I will struggle to R2, R4,R5 any champion!!….. no one cares or asked for T4a.
Increase the amount of T3a and T6b! I will spend the minimum required to help my alliance and that’s it…. Because it’s gonna suck getting T2a and T5b when I just sell them.
I would happily sell all my t2a and t5b for 300 units each. They have not taken into account the different stores increases over the year. Look what you get for £20 no rng in the paragon catalyst bundle(1.5 t6b + 1.5 t6a +2xt5b + t5cs) compared to £20 of units(550). They know the economy has changed, especially for paragon and above because they are selling it in store using the new economy. I think the response is really disingenuous.
Banquet being maybe the most top reward event, is a fact, noone is doubting that. But it not being locked behind progression is one if the things I cannot understand. You said that the Abyss Nexus is "much better prize than last year's relic, for almost the same effort". Sure it's a really good reward. For players TB- . For paragons, not to mention valiants it's mostly 275, hopefully 550 7* shards. And these rewards are not behind hard content, so there is a "kind of" progression lock; paragons can drop on the same amount of money as contenders, getting the same rewards, but it's value is not even similar.
I won't even start on the ranked rewards above the top 1% is basically the same as last year's, + the additional 7* shards if there is any. If I end up the same as last year, u will receive the same r2-3 gem as last year, but it's value has become basically irrelevant, compared to last year.
You mentioned not wanting to burn through 7*s in a year. Sure, but I remember when 7*s were introduced many player said it's really soon, having basically just a few r4s and maybe 1 R5 from EOP. And since 7*s are that much stronger than ranked 6*, players quickly dropped ranking 6*s and started focusing on 7*s, apart from the obvious necessities. If we wouldn't have r4-5 gems, people would barely have 6r5 champs. And since new champs are immediately available as 7* from feat paragon crystals, champs like herc or doom or kitty will soon lost their 6r5 values, because they will have replacements.
Make it a nexus 6* of all champs not in the basic or featured crystal (i.e., “rare” champs) and it might have some allure. Otherwise, it’s a nexus iso+gold+shards crystal for many players.
The biggest mistake you guys (kabam) made was rereleasing end game rank up materials too fast too soon! Drip feeding was the way to go, as RichTheMan eluded to! Back in the days it would take years for people to get a fully formed t5b let alone a t5cc! You really need to go back to the drawing board on this! I don’t know how you’ll do damage control but this is something you need to think long and hard if this game is going to push!
Think of how progression was for players when 5* came out and how long it took for people to get rank up material! I know things are different but I think pacing the game progression like back then could help!
Not knowing, maybe you’re now focusing on new players but even then, some of the math doesn’t add up even for someone who’s progressed a bit (Uncollected/ Cavalier)! Logic is that investing 10k units in progression will give you better rewards than the solo milestones! Worse still for Throne breaker and those who’ve recently become paragon! I mean paragon gauntlet rewards are way better, and let’s not even talk of necropolis!
And you might be saying there’s also rewards from the GGCs but those are random and you can’t control what you get. Also apart from the completion and exploration rewards there’s also the in path items, which all look better than some of the stuff on offer in the crystals.
Lastly once you get to higher progression, battlegrounds and glory store also offer some of these things you’re offering here!
@Kabam Miike EDIT: Right is left, left is right, damn, its 2 AM here
Since its kinda meh to write it, I just edited some of the fixes I think would be appropiate without destroying the economy of the game:
First of all, the Greater Banquet Crystals:
Right side is the current one, left side is my change
I dont think at the current state of the game, we should have 2 6* Sig Stone prizes, so I changed it so we only have the generic ones only.
Buffed the 7* Shards a little bit, since I dont know the chances still, guessing those are above the lower % ones, I think those buffs are kinda fair, both basic and Titan shards.
We had also 2 prizes for T5 basic, the lowest one was removed.
No more changes here.
Also changed the ISO rewards inside the GBC, the first amounts are the current ones, the last amounts are the ones I would wish for, the ones in the middle are the fair ones.
Now, the Solo Milestones:
Right side is the current one, left side is my change
Removed the T2 Alpha rewards and lowered one Tier the points overall.
6* Awakening Gem reduced to one, and lowered the points till put it right after the Deathless piece.
T5 Basic Cats removed.
5-Star relic turned into Nexus.
T5 CC, T3 Alpha and T6 Basic buffed from 1 to 3.
6-Star Relic turned into Nexus. ( I dont think its that gamebreaking to make it Nexus)
T6 Class Catalyst Selector points lowered.
6* Rank Up Crystal 4 to 5 added.
Titan Shards added.
