Crystal cleansing

We need more time we will not finish the target of the event in time

Comments

We won't finish even if we had more time 🤣
It's just bad designed event with profile pictures as rewards and final reward being "80% chance to pull 6* in 2024"
YIKES

peixemacaco

I will complete 1000 crystals

Now with 782

But ,the community surpassed 500m yesterday.

Maybe we will reach 750m max

Halley

Nah, right subject should be that we need more motivating rewards

IncrediFlow

Imo, it shouldn’t have been a community event. It’s highly likely that a month long solo event would have had better participation from the community.

I imagine there are a huge number of players that will be desperate for that 6*. Not everything is aimed at you or the highest progression level.

That's correct, if it's not aimed for high players then you shouldn't expect high players to contribute as much because it's clear that all the heavy lifting of crystals is done by bigger accounts.

If rewards were maybe more 7* shards, few 10% T6CC, T3 T6 catalyst in "selectors" then perhaps community would reach 1 billion mark in 12-15 days.

But Kabam and their kink to bundle cavs with Valaint keeps rising,
I hope Banquet crystals won't be bundled with T2 catalysts like last years. That was horror.

Just let it end

Should have been progression based selectors every few milestones with the last one offering a full t4a cat and maybe a 7 star titan crystal.

BringPopcorn

Yeah, at this point I am just opening based on my overflow, sorry but a mythic crystal or a 6* or anything like that doesn't interest me at all.
A lot of things should be progression based at this point. I don't even have faith on the next BGs realm event.

SirGamesBond

Let's finish this event at even 100/150 t2 dust, and not at 125/175. 😐

Before someone brings it up,

It was a terrible experiment overall. Poor planning and poor execution.

There was no incentive for the part of the player base that actually has thousands of crystals to participate in the experiment. The goal should've been closer to half a billion and the rewards should've probably been different depending on acc. progress if they want to avoid giving everybody a guaranteed 7*s/T6 loot.

Pretty sure they didn’t care at all if we hit the milestones. They were making sure Realm Events worked properly, and this event was a low-risk event to test the technology.

What would be different if they did what you suggest? Hundreds of thousands of players have opened hundreds of millions of crystals. Each point in the event represents a crystal opening. Collectively, we’ve produced more Realm event data from more players than any other live event ever likely will.

When you say this was a “terrible experiment” that’s because you’re judging the test on whether it handed you enough free stuff. But Kabam was not testing their ability to hand you free stuff. They were testing the realm event infrastructure and systems and wanted as many players generating as many scoring events as possible. If the crystal cleanse ended today, it would still have generated more data from more players than any live event will.

The second Realm event is going to be the Battlegrounds realm event. There is no way players are going to do 521 million battleground matches during that event.

As to whether there was enough incentive for players to really stress the system, on the very first day we were averaging over 13.5 million crystals opened per hour at our peak opening rate. That’s over 3750 crystals opened per second, It is unlikely we will ever see another realm event capable of generating that much data that quickly, because there are few things the player base can do 3750 times per second besides open crystals. If one day there’s a realm event that scores points for every fight completed on the server, even if the players manage to sustain a one fight every ten seconds speed that would require 37500 players logged into the server simultaneously spamming fights against 2* defenders constantly for hours.

In terms of testing the bandwidth of the realm scoring systems, I cannot think of any way to improve the event in terms of testing the realm systems.

As a part of said "Realm", do we really even want to complete it? Considering the highest rewards is a chance at a 6*?

In an earlier post, I expressed that they feel like an in-game survey just to see what kind of time people dedicate to the game, or maybe what sort of popularity the game still has after 10 years of it's existence.

Who knows, the real motive may just be to see the survivability of the game in the future years. I mean, obviously there are loads of content creators out there, just people with normal lives cannot dedicate that kind of time to the game.

Lesson of this event/experience: with middle range rewards, don’t expect high participation from end-game players and sparing players.

Once again, that was not realistic milestones.

If Kabam plans to force openings of crystals after the event, better do it during the event. Because it is obvious the last milestones won’t be reached.

trakdaddy

What's crazy is people want to compare it to the necro event when most of the deaths came from people who didn't even get those rewards. Yet they didn't complain and the rich of the game got richer.

