what can theoretically SAVE the banquet 2024 ?

kvirr

better drop rates, better crystals, lower the realm event milestone, buff the rewards for f2p, good holiday gift, good calendar.


and some eggnog

WetHam

Nothing can save this awful banquet

Furrymoosen

1:1 comp on all crystals purchased. Double what we paid for, bringing crystals to a more realistic cost.

Shadow_Shooter

Nothing… I’ve never seen Kabam admit or compensate any of the terrible events they put out since I’ve been playing this game. So hold your horses.

Killswitchmitch

A redo on crystals purchased with MUCH better drop rates.


Actually, just give me my 13,000+ units back

I feel like this would do wonders towards the community, but it will never happen.

Eh we’ve bullied Kabam hard enough into giving us stuff before, not entirely out of the question if there’s enough uproar (which there is)

Johnnoooooo

Open realm rewards to the whole community

LordVirom

It can't be saved cause they will literally do nothing to that degree.

They will probably give us 10-20 crystals as compensation, based on progression and call it a day.

Awful just awful.. total waste of 15K units .

Remove these failing realm events & allocate the rewards back into the crystals

My favorite part about this entire thing is that they said they placed too much emphasis and put too much stock into the gifted guardians from last year and have learned their lesson.

Only to do the exact same thing again but now they're glorious guardians lol

The community is on an incredibly good pace to open the realm rewards on our own. If you're saying players should get the entire thing regardless of their contribution, then absolutely not.

No. Progression locks still make sense regardless of this awful event. It wasn't easy becoming valiant; a cavalier player should not get the same endgame resources we do.

It’s genius when you think about it. They said they made a mistake with the gifted guardians but changed the name so they were technically not doing the same thing again this year

Only way to save it?
Stark fohndation sending everyone 50 SBC to reach the realm event and make up for this horrible drop rates.

Definitely not people complaining about it , in my opinion it's a great event , i didn't had any lucky with the SBC's but all the rewards from everything else is really good, I can't complain about the event at all.

Restart the whole thing tomorrow, take out t5cc, t6b, t3a, make milestones better, less overall units required, give more than 2 sig stones. Give more than 10 percent of a 7 star. Most importantly, give our units back.

Please don’t do that, completely destroys the whole
point of the realm event.

Honestly stark foundations comeback is needed.

Honestly, I’m cav and the resources I got from the various SBCs I’ve managed to get i’m sure will become useful, but are not in the slightest bit useful to me now. It’s crazy that I have plenty of tier 6 class and basic, but I have champs stuck at 6* R2 because I don’t have any tier 5 basic or tier 2 alpha. It sounds weird and I probably shouldn’t say it but the rank up rewards for my progression are overkill.

I say redo the drop rates and each player receives half the total amount of SBC’s they purchased

Kabam never forced anyone to spend in the banquet , they gave us a choice to use our units to get a chance on a bunch of good stuff and several guaranteed game changing stuff , if you didn't liked the event just don't waste units there save for something else the game keeps going .

I tend to be pretty realistic and will often side with Kabam in the sense of just helping others to understand the rationale behind why they do what they do. There's no siding with this. They built up this event like it was going to be the greatest event in history. The events are solid, but the crystals are horrendous. For some, if RNG is on your side, it probably is a great event all around, or if you're TB or Paragon. But if you've been Valiant for more than a few days, then these crystals are a terrible let down. Kabam has communicated clearly that while they are very interested in moving lower progressions up as fast as they possibly can, they are fairly uninterested in giving end game progressions players a priority or individual experience. Valiants get the short straw because TB gets to share in these crystals.

Removing the Realm limit points, just a suggestion lol

I was never interested in those crystals to be honest, they just a mean to get to the good rewards with chances of getting lucky , people just want too much of the good stuff right away when we're playing a game that keeps going if they give everything for free now there's no reason to make more content, just give stuff for free and let the game die , the banquet is supposed to be an event to boost our accounts not something to give everything that has the most value in the game in a few minutes . Is more a thing of expectation people create a perfect world in their heads but at the end of the day kabam is trying to manage a game.

If you go panning for gold, you really don't expect to make it rich. Hit a few specks of gold and you're feeling pretty good about your day. Nobody went into this event expecting to blow up the economy (that's reserved for rank rewards) or only pull amazing stuff. But we did expect to get more than mud and rocks.
Like I said, the events themselves are nice, but the only way to take advantage of the events is to purchase the crystals that Kabam spoke about like it was the second coming. They undeniably overhyped the event and created the scenario we are now it where it's disappointing. I should have more than 2k titan shards for opening 66 of these crystals, and I should've finished more than two 7* crystals as well. I've got 3% of a t7b that is months away from having any reasonable value, and even then it won't be worth the 900 units it cost. It's not that what's in the crystals is bad, it's that they are consistently dealing out the worst stuff that's in them.

Lokx

Nothing. Just like last year, we’re gonna get a ‘we’ll do better next year’ and be done with that.

Then why is everyone crying about not blowing the game economy?????

Maybe Kabaam can respond and at least acknowledge the responses from their players. Says a lot when the event underperforms and they don't respond...basically acknowledging it but too bad so sad.

O_Deadpool_O

What can save the event… If Kabam returned units spent on SBC and set the real price for this crystal: 100 units, no more. Or send x2 SBCs that we already bought. The trash in these crystals doesn’t worth 300 units. It is cheaper to buy this stuff in the Store.