I think those changes are fair enough without being gamebreaking.
And finally the alliance milestones:
Right side is the current one, left side is my change
T2 Alpha and T5 Basic removed and T3 and T6 added instead, one of each.
Tier 1 Primordial Dust removed .
6* Shards points lowered into the T1 Dust place.
6* Rank Up Gem 3 to 4 added.
T3 Alpha frags removed, T6 Class 50% Crystal added instead.
T6 Basic Frags removed, 7* Shards added instead; 2500 (I dont think its too much, can be lowered but I think this is fair enough)
Now, I think this changes are enough to fix the players negative feedback, but the ranked rewards need also need several tweaks, rewards from 601-2600 to 100% should be looken into, in this case Ill just write it down instead of make a comparison table:
Minimum 6 Rank up Gems should be 3 to 4, remove the lower ones.
7* Shards should be buffed, how come top 601 spender only gets 2.500 Titan shards, I dont think thats fair at all, same with the basic ones.
We need more Relic Nexuses for top rewards.
6* Crystals, nexus or not, should be class at least for higher ranks.
And some buffs in calendar rewards from Dec 21 to Jan 3:
Turn 2k 4*Shards into 10k 5* Shards.
Turn 5k 5*Shards into 5k 6*Shards, both days
Turn 4k 6*Shards into 2.5k 7* Shards.
Those would be the changes overall, I think most of them are fair enough for both the players and the company, I dont know if you guys have enough time to change them or not, but I think it would be very nice to give an additional "compensation" or "gift" package with the rewards I changed above for the players that would have reached that rewards.
I hope this at least helps for the next event if you cant fix this one before it starts.
Thank you for making this.
One thing I'd like to add about your last sentence, I hope they don't take this literally and use those rewards for next year cause they will be out of touch once again. Being one year behind on the meta just like they are one year behind this year.
Yeah ofc, I was meaning that I hope next year take into account what resources should be given for the amount of units spent and the actual economy of that year, my comparison is only useful for this current year, I hope Kabam fams read the post and maybe try to do something before it starts
I think they really dropped the ball on the banquet event this year. I don’t think people are expecting to get 100 7*s or r3 and or r4 7*s, however the rank up materials and lack there of, is what upsets people. The game economy changed, a paragon or a valiant player seeing t5b or t2a, looks at it and it’s essentially worthless. I feel you should be able to r2 one or 2 7*s or even max out a few 6*s. Open up 4 or so 7*s and maybe if we’re feeling jolly, a titan crystal 😱. I don’t think there is any lore for people unless you drop $100k on the game. It’s a missed opportunity this year. I usually participate and I’m not saying my participation will greatly affect the game, it’s just disheartening to see especially during December and the holidays where in theory it’s usually the best month of the year to play MCOC. Some stuff is ok, most of it is lacking greatly though.
It is strange that we all say the same thing in regards to rewards are literally thronebreaker material the crystals are a gamble and if u don’t grind arena for units then u spending money honestly. The best retaliation would be to not spend money on banquet i don’t mind that u simplify why numbers got merged and u added more rewards to milestone. Great happy for marketing team the rewards on the ggc are the problem the drop rate is the problem I spend 300 units and get a t2 alpha when I’m overstocked on it I would be upset. Here a suggestion maybe if maybe make ggc selector that contains either rank material or crystal material and have both keep sig stones and what not idk and idc. @Kabam Miike i get making content is a long process and if they cannot fix it this year can they please not repeat the same stuff next year 7 stars are not gonna ask for 8 stars next year that wouldn’t make sense because u slowed down on the rank up material and there is still a limited amount of 7 star champions available but there are people that are trying to dup 7 stars or add more to their roster so they can get the limited 7 star titan shards. Solo rewards are meh also because f2p -dolphins are not really getting anything worth while people better off completing their necropolis run before janurary 15th atleast your guarantee a 7 star and rank up gem
Hey guys, I see lots of feedback, and have been thinking about what to respond with. Honestly, I don't know if there is anything to respond with, and I don't think there's anything I can say that will change opinions here.
This event is something people look forward to, and it's something that we strive to deliver on. This year, we made improvements in every way possible, so your direct feedback with actual actionable items would be appreciated to help me understand.
We reduced the number of points available for opening each Greater Gifting Crystal, but also reduced the points needed to hit that same milestone last year. Last year, there was 15 Solo Event milestones, with the top reward being a 5-Star Relic at 100,000 points. Buy and opening 25 crystals got you that Milestone. This year, the 15th Milestone is at 75,600 points and is a 6-Star Abyss Nexus Crystal. To get there, you would need to buy and open 28 GBCs. Yes, that is 3 more than before, but it's also arguably a better reward than the Relic Crystal.
