Road to the Crypt

I just finished my 1st path today.
Is there anywhere we can see the progress for road to crypt?

Maybe there’s a cheater purposely dying ~60 times per run. Not sure what metrics Kabam use to detect cheating but that’s something I might do, if I were of that persuasion.

Not sure if they have the ability to do so but something random for the summoner who was first and the 5 millionth death would be cool.

A title would be cool, run a competition for appropriate titles.

I died 18 times...........on Titania alone. Your welcome everyone, your welcome

Pikolu

Is anyone going to tell them?

Giantwalrus56

Curious how many other revives you used on the path for completion because those are the actual deaths that count...

Shh it might hurt his feelings

I think @baskinrobbinsKNOWS (no pun intended)

Damn, all milestones have been hit and I'm yet to start, I'm sorry to let you all down.

Polygon

Would be nice to add a 6m milestone

Don’t wait to get a 6* Aegon to do it… I’m doing it with a 5*, and only when I got to Psychoman I realised that I forgot to equip Aegon with a relic… currently on Cap Sam, I’m only doing 3 or 4 fights a day

PT_99

I tried 5* Aegon in AQ, his damage made me cry plus I'm planning for 100% so why not wait till Banquet 2 Abyss. If not, then 5*.

BUT I have intentionally entered the depths of Kabam jail to find the secret legendary 6* Aegon, I'm only coming out with him.

There should be one last tier for those who've 100% explored it.

Gamer

Honestly no one fouce one to do it 100 at launch so just because u clere it early don’t makes u need more. Just my opinion

Ironman3000

No, but we contributed ~6 times as many deaths as those who only did one run.

Pikolu

Idk, I know of a person who used like 3x as many revives on their 1 run as I am using on exploring the whole thing. They're the real MVP

Graves_3

Are you sure about that? ~6 times more fights doesn’t equate to ~6 times more deaths. I can beat the death count of MSD’s exploration in just my first 2-3 fights.

Azenstar

You should receive a 10* Groot!!

ItsClobberinTime

Why do you always insist in alienating players? Let everyone enjoy the rewards for once jeez nobody told you to explore it, you did that to yourself 💀

Ironman3000

How is adding an extra reward for those who 100% Necro "alienating players"? It's just an extra bonus for those who pushed in the content and contributed most of the deaths.

Jefechuta

The extra rewards are the exploration ones, which you already got, lol, no need on additional ones

Graves_3

It’s like asking for extra glory because you killed the boss in AQ.

Ironman3000

It's more like asking for more glory for doing 6 paths in AQ instead of 1.

Jefechuta

No, its like asking for more Alliance rewards because you played more BGs, you already have your own Individual ones thanks to that time/effort you spent, the same way you have your exploration rewards.

Also, Road to Crypt is free rewards just because, they could have given 0 rewards and we would have around the same death count anyway since Necropolis is worth the effort and the time spent so we are doing it as soon as we can.

Ironman3000

That is a better analogy, and I agree with it. It sucks that some players can just ride the coattails of those who actually put in the time/effort.

If anyone is starting a band and looking for a name, you could do a lot worse than Dead Aegons

Chuck_Finley

How many summoners jumped in with R4 Aegon’s and unitman synergies with no history of completing Everest content? There would be no incentive to rush before 8.4. Everyone of those accounts would be trying to max Aegon or chasing Shuri/Wong as 7 stars. Road to the crypt provided the incentive to plow through now… not sure the death totals would be what you suggest by Jan 15th otherwise

GroundedWisdom

Tell me you don't get the concept of "Road to the Crypt" without telling me you don't get it.

DNA3000

The whole point of the Road to the Crypt thing was to make light of the fact that some people were going to sail through it, and some were going to struggle. Road to the Crypt flips that on its head and says even if you are going to struggle, there is a way in which you can contribute to the community as a whole, or at least the subset of the community that tackles Everest content soon after release. In fact, you can claim to have contributed more than the players who typically do this content with far more ease.

No one is riding on the coattails of anyone else. If anything, the players who ordinarily blast through this content with far less expenditure than most are only getting the rewards they are getting from RttC because of the players who ordinarily struggle far more, or who would otherwise not even bother. It is supposed to be fun, and bring in more players to the excitement of the initial rush of Everest release. Saying that some players are riding on the coattails of other players who are "actually putting in the time and effort" is literally contradicting the spirit of the event. That kind of spirit or attitude would preclude having a Road to the Crypt at all.

If you believe players should only get what their own effort deserves, the Necropolis itself does that. There's no need for a Road to the Crypt. I agree with Jefechuta; this is exactly like someone asking for MVP rewards in alliance war, or asking for more AQ rewards because they did the harder path. The only reason we have alliances at all is to create small communities of players who support each other, to form connections with players in a game that has so many players it is impossible to really know them all in general. If someone's attitude is their alliance mates are just riding on their coattails, they are in the wrong alliance. And if someone believes some of the players we're trying to connect to with the Road to the Crypt are just riding on the coattails of the more dedicated Necropolis runners, they've lost sight of the community building that event is trying to achieve.

ItsClobberinTime

You wouldn't have reached 5M without the deaths from the people who went only for completion either, what you're saying makes no sense.

zuffy

That is a better analogy, and I agree with it. It sucks that some players can just ride the coattails of those who actually put in the time/effort.

I can reverse this and say karatemike, msd and others are coat tailing since their exploration are less deaths than many that ran 1 path. What a dumb way to be complacent on a reward that wants the community to come together.
