Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A Summoner's Life For Me!

Greetings Summoners!

Arrrrrrrr - we be given’ Captain Flint a run for his stash o’ rum! This is your opportunity to do your best Jim Hawkins, Summoner style, on this inspired journey through our very own, Mutant Treasure Island!

LAND AHOY!

NEW quest details, so pay close attention!

We dock at the Island of Krakoa, on September 2, 2020. Strange as it were, tales recount access to the Island requires no Energy or any other forms of payment at all. However, travellers beware, Mutants have taken to erecting locked gates along marked paths, identified by Difficulty, to the hidden treasure chests containing the likes of Crystals, Catalysts, Awakening Gems and more. The Mutants answer to one master, the master of this Island, one scoundrel of a seadog who goes by the name of… Platinum Jones.

Should you wish to travel these paths in search of Jones’ scattered treasures, one must possess a very particular model of Key, called an ISO Key, to which no living soul has acquired the blueprints for. Jones is fully aware of his monopoly so you will have to earn his favour if you be wanting those Keys! What would a salty dog like Jones want, you say? Well, we hear he enjoys the thrill of sending travelers on solo adventures in order to complete special objectives. Complete the objectives to Jones’ satisfaction and you will be granted one of Jones’ Lockers. In it, you will have the opportunity to select one (1) Key of your choosing. As Jones alone holds the right to the Keys, he is not likely to entertain you for more than once a day for the duration of our stay. However, in case you’ve found the bottom of the rum barrel the night before, Jones might be inclined to save you a Locker for the days you were missing in action, but not before you complete the very same objectives you would have owed to him! A word of caution: these Keys have been known to dematerialise after each use, so you will need a new Key for each path you choose to enter. Tricky business, these Keys!

From there, it will be up to you to defeat the resident Mutants, and any of the Island’s other rogue inhabitants, that guard the chests and claim the hidden treasures of Krokoa. Before we send you on your way, our scouts took the shores in the dead of night so they could deliver the following report.

SCOUT REPORT:
Our scouts have reported 28 paths per Difficulty, with Hidden Characters along each of the various paths, and rather unpredictable Bosses. Apparently, Deadpool has also been spotted on the path of Epic Difficulty and up to his usual mischief on the Island, so be on your guard for this familiar face!

We set sail again in about a month’s time, on October 7, 2020. Explore at your own risk; stay on the paths! Travellers have been known to stray from the paths and come to perish on the Island. We hope you meet a happier fate.

Fair travels, Summoners. May your adventures on Krakoa be bountiful.

LEGENDARY DIFFICULTY

The walls have ears. We hear you wish to be challenged further, that we have been too kind. We hear your chants, and we answer with Legendary Difficulty.

REWARDS

Thanks to some of our more zealous scouts, we have even secured reports on potential contents of these elusive treasure chests, which all seem to carry a certain curious star rating:

1-Star Chests:
Gold, sweet Gold

2-Star Chests:
Hero Crystals or Hero Crystal Shards

3-Star Chests:
Catalyst Fragments, Catalysts or Catalyst Crystals

4-Star Chests:
Signature Stone Crystals or Awakening Gem Crystal

Remember! These can all be found INSIDE the treasure chests!

***UPDATE: Friday, September 4, 2020

This has been a journey for us all. We're happy to confirm that the event is back up and running as intended. Most of the event functionality is going to be the same, so please review the main post for a refresher, if you need it! However, we appreciate that you may have some questions in light of the recent interruptions, so please also read this quick Q&A. We hope this answers your pressing questions about the event!

Q: Can I run the first path (before the event was paused) and claim the rewards there again?
A: Yes, you may. But all paths going forward will only allow you to claim the rewards once.

Q: Are all the rewards shown on the path now instead of hiding in treasure chests?
A: Yes! They will be laid out on the path now instead of being hidden in treasure chests.

