Rant: Who designed this side quest?

CaptainRondo

I'll keep it brief.

We get a total of 3000 mojo bucks for each difficulty. cool.

We spend those mojo bucks in a store for different bundles that suit our different needs. awesome.

We earn mojo bucks in a side quest, one where each week a new chapter is released. sure.

Why is over 70% ( 2150) mojo bucks behind the very last week?. why?. How does this make any sense?.
I understand needing to keep the last two quests in chapter 3 separate to keep engagement ongoing throughout an entire sq/eq month going. But why is the vast majority of the rewards completely locked until the very last week?. Like I'd understand if let's say, 30% (1000) points was the last weeks rewards. It being a very large amount compared to previous weeks, but over 2150 is just....confusing.

I understand where your coming from specifically since the final boss we know will be a mojo who could roadblock people who are trying to make the transition master to uncollected or uncollected to legendary, at the same time the reward totals are really strong (think 45,000 5* shards or 67,5000 t5 basic) if you pick a lot of the better value bundles so I am willing to overlook it's flaws. Kabam will never release a perfect piece of content, it's impossible but on balance I think this one is shaping up to be really good.

This format is just going to make me completely ignore the whole side quest until the last week. Maybe 2 if energy concerns come into play. This design to keep people involved each week isn’t going to have the effect it set out for.

I just want to understand why this is the T5b offer for Thronebreaker... T1A doesn’t help me rank 6 stars

It's better than doing it all in a day and being bored for a month.

Sure, but that's not the issue. I even addressed that directly in the post.
The issue is that the amount you get before the last week is just way too low.
Getting 70% of all the rewards right at the end just doesn't seem right to me.
Like why even make it a store if you'll only use it within one week. It even makes the solo objective look ugly, you will only get 4 milestones done before the last week. 4 out of 12.

Now you get 70% in one day and 15% every previous week. Is that so much better?

I understand you were nudging at the people who complete events the first day and complain, I don't like that approach either. But I've gotta say OP has got a valid point, too much is locked behind last week. 70% is too much, I'd prefer that to be even 50%, with 20% and 30% on weeks 1 and 2 respectively

This store sucks big time ... especially for TB players ..we need more t2a which has a major shortage right now . Could have included atleast rank up gems in the MTN store ..this way they would have offered something new to players .

I’ve got 20+ t2a in overflow. It’s t5b that I need

ironically people will get bored once they notice that they will have to wait said month to get the brunt of the rewards

Can we just not bring up the "this is a major shortage of ______ " discussions? This store is an example of summoners actually being able to target specific catalysts that they have less of. There is not one single thing that all players are missing out on. Everyone has different needs depending on where they are in the game, if they spend, what content they do/don't focus on, etc.

Also, it has been a long time since I have heard anyone complain about T2A. If anything, everyone I have seen recently is complaining that they get way too little T5B and have too many T2A, which is more or less my scenario. Just how limited supply of materials works mate.

There is no shortage of t2a, mine are always expiring and I am forced to rankup 5* . We need more T2B and T5Cc. And ISO (for non arena grinders)

Ranking up 5* is just throwing good money after bad. The t2a is a sunk cost, don’t waste t4cc ranking 5* to save the t2a, just let it expire.

Shortage of t2a for TB?!? Bro you even play the game?

Colinwhitworth69

The SQ is easy and fine with me as designed. In fact it is prolly too easy.

Anyway, regarding the rewards, patience is a virtue.

It's pretty much the same format as EQ, aside from Cav. You get the majority of Rewards from Exploration.

Unlike the side quest, you can do EQ the moment it drops and get it all on the same day

Yeah pretty underwhelming side quest rewards and quest for that matter
But … it’s free… except for the time invested

That was my original point of being better than doing it all in one day and being bored the rest of the month.

If you're saying the reward structure is okay because it is the same as EQ, then the timer should also not be there like EQ. There is no reason for the rewards to be split so unevenly that it's better to just grind during the last week instead of doing it weekly

I was thinking the same thing. It feels like I sell T1A daily.

But you need to take all the rewards in the last week and some of the things like t1a just expire at the same time if you buy them all in the last week. Better to spread the rewards out so you can better manage your resources and prevent them from expiring. And the way it’s designed now, it’s really difficult to spread them out over the entire month.

I disagree. Would rather finish it all the first week and then not have to login again to worry about it.

Then again, I'm not in an alliance anymore so I don't really represent most of the community lol.

Don't know what you're on about but there hasn't been a shortage of t2a for any TB in my alliance or ones I've talked to, everyone is short on t5b

to give T1A to thronebreakers too? I don't understand why pepole think that the moment that you become TB you stop working on your 5 stars and T1As go into overflow. I'm TB (9 R3 6*) and yet I will go for all 32,5 T1A available in the store, and I'm really really happy with that bundle ^_^

This is why we need the next progression level soon. You're absolutely right, the moment you become TB, you're likely still filling out your roster, and so ranking certain 5*s are easy decisions. For those in the middle and top end of TB, ranking a 5* is like ranking a 4*, except it costs precious 6* resources.

Personally, I would only waste resources on a 5* if they were quake/ghost level good or if i had a 5* r4 to r5 gem and a champ not so easily obtained as a 6* (unavailable, requires high sig, new)
