    Chances are higher with the new nexus crystal to get a handful of champs you want. Chances are not the same if u dont know what T5cc you are gonna get. Period.
    First of all, you need to check your math on that. Secondly, who said the Cat MUST be used with the Champ you select? Since when is that a given?

    For the record, I know LoL gave Rewards that enabled us to Rank any of each Class, but you also have to look to where the game is at right now. T5CCs and 6* Gems are the most rare Resources. They're not likely going to give a few of each Class of those. As for the Nexus, literally nowhere else in the game can you choose one of 10 Champs.

    You’re right, the chance you’ll get the catalysts to rank the champions you choose from the nexus is not the same, it’s magnitudes higher as you’ll have a multitude of chances at that class in a relatively short period of time; Kabam is going to increase the amount of available t5cc and they’ll be doing it fairly soon, and you’re likely to have a rank 2 you will appreciate.

    At the end of the day, people complained about recieving bad rewards. Now there's a chance at a better reward but ultimately people are still going to get 10 bad choices from their nexus crystal -- and then they're left short of 15k shards too!

    They're event worst off than they were before! This doesn't fix the problem of putting in all the effort to not be rewarded fairly, and that's not even taking into consideration the absolutely stupid idea of forcing players to open the Nexus before their catalysts! That's just greedy and very telling of Kabam and the direction they head in.

    Of course it doesn't have to be used on that champion, but if you don't have a super good champion to rank up as a 6* and you've been wanting corvus and ghost and void for your war and act 6 exploration, but don't have any of them yet, which nexus crystal do you pick? It's a choice that is prompted by the t5cc you get literally seconds later. If you pick cosmic and get corvus, great! Then you get assigned the tech t5cc, well, that sucks, you wish you could rewind time literally seconds earlier and pick tech....

    And that's a very very realistic example. All because of some VERY arbitrary VERY easy to fix issue of - which order the rewards are received in.

    I mean I'm not a computer programmer but I can't imagine it's hard to switch the order of the rewards in the list so it assigns catalyst first. And if they for some reason can't do that, literally, just mail the crystal to you. We KNOW they can do that because that's how they're giving it to people who have already explored it!

    All this change does is please the guys who have already 100% the abyss, mostly the big spenders. They get to keep the 45k shards and get a bonus. You just piss of the rest who are already behind in game and now get penalized for not spending and already completing the abbys. It makes absolutely no sense why you would do that, either take the shards away from everyone (this is propably impossible to do) or keep it the same and add the Nexus crystal so that everyone gets the same rewards. This is only fair, the content is the same! Its as hard as it was before isnt it?! Why would you do something like this?! Like you guys dont know this would again cause the gamers to be upset?!! Why are you always so set to creating problems with every change? It blows my mind...

    And your 6 star nexus choices are....

    1. Rhino
    2. Spiderman Miles Morales
    3. Kamala Khan
    4. Daredevil OG
    5. Iron Patriot
    6. Civil Warrior
    7. Diablo
    8. Groot
    9. Karnak
    10. Cyclops
    Apparently you didn't read the announcement very well. It's 10 champs but you get to pick the class. The odds of getting nothing useful in this crystal are much lower. But thank you for playing.

    I like the direction that Kabam is taking with a class based crystal with 10 champs to choose from. I wish this reward would be added for initial completion of the Abyss since just completing a single run is a huge task. Then another at 100%.
  • LeNoirFaineantLeNoirFaineant Member Posts: 8,689 ★★★★★
    How the hell do you disagree with that? lol. We can pick the class, therefore the pool of champs is much smaller, therefore the odds of getting a good champ is much larger. I guess some people don't like facts.

    Yes I am basically opening up another crystal when everyone yet to do the Abyss is opening a crystal they can pick and choose who to use the rarest resources in the game on while also having the advantage of knowing they can alternatively choose a crystal relative to their class awakening gem on.

    You’re failing to see the other side here.

    There are two players, player A completed the Abyss, player B has yet to complete the Abyss.

    Player A) Having all available information, foreseeable resources in front of him and based on the hand he was dealt from his 6* pulls makes decisions relating to his gems, stones and catalysts. 3 months after those decisions were made He gets the most powerful crystal ever released for content already completed. But that crystal’s Power is largely tied to and possibly dependent on resources he has already used.

    Player B) Has not completed the Abyss, not faced those decisions and now gets to use his resources on a champion of his choosing rather than letting the game tell him where to use those resources. But he gets 15k shards less than player A.

    Player B has a choice and options Player A did not. This is so advantageous to Player B that the 15k shards Player A has from this is meaningless.

    Sorry that the reasoning gets in the way of being able to pretend player B is disadvantaged.

    Yes and by not completing the Abyss in the same time frame you didn’t get the same rewards, you got better rewards. This is not some minor reward adjustment, the abyss crystal is possibly the most powerful item ever released in the game. Again I’m willing to play the hand I’m dealt but it takes a special kind of person to say playing with a wild card isn’t an advantage to someone who can draw one random card to play against them.

    I’m not denying others rewards, I’m pointing out that in spite of what you think you have a sizable advantage over those that received 15k shards at the cost of making informed decisions.
    No you are also opening a crystal that lets you choose out of 10 champions in a particular class.

