What Is Going On Summoners!

The first Realm Event has come to a close, and with it, we have our first-ever BASTION Summoner out in the Battlerealm.
A huge congratulations to Vern from GT40 for opening 183,602 Crystals... that's (checks notes)... a lot.

    Honestly though 183,602 that number for amount of crystal opened is insane

    So the BIG question; Where did the goal for 1BEEEEEELLION (Pinky to mouth) points come from? Was it just an arbitrary number? And did Kabam auto pop any crystals? If so, how many?

    Shouldn't they be fined for hoarding so many? What's the point.. slows the server..slows the game and is illogical?

    3. Solo Event crystals fuelled 1/3 of my points, and these were the crystals I opened first. This caused a huge framerate drop in my entire game as they started to expire, and I couldn't screen record anymore (loading times are still suffering right now as the stash clears up/selling unwanted items)

    You could always sell them before they expire.



    I mean, who’d be crazy enough to do that. But still, you don’t get those odd stutters if you do.


    So I’ve been told.

    Yup, it contributed to your personal server being jammed because from what a friend I consulted, it constantly recalculated a bunch of resources each time you opened a crystal and added to the the inventory, which failed, which then added them to the stash, which added a countdown. But at that point my Item stash was at about 70,000, and unfortunately for that tab, there wasn't a +100 option unlike for ISOs nor time to manually click them.

    Congrats to the 5 best ranked players, including our forum summoner, @DNA3000


    To @BrianGrant for opening the eggs as I predicted 😎 and a lot of summoners against this great act of fellowship for the community wrote a lot of comments before and angry words about this, after he openned.

    And to the 1st Bastion @Vern

    You should see what happens when you happen to have 10,000 items in your stash all with precisely the same expiration. It really doesn't like that (although I don't think this can be replicated on the live production servers).

    At the moment I have yet to allow any stash item to expire unsold so far, but whether I can sustain that throughout the rest of the build up, we'll see. I do have a long flight coming up with excellent internet service, and you can only grind so much arena.

    Oh yeah I saw that in front of my eyes too. It gave me relief for like another 3h before the next batch ended. I may sell some bigger ticket ones like the 4* AG stones and 40/50% XP boosts, but for now...I'm just. I'm just.

    Or too far from the top levels of the game. Most higher up players know of vern.

    Congrats @Vern on being the one and only Bastion. That's a lot of crystal opening. You might want to see a doctor in case in the future your Thumbs falls off.

    Does Bastion become the next progression level after Valiant or is it it's own thing?

    It's Realm-Event connected, not Story.

    Can I ask what your guy's summoner advancement numbers looked like?

    And to the 1st Bastion @Vern

    Let's go full satirical conspiracy theory here...
    Technically in Brian's video we didn't see him actually open the eggs... just the objective counter increase from 1 to 2 to 3.
