Remember guys, last year Kabam ran a small deal like this for Black Friday, while the mother load deal was pushed off until Cyber Monday, which is in 3 days.
Now, if you take today's deal into consideration, it is a small step in the right direction, even if the deal is somewhat disappointing... Last Black Friday, there was only a deal for 3 T4b's, for 900 units. This year, the deal is 3 T4b's & a T1 Alpha for 900 units, plus an additional offer after said offer, for 3 more T4B's, 1 T4cc, 9k T2 Alpha shards, & a few more T1 Alpha's. That is a pretty good small step in the right direction, imo.
Is this a sign of better things to come for this coming Monday's Cyber sale, as MCOC has drastically evolved since last year? As the game has progressed in favoring 5 stars for playable content, & the last recent act - with another chapter of said act coming in 1-2 months, that will introduce highly ranked 6* champs with extra abilities; without a doubt, a class specific 5* awakening gem deal should be warranted. We do NOT, & I repeat, do NOT need a 5* random class crystal. Many of us long standing veteran players have multiple 5* awakening gems in our inventory of classes that are totally useless to us right now.
A class specific 5* awakening gem deal, even if it's just the gem of said choice, for $100 USD (can be cheaper, but just throwing this number out there) would be ideal for players of all levels, & will bring Kabam the biggest revenue out of all of their sales they've ever ran to date!
Fingers crossed
