Who says you have to get the same symmetrical equivalent in a higher Rarity? You can't even R5 a 6* at this stage, and T5CCs and 6* AGs are the most rare Resources. It's not just about "We got it last time.", it also relates to what stage the game is at. There's only one Gen Gem, and it's at AOL 100%. Which is supposed to be the greater feat, whether it hit the mark or not. I'm not sure where the concept of the Rewards lining up for all Acts came from, but that's never been guaranteed.
Kabam set a precedence. At the end of Acts 4&5 they gave us the rarest of materials, at the time, that allowed us to take a champion to the highest rank currently available. Granted, those were materials that are generic in nature, but the concept holds. “Finish this act and you can take a champion of your choice to the highest rank available.” That is not the case here.
Other than the AG what was generic in Act 4 and Act 5?
The catalyst resource for the next level, act 4 t2a could be used on any champ and act 5 t5b could be used on any champ
Lol. You still always needed the random class catalysts to give what you needed.

The resources you named are basic in nature and aren't subject to RNG
The random class catalysts weren’t the bottleneck rare resource, all the other story content has had a guaranteed rankup for any champ, act 6 doesn’t which is the issue, t4cc was different, it wasn’t rolled out exclusively on new big content, it was available to get by other means in good enough amounts for rankups
I never said that t4cc weren't abundant. I said that the rewards from Act completion/exploration weren't enough to guarantee a rank up of any champ you wanted
Well I actually played the game back then and if you were a high level map 5 or map 6 player you had all the access to t4cc you needed which is the point. So anybody who completed act 4 at the time could do their rankup if the champion they wanted was available. Stop reaching.

I played back then too so don't try changing the topic.

I'm not reaching, all i claimed was the rewards from any given Act were not enough on their own to rank any champ you want so Act 6 has maintained that same ability.

Did i say I'm ecstatic about the rewards? No
Did i say i didn't want more? No

All i said was the rewards have continued the same as they have aside from the AG.

I never said that t4cc weren't abundant. I said that the rewards from Act completion/exploration weren't enough to guarantee a rank up of any champ you wanted

They pretty much were, maybe a wait if a few weeks if you didn’t have lower catalysts, but that just functions at t5b does now

If the rewards functioned the same as they did back then the T5cc crystal would be readily available as a whole catalyst in AQ. Kabam has planned to make the next level class based purposefully and we all know why. You saying anything otherwise is completely false. You not being ecstatic about the rewards makes no difference to me, I'm just saying your argument doesn't hold wait.

The rewards do function the same way. Not everyone does AQ or AW so not everyone has excess t4cc.

If you look at only Act rewards and not rewards from all other aspects of the game then they are relatively the same progression (aside from AG)

It’ll be live after his juice turns stale. (Not kidding)

I'm insanely nervous about Grandmaster fight, other than that I believe other bosses are not that much crazy, we are almost there guys, I just wanted to wish everyone luck who is gonna try to take Act 6 down.

HyzerBomb · March 2020

I still find it strange that looking at act 4 and act 5 there were generic awakening gems for 4 and 5*s respectively. And act 5 final chapter exploration also included a random 5* AG. That's two AG's for exoloration - one being generic - and now act 6 is only one random one. It's still very likely that I can explore this content and still receive the following RNG heartbreak;

A 5* Nexus crystal with 3 poor options
A Nexus 6* crystal that spits 3 bad champs
A 6* AG that's worthless to my roster
A T5CC that I'm holding for someone worthy
5 useless 5* champs
2 ½ useless 6* champs
And maybe a handful of decent rank up options.

Truly I fear the day I get to open all that

Looking forward to it.

hungryhungrybbq · March 2020

Tighten up your shoelaces Grandmaster.. We're coming for you! 😛
Well.. as soon as I get off work:)

StevieManWonder · March 2020

@WeeHobbit89 I'm not sure what you're talking about, 6.4 was relatively easy and most certainly fair.

Mcord11758 · March 2020

I am up to the last level for completion but I am not confident in my 1400 units

KelvinKage · March 2020

Absolutely loved the chapter. 6.3.3 darkhawk is an enormous pain alongside a few other fights here and there but otherwise great chapter, at least for completion. Grandmaster fight was awesome. Well done Kabam.

GroundedWisdom · March 2020

Positive reviews on The Collector across the board from what I'm seeing.

xNig · March 2020

Haha. Seems like the nodes that boosts the attacker’s damage were buffed since the beta.

Not as draggy as before. 👍🏻

Sarah89 · March 2020

I just wanted to appreciate this awesome content! In particular w.r.t the latest issues. Completing 6.4. was the most fun I ever had in the game. The chapter progression felt quite perfect and the Grandmaster fight is just magic. To me this is the MCOC equivalent to Infinity War

So far

I am pretty sure you made a lot of summoners really happy. I am really looking forward to the exploration!

Evangelionlovr · March 2020

No one is more critical of this game than me (Mostly due to the fact that it is far and away the best mobile game I've ever played, which makes me passionate) but I also will give credit where credit is due. That Grandmaster fight is the most incredibly fun thing Kabam has ever done. Nameless Thanos was a treat but this absolutely blows it out of the water. Great Job team, you got this one 1000% right.

TheTalents · March 2020

I'm just glad they didn't have a 12k offer giving us all the items we asked for instead of it being in the rewards.
I did predict that happening and I was incorrect. The Grandmaster is no where near as hard as the Champion so all in all I can say good job so far from kabam even though the content is very difficult for any roster. I would still have liked Generic Awakening gem and t5cc selector though.

Which node are you referring to?

WHOz_R4GE · March 2020

6.4 100% review

Overall I really enjoyed this content. The grandmaster fight is my favorite boss fight in recent memory. I do wish you had done a short path as I would love to keep trying him for a solo.

My only gripes and they are the same feedback I left in your beta, is the power sting path is not enjoyable. I used Emma and while the fights aren't hard, they are just gruelingly long and boring. Obviously Mr. F would make that path quick and less painful. This content does require a fairly developed roster in my opinion. For the most part felt all the mini bosses are fair.

Looking forward to what is in store for Act 1 and beyond!!!

Timone147 · March 2020

I just wanted to drop a note to the people who designed the grandmaster fight. This is the type of challenge that we need in the game. None of the BS mechanics and all of the skill testing. This is the best designed fight this game has seen and I hope it continues. It is the right level of challenge along with reward for playing well. And amazingly no BS “interactive damage” mechanics.

Again thank you to the developers of this and please tailor content toward this type of model in the future. Truly was a fun fight to play and can be tackled by really any champ with the right summoner.