Now a simple event where everyone gets something just for opening crystals they just got holding space comes and it's, o my God they want me to open my hard earned crystals. But when a new character everyone raves about pop goes the crystals.

I watch YouTube videos of folks with 50k plus crystals from 5 years ago that complain about the rewards not being good enough for them. Then sit there in the same stream and say they play for the community.

Then there's everyone who wants to blame kabam saying bad event design, like they sit there and say we only gonna design events based off the people who spend all their money chasing instead of the game community as a whole.

I mean it is called a community event. We could get all of the milestones bout won't because of the hoarders of the asinine crystals that aren't even meta based.

Selfishness
I pray that kabam sticks to their word and pop all those old irrelevant crystals for people, then we all will sit back and laugh at the complaints

My brother is Uncollected, and he’s said this event has been great for him, and it’s still going, he’s been able to ascend a 5* (Silk) and had plenty of revives for story content, he’s gotten decent units that he’s said is a good contribution to Banquet, and IF we reach all the milestones, he will receive a free 6* (unless somehow he pulls a 7* lol) which is a big for him, as he hasn’t got amazing 6* lol.

For me as a paragon, I would say the units, revives and ascension is the only good thing about this events, tier 2 dust is valuable for me, as I’ll definitely give it to Kate, units are good for Banquet like my brother said, and I’ll probably end up with a 6* in the exalted which is useless to me as I have quite a lot of 6* already.

In conclusion, for lower progression, it’s brilliant, for higher progression the effort doesn’t meet the reward, as lower progressions won’t have nowhere near the amount of crystals higher progression has (correct me if I’m wrong though) so us higher progressions who have plenty of crystals, are basically carrying the lower progressions lol.

Please people who have lots of crystals have realised that the opening of crystals is simply not worth the reward, open thousands of crystals for the community? Have a profile picture of a 4* crystal as a valiant!

What effort is it to tap a screen to see this written complaint everywhere is so shameful. And then even saying that people who have all those old crystals don't want a 4* crystal profile pic but want to keep the out of date said 4* crystals, please what's the logic they gonna bust them and yall will get nothing but the same overflow you all are complaining about ending up with. Atleast you get something you can use but some people just don't think. Then it's too much effort, lmao it's less effort to bust those crystals than to reply to a post,...why not....ijs!

Maverick75

No matter what each player think about the event and the contributions, it is not fair to only criticize the players who spare. Those who can’t keep opening crystals outside of such an event should also be criticized.
A player who spares is more likely someone who scores more points on such an event that a player who opens everything everyday.

Anyway, let’s move forward and be positive: the community will do better on future community events.

Pretty sure you’ve participated in several post regarding these rewards and it’s been explained a few times that the rewards are for mid players because this event was aimed as a tester for the realm system. It wasn’t supposed to be game changing and while they do want to encourage crystal opening, It was not the only goal for releasing this event. They stated on the email that they would automatically open some older crystals from peoples account to free space on the system, so if you open it or not does not matter.

I do think they missed on the milestones points tho.

trakdaddy

Yeah as long as they feel catered to, that's why I play the game for the stories and the love of the marvel universe not for pieces of data I can purchase. Still positively waiting for this to end and they bust them stashes

You are right on the first part about PT_99; he does have a point too though. The rewards being mid to bad stops players like me to push for an extra effort. There is absolute no way I am opening any lower crystal even a 3* because of an overflow of ISO, has there been better rewards I might have and even sold that ISO; but for this milestones that serve nothing to my account. Nah thanks.

So you're saying, Kabam can't do the testing of realm system, if they give somewhat decent rewards instead of giving rewards from bottom of stinky barrel? 😨😨

Also, they aren’t going to force-open any mainstream crystals — a point that’s been made on seemingly dozens of posts in the last three weeks. Most notably by DNA.

If they force open something, it’s going to be obscure random crystals that are no longer being issued. So if you’re sitting on some EQ crystal from 2017, watch your stash. But they aren’t going to open your thousands of t4cc fragment crystals or solo crystals or arena boosts — or any of the things that are most likely the biggest crystal numbers for an average account.
