So for the 1st run , rewards were paid out after it ended. Suggestions were made and forum team replied that during next run they will look into
So they didn't promised anything. Which is clear and fine by me and totally understandable too. I am just curious,did kabam took any initiative this time regarding reward payout if someone reaches the final milestone attainable according to his progression.
Point was that most of us didn't wanted to wait for full 3 weeks for rewards if someone could get it done earlier. So is there any kind of plans from game to team address this concern during this run?

The selectables and crystal shards can then be issued out later in mail, like how it is done currently.
For illustration purposes,
Milestone 1 : Nothing to claim.
Milestone 2 : 5 6* Stones
Milestone 3 : 5 6* Stones
Milestone 4 : 6750 T3A Fragments + 8550 T6B Fragments
Assuming someone only reached milestone 4, they would have claimed their rank up materials (the t3a, T6b fragments and 10 6* sig stones) from milestones, and will receive their Nexus crystal in the mail when the event is over.
Here’s another illustration:
For example, since I have reached milestone 6, I would have claimed, in total for milestones 1-6,
- 10 x 6* sig stones
- 22.5k T3a fragments
- 28.5k T6b fragments
Upon reaching milestone 7, I’ll be able to claim an additional
- 10 x 6* sig stones
- 22.5k t3a fragments (1 whole - what I have received)
- 28.5k T6b fragments (same as above)
If I were to stop at milestone 7, at the end of the event, I’ll get from my mail
- 6* nexus selector
- 5 x 25% t5cc selector.
I mean, it’s also a risk in case it went wrong as that would cause quite a lot of anger in the community, not to mention extra time spent fixing something if it went wrong.
I just feel is all that time and work that could be spent fixing something actually broken or in need of improvement better worth it? The 3 weeks isn’t ideal, but it’s not broken or necessarily in need of fixing.
I of course wouldn’t complain if it worked, but in terms of things that need fixing I wouldn’t rank it highly. If it ain’t broke, and all that.
Re: 1 - My preference would be for a structure like SOP, where the single-fight weeks and finale have separate rewards. Kabam could even create an objective to grant additional rewards for people who clear both 100%. But right now there’s a huge value jump for TB players between 12 and 16 points - half of each catalyst - so that’d have to be priced in somehow, through special objectives or otherwise.
Re: 2 - I just did a r4 this week. If I hadn’t been lazy about act 7, I’d have two, but I’m grinding it out. When the next EOP ends around Halloween, I’ll be paragon. If EQ/SQ is going to reliably grant half a catalyst per month, lots of players will be changing their progression title during and after EOP. When they change title during EOP, they unlock milestones previously unavailable.
