8.2 release date and rewards opinions

HSS75

I guess that if beta testing didn't start yet than it could release in late may or june even july at the latest. Rewards would probally be the same as 8.1 as seen in those rewards on 7.1 and 7.2 are the same and in 7.3 it started increasing
Any guesses?(p.s only opinion nothing confirmed yet)

The beta was back around November for 8.2

They always do the beta well in advance of its release date

In my opinion, 8.2 should at a minimum, be giving a t6cc selector for exploration because kabam has hyperinflated the economy and if story content rewards keep scaling at their old pace, then they'll be outdated by the time 8.2 launches.

Honestly,it's still feels too early to give out t6cc selectors since it's still hard to become paragon as well as ranking up rank 4 champs, it would be better if they give more tier 3 alpha and tier 6 basic since people find it hard to get them the most now

A full T6CC is overkill. 25% selector makes more sense considering that's what they gave us in 8.1.

I just think it doesn't make sense to continue the trend of having a r5 by the end of 8.4 (which is 1 year away from now) when we have 7*s coming any month now and a r1 7* currently is better than a r4 (if they dont need their sig) if they keep the new combat power rate system they have.

For stamps you can get 10% t6cc every week, the economy of the game has skyrocketed a ton.

Note: yes kabam should be giving more r4 materials, I'm just focused on the r5 resources since they are the top reward in the game at the moment.

So the community can get hyped and then call it a slap in the face

Rewards wise, if 8.2 gives the expected compared to 8.1(same scaling as 7.1 to 7.2), then story quest role will become more like a supportive one like Variants.
Kabam need to ante up the rewards significantly and have a descent number of r5 mats in order for story content to stay relevant and in par with the current game economy.
As @Picolu said you can buy 10% of t6cc every week in store.
At this point 8.2 should give a full r5 for exploring.
7*s are literally around the corner, an r5 for exploring the latest story content makes absolute sense.
Though I wouldn’t bet on that knowing Kabam 😂

“One third of the resource needed for a rankup is too much for a full chapter of story mode. It makes more sense to give you the exact same thing you were given seven months ago for doing content that’s harder than what you did seven months ago.”

Umm…sure thing, scooter.
