Abyss Rewards Update [Merged Threads]

And you wonder why people are leaving the game. Or maybe you don't....

Comments

Interesting idea but they have already told players who did 100% that they would get this crystal. I don't want them to have to now pay 15k 6* shards in order to get it. The option to have 15k shards instead of the nexus isn't really a benefit as you'd be insane to just pop a basic or featured crystal instead of the nexus. If I'm not getting 15k shards I'd rather leave it at that than take 15k shards away from other people. Leaving the 15k for everyone would be best but if they won't do that there's nothing for it.

I find it funny that when other people complain about RNG based rewards in other events, lots of the very same people posting in this thread say that is what the game is all about.

Now, since you are doing the same work, and not getting the same rewards, those exact same people throw a hissy fit? Hypocrites.

For the record, I think all events should get the same awards, no silly RNG determining your fate on the quantity of rewards you will get. 5 sig stones vs a 5* featured in the last rift as an example shouldn't have happened.

Here, the people that went first get 15K more shards. The people that do the content after the date specified don't get those 15K shards. It is the whole 5 sig stones vs a 5* featured again.

true now its been announced it has basically created this I get a free crystal scenario.

Having not done abyss 100% I can't give that perspective either.

But you can also view it as unlocking of rewards, just like cavalier and uncollected. I can't imagine people not willing to spend the shards for it.

But even giving all those who have completed AoL 100% this crystal for free, implementing something like this for the rest of the players at least give them the choice to get this after the other rewards for 100%.

So... the players who already have abyss at 100% walk away with 15’000 extra shards and they get to choose the class after they opened the t5cc?

In the past you used to favor the paying customers in more subtle ways, but hey - if you pay you should get some extra perks so no point being salty about it.

Not to mention this announcement will surely bring in some extra money from those who will rush to 100% it before the change goes live, so extra win

It's not really the same. With RNG everyone at least has the same potential rewards. You might say its stupid that some get good RNG and some get **** from doing the same content, but it isn't unfair. Not the same as just flat out getting 15k fewer 6* shards in the guaranteed rewards.

Kabam, this is not logical, right, and fair way to release the new rewards. You wonder why so many people are outraged and quitting the game....

Do not give the Nexus Crystal to those who’ve already 100% if you are taking away the 15k 6* shards from those who have yet to 100%. Seems quite unfair to those who aren’t finished, as they get LESS rewards. A massive slap in the face, IMO. The people still working on finishing are giving the same effort as those who’ve finished; spreading the Abyss over months instead of finishing in days doesn’t mean remove the current rewards and give the others a bonus. Many who’ve already finished got their bonus with Legends.

If it’s about being fair.

Kabam players who have not completed the abyss can now base decisions off their Abyss Crystals when those who made decisions prior to this announcement are at a disadvantage. If the players who are bemoaning the loss of relative shards to others are awarded those shards I suggest that you prevent them from opening those crystals until they have used their gems, stones and t5cc acquired from the Abyss.

gohard123

Lmao so opening t5cc first means that it isn’t randomised anymore? So ingrained in this RNG comes first mentality that you can’t see how it hurts players. This is such a simple thing, how is the game broken if in this one and only instance players are allowed something that isn’t totally in the hands of RNG.

milomike

You do realize the players who’ve already 100% will also be getting the added Nexus crystal? It will be delivered and claimed in mail, and they too can also base their decision on whichever t5cc they have waiting.

Only difference at this point is the countless who aren’t 100%, now get less rewards.

Worknprogress

Oh so I get to unuse my AGs and T5c that I used weeks/months ago? I missed that part of the announcement

CoatHang3r

If they have spent their t5cc, no they cannot base their decision off of their t5cc.

The countless people who have not completed the Abyss are at a significant advantage when it comes to making informed decisions. Those who have made decisions prior to this announcement are in a position much worse than being down a crystal, they are down being able to make an informed decision with their resources which is far more detrimental than 1.5 random champions.

I’m not a whale, and have 3/5 paths done with grinded units. This doesn’t make doing the last 2 paths any more exciting. Taking out 15,000 6* shards is terrible and just unfair. Making us open the crystal before T5CC is also terrible and cruel.

A conservative estimate of 100%ing Abyss is 20,000 units with the proper counters and great skill. That’s about $645.00 worth of investment for paid or FTP. And probably a lot more for the average player or someone that doesn’t have the best counters. I don’t think it would be too much to ask for that investment to 1. Keep the 15,000 shards and 2. Let us open the crystal after the T5CC.

I will still 100% Abyss eventually, but this definitely hasn’t got me any more motivated or excited, so IMHO this is a fail.

Cliffordcan

Kabam still can’t make universally good decisions for the player base, can’t wait to see the roadmap now😂

Still finding things players can’t have, instead of just making people happy.

