Why this SQ is one of the worst SQ IMO

SaltE_Wenis69

So Kabam Boo just confirmed the SQ path rewards are completely random. This means technically you can get 0 6* shards and 0 5* shards in the whole sq. Ive already ran this once and I've got to admit, the rewards are not looking too spicy. If you get trolled by rng, this SQ can be one of the worst SQ ever. Hopefully I won't get too much hate from this but its just my opinion. Hopefully, Kabam can learn from this SQ and know not to incorporate RNG into the rewards of the SQ in the future.

The rewards are in the objectives. Don’t sweat the quest so much.

I like the simplicity of the event (kinda like mutant island, still miles away) but yea rng sucks. Did my first pass and got 5 5* sig stones and 2 t4b shards

Yeah that does not feel good.

Well I mean a featured, t5cc, 1/4th of a T5b, and the AG are like the only good things. The other things are like legendary crystals, 4* AG, etc. No shards, no iso, etc. Like compared to even a not so great sq, those objective rewards are a little meh

The higher tier rewards in the objectives are nice, but I’m also not really sure about the random rewards. I like doing the side quest each month because it can usually give me extra crystal shards or rank up resources that I need. Unfortunately, since the path rewards are RNG based, it’s possible some players may go the most of the month without getting the rewards they want more than once. I’m not going to throw it completely under the bus yet until I actually get about half my runs or so done, but I am a bit worried as to whether I’ll get some good rewards.

I got one drop of 500 5* shards, 1 5* sig stone, 2000 t2 alpha, some t4 basic, and 3 drops of gold

What do you expect Kabam to learn this month that six years of working on MCOC and twenty five years of F2P monetization history haven't taught them yet?

I mean they kinda did the same thing with the red room things but the difference is we had that selector thingy. Actually Im kinda torn on which ones worse because that selector was so helpful but if you got shafted you were shafted hard. But if your shafted here at least you have some decent rewards ig

Not sure I follow the Tag. It's RNG. Nothing new to the game. My biggest issue was with the range that using Cavs presented. Other than that, RNG is a part of the game.

I believe it’s a set of 10 rewards and 7 of the 10 show up randomly in the quest each time, right?

They should’ve just made it 7 set rewards that are the same every time you run it and put the rest in the objectives.

GroundedWisdom

To be honest, my only qualm is with the daily entry. Seems to be a recurring thing.

Squirrelguy

I feel like what people are most upset about being random or having the potential of getting lower amounts of is the champion shards. So they are upset that there is RNG involved in a prize.... that already involves RNG. Like RNG is the basis of all crystals.....

so far it seems good for cats, I got ALL T2A FRAGS on day 1

I can’t believe the 5* sig stones are only +1!!

I am thinking if they could change it to generic.

They also have generic 5* stones available. I got two of them today, they are just more rare.

Ah ... yes, in Legendary difficulty. Out of reach for me.

It’s 7 rolls for 30 days, which brings to about 200 rolls... a large enough size for rng to even itself out amongst everyone.

Sure, the hero crystals are RNG based, but you don't have any chance to get t4b shards from a 5* or 6* hero crystal.

Just give us some form of currency so we can choose which rewards we want, or at least have all the rewards available on every map and give us a choice paths to take to get the rewards we want. Even the ones where we lock ourselves in to a choice between shard based rewards vs rankup resource based rewards for half the month are better than this.

The SQs where we players have agency in choosing our own rewards are always the most satisfying ones.

Having to pray for luck every time you enter a quest just sucks the joy out of it.

Hot Take: The objectives are enjoyable, the clues are usually a nice nod to the comics, movies or the in-game lore and it's nice to learn more from this.

The quests themselves are fun with the various player friendly nodes and is fine in terms of difficulty. The quest design itself is 10/10. You can choose which enemies you want face and if you want to skip an opponent, you don't have to sacrifice every subsequent reward.

As for rewards, I'm not against it nor am I condoning it. Average odds dictate that you will get the average amount of rewards this month as you would any other month and as said above, with a sample size this large, it'll likely even out. You could potentially get lucky and get more 6* shards and 5* shards or you could get unlucky in that regards and make up for it in another area.

I'll probably get a lot of disagrees but Im ok with RNG. RNG is nothing new, its been a part of crystals since forever. Sometimes u win, sometimes you lose. People shouldn't lose sight of the big picture, the great prizes at the bottom of the solo objectives that r not RNG: the 5* awakening crystal and all those T5CC.

Yeah I'd like that way more.

Well yeah so am I, thats the whole point of crystals. But imagine if you work so hard in some kind of content just to get shafted because the rewards (not talking about crystal pulls) are rng. Imagine if Act 6 rewards are rng based lol. Like instead of a guarantee 25% t5cc selector you can either get 10% or 40%. Not saying this will ever occur or this situation will ever happen but its similar in a way.
