Already SOL in Magic Heist Solo Event?

Looking at Magic Heist solo event, I have 5 points, and there are 17 days left in the event. I wasn’t really sure how I was getting the points, but now realize it is from these new special daily objectives that I thought were just for the raffle for a 7 star. There are only 2 of these each day, so my 5 points plus 17x2 = 39 points… 1 short of the final reward milestone, which is a very significant reward. Am I already SOL on being able to complete the event and achieve the 4-5 rank up gem? If so, why was this event created with such stringent constraints? I am sure I am not the only player who had no idea they needed to be sure to complete a few arenas matches every day. I saw the duration of the event and the arena and assumed I had the 20ish days to grind and complete everything for it.

Same thing has happened to me, I work nights and JUST missed finishing 1 fight for the day , Now im not getting that 4-5 rank up gem, Never felt so unmotivated to play again.

Yeah this daily objective feels a lot more punishing than previous iterations. I missed a day so now I have no wiggle room

They are daily objectives, I think that it is obvious that they need to be completed daily

Max points are 42 and you get the gem at 40, so you can miss up to 2 objectives

Yeah I’m at 8 right now but I have a trip coming up that’s gonna eat up two days so having no wiggle room at all is not a fun feeling. I have no idea why they didn’t allow the objectives to build up to two days like previous daily events

Oh! I must have miscalculated the points you get. Guess I better be extra careful and set alarms then.

Don't read 2 objectives as two grace days.
It's still the equivalent of one grace day because both objectives fill at 6 fights, so it's both or none on a single day.

That’s not how other Daily Objectives work. They roll over continuously until completed. There is a limit of 3 at a time, but they are not immediately lost if not completed that day. Similarly the daily objectives that have come from the Platinum track. Have always had a couple days to complete each.

All you need to do is 6 fights with at least 6 7 stars or 3 6 stars and 3 7 stars daily and you get your points

Agree it’s not difficult to do, but I didn’t know it needed to be done every day to get full rewards. If I had known, I would have done this. Now I’ve missed a couple days at the very beginning and am already SOL to get full rewards. I am sure many other players are in the same situation and also bet many who are don’t even know it yet. There will be more posts like this of disappointed players closer to the end of the event.

Unfortunately that's how the objectives are designed so it is what it is and always read the forum posts and announcements with great attention along with youtube videos

I was tensed about not having enough points since Maybe I missed a day somewhere in the beginning
But Ig I don't have to worry since my points are even

That’s not how other Daily Objectives work. They roll over continuously until completed. There is a limit of 3 at a time, but they are not immediately lost if not completed that day. Similarly the daily objectives that have come from the Platinum track. Have always had a couple days to complete each.

All objectives have a certain limit to how they stack, and that limit is different for different objectives. The gold/platinum ones you’re referring to have a stack limit of two, and they come out one at a time. If you do not do at least one and free a slot, you lose the next one. However, the battleground objectives do not stack; they come out every two days and any objective you do not do before it is refreshed blocks the next one, and that next one is subsequently lost.

The magic heist related special objectives seem to have a queue limit of two, and every day one pops out for Paragon and one for Valiant, and if you do not do them before the next day you will lose the next one, much like Battlegrounds objectives work.

The requirements for the top tier reward are very stringent, but the reward itself is also extremely valuable. There are not many comparable analogs for such a reward to be acquirable easily. The actual effort itself is trivial; the difficulty comes from sustaining consistency in performing the objectives. It takes just a few minutes, and no one, no matter how busy, doesn’t have a free four or five minutes out of their day. They eat, they use the bathroom, they sleep. If a player fails to do this (and they were capable in the first place) they either forgot, which is 100% on them, or they chose not to dedicate the time which is also 100% on them, or they failed to check the requirements in the first place, which is arguably less on them if they were not primed to double check such things on the very first day of new content, but that is unfortunately unavoidable without giving enough grace days so as to make the effort required to get that reward too trivial to justify the reward value.

Damn. Things have escalated a lot.

How many point paragon+ players get if they completed all objectives upto this date? 8 or 10?

.

The gold/platinum track objectives not only each had an extra day grace period, but the track progression also had extra grace days so you could miss a few and still get to the final reward. Why wasn’t this done similarly? Battleground objectives even have two days to complete, not just one day, and they aren’t required as progression towards a final reward milestone.

I hope there will be some opportunity to complete additional objectives besides the two per day we’re getting now. I don’t know any other content with rewards like this that screwed a player out of them just because the player didn’t know to do something the very first day it came out. It’s not that I wasn’t playing the game, it’s that I simply didn’t know I needed to be sure to do this one new, very easy thing every day.

I also only have 6 points so I missed some. The timer is misleading and I generally feel fooled. It is what it is

I don’t know of any content with rewards like this at all, that require virtually no effort or skill to get, that are as massively progressionally significant.

A 4->5 rank up gem for just logging in every day and doing two rounds of arena is already astounding and unprecedented. Precisely how much easier do you believe such a reward should be?

As I said, I have some sympathy for the “first day” miss. But I don’t know how to resolve that in a way that would be reasonable for the value of the reward.

Obviously you're not up to the task. Some nerve having a life when kabam wants you not only in game daily but keeping their task in mind. Get your priorities straight and you'll be fine.

You do realize we're talking about a video game right? Always read the forums with great attention and watch YT? On an event where if you missed the first day or two its a wrap? Great advice if you're day revolves around mcoc 😄

Then why complain? If you don’t care enough to read about the events, then just accept that you missed a reward and move on

As someone who also currently can't get the r5 gem, here are my thoughts. There are very rarely these types of quests where you have to do it every day to get the top rewards. So now to have this type of quest (which since its very rare people don't expect) and then have the top reward be so valuable, it just isn't sensible. They should have made it more clear somehow. Maybe instead of that stupid Prime pop-up when you open the game, make a pop-up saying the objectives have to be met every day, or else you're screwed.

The fact the reward is so valuable and requires such a simple task is my point exactly. Why wasn’t it more clear this was required every day to achieve the top milestone? I’ll again use the gold/platinum track as an example where there is a tracker icon right next to the free/daily crystals and also a visual where you could clearly see the reward milestones and the progression towards it. Magic Heist was buried in the many ongoing Solo Event Quests, and then the new Special Daily Objectives stated they were for a raffle, not for progressing on a path to other rewards on a near zero tolerance trajectory.

Harping on how easy it is to do the arenas every day is completely missing the point of this post. Everyone knows this and no one is claiming the task is too hard to complete. The issue is that it was not clear that this was an every day requirement to get the reward starting from the first day the content came out with near zero grace time. This is more stringent than any other event, especially for this type of high value reward.

but this is in a different location and is more similar to the Battlegrounds objectives, and a mew one won't spawn if the previous one wasn't completed in time

I mean they put it in an in game email. It clearly says daily objectives and mentions the solo event. I want to empathize with people but come on. It was communicated to everyone who plays the game and it’s minimal effort for really nice rewards. It’s on you if you missed it.

And nowhere in that in game mail (that nobody reads) does it say you must complete the entirely new special daily objectives every day in order to achieve the top milestone in the event.
