Yes, clearly everyone who is upset with the banquet rewards haven’t touched necropolis. That’s a brilliant take.

Probably should try to read more posts and respond less until you grasp what is going on.

Yeah I've scrolled thru a few pages of the info post and I see a lot of this.

"Banquet rewards trash, I'm gonna spend my units on Necropolis"

So those people haven't done Necropolis 100%, which is literally the new piece of content that is designed for high level accounts. People just expect Banquet to have the same rewards as that, because it's obviously easy for unit grinders to amass thousands of units and buy offers instead of doing the difficult content.

And not to mention the rewards in January for Necro completion, what more do y'all srsly want?
7 star r3 gems, titan crystals, champ selectors or wtv for 5k units in the solo milestones?

no we just don’t like to spend unit one thing we can getting from a daily cystal (Valaint) here so for me that’s a let down literally no point for me to trow unit one it there could buffet the cystal to contain r5 random gem to 6 star.

Despite all of your false premises here…. I’ll just ask: Where were your concerns and tongue lashings during cyber week deals that were far superior in unit offers to the banquet? I assume those are in the other …. 6 posts you ever made on the forums, right?

Gods sake, you can’t BE valiant without doing Necropolis. At least one path is required for the title if you bought the other R3. Otherwise, they did 100%.

The event appears to be targeted to a) not distract end game folks away from necro and b) elevate cav/tb out of dated progression titles.

Most of the folks at the far end have been participating in this event for years and years. And look forward to it. It’s odd to have started the year by doing EOP, ending by doing necro, and finding I’ve grown out of the current banquet event by doing so?

False premises? Explain how so

Personally, I didn't have any problems with Cyber Week, and frankly most players weren't expecting anything insane, most were looking forward to Banquet. But the amount of backlash for Banquet is far more, even though it's not warranted at all; it's just a bunch of complaining for more and more and more.

With those 480 posts, you must have been around for long, so you can atleast come with a counter-argument, right?

Then...don't spend? Banquet GBCs have never been the main point of discussion, it's been the solo and alliance milestones. Kabam didn't add all that stuff to Banquet because theres Necro, Cyber Week that recently happened, and rewards coming in January for those who did Necro.

Yes, necro should be the main goal of everyone. Almost everyone who's been trashing on banquet is like "I'll go spend my units in Necro". That's literally what players have wanted, right? An event that you don't have to merely just spend on to get the best rewards, but actually partake in.

But when Kabam tries to do that, everyone gets mad they cant just spend in Banquet and get the same rewards.
You haven't "grown out of" Banquet, you can still get an abyss nexus and an exclusive 7 star from it. Thing is, because Necro was released, Kabam isn't gonna make Banquet as op for the high level players. You get one thing and lose another, you can't have both, there's gonna be balance.

Ashacekar

Banquet milestones should be progression specific. Now thinking about it, this is the reason they couldn't increase T6B and T3A because you TB would get it easy.

I have every 6* in the game, aside from a couple just released (I do have Onslaught). They are all awakened. I need 6* crystals for 7* shards alone. I can’t use any rank up materials that aren’t used for 7*s. To be clear, my Valiant daily crystal is better than almost anything in a banquet crystal. I pulled a full T6b today. I cant use anything in any milestones short of the last two.

I’ll invest enough in the event to help some of the smaller accounts in my ally. But, it’s not a good use of my units. And it’s not going to be particularly fun? That’s the problem, this isn’t a joy for me. That’s the complaint. This isn’t about pragmatics or balance? It just won’t be much fun. Not much to argue there.

Your idea of fun is getting everything you want handed to you by Kabam. It doesn't work like that lol. Just because valiants or big paragons are craving more 7 star r2, 6 star r5, or 7 star r3 rankups, and those resources aren't found in Banquet, doesn't make the event any less "fun" or "trash". Most players will still benefit and be happy with this event. You've simply just done most of the game, and you will have to just wait for more content to be introduced.

What is fun about spending units on a crystal for items I don’t need? That is inherently “trash” for me. Maybe not for lower accounts. And remember, this event will be gone in a few weeks, the stuff you keep saying is for me like necropolis is here forever. You get to do that some day (if you want ). But I don’t get this back.

