Holiday Bundles - Feeling a Bit Gypped Here

As someone who spent $250 on units just a few days ago to spend on Greater Banquet Crystals, seeing these Holiday Bundles roll out today with extra rewards in them has me feeling like a bait and switch. Why wouldn't these offers have gone live with the rest of the Banquet Event?

Feels like a cheap shot.

As harsh at it may sound, its because they knew people like you would fall for it

Ideally these offers should start banquet day 1. But it's business.

The holiday bundles for tb are a little lacking 6* shards but I need units so I might buy a few idk tho

Yes, I get that it's business. Just generally annoyed that these offers didn't go live with the event. Just makes me not want to spend in the future.

That doesn't seem much in the spirit of holiday cheer.

Tbf, they been doing unit deals every year around Christmas Day for as long as I can remember so anyone in your position and been playing the game longer than a year only have themselves to blame for rushing into banquet rather than waiting

Well the last few years there always ben holidays spending why would u also go all out one day 1 though there 14 day of the event not saying it was bad

The only question I have regarding the bundles, is that typically the ones in game and the ones in the summoner's market are mutually exclusive. I bought one in the game before going to market and just realized that the ones offered in the market were updated to reflect the purchase limit minus the one I already purchased in game.

That was an unexpected change.

Also, OP, just in case you weren't aware, the term "gypped" is pretty derogatory.

I did the same, bought 2 Odins yesterday as the summoners market had no inclination of there being bundles until this morning. Feel like ive been fobbed off abit but i guess its too late now.

Sadly, Kabam doesn't really care if it's the holiday season. To them, it's a chance to make more money.

Making the transition to F2P has been easier lately

I've been playing the game for 8 years. This is my first time spending on holiday deals. And, to my knowledge, isn't banquet only a couple years old now?

Not really it just changed name before it was gifting event

I spend a bit to and I’m honestly kinda peved. I missed out on like 1000 extra units and half a seven star. With a thousand extra units would have gotten me the last solo milestone. Feels super scummy on kabams part. What reason could they possibly have to not start the bonus deals on day one of banquet. Other than to pretty much scam people. I genuinely feel a bit robbed.

Lovejoy72

Huh. That’s not really a phrase anyone uses anymore. For variety of reasons.

Typhoon

I just read up on the word and understand now that it has derogatory meaning. Was not the intention, so I do apologize. I would change the word to "misled."

Wubbie075

Or, you all could have just waited.

They usually have the 10 GBC offer live at a different time from the unit deals. After the unit deals go away the 10 GBC deal will probably come back.

Never seen the word gypped spelled out before tbh. Wild

Shamir51

They’ve done this the last few years to be fair. 10 x GGC/GBC bundle first up. Unit deals with added extras a little while later.

There's literally no reason to not release extra unit bundles along Banquet other than Kabam wanting to do, "Gotcha 😉"