    Your complaining about using resources because a new unplanned crystal was added. Kabam had no intention to change rewards. But you know why they are, because of player dissatisfaction displayed most likely by the number of people doing abyss. I don't even remember anyone really complaining about Abyss so this update is kind of a surprise. You accepted the rewards as they were and decided to 100% Abyss. Now what you do with the rewards you got is down to you. You say you don't use sunspot etc well why use the most valuable resources in the game on him and the others.... O prestige right. So what about the advantage you got from that for past 5 months.
    When kabam release a champ that makes Abyss easier like Aegon did to LoL you going to say the rewards should be toned down because its easier for them to now complete and so using less items too.

    The crystal is still RNG the 10 champions doesn't mean you can just pick a champion to get awakened. It simply means you have a greater chance of not getting a bad champ.

    As time passes more champions get added to the pool making it less likely to get the very specific ( "God tier") champs in each class. So should all those players complain because now they have less chance pulling the champion they want compared to you.

    Featured crystals is a way of targeting specific champs, sometimes they are mostly trash other times they have a lot more valuable champs then meme champs. Should those people also complain because the featured crystal available to them has more trash then the ones before. Having the ability to maybe pull a useful champ would of affected their rank up decision. What about those players who used the extra 15k shards on featured and got doom for example.

    All the spenders in the game who haven't done Abyss can now do it and get the extra shards and just wait for after 25th June to get the new crystal. This has created a an unfair advantage no ?

    Act 6 rewards gives you a AG that would of again affected awakening choices and who people would of awakened with the generic gem from abyss. So the players should now also complain that because the AG gave them a specific class they could of saved their generic gem therefore its unfair that others get this better informed choice.

    You are basically asking for people who don't use their resources and can make better rank up decisions to be given less rewards to compensate for you brashness in ranking up champions. Which is just ridiculous.

    The disagree button is like the equivalent to when you lose an argument in real life so you have to resort to some sort of insult instead like " Well you're just an idiot"

    That is correct. You choose a Class, and you receive an Abyss Class Nexus Crystal. When you open that Crystal, you will get 10 choices pulled from the Base Pool of that Class only!

    You do still have to choose the class before you open the T5CC though.
    I can choose the class before Open 2 crystals T5CC !!! What a benefit If I chose mystic class to get mystic champ of 10 options for example and When I open 2 T5cc get ( science and skill ) ?

    People who done 100% will not effect with this change because they have opened 2 T5cc before so when they receive nexus crystal they will be free to get choose , Plus 15k shard!

    Sorry this is not Fair Mr.mike.

    Reducing the Act 6 difficulty and giving people the same rewards wouldn't be "fair" to those of us that finished it already. I don't expect squat from that if and when that change gets made.
    Here the difficulty isnt changing, it is remaining the same.... how is that a fair comparison?

    Players who already completed the Abyss are the only ones who have been disadvantaged by being denied options you now have. 15k shards is meaningless in relation to the advantage you now have over them.
    Wrong. We have no prior knowledge, shooting in the dark on class while infact, we can "rank" whoever we end up pulling months later because of no t5cc (screwed by rng again). So we have no choice. I used my initial t5cc already (domino), now i shoot in the dark and hope to pull a t5cc later?
  • pseudosanepseudosane Member, Guardian Posts: 4,092 Guardian
    The reason players are upset isn't that rewards are getting buffed. It is the way Kabam is implementing the changes. I could care less about 15k shards. It is the fact that Kabam wants RNG to mess up a moment of victory (exploring abyss), by forcing you to choose a champion before the t5cc that totally influences that decision. Is it possible to reverse that order? Yes. But they dont want to do that. Feels so petty, so cheap. Even when you win, you lose. Absolutely despise that mindset.

    You're right the difficulty isn't changing the rewards are. In my example the difficulty changes but the rewards don't.

    It's fine for someone to get the same for less effort but a massive injustice for someone to get less for the same effort? Neither is "fair". People here don't actually care about "fair" though, only whichever situations effect them negatively.
  • pseudosanepseudosane Member, Guardian Posts: 4,092 Guardian

    Yes, I would have made different decisions if the Abyss Nexus was in play. The ability to make Informed decisions will always be more powerful than 15k random shards.

    In the interest of being fair (Again this is why I’m posting) Players are claiming a disadvantage arising from the extra 15k shards others will have from the abyss while discounting and ignoring that they also have a significant and more impactful advantage with being able to make decisions with the Abyss crystal in play. If people want fair Kabam can leave the shards and return the resources and champions to all players who used them prior to the crystals addition. But that isn’t going to happen so people need to drop their victimhood and accept that sometimes all parties will be disadvantaged, that “fairness” isn’t an absolute and sometimes being handicapped in differing ways is equality.
    Nothing informed when you dont know what t5cc you going to get. Guess and pray.

    Even thou im grateful for the update to Abyss, i have an issue with it, my issue is people that completed Abyss already keep their 45k 6 star shards and also receive the updated nexus crystal now hear me out, if i completed abyss and get a tech or skill t5CC i can pick a skill or tech nexus 6 star crystal and hope for ghost or nick fury and rank that champ up now for people like myself and others when we complete Abyss we have to pick the nexus without knowing what t5cc we're going to be pulling eg i pick mystic to get a doom but pull a cosmic t5CC and a science t5cc hows that fair when someone who already pull their t5cc can gauge to what champ they want of that class to rank up not only that but they also keep their extra 15k 6 star shards. I think Kabam should allow us to get the T5CC first then we can decide what class of the nexus crystal we want to choose or just make the T5CC a selector crystal, also just leave the shards a 45k. Thanks for the update anyhow.

    There is an easy fix for this, why can’t they just send the nexus crystal as an in an in game message after you 100% the abyss. That way people can open their other rewards and make a more informed decision