Shiroihara

You’re criticising the lack of sense of community in Paragon a Valiant players while at the same time giving your approval to an event that completely leaves them out.
Those players were arguably the ones that would push for ranked rewards but I’m not so sure now.
I’d say people that are used to throw money around like peanuts will still not care but there will be a dip in the usual spending.

Jhenny

High paragon and valiant players forget that there are people of other progression levels who actually play the game.

For all of y'all, Kabam released Necropolis like a month ago, and instead of trying to do that everyone trashes on banquet for not having the same rewards that can be bought with units. People just want to buy 7 star rank up gems and 7 star crystals instead of actually playing for them. There's literally no content in this game that needs a roster of straight up 7 star r3s, and Kabam did the right thing by not making Banquet an event for that.

For everyone else, Banquet is great for getting champs, even just in the alliance milestones. Spending around 1k units in an active alliance for a 7 star crystal (that contains all good champs) and an abyss nexus is still great for a lot of people, because not everyone whales out on cyber weekend or july 4th to get whatever champs they're missing.

Community full of big hypocrites. Gets mad when Kabam throws out huge whale events for good rewards. But then get mad when they have to do a difficult piece of content to get those same rewards. Too funny lmao

Literally no one wants 7 star rank 3s from banquet event, for even thinking that that's why we people are upset i'm questioning if you are a kabam employee with an alt account. reason why people are upset is that, the rewards were not updated. the contest grows and some materials decrease in value, yet kabam is charging the same amount for the same rewards as last year. kabam's words "you are getting exactly the same amount of milestones and rewards as last year, why are you upset". those things are not as valuable anymore, so the quantity of those items needs to be increased for economy to even make sense.we are getting charged the same **** amount of units, for same **** as last year.

Nemesis_17

Looks like Golivarez snuck through again.

the_eradicator

Came here to press on the disagree button, for your L take.
Are you some new player who just started playing and thinks Kabam should stop giving meaningful rewards...because the players in the lower progression levels are getting blown over by how fast the game is progressing?

Well how about this ? Kabam sets the pace and the economy for the game. They introduced 7*s in the game even before people had a full team of 5 6* rank 5s. They are the ones rushing it.
And now suddenly they want to pull all the stops because they thought it was going too fast ? Ohh please.
The people who spend money will spend regardless...in the current state of the game...the banquet rewards should have been better no matter what. You got ratioed ...that should already explain enough

I don’t understand this perspective at all.

There is nothing I can do to make this event relevant to me, no matter how much I might it to be. I can take no positive action to get there, and in fact, all of the positive actions I took prior is what drug me away from it. And all of the actions I took are in fact available to absolutely everyone in the game.

Necro is relevant to anyone who chooses it to be. At this point in the game the only thing anyone needs to get paragon is to finish 8.2. In fact, the banquet event itself will undoubtedly give out enough six star materials to get people what they need to be paragon, aside from completing 8.2. People could quickly get paragon, do a lane of Necro, and get those same rewards from the road to the crypt event. That means people are simply choosing not to engage with that part of the game. And would rather absorb these heightened materials from the banquet event then doing the story content necessary to achieve them.

That is, in fact what’s happening. The upside of the banquet event is that it isn’t progression based, which means it breaks the progression model of awards and over-rewards lower progression titles. I would also point out that this is the last time this will ever happen, as the clear indication is that next year these will be progress gated.

So maybe at the end of the day this really isn’t such a bad thing. MCOC wants endgame players to engage with endgame contents to get rewards. And then leaves the passive award gathering process to groups who actively avoid achieving necessary milestones in the game. Fair enough.

Gods sake, you can’t BE valiant without doing Necropolis. At least one path is required for the title if you bought the other R3. Otherwise, they did 100%.

But when Kabam tries to do that, everyone gets mad they cant just spend in Banquet and get the same rewards.
You haven't "grown out of" Banquet, you can still get an abyss nexus and an exclusive 7 star from it. Thing is, because Necro was released, Kabam isn't gonna make Banquet as op for the high level players. You get one thing and lose another, you can't have both, there's gonna be balance.
I have every 6* in the game, aside from a couple just released (I do have Onslaught). They are all awakened. I need 6* crystals for 7* shards alone. I can’t use any rank up materials that aren’t used for 7*s. To be clear, my Valiant daily crystal is better than almost anything in a banquet crystal. I pulled a full T6b today. I cant use anything in any milestones short of the last two.