LeNoirFaineant

I doubt in reality it was detrimental to very many players. Some still have a lot of their resources. Many who did the Abyss early have sick rosters already and had excellent options on which to use those Abyss resources. They also got the benefit of the prestige race which is why many did it early in the first place. Nice Sunspot btw. It's really not a big deal either way. It's 15k shards. No one is getting screwed really. I just think it would be a better move by Kabam to leave the shards for everyone.

milomike

If they spent their t5cc, they likely used it on champs that are worthy. If they didn’t, they should’ve waited. Using AGs and rank up materials on lesser champs is a choice, nobody twisted their arm into doing so.

StevieManWonder

Every time I get dead set on quitting, I open a few crystals and pretty much every single time, I get a beast of a champion. Pretty soon after I said I was quit if the roadmap wasn’t any good earlier in this thread, I pulled a five star Human Torch, literally the only champion that was stopping me from 100% Abyss and was the only pull that could’ve stopped me from quitting. So, looks like I’m sticking around still.

culturalreference1

this entire thread would be non-existent if they just left the 15k shards. 15k 6* shards when so much of the pool is trash is pretty meaningless in the scheme of things.

i understand the feeling of missing out on the 15k shards, but the abyss nexus way way way overshadows the loss of 15k 6* shards imo. they really should just leave the 15k shards in, but if they go through with taking it away, it's very unlikely that it's going to affect somebody's account progression one way or another; especially somebody who's got the roster to explore aol.

LeNoirFaineant

@culturalreference1 I agree. I quoted you and posted simply "I agree" but that comment was removed for moderation lmao.

CoatHang3r

Yeah would’ve been nice if I had the Abyss crystal before spending my resources on Sunspot, would’ve influenced my decisions relating to every last resource used on him. I would gladly trade it for a refund and 5k 6* shards.

It’s cool that you aren’t very concerned, but I’m speaking to those who are.

"Class5 Seçici" kesinlikle olmalıydı!!!
Nexus zaten bekliyorduk ancak 45.000 parçanın 15.000 parçasını silip yerine 1 tane Nexus veriliyor ( 3 değil 10 karakter gelecek ekrana )

Ama yine de, zaten bitiren oyuncuların kristal içeriğinden memnun olmadıkları için değiştirme kararı aldılar, 65.000 parçadan iyi hero bulamayan adam 50.000 parçadan nasıl bulacak? Nexus konusuna gelince, 10 tane hero gelecek ekrana ama oyun zaten 10-15 hero etrafında dönüyor 150 farklı hero olduğunu düşünürsek yine işe yaramayacak bi değişiklik. Ve sadece bu kadar olması ayrı hayal kırıklığı.
Boş yere ödül güncellemesi olacak deyip oyuncuları heyecanlandırdı, şimdi durduk yere sinir ediyor.

arsjum

I am 100% done with the Abyss and I cannot believe a couple of forum members claiming I am comparatively at a disadvantage. Seriously? I get to keep extra 15k shards and I know exactly what kind of a class I am going to target when I get the Abys Nexus crystal in the mail. Those who explore the Abyss after June 15 get less than I do and it is clearly unfair. Kabam should not have done that.

LeNoirFaineant

I agree.

Bidzy7

You're argument for players not to get the same shards is because you used your rewards already ?

Quite frankly this is a ridiculous thing to say.

You chose to do Abyss with the rewards as they were. You have gained an advantage over other players by doing abyss early as well, which is part of the appeal for so many to have done it, to get those R3 champs as well as prestige purposes.

You argument is along the lines of someone saying this
"Kabam should just not give you the crystal. You accepted the rewards as there were right. So you had no issue with the initial rewards. "

Honestly it comes across as selfish and self entitled.

Had Kabam left things as they were this thread wouldn't even have existed. Usually changes to rewards never leave players missing out. Even when changes to rewards were made across previous acts all players got bonus rewards via in game mail.

I have not done abyss yet and tbh i'm not overly fussed, yeah its disappointing to know i don't get the same rewards for completing the same content as others. But overall I'm happy with the direction taken with the new crystal.

CoatHang3r

Sorry speculation and hypotheticals don’t cut it. Players who have already made decisions prior to the abyss crystal are at a bigger disadvantage here. In arguendo, They should get at a minimum 1 t5cc and generic awakening gem to be fair.

LeNoirFaineant

If you had it to do over would you save all the things you got from the Abyss, refrain from awakening anyone and taking to r3, and wait until now? Genuinely curious. Who would you try to get in lieu of Sunspot?

Harith1987

I was thinking kabam will do something better! Disappointed As usual.
15k 6* shards less! Why ? You will give that nexus for all players including who done 100% , If Kabam fair enough Keep shards as it was before or do not give them nexus crystal becuase it’s not fair some people got 15k 6* plus and Who will explore in the future get less 15k!.

MattMan

There should also be an exclusive champ added to the rewards as well. Super disappointing

milomike

Yeah, right. So, those who’ve completed, get the new Nexus Crystal, PLUs an EXTRA 6* AG, and EXTRA t5cc, while those who haven’t completed get 15,000 LESS 6* shards and no extra AG or t5cc???

Just stop. Stop talking, stop thinking, stop posting, stop playing. Stop.

GOTG

I think the change is great

Appreciated it @Kabam Miike
