**Arcade is being extra tricky with his Murder Box...**
It appears Arcade has been non-cooperative in his approach to this month's side quest and presented his clues in a nonsensical order. Lucky you, Summoners, we have our best and brightest on the case and those clues should now be a lot more straightforward. While messing around in Arcade's files we came across a phrase, highlighted and bolded, with sparkles and pointy arrows: "the abode for the dead" ... Maybe that will help you along the way!

Please just leave if you're going to act like a little child
And besides all of that, the marketing team likely has NOTHING to do with this. This is on the people that are in charge of game economy, not the people making the cinematics for the marketing and stuff
My constructive criticism is how this affects me as an end game player. I was ready to throw down during this event, got a little over 10k units and usually will spend a couple hundred dollars. There is nothing exciting about this event for me. I don’t care about 6 stars anymore, especially picking up new 6 stars that are/will be available as 7 stars. I want to focus on ranking up my 7 stars, but first I need more 7 star champions to care about. With the introduction of 7 stars and a progression title tied to ranking up those 7 stars, that’s where the focus is. I have almost every 6 star there is, so those juicy nexus crystals you speak of, really translate to iso, gold, and a couple 7 star shards.
I know this event needs to cater to everyone, I’m just explaining why I’m not excited. A lot of the top tier players probably spend to be at the top, and I bet a lot feel the way I do.
Endgame players and whales are forcing Kabam to rush the game and it’s part of a huge issue they have.
They went from underwhelming deals back in the day for the longest time straight to July 4th deals that were way over the top and now it’s an issue.
One other thing that can’t be stressed enough: upgrading the GBC’s is great, but leaving a significant degree of event enjoyment up to RNG is silly. Anyone who’s played this game for more than a few months understands top shelf crystal drops are a *snowball in Hades* kind of chance. It’s frustrating that Miike even includes that point in his defense of the event.

— Paragon players are finished with 6* champs. All the abyss crystals in the world aren’t worth much anymore, except the chance to dupe a max sig champ and get more 7* shards
— Add more t6b, t3a and t6cc
— Add more 7* shards, throw some Titan shards in as well
Ball’s in your court.
But the majority of the player base who would care enough to come here and express their opinions are Paragons and higher, which this event rewards are Not mostly tuned for. If it was completely "free" event like Chinese new year quests and envelopes, nobody cares if items there were underwhelming, take it or leave it. But one of the most expectable holiday events should not be a disappointment in a bigger picture in my opinion.
It is not that summoners got too greedy or spoiled, it is the expectation bar that was set by drastic economy change in the last year. Sure, rewards are better than last year's Banquet event, more milestones, more itmes in the ranked rewards. But mostly, and it is like 80% of the player base if not more, feel like they won't benefit from this event much by spending their hardly earned or purchased units unless one would be super lucky with the Banquet crystals themselves. THAT is what is underwhelming, the expectation that my account won't progress much if I'll spend 10k units with today's economy unless I'll pull 7* items left and right in my GBCs.
Please let me know what am I missing.
@Kabam Miike
This year though it just doesn't really feel very special. The things that I want the most (7* shards / titan shards/ t6cc fragments) are tucked in GBC's and drop rates/RNG doesn't provide for those rewards in quantities worth being excited about. I can't imagine anyone's thrilled about 21/23 GBC's effectively being lumps of coal. I preferred when Christmas was a slight reprieve from the frequently depressing RNG.
(Example: I'm sitting at 0/21 on the new featured crystal-- that's 315,000 6* shards of disappointment to help support how I (and I think many others) feel about seeing 6* shards in the banquet rewards)
I think that it should've been possible to structure meaningful "within progression-level" rewards that would have been appreciated without really breaking the game. As has been said, most paragons now have rostered most 6* champs and are simply working through ranking their preferred ones to r4/r5.
I'm a modest paragon player. I have 3 6*r5's, 20ish r4's, and around 12x 7* champs with one at r2. I would've really looked forward to a premium 7* and/or the opportunity to take a champ to r5/r2, or ascend a few champs, but I don't think any of those things would've necessarily hyper-accelerated my account. Instead, I just see an event with rewards that I can economically get elsewhere in the game on a non-holiday week.
There have been some pretty good "action items" mentioned elsewhere here by people smarter than me, but I just wanted to share my 2 cents on why this year's event does feel a bit like a letdown.
I can’t speak for every paragon player, but everyone I’ve spoken to has an overflow of 6* awakening gems, These are not a win. I have 10 generics. T5b and T2a are a joke to have a prizes. Event 15k of 6* is just thought of potential dupes for 7* shards. Abyss nexus crystals were great years ago. Now, the only 6* champion I’d care about getting is Kate Bishop, but it’s not worth going through the milestones, spending all those units and getting loads of T5b and T2a that’s just going to be sold. 6* crystals are just for dupes for 7* shards at this point. There’s to much wrong with the event to really start on where to fix it, but I’d start with splitting the event based on progression.
I think the question Kabam needs to reflect on is from a Paragon / Valiant perspective is there anything that the crystals and milestones offer that is worth the risk of spending units. For me there is almost no value to this event. If you are a whale pushing for top 90, that’s where the value is. Outside of that it’s not evolved to where we currently are.
Imagine players dedicating countless hours to this game, reaching the pinnacle of Valiant status and tackling Everest content, only to be "rewarded" with this abysmal Banquet event.
Kabam's deafening silence since the announcement has been truly baffling. I recall a forum representative stating that they wouldn't speak if they had nothing to say. While understandable, the growing silence is becoming increasingly disconcerting for many players. It feels like we've been completely ignored, especially considering this event represents a significant annual milestone for the game. This decision, despite my past financial support, has forced me to completely reconsider my spending habits. I spent roughly $7,000 during last year's event and much more throughout, but this year all I plan to do is purchase an Odin (even with their undoubtedly terrible offer) and focus on using credits to finish Necropolis. Well done, Kabam.
My constructive recommendation is to adjust crystals according to progression, so that i won’t ever get one t5b catalyst for 300 credits as a Valiant player. You still can keep other offers but please remove spit on the face items from the crystal.
He said they are confused and think they improved every aspect of the event from last year.
He did ask for actionable suggestions and many have given those.
More 7* availability, 7*R2 materials, 6* 3-4 and 4-5 gems to save catalysts for 7* champs, more ascension dust, etc and less T5B/T2A.
Hoping for good..!
