you think my response would be?

You say you were "forced" to do the rank up, but you weren't. You either want the highest deals or you don't.

Kabam stated even for the July deals that reaching the next title won't guarantee you a second set of deals while they're live, it's something that's been known for a long while, and mentioned in the last couple of days.

Had you have not done the rank up, and the TB deals turned out to be amazing, then I'm sure you would blame it on Kabam on not confirming that the unintentional bug was fixed.
They honestly can't win.

Bc it's not something you're supposed to be able to do in the first place let alone something you're entitled to or guaranteed to be able to do. Either make the rank up and live with it or take the chance. Both options are on you not them

Lame jokes aside, yeah: rank up if you want guaranteed TB deals, don't rank up if you wanna risk it and potentially (although unlikely at this stage) to be locked out of higher deals during weekend. the choice is yours and yours only to make based on the limited information we have

The deals aren't changing. The Thronebreaker deal will be the same on Monday as it is on Friday. The Cavalier deal will be the same on Monday as it is on Friday. If you progress from one title to the next higher title, the deals don't change. You do.

The wording they used in this upcoming Cyber weekend post is identical to the wording they used last year, to explain that the deals would not change. They said this because in the past, the deals did actually change: we got one deal on Friday, and then that deal went away and a completely different deal was offered on Monday. Last year that changed so that the offers were fixed throughout the entire weekend. The deals do not change. Which one you see depends on what progression tier you are.

If you don't feel like buying the offers, don't. But in my opinion no one was cheated into doing anything. First of all, you and you alone are responsible for your rank up decisions. Second, it isn't even Cyber weekend yet. No one has yet been put into a position of having to make a rank up call to qualify for any particular tier of Cyber weekend offer yet. And Kabam Miike's statement was made well before the deals are scheduled to be released.

But most important of all, Kabam Miike's statement *explicitly* states that the tier shifting behavior for progression-tied offers like this is unintentional and therefore Kabam cannot and will not make any guarantees about this behavior. You and you alone have to decide whether to take the risk or not based on your own judgment. You chose to rank up, and you chose to do so well in advance of the offers. That was your choice, and you're responsible for that choice.
