Pre-empting a message of complaints to realm event

This is probably more targeted to @KabamPinwheel and Mike (can't tag for some reason...

This in regards to the realm event and alliance relic event and a potential for a ton of complaints. So I've seen on the forum a few times people say Kabam is going to make sure we hit the final milestone for the realm event. Vega alluded to something similar in a recent video as well. Whether that happens or not is fine. But if that is true, and it happens in the final minutes of the event, I wanted to share what could become a bunch of forum and discord complaints.

So in my alliance about 10 of us have done the relic event to get the free token, anticipating we all hit the free one in the realm event. We are ready and hopeful. But there have been about 10-15 in our alliance saying they won't do anything in the relic event until they see us hit the final milestone in the realm event. Meaning only when we are 100% sure of the realm token will they invest some units to get the last token from the relic event. I imagine if there's 10-15 in my one alliance thinking this way, then there are probably others out there thinking the same.

Here's where I see a bunch of whining can occur. If the Stark Foundation comes through in the final minutes of the realm event, I imagine these people will come out of the wood work to complain on the forums and discord how they were cheated, robbed, rigged, etc. of the opportunity to do the relic event. Now, don't get me wrong, that's on them. But I also hate seeing the pages of complaints here on the forums.

So my request to Kabam moderators is to just consider this scenario, the timing of the events, and the potential outcomes. If Stark Foundation is going to come through, maybe do it earlier so people across many timezones have time to rush to do the relic milestones.

Take it or leave it. I just felt the need to get that out there.

I could be wrong, but it thought the reference for "don't worry about hitting the milestone" was for the realm event, ie crucible, and not the alliance event for relics.

The relic event is not a realm event.

Correct. My wall of text ws probably not clear.

You get a key from the realm event and the relic event. A bunch of alliance mates say they won't invest in the relic token unless we get the one from the realm event. Reason being why spend 2,000+ units for a a token that would make you have 2 tokens total. But if we hit the realm event one, then the relic one is worth the unit investment.

So they are waiting to see if we hit the final milestone of the realm event (get token #2) before spending units to get token #3 from the relic alliance event.

In the scenario where kabam bumps us up, and if it's in the final hours or two of the event, a bunch of people like my alliance mates, won't have time to get the third token from the alliance event. Therefore there would be a bunch of complaining.

I got you now. Thanks for clarifying.

And rereading it, I see that's also what you said the first time. My bad

Makes a lot of sense

Stark Foundation was only created for the very 1st Realm Event.

Sad, but true

They don't need to come through. We will hit the milestone without them. People have been complaining about this periodically for 2 weeks and everytime the daily pts totals needed to hit the milestone has decreased.

10 days ago when people were complaining the pts totals needed was 6m a day

5 days ago it was 5m a day

Today it's 2.1m a day

We'll be fine.

Players have been way too paranoid about this realm event. We're going to hit it no problem and have been in that position for awhile.

It's because this realm event isn't like the others where you can amass points quickly by just opening crystals or doing daily objs for points. The only way to get points is to do the quests. That's takes people time to do and many people leave thing to the last moment to do.

I mean it's annoying of course as everyone wants the token to get a 2nd selector (if the did the relic event) but that's just how the event is set up.

I understand why this realm event is frustrating. I finished the crucible on day 1 and have just been waiting for everyone else to catch up. But that doesn't mean it was ever going to be a milestone we wouldn't hit, which is my point. It can be both frustrating and something we accomplish, and it will be both. Too many people have been posting about their "doubt" and it's been unfounded and, even without Kabam intervention, will be proven misplaced .

This realm event failed after first week.

kabam has been adding points all along to hit thier expected targets.

Tell me how we got 5M points in one day after weekly SQ reset. Tell me 500,000 active players did their objectives.

By that logic and that amount of activity, we would have hit highest milestone under a week.

Don't need proofs when things are screaming at our faces.

Zacharias10719

We've been doing over 5m pts a day for 2 weeks mate sq or no sq. Remember that the sq is open to everyone, not just people eligible for the crucible. So more players will able to achieve those pts than can do crucible

You can't convince me that they haven't added the points.

I can't convince you they have.

Intuition on both ends. We have hit the middle ground.

Neither is the Queen of England, but you can see how that doesn't matter in the slightest for what OP is saying, much like your comment.

FishSkin

it’s more likely they just didnt want to participate in the alliance relic event - finding an easy excuse in the relic realm event.

But, let’s say that just simply isn’t true. They will only have themselves to blame if Mr Stark comes in 10 minutes before the end of the realm event to donate the last remaining points…
