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.

The Class Combat events (with the 5 different types of Kill Finishing extra bonus), as well as less often Class Arena events, have been very easily reached.
At least up to final milestone every time, and quite well above that for 20% or 10% ranks as well.
Very little time needed for any of them.

So while Advancement seems to not be coming up, it's not like you’re missing out on easily attained rewards in other 7-hr events.

And since LevelUp (for now) is every 3 days, all your rank ups can still be done fairly often.

We’re not talking about if it’s easy to meet the milestone, we’re talking about the crazy repetitive class combats solo events and disappeared class advancement solo events

Btw, LevelUp doesn’t include Rank up and Crystal opening, which some how reduces the players’ incentive to open crystals or Ranking up champions.

I did see two advancement events pop up back-to-back today. So either they fixed it or they manually threw us a couple more.

The problem even with arena battle events not coming up often enough is that their program has been counting every combat event as different if it has a different "vanquishing blow" option. So instead of a random rotation between 6 each of combat, advancement and arena battle events, where each one has a 1 out of 3 chance of coming up, we now have heaven knows how many combat events rotating among the other ones...maybe 30 combat events vs. 6 advancement and 6 arena battle. It's an improper way to program the rotation. Combat events shouldn't be counted as unique just because they have a different "vanquishing blow."

I do believe advancement events were simply left out of the rotation entirely for much of this time because they truly didn't come up for days and days at a time twice now, while arena battle events still occasionally showed up.

It seems like they follow a pattern now:
Weekdays: Class combats+Class Arena Battle
Weekends: Class advancement

It would be great if 5-star dual class crystals were counted for advancement. I know they’re a new introduction but that seems like an oversight.

In my experience, it’s limited to Sunday for class advancement solo events. Just. One. Day. A. Week. Thass it.

Right.....hope they update the algorithm soon.

so guys... no more duel credits!?
I mean they were really useful and now they have been removed totally..... and there is no quest/any events giving it out... so no more charges for dueling the opponents?

CoatHang3r

Has anyone been paid out for the arena wins 22hour solo that ended about 16 hours ago?

Nope. There also wasn't any Ranked Rewards for Skill Advancement that ended several days ago.

Question with how this ties in to Thronebreaker. Since the solo events are progression based now, shouldn’t they be updated for TBs?

I doubt it considering solo events were just updated, but now with a new progression title they’re already technically out of date 3 weeks later.

emsehven

Appreciate the update to the event rewards! They are really helpful

GAMEOVERJames

When could we see the appearance of Class advancement go back to “real RNG”....😔😔😔😔

SummonerNR

Interesting now that they resumed the Event Quest Completion...
(at least today for Uncollected, some doubt whether events are same for everyone, every day, no matter your Progression, some others with multiple/different progression acct's said they were not on same 3-event rotation prior to random kicking in now with resumption of EQC).

Event Quest Comp POINTS still lists BEGINNER difficulty, lol.

JediJones77

The algorithm for the combat/arena/advancement events now seems back to normal. Yay.

I don’t think so....class combats are still the majority...

@GAMEOVERJames , do you mean EQ was the previous event (Saturday, when I posted), or what just started Sunday ?
Sunday now (UC) is Arena Wins for me.

Same here.

I had Event Quest Complete two days ago (or three days, can’t really remember)

SummonerNR

Although update to Solo Events was nice...
Now I’ve got at least 25x of the 15% Attack Boosts expiring in the front 10 days of Stash. And about 50x of the 4* Sig Stones (that don’t even count toward Class Advancement Events, even when they do show up).
Should I just use a 15% Attack boost on every normal quest and AQ/AW path I do now (even though don’t need to) ?

And changes seem to have forgotten about revisiting the LOYALTY STORE, which for some reason still offers lesser 10% Attack Boosts than the 15% you get for free from all these new Solo Events.

don't open dual class crystals if your expecting to get points during a class advancement. i opened during the last mutant advancement a 5* dual class crystal, 4* dual class crystal, 4* nexus crystal, 3* shard crystal, 8 phc, 12 collector crystals, 4 grandmaster monster crystals and only received 4100 points.
1 5* dual class should be 3000
1 4* dual class should be 2000
1 4* nexus should be 2450 or 2000
1 3* shard should be 1300
8 phc should each be 350 coming to 2800
collector & grandmaster gets nothing which makes no sense but ok.
i sent a email telling kabam this & they say the only crystals that count towards the event are the exact crystals mentioned. that's weird seeing that they counted before. so by that logic don't bother opening any of the featured hero crystals or dual class crystals if your expecting to get points.

No, they're not. It's back to the normal algorithm.

No, they didn't count before. Nothing has changed. The same crystals that did not count before do not count now. I think they should too, but they never have.

GAMEOVERJames

I think that using a generic awakening gems on certain class of champs can be included in 7hr-class advancement

Currently, only using class awakening gems is counted
