I understand why they have dialled back the rewards, this making in game content the main route to the highest progression. However, if this is case and they have no plan on changing the rewards before the event starts, then they cannot place a 300 unit price tag to these crystals. Some of the contents within the GBC you can obtain at quarter of the price or just selling items within your inventory. 300 units for 1 GBC is extortionate
Seeing the solo rank rewards it is clear that this event is focused in the battle for top 1 spender in the game. The only good thing in the crystals for that people is t4a, and a little amount of them, so they have to buy a lot of this crystals to have a decent amount of t4a, and to finish in the top-1

Give them time to think of counter reply. It's like there are in Kabam HQ with the door sealed and a wild riot is outside. I think saying GQC costs 200 units or less would save them as it's not mentioned.
I think Kabam have thrown any attempt to rectify this whole debacle into the too-hard-basket, not to be heard from again until the holidays are done and dusted.
So Thanos and Kang will be first sig 200 7*s. I m also imagining a sig 200 7* Groot or Iron Patriot. It's like "Yeah they ain't cool and all but take 11 of those. Feel Better?". Perhaps if those players get awakening rewards as well that will be fine with the titan shards and iso

I think the #1 rated account in terms of account size already has some r200 7 stars. I saw him on a battlerealm brawl video talking about it.

I don’t think we are going to like the response. If something was incorrect, they would have responded by now. Hoping they are going to revamp the rewards to something meaningful isn’t gonna happen.

Yep, it’s baked in now. Pretty sure they knew it wouldn’t be received well and took that into their calculations when making the event.
We are just affirming what they knew the reaction would be. Hopefully something meaningful is out there in the future for those who grinded, paid for, and prepped with units. My concern is that isn’t the case. This has been the best unit event on the calendar… not this year.

200 units doesn’t save the event either.
fr bruh we need like the lowest amount of 7* shards to be 3.5k and the highest should be 15k and I do not have any 7* yet but its so disapointing
@Kabam Miike /Jax ... can you please clarify if banquet event will no longer give points for buying consumables for yourself (boosts, cores, revives, potions, etc)
Making them cost 100-120 units feels a lot better but then again I wouldn't enjoy getting T2AC fractions or even full given that people are already valiants. They released 7*s and not even a year in, we already see r3 7*. The way the game pace is going is we gonna have 8* r2's by next July and I'm not even kidding. If I was a whale I would just buy sh*t ton of these and open them trough out the year when I need gold, T5CC, T4AC, etc. and munch on the peasants in BG and AW whole year round. As. I love the game and I won't quit the game because of a dud event, I just enjoy doing my things regardless of where other people are. However you just don't spend money if you don't like what you see, you don't order a burger if you don't like burgers. And if majority of the people don't like burgers, the house eventually would have to start making stuff other than burgers, it's that simple.
Needless to say it’s been disappointing since cyber weekend they claim they are slowing down on rewards but the 9th aniversary should have been a bit better unless ur grinding arena which most people don’t because of rosters u not collecting units u have to spend units to get a 7 star u have to bank on your alliance to participate as well to progress . I know most of kabam staff disagree with these rewards but those in control gotta listen for once baquet has always been great until now yeah u got rid of gifting but gifting coulda been nerfed like 10 points or something to prevent people from manipulating the point system we already getting revive nerds etc so coulda kept it so people could progress their accounts

They're just gonna copy and paste the same lame-ass "We understand and will take it into consideration for next time blah blah blah." So the length of time it's taking for even that is extraordinary

I would expect some orange text from Miike saying you are setting your expectations high and stuff. These days he is in full Apoc persona with take it or leave it thing addressing AW holiday, cyber week, Deathless piece, taking away champ etc.
But then Kabam Jax is guardian, it could that they tell nothing and in livestream Jax says GQC costs 150 units and we didn't tell early to keep it a surprise. But chances for later are slim.
Valiant is a title that’s barely a month old. 7*’s are barely a year old. People complaining about the milestone rewards are out of touch. Just because you just got Valiant does not mean more r3’s are immediately available (with the exception of an additional r3 from Cyber Weekend).
Kabam Crashed even admitted that the pace of 7*s will decrease going forward. Sometimes we as a community act like spoiled brats. We could have gotten the best LEGO set for Christmas and the immediate response is “We want more! We should have gotten more!” Sometimes we’re not grateful as a community.

