The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!
Paragon Daily Card

It is poor imo - as a paragon player the only thing that has made the change worth it has been the daily crystal. There is no Test of the Paragon, Trial of the Paragon or actual Paragon deals in what has been almost 2 months of the title.
Not for me, Clive.
The calendar is okay but not spectacularly as the jump from Cav to TB was. The lack of t5b and t2a is glaring (even if you can get it via RNG from the dailies). Like I said the daily crystal has been the best thing whereby you can get almost everything in the calendar in 7 days worth of crystals instead of a month minus the minute t6b and t3a.
Matter of fact the reward exclusivity of EOP proves the point more:
- monthly/daily cards - only leveled up to TB
- Trial of Paragon - only leveled up to TB
- Test of the Paragon - only leveled up to TB.
- daily/weekly objective crystals - still only at Cav level
Why could these not be adjusted after 2 months similarly given the daily crystal, EOP and 4 hour crystals could be adjusted? EOP is reduced or lower level for titles below paragon ie Paragon's are increased - why not see similar in other aspects of title-influenced resources?I'm guessing the answer will be the "game economy' which means maybe it was too early for this title, and part of why they didnt seem ready on launch which so much of it as "coming soon"... but it has been released to drive interest and spending for July 4th.
Take a look at the post I just quoted. So how does what you’ve said about EoP not apply here?
Why should we count offers especially as several titles can do these (even if the offers are reduced per title level) ? These offers are not guaranteed. The cost of these offers in money, and one's ability to buy them, determine if they are really a benefit of the title.
Your own words point out the hypocrisy of asking for paragon benefits like offers while ignoring in game events. You can have both, or neither, but not hypocritically suit one to your argument while ignoring the other.
“Please gives us paragon benefits like offers, but I’m not counting EoP as a benefit because I have to put in game resources into doing that, even though I have to put real life money into buying offers”
Offers are not the only benefit of being paragon, if they were then maybe I’d agree with you. Paragon have their benefits, you can feel free to ask for more, but I think they’re substantial enough to warrant pushing for Paragon. So do a lot of people, considering how much people want to be paragon. If Paragon wasn’t worth it, why are so many people pushing for it?
There is no hypocrisy - I am asking for 2 things that are already based on in-game titles to be upgraded: money-based offers (eg monthly cards) and free items/benefits (e.g. certain title-based crystals). There is no hypocrisy in spenders wanting offers to spend on that reflect their title in the same way others are fine with title benefits in events that don't require but can benefit from spending.
Me disagreeing with you that in-game rewards based on game performance are not enough is not hypocrisy, it is my opinion. You think that EOP rewards are a paragon benefit that makes up for not having upgraded items and offers, I do not. That is not an example of hypocrisy . Hypocrisy is portraying beliefs that I do not in reality have - what I have stated is what I believe.
So does EoP make paragon worth it, considering you get more than what the daily Crystal gives you? If not, why does the daily Crystal and unit offers make it worth it, but EoP doesn’t?
But I’ll point it out if I disagree with you, and I’ll point out inconsistencies if you have them. I think EoP and July 4th make Paragon worth it, I disagree with you and will discuss it with you.
You highlight that sentence like me saying “feel free to ask for more” is me saying “ask for more and nobody should challenge you on it and just accept it”.
The only real issue I see is that Kabam stated there would be deals tailored to Paragon AT LAUNCH. They coulda just said shortly after launch, or hell, just say starting this July.
Us disagreeing is not inconsistency (or hypocrisy).
The only misstep was me thinking you were talking about the Paragon calendar as a source of t3a & t6b (something you get it once you log in w/o using any resources) vs the event gate (something that you may or may do, or may or may not use resources to complete).
You hadn't said exactly what you were referring to and I assumed it was the calendar drops. When people discuss what they get with a title they don't usually mention special events like Gauntlet or SOP - they will talk about calendars, crystals (and offers if you spend).
So essentially we can agree to disagree on this and that's fine by me. I'm not trying to convince anyone - just expressing my expectations and disappointment.
And Kabam is doing just fine. They have actual marketing strategists and people who know how to monetize the game, so if they’re waiting for 7-4, it prolly makes sense. Just not to you I guess.
