If and when you get enough players, I recommend start doing Alliance Wars. By which I mean, start them up, place whatever randomly on defense, and then ignore the whole thing. You're handing someone else a free win, and you get rewards just for losing. It is another way to get essentially free rewards from the game for essentially no effort.
The only issue with that is that you have to explore a certain amount to qualify for rewards, so you can't ignore it completely...
The problem is that all of the content and rewards are created with only alliance members in mind. Again alliances having perks is right and appropriate but for every last aspect of the game to be designed for alliance players only? When it started out you could play solo and get somewhere. Now you hit a stone wall that requires spending or an alliance...don't really care for either choice.
So really we should get something (solo)...not glory or loyalty. But straight up guys, I have a job...8 hours a day...dealing with hundreds (literally) of people a day. I do not sit in a cubicle where I can secret my phone and use up my aw energy when the clock says it's time. I am not a network tech hidden in a back office with little to do all day...and when I get home...I am DONE dealing with PEOPLE...I do not want to bring 29 demanding guys into my life for me that doesn't equal relaxation and fun.
You can't expect an MMO to cater to solo players. The whole strategy is to get players in allies that force them to login regularly so they don't "let the team down". As a solo player who doesn't spend, they really don't care much about how you view the game. That said, I'm an ally player who doesn't spend so my opinion carries basically the same weight as yours
recently left alliance. AQ way to repetitive and too frequent. Two and half straight years of 6 days on then only a 2 day break. Its really getting to be too much of the same. So solo is a nice break but there is absolutely no way to earn glory. This is a shame. Cant progress now but same time sick of AQ.
I'm not specifically opposed to having a way for solo players to earn glory, but I should point out that after two and a half years I would have expected it to be ingrained into a player that AQ is five days on and three days off. Also, Glory is in effect a reward for participating in an alliance: MMOs generally reward players that join in-game groups specifically because it honestly makes them more likely to become long term players. Asking for a solo way to earn glory is essentially asking for a way to earn alliance rewards without having to join an alliance. There are limits to how much they can do that without nullifying the reason for glory to exist in the first place: to offer a reward for participating in an alliance you can't get otherwise.
One its not really 5 on three off. It reality you only get two full days off. Because of start and finish times. So that is bunch of ****. Also it is not like I am a scrub in game my PI is 540 K and I have three R4 5* with prestige of 5,400. In all honesty there should be a way to get glory as a solo player if I don't want to run in alliance anymore.
I'm trying to figure if this is the slowest thread made.
An alliance based currency, for someone who isn't in an alliance....hhhhhmmm. You chose to go solo, deal with it bruh, you're only losing rewards at the end of the day. Not getting glory is one of em.
They don’t want you to play solo. They want you in an alliance where there are 29 others pressuring you to spend money on resources for the good of the group.
If your Ally is pressuring you to spend, or not spend for that matter, it might be a good idea to find a new one.
The pressure does not have to be active. Being in an alliance directly and indirectly pressures you to keep up. Social Pressure is a real thing. It just happens. It does not necessarily mean that there are people saying "Hey, you better revive!".
AQ was not issue of revive I never had to buy units for AQ. just got boring as ****. If they would mix it up with a few other events that are new and refreshing this post would not have happened. Good for guys not bored with same thing forever.
A good idea would maybe be “p.u.g.s” or pick up groups.match making matches 10v10,20v20,30v30 solo players who are just looking to build glory with people for a one time purpose, kinda like the battlegrounds in populr MMOS like world of Warcraft. you can either go in as a group and be strategic and coordinated or go in as a pug and hope for the best. people could either be matched by their player rating or they could possibly set their selected defense be it 3*,4*,5*,6* and the match making could be based of of their teams over all defender rating and they’d be placed in teams depending on their individual team ratings, this would keep all tiers relevant for years to come and would allow them to grow the game however they see fit. Then they could introduce things like ratings for accounts and they could create ladders and it would create a higher demand for newer 3*,4*,5*,6* champs depending on what tier you decide to play in. While also keeping things engaging... kabam wins, we win because we won’t feel like we ranked our champs for no reason
This sounds fun actually. Kind of like a different version of Arena. I am in favor of new interesting game modes, like alliance arenas, new boss fights, etc. Two new events overlapped this month has been really nice (Boss Rush and Goldblum).
Join my alliance. We only do Map 1. Perfect for people sick of the grind. You can solo it, you can join after I've solo'd it. I don't care. Easy peasy. Not a lot of Glory; it takes 3 AQ seasons to earn a T4, but it's super easy, low stress. Alliance is MysticKnightsOfTheOingoBoingo. I have it strictly for the marginal Glory rewards for slow T4 accumulation. It's better than nothing and easy to attain.
this game gives more stuff for being in an alliance. I don’t see anything wrong with that. You join an alliance to progress more quickly in this game. Being solo means you get resources much slower. Glory was introduced as an extra reward for doing well in aq. How would a solo player be able to even earn glory?

