I kind of feel what OP is saying. It's about the choice rather than quantity. But for me either works as I have all fav champ ranked up in each class
Mystic :- Doom Science:- Void Skill :- stealthy/HM(if I get Elsa I will r4 her for sure even undupe) Mutant:-Apoc ( other option Stryfe,mags) Tech:-G2099(#2ghost ) Cosmic:- CGR
There's more than enough from content and Carinas to do what OP wants. OP doesn't want to out the effort into it.
I get your point about the imbalance generic can cause or the the value of such resources will be downgraded leading to other certain impact in pricing too of other resources.
But in imo it all track back to gifting event mess up. Generic came before class gem in pay to win and f2p or skilled players who aren't whales had hopes of similar rewards in future. So the freedom what generic or 3 t3a&t6bc can give ,a class gem can't and that's the issue OP is facing.
Also Carina vol 2 is better than vol 1 and it will take time majority to do it 100%. So you are right here about the resources what OP wants but then again real question remains about the act 7 rewards. Players see that separate content with same rewards. In short, rewards scaling.
For me I'm satisfied with act 7 exploration rewards. Tho I still believe that 7.4 rewards are underwhelming and could have been better
We can't compare Carinas to Act 7. Carinas is leagues more difficult compared to Act 7. Carinas deserves the better rewards. Act 7 doesn't. If Act 7 was anywhere near the difficulty of Carinas, I would be right there with everyone saying the current rewards aren't enough.
Act 7 is following the cadence in how items have been released in the past. We had R3 crystals before R3 generics.
Exactly, act 6 100% had a random class catalyst, abyss has random class catalysts. People are forgetting that this is the precedent that is set.
Yes gifting had a generic but that was for a very small handful of players, so you can’t conflate the two situations.
If you’re getting to act 7 100% without a good option from each class, your roster is not developed enough. And in that case, hold off until you pull the champ you want.
If you want to rank 1 specific champ, grind out carina challenges and get those rewards. Act 7 is not difficult enough content to get a rank 4 of your choice.
For me to get a rank 4 of my choice I had to do Summer of Pain, Grandmaster gauntlet, some Carina vol 1, most of Carina vol 2, spend 18k units for cyber weekend (very much an option for FTP players if you save early enough and/or grind arena) and 100% 7.1-3. How is that equivalent to doing just act 7? That means you’re saying that 7.4 alone is equivalent in rewards to SoP, GM gauntlet, some of Carina vol 1 and 2 and 18k units worth of offers. That’s baffling.
Act 7 is not hard enough to warrant an entire 3-4 of your choice. I’m surprised we got given a class 3-4, I was expecting 1, maybe 1 and a half T3A and T6B for the difficulty of act 7.
I've have all content explored, except from the revive powered content, for ex. new abyss carinas, all three abyss ones are left currently, Im done with carina V1 and six of V2's. Im nearly halfway to third t3a. I'll form 3rd t6b after 7.4, but not t3a. If I 100% Carina v2, I'll have 4 t6b and 3 t2a, which I'll do on a later date.
And yet, I don't own champs from every class to comfortably make a decision to r4. I don't want to r4 a Sig 1 fury. I don't want to dump sigs on CGR. My tech option to r3 is HB. He will go r4 but he will not be in my first 5 r4s.
There are 50 alliances that play T1. There are ~200 alliances who plays map8, and only top 45 gets r4 mats. Im currently in a T2 alliance, been playing map8 since it came. Guess only top 50 alliances are the one's who deserves their choice of r4
But how can one understand champion acquisition for the majority is not as easy as it people are making it sound. Completing content can take a back seat when you can buy your way though the top mats and acquiring new champs. I own only 2 6* champs from year 2021: -S99 high sig -Stryfe Unawakened. I had to spent 18k units on CW to get my Sig dumping R4 candidate Apoc from year 2020, despite of how many featureds I have opened. Sig stones aren't a joke for many of us . We have to find a balance between dumping SIG's for prestige and actual usefulness.
Im not bothered about this random 3-4 gem. I'm expecting disappointment as I have a 50-50% chance to win this rng. I'm rather happy for the players who haven't done revive fest content can still get the option to take a champ to r4. I 99% of times never object what kabam offers us players to stay relevant in our progression. I have been fine with most rewards vs difficulty controversies.
I don't want to offend any of you Elitist. This is more of what I see from where I stand progression wise. Getting new champions have been a horrible experience. Really looking forward to rewards after 7.4.
bUt I KnOw KaBaM hAtEs Me. (-jk) I'm not f2p anymore as I happened to spend $5 to reach 18k units during last Cyber weekend.