There are also 5 additional Milestones available, and while I get that people are looking at last year's as "I got everything for 25 Crystals", that's not really a fair way to look at this. We extended the runway, added more Milestones for those that want to complete it, and took nothing away from those who don't want to go any further than what they did last time.
The Alliance event also has one additional Milestone, but to hit the 15th Milestone, it requires fewer crystals from across the whole Alliance than it did to hit the 15th (and final) Milestone of last year. We added one more Milestone this year for those that want to go for it. I think people are looking at those rewards tables as 100% vs 100%, not as the number of milestones, which is how they really should be looked at.
Additionally, these Crystals have better rewards than the last year's crystals.
Of course, we can't compare last year's event to this one directly; there's been a lot of changes in the Game, with the addition of 7 Stars, Ascension, and higher ranks, but that doesn't mean that we are going to go crazy with all of those materials. There are a lot of comments on wanting more 7-Star Shards or Rank 3 Materials (we were explicit with where you can expect to get the first available R3 7-Stars), and while I understand where you're coming from, nobody wants to live in a world where we burn through 7-Stars in a year and need to introduce 8-Stars in 2024. There will always be taps that are opened slowly, otherwise we end up burning through content and that's not good for the game.
I appreciate all of your feedback, but if you have something a bit more actionable or precise as to why you're upset, I would love to take that to the team for future consideration. I want to understand, so we can improve for the future.
Point to take to the team, these events become redundant if rewards you can get elsewhere in the game look more attractive than what you get from the event! Paragon gauntlet, Necropolis and even the glory and battle grounds store! Investing in progression also looks more attractive as you don’t only get the completion, in path and exploration rewards, you also unlock other game content mentioned above that give better rewards.
I get that there are people who had progressed and you needed to give them content to work on, but I think this is the point where you guys really need to put your thinking caps on, because you’re right in saying you can’t just flood the game with certain items, that would be suicidal. But I feel there needs to be that balance between rewards from in game content and what you get from these events. This year I hate to say it but there was a bit of a party foul ito what you released and how easy it was to then progress. You need to go back to the table, hint hint, remember how long it took to get and rank up 4* then 5* to max, I think the same should have been the case for 6*. It should have taken a bit longer to just get as many 6* let alone rank them up to R3 and 4!
I saved a year, waiting for the event to find a "sprinkling" of what I need and more of what I needed last year. For banquet the rewards just seem to be more geared to when I was pushing thronebreaker, no big though only thing is I'll just readjust how many units I intended to pump into the event and wait for July 4th and cyber weekend next year.
I have compiled a short list of actionable items that all could realistically be done within a day/enough time before the event starts. As it stands now the valiant daily crystals are more rewarding than the gbcs and we get 2 a day for FREE. No one is asking for more r3s in this event so i don't know why this point keeps being raised as a counter to our complaints like it matters.
- Unit cost reduced to 200 - Remove t5b and t2a - Lock the event behind progression - Increase t6b and t3a - Increase 7-star shards to 1500 or 3000 (could trade off t4a) - Improve the alliance event rewards, 1/4 of t6b and t3a is laughable - Everything Jefechuta outlined in his post - Remove the 6-star awakening gems in the milestones and replace with rank gems - Add ascension mats and titan shards to upper levels of solo milestones - Restore points for consumable purchases - Increase r2 mats - Change the abyss Nexus to a 7star crystal (it’s just iso for many players) - Change a 6-star awakening gem to a max sig gem - Increase the quantity of 6-star shards if they need to stay - Overhaul the milestone rewards because they are essentially a copy-paste from last year - Change the rank rewards for anyone not blowing their life savings because they are laughable
There are probably many more but I'm busy today and don't have time to do more

As much as i agree with this, your in jail lol so I definitely do not think they will listen to you.