"What solo players need is more chances for t4cc. "
/endsnip
This is it, really. And the easiest and most obvious solution (that Kabam adamantly refuses to adopt...) is to make the final T4CC arena milestone award a T4CC crystal, not that class ISO crystal that it currently offers.
Really no one has asked for kabam to "cater" to solo players. And I have invested time and a little money chasing a carrot...there are no bumps that say "after a certain point you cannot contunue without an alliance or spending" but when we ask for the tools to play the rest of the game we are asking for special treatment whe there are repeated calls in here from many groups demanding to be catered to...solo players are the minority among those those seeking special treatment...continously...rank ups, and apology gifts, and you know the roster...so the whole game already caters to alliances and you all seem to be in here demanding for kabam to cater to you even more? Really guys does it make you feel smart and accomplished to jump anyone who disagrees with you? You worried about us suddenly sky rocket in prestige and not having paid the dues? Well that is pretty rediculous.
I don’t get why the solo players ask for more stuff. There are solo quests in the game and even solo events correlating with solo content. Arena is a solo event. But too get even more resources you should join an alliance to participate in aq, aw, and alliance events. The solo stuff has increased in rewards and the amount of new special quests so I don’t see any reason to get a resource that is given specifically to alliance members when there is plenty of solo content available
I have not read the whole thread but I think I have a solution for it.
Here is a problem and I have thought it before. Weeks ago I was to suggest an idea for fix it. I didn't it because the community is very toxic, attack everything if it isn't for them, argue everything if they need prove they're always right "making the rest wrong" and the simple trolling. So no case.
But well, here we go.
@Pry22@Rap and maybe someone else. If you want read it and support it or add feedback.
Not all game modes are there to please every single player in the game nor do game designers have crystal balls to predict how to please every single player what Kabam did do is cater to those that didn't want to be in an alliance by adding solo events to the game.
Should solo players get the better rewards over those in an alliance?? Well to be honest no that's incredibly selfish way to play a game designed to be a contest of champions(mind the pun) work together and get the gold, compete to be in top or to get great rewards.
Solo players still get a hell of alot more than when I started playing 2 and half years ago in fact although it may be slower than being in an alliance is possible not impossible (as it was) to get champions, rank up materials and crystals.
Nobody forcing you to do anything you don't want to do in the game. Non of its compulsory but if you want the best rewards then work for it don't expect it on a plate.
I do think solo events need some tweaking but overall it's a good addition

I don't get the negative feed back by you guys. It's like you wouldn't be able to get the glory from solo event as well as alliance so therefore your getting more.

This pretty much sums up the situation. Not really fussed about glory but solo players face a brick wall when it comes to advancement due to the severely limited access to t4cc. The proposed fix above would really sort that problem, allowing advancement, albeit it a slower pace than those participating in alliances. I really don't see the problem with it.

A free t4cc for 1.5m score? You’re kidding. Lol
Why not? A single t4cc makes little difference in the game and players (like yourself I assume) are flush with class cats anyway. I have unopened class cat crystals and stopped doing t4b arena because it goes straight to stash. I really don't think that would hurt anything.

Then stay that way. No one is forcing you dude.
Glory is an alliance based currency and should stay that way to incentivize people to join an alliance.

Lol. Search my profile kiddo. 3 r4s are nothing.
Then you must be one of the map 6 alliances.
