    Newer players already have a huge advantage over long time players in moving up faster. Glory store alone gives them a giant advantage. If anything I'm seeing in lower alliances where my alt account lives people who've grown too fast and still don't know how to play or lack fundamental understanding of things like linked nodes in AQ or AW but their accounts are already stacked with 2 or 3 r4 4 stars.

    This! My old alliance had guys with 200K+ accounts that would fight linked nodes, get wrecked and wonder why. Fighting linked nodes isn't an issue so long as you know how to work around the link, either nullifying its effects or being skilled enough to evade attacks made unblockable. The good players know which links they can beat. Seen a fair few newer players with all the champs, but none of the skills or game knowledge.

    Is not like 6* introduction
    They going to change act 4 to all 6* difficultly.

    What it have to do with new players.
    So just because they are new.
    We need to care for them so they can instantly cleared lol and rol and rttl and act 5 and master quest?

    I'm progressing through act 4 right now with the goal of eventually beating 5.2 and earning the grandmasters favour. I don't need any more help than what kabam has given. The summoners who've been playing longer had to do act 4 with 3*s, at the time 4*s were harder to get than 5* are right now. What's the point of playing if u don't want any challenge. There is a reason why act 4 rewards are really great stuff. Just try harder. It's not fair to those who've already done it if this gets any easier. If the game is too hard for you, then just quit.

    Gets it any easier? It's already easy for most people. (GencerM, HQ Sean, BrutalDLX, Seatin. Just to name a few.)

    Grandmasters favor is a reward for chapter 2 of act 5. It chances tje content in a lot of crystals.
    If you want to have those same crystals you need to become uncollected. Is simple as it is.
    You are basically asking for that in an earlier an unnecessary stage. Yiu want an extra reward that no one had in that moment. Of course that will not happen and is not necessary

    Answer the actual question. If you guys progressed fine without Grandmaster's Favor why do we still need it?

    To progress more for future content such as act 6 and beyond.
    You don't need this improvements in the beginning of act 5. Is a reward for defeating the collector

    What is wrong with my idea?
  • Eb0ny-O-M4wEb0ny-O-M4w Member Posts: 14,032 ★★★★★
    Is not necessary, it would give a lot of work and it would be unfair to the majority of players
  • RedRoosterRedRooster Member Posts: 337 ★★
    @Admin I'm gonna bite. The idea isn't inherently bad, it is unnecessary and consequently bad from the perspective that it takes focus away from what the dev team and game designers should really be doing... fixing the existing issues that are currently plaguing the game and creating new content.

    Kabam have already increased the rewards received naturally in the game via event and calendar rewards and 90% of those rewards mean very little to end game players, they are nice to have, but don't make or break their progression. Even the uncollected rewards are nice to have, but don't make a massive difference, most of the rewards come from alliance events.

    To an extent the rewards that Kabam gives out for free, although received by all, benefit newer players more relative to their progression.

    A simple title would be neat since they weren't a thing before last December. I like your suggestions
    -sure you did it with a 3 star guilly, but have you tried a 2 star?

    Frankly we don't. Kabam does. When you have a roster full of r5 4s and r3 or r4 5s what's the incentive to pay 100 units for a phc? But make it 200 units, remove the 2 stars, and add in 5 stars people will spend again. Now we can buy featured crystals with a chance at a 5 star new hero. Great, for 300 units...for Kabam it's a smart way to generate more spending amongst top players who've completed all the current end game content. Beyond the regular featured there wasn't a whole lot of ways to increase spending and revenue. Sure there's an occasional resource deal. Now with uncollected crystals and uncollected featured crystals they've introduced more spending opportunities that are in your face every day, every time you open the app. For Kabam it's essentially a new product that will generate new income so it's a great way to increase their overall comparative sales. Basic retail brand strategy, if less people are buying your product introduce a new product to counteract the flattening or declining sales of the old. And it works. Just check out youtube and see all the people spinning away on all the uncollected crystals they've purchased. And it's all new money for kabam. Smart business. Veteran players probably haven't bought the 100 unit phc in years, now they're buying the 200 unit slightly upgraded version like candy.

    How would it be unfair to the majority of players? Grandmaster's Favor already did that.
  • Eb0ny-O-M4wEb0ny-O-M4w Member Posts: 14,032 ★★★★★
    Because there was a period of 1 year+ between act 4 and act 5 where players didn't had that advatage
  • OrsonKrennicOrsonKrennic Member Posts: 50
    What? People don't have the advantage of Grandmaster's Favor? You just did not explain that well.
  • Eb0ny-O-M4wEb0ny-O-M4w Member Posts: 14,032 ★★★★★
    They introduced act 4, people explored it, waited 1 year (more than that) and act 5 was released.
    During that 1 year + period of time, people played without any "collectors favor". If that was introduced now, how would you think those people would react when they basically wasted more than a year to get decent materials?

    Is the same thing as updating act 4 rewards and introduce a 6-star crystal in there. People who already completed act 4 wouldn't receive that 6-star crystal
  • OrsonKrennicOrsonKrennic Member Posts: 50
    And people played without Grandmaster's Favor.
  • OrsonKrennicOrsonKrennic Member Posts: 50
    So your support is invalid.
  • OrsonKrennicOrsonKrennic Member Posts: 50
    They actually would. Kabam would still have to give those rewards. And let's be serious Act 4 would not give out a 6 star crystal. Act 5 will. I know it will.

    what why is 6 star even a concern for someone who just beat act 4?
  • Eb0ny-O-M4wEb0ny-O-M4w Member Posts: 14,032 ★★★★★
    It was just an example, but you still didn't get it. My argument is valid.
    Grandmasters favor was introduced with act 5 chapter 2. It wasn't something that only dropped 2 years after that chapter, it was a reward included in it right at the start.
    As soon people explored it, they were able to benefit from it.

    Giving out a crystal after updating the rewards would be easy. They did it in the past. But how would they give people the collector's favor after they get grandmaster's favor? Is not a simple item, is a multi-use item that changes the game.
    The answer is: is impossible. So, it will never happen.

    You just picked up an implementation and decided to suggest an equal one for earlier stages of the game, without even knowing the consequences of it.
  • TrumpootTrumpoot Member Posts: 186
    I would rather they spend time fixing bugs than implementing this idea.
    Actually, I would rather they spent time fixing bugs than ANY OTHER content.
    Would happily give up new champs and new content to make it happen.

    The Grandmaster's Favor is not a game changer or op. It's just there. Trying to be fair. But since everyone thinks I am dumb therefore...
  • mostlyharmlessnmostlyharmlessn Member Posts: 1,387 ★★★★
    Act content is long term content and not meant to be done quickly. It's permanent content that you are supposed to progress to get through it.
  • OrsonKrennicOrsonKrennic Member Posts: 50
    This game is nothing but a hierarchy and I quit.

    Wrong. Grandmaster's Favor IS game changer. Because it CHANGES the game to those who have it.
    You want better prizes for no reason or necessity at all. Just quit this idea
  • OrsonKrennicOrsonKrennic Member Posts: 50
    First of all I was being sarcastic. Second I did drop it. Third stop being a jerk and read the comments I put after that.
  • Eb0ny-O-M4wEb0ny-O-M4w Member Posts: 14,032 ★★★★★
    I read it. You want to quit because you want extra rewards for no reason and you think your suggestion doesn't have flaws
  • OrsonKrennicOrsonKrennic Member Posts: 50
    What?! That's not why I quit. I quit because 1 ur being rude and hated my idea and give no credit for trying also because defeating the Collector is a huge milestone in the Contest and actually have to be worthy of the "Grandmaster's Favor".
