T1 Alpha Daily Event

BigBlueOx · July 2020

Just throwing this against the wall to see if it sticks but could we get a Daily Event that provides a guaranteed T1Alpha like there is for T1-T4cc and basic for players Uncollected or Caviler? The bottle neck of getting champs 5* to R3 is pretty frustrating. This could be alleviated with an assured avenue of acquiring this catalyst.

Something different then arena or glory

There is an arena for that you can get 3.

But that comes out what, once a week? Not to mention to R4 a single 5* you need 6, and to R3 you need 5. And in terms of glory, you can only buy 5 a week, which is great, but no one wants to waste glory on t1 Alphas.

But in all fairness. You can actually gain a lot of t1a as it is now.
If it is your limiting resource use your glory for it. If you are in a very low alliance you will still get 1900 or so glory a week. Which you can buy quite a bit of t1a for.

The problem with making the limiting resource more available is that another resource will be the limiting factor like t4b, t4c, iso, gold?
There always needs to be a limiting resource.

I’m all in for t5cc, t5bc or even t2a to be limiting resources, it makes sense. Higher tier catalysts need to be limiting resources not tier 1 (alpha in this occasion) 😉
Also, I don’t think Kabam wants high rated players waste all their weekly glory at t1a. It doesn’t make any sense 🤔

First of all, t1 alphas in glory store is way too expensive. Starts from 200 glory. And a full t4 basic starts from 280 glory. T4 basic are supposed to have much higher value than the t1 alphas. It's much easier to get a t4 basic and t4 class catalyst today than the t1 alphas. You get t1 alphas from map 1 or 2 crystals, not from map 5, 6 or 7 crystals. There's even daily quests for t4 basic and class cats. Why not there be a daily quest for t1 alpha? It takes a lot of t1 alphas to rank up the 5 star from 1 to 4. This is insane. So atleast give us a daily quest for t1 alphas so we don't have to spend all our glory on t1 alphas, which are over expensive in glory store anyway.

Ever heard of T2 Alpha, T4CC, or T5B? At Caviler R3 5 stars is the floor for usefulness and it takes 10 T1A just to get there. I’m not getting 10 out of the glory store or the arena on a week. Even if it was only .5 of a T1A a day it would be a much better situation. At Cav. T1A shouldn’t be more limiting that T2A

MΛDMUNK · July 2020

We are a semi relaxed alli, doing around 500k in SA every week, and reaches almost all 3 day events - that gives us 3 t1a per week.

We do around 150k in AQ every time and gets about 3700 glory.
With all the other things I need to buy, t5bc and t2a, there’s just enough(maybe) left to buy 1 or 2 t1a.

So if I played the t1a arena I would get approx 7 or 8 every week(however I hate arena, so that will not happen😉).

When you look at how much t1a a 5 star requires, the t1a needs to be adjusted to today’s requirement..

You're supposed to "waste glory" on T1As. T1As used to drop in crystals, and then Kabam changed things and added the Glory store so that players could decide to shift resources to the things they needed the most instead of having to rely on random drops from crystals. It is literally nonsensical to not spend glory on T1A if you need T1A, because that is literally what it is there for. If you choose not to spend glory on T1A, when glory exists to allow you to have more control over what you get from AQ than you used to, that's entirely your choice.

Also, the Glory store limit is ten, not five. I just bought four last week, because I depleted most of mine doing a bunch of rank ups, and I'm going to start building them up again. Because that's why they're there.

You are supposed to spend glory when the price is reasonable. 220 glory as starting price is extremely high at least.
Note that t1a is the only catalyst it’s price haven’t been reduced at glory store for over a year (at least 3 glory store prices update).
I’m personally spending 3550 glory weekly for t1a, and I would spend more if the cap was higher.
How reasonable is that for an 1.4mil 10k+ prestige account?
Kabam SHOULD reprice t1a at glory store and increase their availability.
It’s just an annoying, unnecessary bottleneck that offers nothing to the game other than frustration 😠

Which bottlenecks are the good ones you don't mind players having to deal with?

Speeds80 · July 2020

That’s already been covered high end bottlenecks have always made sense, low end have always frustrated people. Because things like not changing their availability while you increase the availability of all the other resources (take this months side quest Or act 6 for example, everything except t1a) just looks and smells like bad design by omission.
The arguments there will always be a bottleneck and deal with it never hold water to me, people make logical suggestions and get told that kabam should never address an imbalance? Personally how I’m playing it’s not a big imbalance but a daily quest for half-1 t1a, is hardly going to break the game, some people think design should never be questioned, let’s follow those examples to the extreme, what if a 7* came out and needs 20 t1a to rank 2 but only one of everything else, someone says imbalance and the naysayer says that’s the way they designed it, deal with it. Why does there always have to be people arguing against logical suggestions, more t1a via a grind method will not break the game, period

Exactly my problem. How do 5* R3s help me clear content beyond Cav? Simple, they really don’t unless your pro. The bottlenecks should be R4/R5, or 6star tank ups. Not grinding for two weeks just R3

solivagant56 · July 2020

@Kabam Miike @Kabam Lyra please acknowledge this thread. It's a very important issue. T1 alphas availability is very low for players who play map 5 and above.

Can't emphasize that enough.

Nobody is arguing against growth limiting resources. If you think an abundance of T1 Alpha for Cav players will break the game then you simply aren’t Cav or are growing 6stars, which in that case good for you.

Katiebeth84 · July 2020

I agree I also think t2 alpha need to be more available they got quest for t1234 regular cats why not have a day were its alpha cats ,

njandy · July 2020

i need t1 alpha more than anything. 5 star hero’s require so many of them. to totally rank a 5 star costs what...22 t1 alphas?? maybe when the rank up requirement costs t2a they remove the requirement of t1. treat it just the same as class catalysts.

BigBlueOx · September 2020

Again... my roster stalls out for this silly resource. It’s annoying

Shamir51 · September 2020

There’s an arena for it.
There are 6 in EQ every month.
This months side quest gives you 7.
There is the glory store.
If you have the sigil, there are a further 2 every week.
The 3 day alliance events give you 1.
SA gives you 1 if you’re in an active alliance.

Putting that aside, variants have plenty of rank up gems, saving the need for T1A for certain rank ups and last months events also had a few generic rank up gems.

There were also 5(?) in boss rush.

Not sure I can see a shortage here.

BigBlueOx · September 2020

Either you are further along in your roster or just aren’t pulling great champs. It takes 22 T1A to R5 a single champ. You take 4 new champs to R2 you blow through it. Or 2 new champs to R3. For Cav players this is a silly growth limiting resource as T2A and T5 already serve that purpose.
