i figured they would actually put some good stuff in those chests

Care to explain what the rewards you got from each? I got 50% a T6CC and 3k 7* shards from my regular raid chests so it’s not like these are ground breaking rewards.

I’m sure the worst nightmare raid chest is worse than some of the best regular raid chests

only done with 1 fight and got 1 full T6cc

Yeah, I’ve seen some pretty bad pulls like the 4 t6c and t3a, as well as only one t6cc. But it is better than 25% to 50% t6cc I guess. Disappointing either way

The chests are supposed to have reward identities so it prevents you from getting 3 random 50% t6cc as all your rewards.

that's alright, but the rewards don't match the difficulty...

Nightmare raid has 10 Valiant crystals, T2 Alpha, T6 basic and single fully formed T6cc.

You like them?

I was just asking for a more constructive post other than “I get better rewards in regular raids” with no real complaint or examples of why these rewards are bad. I don’t doubt that regular raids have some better rewards for effort level, it’s just posts like these aren’t remotely constructive without providing at least an example

Initial reaction to nightmare chests:

— Kabam thinks they have made progress by introducing a reward identity for each level of chest. This probably sounds cool in a team meeting. From a player’s perspective, grinding out a fight like one of these bosses and getting half or even a whole t6cc… It mostly sucks. I don’t even want to talk about the poor saps getting valiant crystals.

— Despite many community requests, they don’t want to provide selectors. Don’t know why, I also don’t really care to learn as any explanation about reward budget or economy just sounds even more tone deaf than normal at the moment. No one has time to test a single fight in nightmares but they can expound on their game economy philosophy? No thanks, I’m good bros.

My main issue is that Ironheart's mediums whiff on Korg. Makes that fight soooooo hard. That rewards I believe get better as you go on. Also those rewards don't seem to bad to me, but I may be in the minority.

Spidey3337

We finally beat that juiced up Korg, our first mini-boss, and this is my "reward"?? 5K 6* shards?? I could get that in BGs with no effort at all. I thought these rewards were supposed to be better, not worse than old raids?

Others in my alliance have posted 10 Valiant crystals (which the majority end up being 5* champs) and one guy got 1,500 units which I guess isn't that bad.

But seriously, 5,000 6* shards Kabam?

Are you Valiant? If you are, you picked the wrong box.

Wolf911

did you select valiant chest?

DONZALOOG1234

even if they picked regular AQ chest 5k 6* shards shouldn't be one of the rewards

Furrymoosen

even if they picked regular AQ chest 5k 6* shards shouldn't be one of the rewards

Shouldn't be, yes, but I would be willing to bet all the money that Kabam will make on selling Bastion that they didn't change the lower chests. They tailored the content, and apparently the rewards, solely toward Valiants.

SoSA__Remake

This is 100% not a valiant chest, so this post is already invalid.

This Valiant got 1 tech t6cc

You didn’t pick the right one if you not valiant you shouldn’t play this raid

Valiant rewards are definitely a big L but this was kinda your fault lol bro saw two piles of garbage and said "I'll take the smallest one, please".

This is one of the best explanations on how most of us feel. Sure would mean a lot and to a long ways to hear some feedback from y'all.

Guess, I'm a poor sap. Calculated my "win-fall" to be 4,125 6* shards after max sigs from the 10 x 5*s.

I imagine the takeaway Kabam would offer is that I need to look at the entire "package" of the rewards. It's not like Kabam don't have a history of touting up great rewards only for us to be disappointed by RNG.

The difference in raids is that it's not like you're just spinning crystals and get bad stuff with zero effort involved. It's that there is zero representation of contribution. If you're not going to recognize contribution, then don't make the disparity between good and bad outcomes so massive. I can score 10 times what a teammate scores and get orders of magnitude less in return, what's the relative value of 4,000 6* shards versus 4,000 titan shards?

at least normal raids giving 22,500x or 12,500x T6 shards

S21W

They said that the first chest is supposed to be for horizontal progression meaning that it’s not gonna be that great. The second chest is supposed to be for vertical progression.

We agree, all crates for nightmare raid should be vertical progression not worse than the regular raids

You mean as a Valiant summoner, you don’t like getting T3A’s instead of Titan and 7* Shards? 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s one thing to make what was fun content, literally, twice as difficult; it’s another to make the prizes some of the worst in the game.

Whoever’s ideal this was, maybe they shouldn’t be on the game team anymore, cause this iteration of Raids it’s literal trash.

This is supposed to be extremely hard content for the best of the best of players, right? Do these players need t3 and tc cats? That's the question the game should be asking. Banquet "super crystals" weren t a teaching moment apparently.

In layman’s terms, the new Deathless Raids is way more difficult, no fun, and the prizes are terrible…

Nice job guys 👍

What’s next Game team? You gonna replace 7* and Titan shards in BGs with 6* Awakening gems and 6* sig stones? 🤣

HoadyOZ

Its still better rewards than bgs.