Q: Have any of the rewards moved since the original map (before the pause)?
A: Yes, unfortunately, they've gone on a bit of a shuffle. But they are also laid out on the map now so you will be able to see where the rewards you want are located!

Q: Will the Keys still disappear after they use it to unlock a path? Will the path remain open (with no more rewards) once it's unlocked?
A: Yes, the Key will still disappear once you've unlocked the path. If you do not complete the path and quit, the Key will be returned to you and the path will be locked again. If you complete the path, then the Key will disappear and the path will remain unlocked. Remember! You MUST COMPLETE the path in order to claim all the rewards you've earned along the path; if you DO NOT COMPLETE the path, then the path will be locked and reset (rewards are placed back along the path), and you get your Key back.

Q: Will the Champions along the path and Bosses stay the same?
A: Yes! Any mysterious Champions along the path marked with a "?" will be a random (from a limited pool) Mutant, and the Bosses are still random (from a limited pool of Mutants) for everybody!

Q: Can you claim the rewards on the open paths more than once?
A: Again, NO, you cannot! Besides, the rewards won't be there anymore once you complete the path and claim all the rewards along the path!

Stoked. Might as well explore UC Difficulty while this isn't up yet.

I already ran out of energy to do that now I'm bored af

Stoked. Might as well explore UC Difficulty while this isn't up yet.

That's exactly what I'm doing.

...although I'm already almost done, just have to full explore the last quest.

I did not run it so the ban won't/wouldn't impact me, but I don't think anyone should be banned. Just take back what people shouldn't have gotten. Players shouldn't be punished for the mistake, even players who knew it was a mistake. When a business makes a mistake it should be on them, not the customer.

It's not that simple to take back those rewards who have claimed several times as they might have already used AGs...It will take atleast months to do that if not more

Good point.

We have noted your concerns, folks! We are doing our very best to ensure the smoothest return of your Island adventure. We appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter. Again, please trust that the team is considering the best possible solutions for everybody to resume your Island adventure as quickly, and smoothly, as possible!
Also, as many players mentioned, please mention difficulty level on each key.. That would be easy to understand instead of looking for colors or whatever..

I knew your profile name its indian movie right....
Starring prabhas as actor......really a fantastic film....i never dreamt that india will produce such film..

Kill_Grey

Wait, is this side quest the first iteration of "legendary difficulty"?

_LachiePlayz123_

Everyone needs to chill out. They have said they are working on it. Would you feel any better if they said the exact same thing again? Cause you can be assured they are working on it. Things takes time sadly just how it is. It will be up any sooner by people flooding the forum with posts and nagging

Agreed. Walk outside, have a drink, read a book. Do work. It’s all going to be fine.

Woke up and I’m pretty sure I’m right, today hopefully is the day it returns. If not than it’ll be all the way to Monday likely...

BowTieJohn

I do hope this will be back soon. Just going to wait patiently with hope it will be sooner as opposed to later.

MaxGaming

Lets just hope that is comes back at 10p.m.

Guys lets give Kabam a break they are running this game on a old platform and has a bug here and there but they try to fix it they may have their ups and downs but arguing about the downs won't help anyone it will just get annoying even if it is true what you are arguing about its not going to make the fix come faster so stop complaining about this bug and look toward the good things they done

DR89

To exploit = make use of (a situation) in a way considered unfair or underhand.
Many people have used a lot of units (or real money to get units) in order to defeat the silver surfer in the show up difficulty of the summer slam (before the nerf). Kabam then nerfed the node but the people who already did the initial fight never got anything back or in return for this error. This was intentional and an obvious exploit done by Kabam. This does not even compare to a couple of sig stones obtained in a way that did not seem unnatural - sig stones some ppl never even used. Sig stones are not an awesome resource and nowhere did it say you should do a path only once, thus can be assumed normal.
So if I have a bug in my game, I punish my employees, not my customers. Taking the items away makes sense, but giving 7 days ban to money spenders for a mistake made by kabam makes no sense at all. I could understand 1 day, but 7??? And all for **** rewards even. If I go to a restaurant and get 2 deserts, should I be told to never go back there? I do believe this to be abuse and nothing else.

