Gifting

So gifting is in 3 days, I know you all are gonna say hey patient but why hasn’t kabam showed us any of the rewards for the ggc themselves, rank/milestones, just wondering so I can be hyped up. I mean you guys just gave us January information while everyone is waiting on Monday. Come on kabam. Let us be excited for wasting our money.

It's kinda ridiculous they haven't told us whats in GGCs yet.

Runavargr

Heck I don’t even think they verified if there will be ggc’s lol

Probably the same as last year

@Kabam Miike could we at least know why it's taking so long to have information ? Last year we had infos by the end of november... now er are 3 days away

TheBoogyMan

They're trying to build up the suspense. Earlier today there was a thread where someone had posted a list of items in the GGCs. That thread has been removed. It was probably correct.

Any hints you can give to increase my hype for spending money on this event?

I’d fully blocked out how Apocalypse looked in that movie until this moment. How do I go back to that?

So same ol same ol, if this is the response.

No announcement before the day of the actual event? That’s like putting on your blinker after you’ve made a turn.

Who cares about gifting? Lol it’s just another reminder that you can play all you want but the whales are the ones that get the most valuable items that aren’t attainable by any other means besides money

I know I’m gonna eat some disagrees on this one but for real, what does the extra 72 hours of knowing get you?

Like, what behavior changes? If you find out rewards are bad now versus 72 hours from now, what will you do differently? Conversely, if you find out they’re great, what is different?

These are genuine questions. I know y’all don’t need to explain anything to me, but I’d love to understand what the urgency here is. You know that you need units to participate in this. At this point, you’ve either farmed them or you haven’t.

Knowing what the rewards will be won’t change that fact. And there’s no special deal running today encouraging unit purchase over any other day. If Kabam runs deals on unit purchases prior to the gifting event going live, then I’ll agree that the information should be disclosed. But until then? It’s just idle curiosity. I’d also like to know, but it’s not gonna eat away at me or even matter in the grand scheme of things.

Grind units if they're good? Time would be would be better spent elsewhere if not

It’s just excitement and wanting to know. I’d love to know the rewards right now and be hyped to get them, but now that it’s confirmed that they won’t be released until Monday I’m hyped to find out.

Some people take that knowledge that they won’t know until Monday and decide to label that disappointment as poor customer service, ridiculous etc. Some use anything to tell kabam how bad they are, that’s all it is.

It might be something to do with what alliance you'd be in. If you like the event, you might change alliances or something else. It is most probably something to do with alliance gifting.

Would it be though? I mean, units never depreciate in value. You’ll use them eventually whether it’s on gifting or some other deal (or maybe even content) down the line.

I can’t imagine ever being in a situation in this game where I find that I have *too many* units.

It’s all about hype and customer communication, we’ve always known the rewards are for most any given event, I mean yeah it isn’t gonna hurt to know until Monday but when we do know it causes discussions and those discussions amongst friends and ally mates can be fun.

This is fair. Although a bit late at this point, it would have been a good argument for early announcement at the same time as the 14 day lockout announcement.

@BitterSteel yeah, my comment was mostly directed at the people who seem to be genuinely angry about not being told. I totally get wanting to know just for the excitement and fun of speculation.

I mean you realize you can use that same logic for every other announcement from Kabam right? Like why do I need to care about next months cavs events when I can just check the events on the day? 1-2 new different champs per month and same lame monthly content and some other recycled monthly event.

One quick example would be if people were going to save the units as opposed to using units this weekend to get some content done like AOL or act content etc.. also.. maybe someone would buy some crystals.. so the sooner you know the better..

Wonder how they will punish the money exploiters this time. If they will that is

Its holiday season so all about the opportunity cost. I could grind or do other things. Was just an example of why people would want to know in advance. As others have said there are other reasons such as finding a whale alliance for the overall rewards as there was the 14 day period for changing alliances.

Personally I just want to find out to manage my own expectations. The team usually prepare you for the following month in advance, just not in this instance.

MASSIVE REVEALS MONDAY

I just hope they are progression based this time around. We dont need all that lower level stuff and newer players shouldn't get several 6*s before even having a 5* roster

I really doubt they will be, but I agree they should be. I think they'd be better for everyone, as TB ones can be tailored to TB, Cav to Cav etc. And new players can get cool resources that will help them enjoy the game in the long and short term. Not T3A, 6* Awakening gems or a full 6* that lets them smash through content without reading and learning nodes. Only to then wonder why their amazing 6* champ is getting shut down by one of the thousand node combinations or interactions they would have learned by playing the game at a more reasonable level

Eb0ny-O-M4w

As long as there are no T6 basics or T3 alphas or 6-star awakenings, it should be fine. Just make it the same as last year, increase rates for the good items, and add Weapon X there (even if just a 5-star, and 6-star on the rank rewards).

Totally Agree. Even if it's UC and up, and the rest..... If the "rumored" list is accurate (which I doubt), what use would a proven player have for t6 basic and t3 alpha frags.

Urgency. Last time I remember not really bothering with the event since I thought I would never be able to get anything worthwhile. But when I saw the point and rewarding milestones and such I realized I could actually push and get something.