I’ll invest enough in the event to help some of the smaller accounts in my ally. But, it’s not a good use of my units. And it’s not going to be particularly fun? That’s the problem, this isn’t a joy for me. That’s the complaint. This isn’t about pragmatics or balance? It just won’t be much fun. Not much to argue there.
Your idea of fun is getting everything you want handed to you by Kabam. It doesn't work like that lol. Just because valiants or big paragons are craving more 7 star r2, 6 star r5, or 7 star r3 rankups, and those resources aren't found in Banquet, doesn't make the event any less "fun" or "trash". Most players will still benefit and be happy with this event. You've simply just done most of the game, and you will have to just wait for more content to be introduced.
Aren't you happy because you are getting good value for your units from the banquet? That's what Paragon and valiant players want a good return for their units which they aren't getting.
Paragon and valiant are the highest progression levels in the game. A good return for their units would be Necropolis, content made exclusively for them. On top of the Necro rewards, they'll also get Road to The Crypt rewards, which the other progression levels aren't getting either.

If they've finished all that, they just need to wait, because they've reached the highest point in the game, and content isn't going to magically appear as they please.

I don’t understand this perspective at all.

There is nothing I can do to make this event relevant to me, no matter how much I might it to be. I can take no positive action to get there, and in fact, all of the positive actions I took prior is what drug me away from it. And all of the actions I took are in fact available to absolutely everyone in the game.

Necro is relevant to anyone who chooses it to be. At this point in the game the only thing anyone needs to get paragon is to finish 8.2. In fact, the banquet event itself will undoubtedly give out enough six star materials to get people what they need to be paragon, aside from completing 8.2. People could quickly get paragon, do a lane of Necro, and get those same rewards from the road to the crypt event. That means people are simply choosing not to engage with that part of the game. And would rather absorb these heightened materials from the banquet event then doing the story content necessary to achieve them.

That is, in fact what’s happening. The upside of the banquet event is that it isn’t progression based, which means it breaks the progression model of awards and over-rewards lower progression titles. I would also point out that this is the last time this will ever happen, as the clear indication is that next year these will be progress gated.

So maybe at the end of the day this really isn’t such a bad thing. MCOC wants endgame players to engage with endgame contents to get rewards. And then leaves the passive award gathering process to groups who actively avoid achieving necessary milestones in the game. Fair enough.

Yep, that's pretty much what I was saying. Could've phrased it a bit better but yeah.

Came here to press on the disagree button, for your L take.
Are you some new player who just started playing and thinks Kabam should stop giving meaningful rewards...because the players in the lower progression levels are getting blown over by how fast the game is progressing?

Well how about this ? Kabam sets the pace and the economy for the game. They introduced 7*s in the game even before people had a full team of 5 6* rank 5s. They are the ones rushing it.
And now suddenly they want to pull all the stops because they thought it was going too fast ? Ohh please.
The people who spend money will spend regardless...in the current state of the game...the banquet rewards should have been better no matter what. You got ratioed ...that should already explain enough

No, I've been playing for 3 years and I'm in the process of 100% Necropolis.

Yes, they did do things to accelerate progression, but they're scaling back. It is their game, but moreover they put out rewards in the thought of easing complainers like you, in the form of Necro and Road to the Crypt. But clearly, that didn't work, because people just expected more and more from Banquet. Players that aren't at Paragon or Valiant levels don't need all their resources and rewards, they're already getting a 7 star which could be huge for them.

Banquet has always been open to all tiers of progression, because almost every other event or sale in the game is progression-locked, and because of Necro releasing close to Banquet, Kabam is pushing high level players to do that instead of Banquet. Don't worry, since all the top level players do is cry and complain for almost every event, I'm sure something is coming soon that will compensate your hurt feelings because of Banquet.

Thank goodness someone brought this back to the front page so we could get some more ecumenical perspectives from the OP.
