Update to Solo Events

Summoners!

As mentioned in our Dev Diary on The Champions of the Contest, we’ve been working on some major revisions to Solo Events! We started by looking at ways to add Signature Stones to Solo Events, but then decided, why stop there?

There are some big changes coming to Solo Events, including updates to the rewards and solo crystals!

Progression based Events

Currently, Solo Events are available to Summoner in 3 different buckets based on Prestige. We’re doing away with this, and moving to use Campaign Progression instead!

As you move up through each Progression Level, you’ll find your 22-Hour Solo Event Milestone and Rank rewards keep getting better! 7-Hour Solo Events will also change as you progress but are lumped into groups of Progression Levels.

The Events

There aren’t any new events at this time, but there are some things to note.

First, while the number of points for doing a certain task will not change, as your progression level increases, the points required to achieve each milestone will as well. This should help less experienced Summoners achieve these milestones, and progress with a player as they move further in their journey.

Quest Completion now awards more points for completing the Uncollected Difficulty Event Quests and even more for completing the Cavalier Difficulty Event Quests!

Hero Use has seen a pretty big update. A big part of it is that 5-Star and 6-Star Champion usage now gives more points than 4-Star Champion usage. Additionally, players gain different amounts of points depending on if they are fighting in an Arena, Duel, or Quest, and get bonus points based on the rarity level of the enemy defeated!

Class Combat Events will now only award points for fighting, and also award bonus points for finishing fights with specific final attacks!

Make sure to check out the “How to Score Points” info for events when they come back around.

Changes to Solo Crystals

Say goodbye to different Shards for different Crystals. Moving forward, Solo Events will award “Solo Crystal Shards”, and you can use them to purchase Solo Crystals (1000 Shards) (formerly known as Lesser Solo Crystals), Greater Solo Crystals (2000 Shards), or the new Supreme Solo Crystal, available for 10 000 Shards!

The new Supreme Solo Crystals contain some very valuable rewards, such as 5 and 6-Star Arena Boosts, 4 and 5-Star Signature Stone Crystals, 4-Star Awakening Gems, as well as Lesser Champion, Health, and Attack Boosts, and even a chance at 4500x Tier 5 Basic Catalyst Fragments or 7200x Tier 2 Alpha Catalyst Fragments! These Crystals are only available to Summoners that have become Uncollected, and also don’t contain any Experience Boosts!

Sorry stockpilers, your existing Lesser and Greater Solo Crystal shards will not change to the new Solo Crystal Shards. They’ll be mass converted into Solo and Greater Solo Crystals.

Rewards for Solo Events

Right now, different events give different rewards. Moving forward, all events will have the same set of Milestone and Rank Rewards. That just makes sense, right?

Coming Soon!

You won’t be waiting long for these updates. New Solo events are going through final passes with our QA team, and are targeted to launch on Tuesday (barring any possible last-minute issues found in testing that could cause a delay)! Keep in mind that some of the old 7 Hour events may spawn before the new ones are activated. Additionally, the new 22 Hour Quest Completion Solo Event will not spawn until October, as it requires the October Monthly Quest to accurately award points.

Why has the opening of any hero crystal been taken out of the combat and level up event ?
If u do not what people to stock pile crystals give them an incentive to open them.

Crystal opening was never in level up (22 hour) event. As for 7 hour combat it was removed as a way to score points, but they added a "finisher" as another way to score, I do believe crystal opening is still going to be in Class Advancement scoring as Kabam didn't say otherwise, but there hasn't been one since the change.

In the past for 7 hour events there were
6 class combat events
6 class arena events
6 class advancement events

This is speculation, but an educated guess that there are now at least 18 or more class combat events (sp1 version, sp2 version and medium ending version have been revealed so far. Lets assume for arguments sake there is also light attack finisher and sp3 finisher. If correct, the number of events will look like this:

30 class combat events (5 different finisher per class)
6 class arena events
6 class advancement events

This would explain the high concentration of combat events in the first 7 events since release and explain why there have been 2 science and 2 skill combat events already.

I wonder if Kabam will confirm this?

SummonerNR

While the new 7-he Class Combat events now have different “finishing kill” bonus's, I don’t think that will count as having 5 times as many base potential choices for “Combat” as to what event is randomly chosen.

I would assume (either) the choice is still 1/3 between Arena, Combat, Advancement (with then a 1/6th secondary choice of which Class). -or- 18 different choices (up to that point, but really doesn’t matter which of those first 2 ways)....

**and then** if a Combat is selected, an additional random choice is done to select which special “finishing kill” is involved.

At least, that's probably how it should be.

Must say, I love the addition of “finishing kill” to the event (like they had done with some special events in the past”.
Adds variety to your fights, like a “game within a game”.

”.

I agree with that.

Historically, for the 7 hour event, it was rng with the last 6 events selected ineligible to be the next one. Based on the fact skill and science were chosen in 4 of the first 5 events, I don't think it IS being done the way that we both agree it should be....

