It just occurred to me that they made a 5-star generic gem the centerpiece of the 5000-unit deal in the same month they gave one away for free. And signature stones in the same month they put something like 80 stones in the gamma store.
As a TB player I do empathize with all the cavalier players; it does seem that Kabam was so focused on incentivizing the jump to throne breaker status that they lost sight of the sweet spot for those still a ways off from advancing to TB. Ideally they should have maintained or given a slight bump to the ID4 deals for the cavalier offers, this way a large majority of the player base would’ve still appreciated that the offers would allow for meaningful account progression towards TB status. I’m sorry you guys got shafted by kabam. Perhaps next time they could reach out to a sample group to conduct focus group-like surveys on what we’d like to see in such offers from a marketing standpoint.
To all the naysayers out there who think that Kabam won’t budge, don’t lose hope; let your voices be heard. Even though it’s unlikely Kabam will budge from company policy, if enough noise is generated by you lot it might make a difference seeing as how they’re aware that now they’re gonna be losing a whole lot of revenue this holiday season.
Not trying to be rude, but what do you expect to happen when there's 100 posts made about the weekend deals months in advance, and people doing ridiculous "countdown" threads to these offers? When you let a business know you have money to burn, where's the incentive for them to put out the best deals possible??? Everyone should have seen this coming from a mile away. It's unacceptable, but the player base didn't help the situation in the least bit.
The posts about how eager people were to spend...most of them had expectations attached for what they’d get back. Every single holiday is like this, and Kabam usually does okay-to-great. How’s this for an incentive - you avoid an 800 post topic about how people hate you for treating them like garbage?
If someone went on this board ten days ago and said, “Even though the meta has way more 6-star shards, t5b, t5cc, and 5-star sig stones, the Cavalier offers will include less of all of those things than they did 5 months ago,” then we would’ve put them in a friggin straitjacket.
I grinded 5000 units. I kept them. I planned to spend 30-50 dollars. I kept that too.

It’s not that they didn’t see this coming. Sure, they anticipated the TB offers would be damn sweet, but they didn’t expect the cavalier offers to be super underwhelming.
These cavalier offers were made for free to play. I highly recommend to become free to play as it is much more enjoyable when you see the offers that do not help you progress as you wish. The bonus is you save your money and watch the whales whale out. Still a very fun game for free to play.
As soon as Thronebreaker was announced I figured the new tier offers would be implemented by cyber weekend. I usually buy min 1 Odin and and whatever to offset the cost to get me to 15k units for the deal. I don't have the niche needs for certain gates to get Thronebreaker so decided not to spend when it was announced. Once my cash doesnt go as far as someone elses its a nobrainer decision not to spend. I get these tiers have been around for years now but I'm not getting ripped off unless I'm getting the top value. i honestly think the tier system is fine for units but not real world cash but thats just an opinion. I would imagine Kabam ran the data and saw they stood to maximize profits from the big throne breaker spenders that probably buy everything and some cav players that don't mind getting ripped as opposed to putting a deal out that satisfied most. Remember if your were forced to R3 a trash 6* thats a huge resource you wasted so you are in the hole and the best way to dig yourself out is spending more. Calculated right? Oh well theres alwas july 4th if I'm still playing, already scaled back in AW b/c platinum 2% t5cc are scraps not worth the effort. Stay safe and Happy Holidays
One question for those who did not spend, which is many, would you spend over the next few days, if the offers were beefed up, like more t5cc or t5b added to deals? Got to give some more info just in case....you never know lol. Not likely but who knows

If I could get the 6,000 fragments I need to take Doom up, and not being paying $150 for a 1/6 chance at it? Absolutely.
Not this trash.
Thats my thought, t5cc frag selector or double the t5cc if its not a selector, and throw in a t5b or 2 and i would be happy

I would have preferred the July 4 offers to these offers. I’d spend 5000 units for the July 4 deal if given the chance again.

This is a very thoughtful post. No posturing, no “git gud,” no “go do Abyss and Map 7 with max mods bruh.”

I know this has been said already but pretty bummed looking at throne breaker and cavalier deals. 30$ bucks for a 6* nexus wouldve been nice or even 50$ for cavalier. This was my first major holiday deal being cavalier. Major let down wanted to try and get at least 1 6* to throne breaker and now thats nonexistent. You got me and I still spent money just trying to get a good 6* roster to move up in the game. I know you "kabam" prefaced your message saying there would be no changes in any way but some type of compensation would be nice. I saved up for this just to be let down just like the other Cav players in here.
What a complete joke. Was looking forward to these offers to treat myself and they are totally trash at cavalier level. Look how good the thronebreaker deals are in comparison yet because I haven’t a r3 despite having the t5 and completed act 6 I don’t qualify since I haven’t a suitable champ to rank because of rng... kabam really need to fix this title and do the right thing and Remove this stupid r3 requirement. People want to spend so give us a chance to do something about It and not penalise us. Make the offers fair and available to all. I spend around £500/600 on the 4th July deals but you won’t get a penny from me this weekend With these deals so good job there.
I'm honestly not someone who rages for compensation for each little thing, but the cav offers seriously need to be immediately changed, and those who bought it already need to receive the extra materials as compensation
It’s really sad seeing the community annoyed again. Kabam after all the effort and great changes you did since March, you really messed it up with the Thronebreaker title management. You first mush up Cavaliers with Uncollected at Glory store, to distinguish them from TB and now you give Cavaliers offers worst than July, that would be appropriate maybe for Uncollected players. You “forced” many people to r3 a champ they wouldn’t otherwise, just to get the TB title, draining the joy from players to drive their favorite champ as first r3 🙁 Kabam you can do better than this 😉
Kabam, the least us cavalier players couldve asked was a repeat of the july4 offers, but youll couldnt even live up to that. Shouldve just CTRL C CTRL V. Months of grinding units ends in Utter dissapointment. Thank you- NOT.
This! How can the Odin go from 15% t5cc in July to NONE for cyber is crazy....not to mention having the choice taken away of what to do with your t5b (instead offering a gem that can only used on 5*... a 1-2 6* gem would’ve made way more sense given the progression level. Sucks...
I just saw all the new bonuses to thronebreaker being added to the sigil next month after blocking our ability to advance this weekend. What an intense betrayal to the player base. I’ve never felt truly disrespected by Kabam this much in the past 5 years.
The t5cc is just the worst decision thus game has ever made. I do all the same content as throne breaker but get offered basically the new four star rank up material...5 stars have a year left tops, this is nonsense.
Honestly, they could take back every single offer on the Odin and just put a 10% selector and I'd be fine...I'd also be throne breaker than and actually get a good offer afterwards but nope....I guess I'll just rank 5 Hawkeye since I have every other one of my good 5 star ranked 5 already...definitely don't want to start working on any of my 50 six stars...especially since 5 stars are definitely not on there way out...we have proof of this since they've stared giving out generic awakening for free, they would never do that if they weren't permanently relevant, fight???

I think others in the community want the same.

I’ll save my money, maybe they will learn these cav deals aren’t what the players want/need and gear their holiday offers towards that.
