Update on AQ and AW rewards ? Question to Kabam

First and foremost a big thank you to Kabam for improving the rewards in the monthly event quest and the side quest. Reaching the next title (parangon) is now achievable in a reasonnable time for me and will allow the advanced players to keep upgrading their roster regularly.

Since those two parts of the game have been updated, I can't help myself but think that AW and AQ are now in a dire need of a reward update too.

Maybe Kabam would like to give us some insight about their plan to dust off this content ?

i think aq rewards are fine where they are. you're getting a good amount of rank up mats if you do higher maps. for aw, i think we've hit somewhat of a sweet spot. for doing 10 wars, there's never going to be an exact point where you can say "my work this season deserved this exact amount of rewards." but i think where they're at right now, they're pretty good

AQ rewards are the least of the problems AQ has. AW rewards were just changed about 2 seasons ago.

Aq rewards are fine. The system itself needs a change. The QOL on it sucks, 5 days of a mode we need and most hate needs to change. It should be 4 days and on a system like alliance war, have an off season every certain amount of time. Maybe every 6 weeks have 2 weeks off. The map cost is too high for map 8, and the need for 10 people to clear is really bad. Folks even in higher alliances go on vacation with their family, have work. It should require 8 tops. Map 8 started it with only 1 section needing 10 but still need 10 for 100%

Her's the issue with AQ rewards.

They basically try to get you to rank and level up specific champs whether you want to or not for prestige (historically, this might be Pheonix, today, that's Thor Rags).

Given how long 6 stars have been in the game, and the importance of prestige for AQ, players invested a lot into these champions, hoping that getting top AQ rewards would return dividends.

These players also tend to be spenders, as until recently, 6 star stones were very rare, and getting 1000 sigs on the top 5 was not easy without spending.

If though the reward for doing this does not make it worth it... then the point is moot. I'll be real curious to see how many people end up chasing after valkarie for her prestige knowing that it would take them a decade or so of AQ rewards to make it worth it (unless of course they also happen to like the champ and want to max her out over any other champ).

The only people that think AW and AQ rewards are fine are people that don't place highly in either. The fact that a side quest has a beeter R4 mat return than being in one of the top 20 alliances in either mode is laughable really

The fact that you don’t understand that rewards have to be reasonable for the majority rather than the top few is also laughable really.

We need solo events rewards to get buffed like level up, hero use.. And those tech arena fight, mystic upgrade etc etc

Aq rewards are 100% fine. Aw is okay too but aw needs to be less stressful imo. Make it less wars per season and cut off for season rewards should also be less like 3 wars

Helllllloo Summoners!

The dev team wanted me to relay to you all that they are working on updating AQ and AW rewards. There are more moving parts in these two game modes, which is why the EQ rewards update came first.

No timeline right now, but they were eager to get you the info!

Thanks. To the extent that you push info back to them, consider these few things:

I can currently spend 650 per cycle as a TB player on 10% random t5 (5% x2). Over the course of 50 cycles (400 days, or a little over 13 months) that’s 5 t5cc. I just bought 5 for 5000 units on July 4. The size of those chunks and the purchase limit need to be updated.

T5b has the same issue for TB players. By the time I buy 6X, I haven’t even formed one catalyst. Meanwhile each incremental purchase after that is now more than double my first one, and I need four full catalysts to rank a single champ to r3.

I would suggest:

T5cc - 10 percent chunks, limit 3.
T5b - 25% chunks with the current pricing system or 20% chunks with an increase of 25 glory per buy instead of 50

This will be really great then. Thanks for the info @kabam jax

Where did I say the issue I had was that the majority are now getting more access to these materials?

The issue I have is that the disparity between what are basically login rewards and what's the top alliances in the game earn is a joke.

I couldn't care less what is or isn't in SQ rewards. If you don't think it's absurd that SQ are more lucrative than what the very top of competitive alliance modes pay out, then feel free to explain what the point of those mode reward structures is supposed to be.

Dont mind him, he doesnt play competitively.

The fact that Masters earns less than SQ/EQ is a joke.

I believe whats laughable is the fact that you don’t understand that being in a top 20 alliance means you and 30 people need to rank and sig up champs you might not want to rank in order to obtain those top rewards…
So yeah AQ giving 3k r4 mats a week When side quests are throwing out 10-15k is rather insane. Also he didn’t say anything about people outside of top alliance not needing a bump in rewards lol

Then don’t play at the top? Others will continue to do so and earn the extra that you won’t be. You’ll be like every other non “top competitive” player. The main reason the top players strive to earn those extra rewards is to stay at the top. That is the advantage that they will always have. We already have an INSANE power creep between the top and the lower end of the end gamers, and you want an even larger gap? The simple fact is, nothing prevents you from gaining the SQ rewards and everything else in the game that the average player can gain. The advantage you get from being at the top is already massively different to everyone else.
