Gotta love second chances...

Talk about good timing.. not only can I make up for not getting the act 7 completion offer when first available...
I'll now actually have enough units after buying up all spring cleaning offers tomorrow..

Kabam.. you really have the best interest of the players at heart.. Thank You

i know i'm going to get disagreed to oblivion here, but it's fake internet points, so i don't really care. how could anyone not like this move? for players who already bought the offer, you still got to buy the offer for the same exact price it'll be offered at later. for people who didn't buy it, now you can. this is a perfect example of kabam listening to the community and responding. this is a win-win for everybody, nobody has any harm or loss with this

That was maybe the quickest turnaround from community displeasure to action by Kabam

That’s nice to hear but the complaining won’t stuff just because there’s having re it because not all wil be at there 3 but now there can getting that steps close

I'm just bummed that after exploding Act 7, I decided not to get the offer (before Paragon announcement). Instead, I wasted units on Omega Sentinel crystals (failed btw), so now I don't have the units for the second chance. Oh well.

... shout-out to all the people who spent units elsewhere gang and don't have anything saved up now. Il be honest this doesn't seem like the best solution imo but Im glad most people seem on board with it. Though it's still kind of dumb to have progression based on roster rather than skill

Gotta get this news out before Spring Cleaning.

Still not sure about this ...

Its still not enough for F2P players to achieve the title, and overall its not a good offer. And its mainly a choise of spending on the offer, or saving for all deals on July 4th ...

Guys 70% of the members who skipped the offer is because they didn't have the units purchase, while 30% skipped because it is not worth.

The point is they have extended the period till 5th of May, do you all think that solves the problem.
5th of May is just less than 10 days from now

Think about the 70% of the members who skipped because of less units.. is it possible to get 10 K units within 10 days..
Or let us think the fact about the rest 30% who skipped because the offer was not worth, does it make the offer worth for them giving an extended period, Still it is worthless.

Trying to patch things won't work until and unless they make the offer a permanent purchase without deadline, let it be 12 K units as the company wants to make money, but the offer should be permanent to that at the least 30-40% of the members who are willing to take the offer grind the units and get later anytime they could.

Just think logically guys, don't be so happy for the biscuits

Yeah, the requirement should be changed to 2 r4’s

People will disagree with you here as they are not seeing the bigger picture and how game direction is going towards PAY TO ACHIEVE RATHER THAN PLAY TO ACHIEVE.
I agree with you here and you argument made in original post was made 100% on point and genuine 👍👍👍

Where are you getting your stats? Just guessing with random numbers isn't providing any useful information. I can speak for myself and a few alliance mates that have spoke out about this in Line chat, as you may be to. That said, I and a few others that I know personally don't fit into your made up metric. We didn't buy the Act 7 offer, not because we didn't have the units, but because it didn't provide enough value to us at the time. Two variables I used when making this decision were 1- an extra R4 would not save me 10k units by July 4th. 2- I explored one chapter at a time, so I didn't need the other items in the offer.

That changed when the title was announced. I did not purchase the offer, but was able to get 2x R4's from Act exploration, so my next would qualify me for Paragon. Now, let's look at my previous reasons for not buying the offer and see how the title changes things, if at all. 1- an extra R4 would get me the title, which may not earn me 10k by July 4th, but it would gain me other resources which could make it worth it, at least, close enough to think further on it. 2- I could use the additional items for the remaining carina challenges, which with the offer, would get me my third R4.

Not saying it's a no brainer to buy the offer now. I don't like to make decisions without all the variables to consider. Kabam withheld a variable that would have been good to know at the time, is my point.

Regardless, I won't be buying the re-run of the offer, because like a fool I spent my units on Omega Sentinal crystals after declining the offer, smh.

I’m not going to buy it either way so I’ve got no skin in the game, but -

The way Kabam ‘messed up’ the release of paragon (I think everything they’ve done is 100% intentional to maximise profit) has meant they’ve now given everyone who passed up on the offer first time a small window to gather the units required. 10 days to get 10000 units isn’t achievable.

If they’d been upfront at the start, the player base could have planned their approach to 7.4 and waited until they had the required units.

Long story short - I’d guess the majority of people needing this offer will still have to spend money to purchase the units they need, which is what Kabam want. I don’t really think this is a pro-player move.

^^^Yep 100% intentional to maximize profit. That's what they do. Bring the offer back as planned and people think they are "listening to our feedback"

I have enough units for the offer and July 4th, and purchasing it and finishing Carina's would get me to Paragon. But I'm not buying it off principle. I love the game, I appreciate all the devs. But the business side is just greasy.