The banquet is suitable for player thronebreaker and below, for end content players it's a easy skip it's better to invest in necropolis, The same issue than all previous years but it's became more problematic, they give the same crystal and milestone for all, and the idea of end content players just need to spent more unit and go throught useless rewards that's bad It's more profitable to build loyalty towards newer player and they don't hide it. Well for me it's a win, they push me to became free to play, thank you kabam,

1st of all there's a whole new progression title. 2nd of all since I am valiant now those crystals have stuff in them for 10$ that you just made it so we could sell them for gold. Ags? I spent alot of money on the unit deals so I could become valiant and have units for Xmas which is supposed to be an event for everyone but unless I spend enough to get into the top 100 or for real top 30 then I will get nothing in this event that will do anything. So now I spent money that I now regret. Spending 12k units for a 7 star is ridiculous. I don't care what champs are in the crystal. Also there's no content where any of this is relevant except bgs but now if you don't spend enough for a down payment on a house then there's going to be 100 people that rosters are so ridiculous that I have no chance in bgs even though I am valiant. If you don't see the problems with this and recognize the problems with the rewards and the cost of them then you are out of touch with reality. The daily crystals I get are better than almost every reward in this event. The alliance event the 3rd best reward is a 6 star abyss nexus. But I have all the 6 stars and most valiant and older paragons do. I feel like kabam is just trying to rip me off now. I am so sick of dealing with the bs support, the bugs, and now all this extra **** that I am done spending and very tempted just to dispute all the charges I made during cyber weekend. Kabam should want to make their customers happy because happy customers equal more money but instead kabam treats their customers like garbage, and blatantly spits in their faces with things like this.
It’s simple really. Last year you had just introduced rank 5 6*s and solo milestones gave 1/3 of the rarest resource needed for rank 4. This year you have just introduced rank 3 7*s so the solo milestones should give 1/3 of the rarest resource needed for 7* rank 2 (or 6* rank 5). There should be at least a T6C crystal in the milestones for the same amount of unit spend that T3A and T6B were available last year.

I get that making 7r3 more available is “bad” for the game but when you are giving away r3 gems for top 90, and at higher ranks 2 of them what message are you sending here?
then you cutoff all r3 materials all together no t4 catalyst for rank 91 😂 like the sadness a player getting 91 must hurt so much,
rank 90 full r3 gem rank 91 well 6*s are great again lol
what ever happened to diminishing returns this instead goes from hero ti zero in one single rank.
All the 7* goodness is above rank 90 anything lower than rank 91 and your essentially lost the game
and same with 7* crystals, top 90 titan selector lower ranks than 91 your basically Cavalier at this level lol

Im not saying you cant because they dont listen to me either
Never saw the community being so upset with the banquet event like this, it's the first time in almost 7 years playing this game that i looked at this event and was like ''uh that's not worth it'' If kabam doesn't make any changes at all to this event, they can be sure that the revenue for this period of the year will drop drastically compared with 2022's Don't get me wrong kabam, i wanna spend my units and participate in this event, but i wanna do it when it's worth it....in the solo event i simply don't care about the milestones from 3º-14º (excluding deathless tina) and that's insane, that's 11 rewards that i simply don't have that many use, then why would i spend my units?
Nothing much to say that haven't been said. Very smart people here who are actually trying to help and kabam refuse to understand. People have clearly shown what is wrong with the event and rewards. Having 7* in the game and many have 7* rank 3s these rewards are not even mid.
No hope here... I think people should be smart enough to respond with similar response with wallet...

There are a lot of comments on wanting more 7-Star Shards or Rank 3 Materials (we were explicit with where you can expect to get the first available R3 7-Stars), and while I understand where you're coming from, nobody wants to live in a world where we burn through 7-Stars in a year and need to introduce 8-Stars in 2024. There will always be taps that are opened slowly, otherwise we end up burning through content and that's not good for the game.
I appreciate all of your feedback, but if you have something a bit more actionable or precise as to why you're upset, I would love to take that to the team for future consideration. I want to understand, so we can improve for the future.
Mike, KT1 and Rich both put out videos about the inflation of items, and the devaluing of items year to year, as opposed to the locked in unit worth of items and GBC. In a year where 7 stars, and all the materials needed to rank them, entered the game, along with necropolis, the value of all things 6 star took a huge dip in value. You don't need to throw in r3 7 star gems, but the materials offered need to be better than what there is now. Especially when similar materials are available in incursions and BG store. The value is simply not there this year, especially with all the added in-game elements that make last year's big GBC rewards less valuable by a considerable margin.
They ruined the balance of the game with July 4th deals and trying to fix it and they can’t now. They were slow with the t6c acquisition in game and still slow with it outside of deals and people being able to r5 and r2 champs the way they did with those July 4th deals changed everything and for big accounts because at this point they think 6* even ascended are nothing much because they beat everything, own all the champs and buy everything so the only thing for them to chase is 7* champs and the content creators don’t help with this because they are pushing this 6* champs are dead and people who shouldn’t be worried about that think this is true but for those content creators and whales this is reality for them. If this event was progression based it’s the only way to make all lvls happy.

I will struggle to R2, R4,R5 any champion!!….. no one cares or asked for T4a.