And I would agree with you if these weren't 300 per piece sir. Why would I spend 300 units for T2A when I can buy it for 60 glory, please don't tell me the gold and iso added justify the 300 units cuz it doesn't. They just shot themself in the leg with these early 7* rank resources release. You want people too feel good about getting 6* shards and resources while you already have plenty of valiants with r3 7*. And no, I'm not complaining, I don't like complaining especially knowing there is a free to play node around, just stating the obvious objectively.

You’re not buying GBC’s for the T2A, you’re buying them for a *chance* at high ticketed items like T6B and T3A. And if you’re a whale? You’re going for the *elusive* chance at the T4 Alpha. I don’t think your point stands because Paragon crystals exist.
Using your logic, why buy a Paragon if you’re *most likely* going to get a 4 and 5*? Well you’re most likely opening them because you want to test your luck at getting the 7*. What is the side effect of opening a lot of paragons? Items like ISO which can be converted to gold and used for leveling up.
Likewise, the side effect of opening GBCs are the milestones and other rewards you get from GBCs.
Thanks for making the banquet rewards low end… I just bought an Xbox series X with the money I was planning on spending in the banquet! ✌️
I see the gta-6 trailer really is pushing the sale numbers up. 📈
Yes and I won’t have to worry about Kabam Mike “GTA” my XBox like it were a 6star max sig Hercules or something… unless there’s a break in at my house on Christmas Eve…

Why would I purchase multiple GBCs with a ridiculous rng and spend hundreds when I can buy the all year round offers for $20.00 like the one that's running right now and it gives you 1 + 1/2 t3a, 1+1/2 t6bc, t5cc and 2x t5bc. I don't think you have any clue what's that about. I can't wait to see the drop rates for t4ac, it's gonna be 1% so you basically are spending sh*t ton of units for the items I listed above. Hint: you don't have to drop a hondo for em. It sure is banquet event but not for the players.
@Taintman Exactly! Buying $20 for the offer today is better than buying $100 worth of these GBC. The same could be said for paragon crystals. If you told me that there would be offers for $100 to buy the champion I want, or buy $100 worth of Paragon crystals for a *chance at the champion I want... No brainer.

If it does get stolen you can use insurance to get it back... Not sure it works the same for pixels on an app
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.
Hey Miike, one of the gripes people bring up is the same milestones as last year. For example, in the alliance milestones, we get 1/4 of a T6B and T3A which is the same as last years. Why wasn’t that bumped up to a whole one or at least 2?
I have no issues with the milestones or change in amount of crystals to obtain the top milestones. I believe the issue is around the rewards within the crystals.
Although the rewards have improved, they haven't moved at the same pace as the chase rewards. This year I think the 7 star shards are very low, both basic and titan. Agree that we shouldn't speed up progression too much hence I'm with you on limiting the 7r3 materials (even though mega whales will get them as long as they are available).
For instance… if you spend enough to get to the 1% tier, you will be able to
- take 1 6 star to rank 5 - You only are halfway to the necessary class cats for a rank 2 7 star - you get 1/3 of a 7 star - You get 1/20 of Titan crystal - 2 T6 basic and 2T3 alpha a total that doesn’t even rank a 6 star to R4
Also with ANOTHER 6 star awakening gem. More nexus 6 stars.
I don’t know how many units it takes to get to that bundle… but spot 2,601 isn’t just completing the milestones. That’s a ton of units for not a lot of stuff.
With the crystals give you a small chance at 1,500 7 star shards and 600 titan shards as premium items… even the RNG luck being on your side isn’t going to get you multiple of these crystals.
I am not interested in a 6 star chase event. That’s what this feels like. I am not asking for R3 stuff. I did expect more in ways ranking R5 6 stars or r2 7 stars. I also expected 7 star acquisition to be there with making a dent in approaching my second titan crystal. This event doesn’t do that.

How much do the greater banquet crystals cost?
And is it too late to change any parts of the event?
Thanks for the reply