Well, somewhat my sentiment. They're doing what they can, and there's no use falling apart over it. I'm waiting myself, but it'll be up when it's ready. Not much we can do but do something else.

Dearest Summoners,

It has been a straining two days for us all. Firstly, please allow us to express that we are fully aware of the undue stress and toll this bug has taken on the community, and also to express our most sincerest apologies to you all. Like you, we were very excited about this event as it would have been the first time we are trying out some new mechanics, carefully crafted through feedback from all of you (no energy, open paths, etc). Again, we’re disappointed that it didn’t quite work out the way we’d hoped. But we promise we had only good intentions and hoped to deliver on some of the feedback you’ve given us.

We acknowledge that we have let this unfortunate bug slip through the cracks, and we’re very sorry about it. Our team is deeply disappointed about this unforeseen circumstance and regret the necessary course of actions. However, as we hope you’ll come to understand, the show must go on, and so we must maintain the economy and stability of the game, which led us to enforce this temporary ban on players who have either knowingly or unknowingly participated in the bug exploit.

To those of you facing this consequence: we still appreciate you deeply as a player and have chosen to take some time to balance your accounts so that you may continue to enjoy the game again. This is a complicated situation and so in order for us to adjust your account properly and without jeopardizing its health otherwise, we will need that length of extra time. We hope you will all come to understand this very difficult decision we have had to make, and know that we did this with all your and your fellow Summoners' best interests at heart and in mind.

Finally, another word of apology to all of you for the grief. Please do not fight among yourselves. Summoners must stick together and we, at Kabam, stand by all of you as well.

With a heavy heart but filled with love,

The Kabam team

Thank you Boo, we understand that it is a difficult challenge to face to overcome the obstacles that this unfortunate bug has created. Can we get a time on when the side event can come back up. We have waited very long and all I ask is for a time/date. I can wait however long this takes patiently but all I ask is for a time/date for when this approximately might come back. Thank you again for doing your best for the community. 😀😀

@kabam Boo, you guys killed it with the quest with the one run I did, I say you guys hit this ball out of the park. But me like many others would like to know a time the content may enter the game once more? Will it be today or early next week? Thanks again.

Or today just saying...

Stagedear85

@kabam Boo may be the best person Kabam could've hired man this guy know how to talk to people what a well written apology, i understand and hope you guys get things right looking forward to whats ahead and while you guys are at it please put back completion rewards on uncollected difficulty.

Yodabolt21

Also, just FYI, they removed the chests and replaced them with the actual rewards now. Would have been nice to know as I wasted a key on the Iron Fist path hoping to get an AG, but instead, will end up with 25 tier 4 catalysts... woo hoo. My fault for not looking I guess.

Also, it is back up, for me at least.

elwe1990

The map is revealed. We see all the rewards trough the map. I didn't move just in case is a bug and you think I'm cheating

Kabam с острова Взял рот великолепного и 8 кристаллов , с 8 кристаллов два раза получил ноги великолепного. Что делать со вторыми ногами ?

Scopeotoe987

I’m still hyped for the event, but I got another useless science gem which has nearly killed the excitement I had. But it’s still a great event.

Aqrex

@Kabam Miike After the mutant treasure island returned , I have faced a few bugs which i want to inform the kabam team
1.there is a visual bug where the rewards are not displayed on the completion pop up screen but i have still received the reward(the reward is 5* featured crystal)
2.when i quit a quest as i could not defeat the boss, i got my keys back and the path i took was closed but the reward was missing. So when i checked the crystals tab i had got the reward even when i had not defeated the boss(reward is the 5* awakening gem crystal)

(P.s. i hope this is not considered as a exploit and i am not banned)