Increase the amount of T3a and T6b! I will spend the minimum required to help my alliance and that’s it…. Because it’s gonna suck getting T2a and T5b when I just sell them.
champs) and it might have some allure. Otherwise, it’s a nexus iso+gold+shards crystal for many players.

Think of how progression was for players when 5* came out and how long it took for people to get rank up material! I know things are different but I think pacing the game progression like back then could help!
Not knowing, maybe you’re now focusing on new players but even then, some of the math doesn’t add up even for someone who’s progressed a bit (Uncollected/ Cavalier)! Logic is that investing 10k units in progression will give you better rewards than the solo milestones! Worse still for Throne breaker and those who’ve recently become paragon! I mean paragon gauntlet rewards are way better, and let’s not even talk of necropolis!
And you might be saying there’s also rewards from the GGCs but those are random and you can’t control what you get. Also apart from the completion and exploration rewards there’s also the in path items, which all look better than some of the stuff on offer in the crystals.
Lastly once you get to higher progression, battlegrounds and glory store also offer some of these things you’re offering here!
I get that there are people who had progressed and you needed to give them content to work on, but I think this is the point where you guys really need to put your thinking caps on, because you’re right in saying you can’t just flood the game with certain items, that would be suicidal. But I feel there needs to be that balance between rewards from in game content and what you get from these events. This year I hate to say it but there was a bit of a party foul ito what you released and how easy it was to then progress. You need to go back to the table, hint hint, remember how long it took to get and rank up 4* then 5* to max, I think the same should have been the case for 6*. It should have taken a bit longer to just get as many 6* let alone rank them up to R3 and 4!
- Unit cost reduced to 200
- Remove t5b and t2a
- Lock the event behind progression
- Increase t6b and t3a
- Increase 7-star shards to 1500 or 3000 (could trade off t4a)
- Improve the alliance event rewards, 1/4 of t6b and t3a is laughable
- Everything Jefechuta outlined in his post
- Remove the 6-star awakening gems in the milestones and replace with rank gems
- Add ascension mats and titan shards to upper levels of solo milestones
- Restore points for consumable purchases
- Increase r2 mats
- Change the abyss Nexus to a 7star crystal (it’s just iso for many players)
- Change a 6-star awakening gem to a max sig gem
- Increase the quantity of 6-star shards if they need to stay
- Overhaul the milestone rewards because they are essentially a copy-paste from last year
- Change the rank rewards for anyone not blowing their life savings because they are laughable
There are probably many more but I'm busy today and don't have time to do more
The same issue than all previous years but it's became more problematic, they give the same crystal and milestone for all, and the idea of end content players just need to spent more unit and go throught useless rewards that's bad
It's more profitable to build loyalty towards newer player and they don't hide it.
Well for me it's a win, they push me to became free to play, thank you kabam,
The daily crystals I get are better than almost every reward in this event.
The alliance event the 3rd best reward is a 6 star abyss nexus. But I have all the 6 stars and most valiant and older paragons do.
I feel like kabam is just trying to rip me off now. I am so sick of dealing with the bs support, the bugs, and now all this extra **** that I am done spending and very tempted just to dispute all the charges I made during cyber weekend.
Kabam should want to make their customers happy because happy customers equal more money but instead kabam treats their customers like garbage, and blatantly spits in their faces with things like this.
It’s simple really. Last year you had just introduced rank 5 6*s and solo milestones gave 1/3 of the rarest resource needed for rank 4. This year you have just introduced rank 3 7*s so the solo milestones should give 1/3 of the rarest resource needed for 7* rank 2 (or 6* rank 5). There should be at least a T6C crystal in the milestones for the same amount of unit spend that T3A and T6B were available last year.
The event where you will feel like an uncollected player
then you cutoff all r3 materials all together no t4 catalyst for rank 91 😂 like the sadness a player getting 91 must hurt so much,
rank 90 full r3 gem
rank 91 well 6*s are great again lol
what ever happened to diminishing returns this instead goes from hero ti zero in one single rank.
All the 7* goodness is above rank 90 anything lower than rank 91 and your essentially lost the game
and same with 7* crystals, top 90 titan selector lower ranks than 91 your basically Cavalier at this level lol
If kabam doesn't make any changes at all to this event, they can be sure that the revenue for this period of the year will drop drastically compared with 2022's
Don't get me wrong kabam, i wanna spend my units and participate in this event, but i wanna do it when it's worth it....in the solo event i simply don't care about the milestones from 3º-14º (excluding deathless tina) and that's insane, that's 11 rewards that i simply don't have that many use, then why would i spend my units?
No hope here... I think people should be smart enough to respond with similar response with wallet...
Happy Holidays to all....
