Special Champs Release Schedule

Ragnarok13

I would love to understand what the schedule is for releasing the Omega Days champs, Heart of Fire, Saga chase, etc. if anyone could share that would be great.

Bendy

At this point after a year of omega days the schedule who knows when things like them events or saga chases enter as its even been a year since nightcrawler so i guess really its just wait and see til they enter there be a pop up

Cloudddey_bro

There is no schedule. They release when kabam wants to release them

Furrymoosen

My theory is this:
Somewhere in Kabam's office they have a bingo setup for each champion. Each bingo cage has 100 balls in it. 99 of them say "no" and the last one says "yes". Once a month they go to each of the bingo cages and pull out a ball. When the "yes" ball for that champ finally comes out, they will be released.

I will say I’m a little surprised we haven’t gotten Omega Day champs and early chase champs from Sagas like Nightcrawler and Captain Marvel in the basic yet. I think we have a chance at seeing them added around July 4th deals but if it doesn’t happen then, we won’t see any of them enter the crystal until Holiday 2025.

Chase champs haven’t been released because i believe they have a content set to release that will feature all chase champs from last year as eligible champs. So until thats over they’ll probably wait a few more months and then put them into the basic. As for the omega days, no clue why they’re being so stingy with it.

I highly doubt omega days or hearts of fire get added to the basic for a long time. There's only so many great characters that are 6 star locked left to release so I feel like they're gonna keep these 2 pools exclusive to these crystals for a while and just bring the crystals back every now and then

My guess, and it's a wild one, is that eventually we will have a 7* Radiance crystal similar to how we have Loyalty and Incursions 7* crystals. Probably will be more expensive than everything else in the store even the mastery point, something like this would push people to grind even more and give the Radiance store even more value than it currently has and it already has a lot value as is. It's either that or who knows how long til they're in the Titan or basics, I don't think they will be in basics until we're a little past r5 7* tho.

Don't give them ideas

I'd honestly rather that than waiting for two years for them to come to basics or Titan. They could just make a Radiance crystal with every champ from every sale or saga and then just limit it to one crystal a month, I whaled out on HoF and got everyone and I wouldn't have any issues with this.

Pretty sure all these exclusive 7* champions will be obtainable again before 7* Kamala Khan gets released into the game

Can you address the main question in the post? Or at least say "I can't speak on this" or "we have no plans currently". It's a little frustrating when you comment on a post and ignore the big question completely. Red guardian and nick fury are two of my favorite champs, I have no idea if I will ever get to use them in current day high end content ever again... its disheartening.

We have no plans currently.

The first announcement of this will almost definitely not be in a stray Forum comment.

You act like you're annoyed that I'm expecting actual information from you instead of jokes lol. Maybe if it's asked that much you could get together with the team and develop a plan instead of having none?

Maybe you should try not being a jerk in your response and you might get further

I was being a jerk by saying I'm "a little frustrated"? I think that's the nicest most respectful way I could've put it. I'm definitely not the only one feeling that way about the influx of paywalled champions. I think it's very reasonable to expect some information/comment.

Having no plans, means that's the plan. Why do you all think you can just demand they give you information after they say they don't have plans.

He's not being rude. He's just saying they aren't going to give that info to us in a random thread on the forums. If they were to give it to us, it will be in an official announcement.

I'm not annoyed, I was telling you there aren't plans to release them yet.

I'm sorry you're frustrated that these Champions aren't in the base pool; it seems like frustration is causing my words to be interpreted in a way that isn't intended.

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but "we aren't releasing them right now" is a plan, and that's currently where things are with these Champions.

Well you asked for a serious response, I dunno why you're accusing him of being annoyed when that's as plain and neutral a response as you could get.

I'm not frustrated that they aren't in the base pool. I'm frustrated that the community has no timeline of when/if they will be. I'm sorry I didn't make that clear enough to understand.

If there isn't a timeline it's because there aren't plans. People still complain that stuff from the roadmaps released in 2020 haven't been done even though they said they were just possible goals, they've already said that it's better to not give estimate dates that they won't meet because it means that people will just get mad when they inevitably don't meet them

This is a completely different thing though. It’s not like the champs are not coded in the game. It’s not new content. These champs are already in the game. It’s a question of having a well defined release schedule that people can expect. Say one year from when it came in a special event or crystal, it gets added to basic crystal.

But if there isn't a plan for them to be released what kind of schedule do you want? "In a year we will continue to not release them"

Your argument is based on the idea that the pool has to be released to the basic on a schedule when that's clearly not the plan so I don't understand what information you want beyond "they will stay exclusive until we say otherwise"

Personally… I just want them to see the feedback that this current direction is unsatisfactory, go to the drawing board and come up with a release policy

You got your timeline. There is none. Why is that so hard to understand?