Nick_Caine_32

Mostly happy with these changes, but really annoyed that I'm getting arena boosts so much still. I hate them and barely use them. I would rather have 2 and 3 star sig stones or ISO instead of these. Just personal preference but a step in the right direction with this at least.

So with the new addition of the Throne Breaker progression level, will there be additional rewards to what is shown here? @Kabam Miike

Fantasy_91

RIP duel credits. They make it easier to duel by launching the permanent duel targets. And give us plenty of objectives that most complete by dueling. But now its required to spend units instead of quickly farming a few duel credits if you don't stay caught up and already used your 5 freebie duels that day.

DERA

How about solo and greater solo fragments? U combined theme. I lost my fragments

TrashPanda12

I'm really enjoying the boost in rewards. I got some t5 basic fragments from the superior crystal too. But what I like most is that we can get 2 sig stones a day, plus some t5 basic and t2 alpha.

DragonHawk

Will there be class advancement 7h solo events?

Treinin

Please do something about the lack of duel credits to be found anywhere in the game now, or just remove the limit on duels (and rewards if you want) and let us just practice as much as we want.

6* sig stone pls 😅

TheTalents

I just want to thank Kabam on the change. Surprising I don't have Doom or Silver Surfer maxed out so they can still impact my prestige. This will help me emmensely so I wanted to say thanks for keeping your promise on giving us more access to 5 star sig stones. It is a complete game changer for all of us who haven't 100% abyss or don't have 5 star doom and Silver surfer.

kenadroid

Is it just me or is it that I haven't seen a 7 hour class advancement event yet?

rivet

Not just you, I find it wierd that we have not seen one yet, hope it is not being eliminated

Agreed, personally I think the 22hr Level Up event is enough. Let the 7hr solos be more oriented around the fighting aspect. I'm sure it's just some Kabam RNG and we will see the Class Adv 7hr solos at some point.

So far 7 Combat and 4 Arena 7hr solos have been offered.

Ken1378

So, have the 7hr Class Advancement events been removed?

Ollyoxenfree

So, have the 7hr Class Advancement events been removed?

Exactly what I came here to find out. 4 days since solo change and not a single class advancement 7 hour solo.

JediJones77

Me too. This is not normal. The Class Advancements are not running anymore either by Kabam's intention or by error.

Definitely worried that they've been ended. The worst aspect of this change is that they took away crystal openings from giving points in combat events. They may have decided they don't want to give any award for crystal openings anymore, which would mean Advancement events have to go.

QQBill

It might actually be good for Class Advancement events to be eliminated — it can be kind of annoying to have everything you need to improve a key champion or open up a crystal for some star rating that you don’t have much of and then have to choose between either waiting around for an event to get some prizes (that were never that great really) and acting right away in order to be able to complete the content that is next on your agenda (but then missing out on some prizes, even not-so-great ones). It is not like they are being replaced with nothing — they are being replaced with more fighting events which are also nice. There is still some pressure to wait to improve your roster because there are still Level Up events, but there is just a lot less.

I still find this situation frustrating though because there is no announcement either way.

Space_goo

Checked alt account, not cav, and has class adv

Feels nice to pop xtals wanton

stillyld

Has anyone noticed with all the daily challenge changes with rewards, not one advancement challenge has popped up .. Did Kabam get rid of those or are they in process of updating those too?

So far 7 Combat and 4 Arena 7hr solos have been offered.

are u aware that 7 hours can also means quality sleep for people who have OCD issues? These people will try to complete every single quest because it irritates them in a way not many would understand.

Quality of life is one aspect the game developer have to consider giving to the player. We cannot assume everyone is the same as ourself.

Bring back the rank up solo that obviously removed by them on trial to see the players responses. They asked us to keep our discussion in line without giving us information and feedback is unacceptable and hypocritical.

As someone with Clinical OCD, the game is not responsible for my disorder, and I find it off-putting when people use that as a justification for content. The Events haven't even cycled through yet so we don't know what's coming or not. There's been no note of a removal, so I think it's best not to assume. In any case, we'll survive.

Kabam Zibiit

We're checking with the rest of the team about the class advancement events and will update once we have more info on them.

Since duel credits are gone, are you going to remove the unit cost?

Funny how lot of ppl used to ask why did we even still had Duel Credit items after Duels Event was removed a while back. Now everyone wants to keep Duel Credits in game, lol.

Making 0-cost infinite duels would allow infinite Hero Use or Combat (including Ally 3-day category events) points.
So if they remove the limits, then the Events should remove Duels from counting for points, making them only good for practice or daily Targets.

And then the duel stats shown on a summoner profile should probably be removed as well, because it would become irrelevant.

Appreciate the move Kabam, but i feel you missed out on making T1A more available.

I am currently uncollected and all rank up resources are available in the milestones/rank rewards in some quantity, except for T1A.

I wish you guys could have maybe put it in the 'Supreme solo crystals' with greater odds (since the odds of getting t2a and t5b frags are anyway low (1.00%), or maybe simply increased the odds in the 'Greater solo crystal' (its just 0.45% there).

There are literally no T1A Catalysts/Fragments anywhere in solo objectives, even for lower progression levels.
