Cav players had the opportunity to get to milestone 6 if they did every fight, and we knew how many fights you’d have to do all the way through. You knew at the start of each week how many you’d need to do to get the milestone you were targeting. If you didn’t manage to do enough fights then that’s not really on Kabam I’m afraid.
It sounds like you're saying that it is easier for Thronebreakers to reach milestone six than it is for Cavalier players to reach milestone six and thus Cavalier players are penalized more for missing fights. But that is echoing the belief that Cavalier players are somehow unfairly penalized for not being Thronebreaker players. As if a Cav missing or achieving milestone six is no different from a TB missing or reaching milestone six so it is an unfair disadvantage if it is harder for Cavs than TB players. But that's false: milestone six is the pinnacle of Cav rewards: it should take maximum effort to reach it. Milestone six is a pedestrian reward for TB players: it should be relatively easy for TBs to reach it, because the relative appropriate goal is much higher.
I can't speak for the people who flagged you, but I suspect the inference is you think if TBs had more opportunities for points then it is appropriate for Cavs to get some of those extra opportunities also, which ignores completely the fact that the points, milestones, and rewards are designed differently for the two different progress tiers and aren't interchangeable. The requirements for the maximum Cav reward should be compared to the requirements for the maximum TB reward, not the middle TB reward, even if they are coincidentally the same bundle of rewards.
This is another example where a simple statement (Summoners must complete every objective to reach the highest peak milestone) would have removed any frustration or doubt from summoners’ minds. If you skip an objective, the top tier is out the window. Period.
It doesn’t affect the quality of the content or the challenge involved. It clarifies (and raises, IMO) the stakes. It makes for a better user experience by building better understanding.
I don’t want grace fights or need them. I just want a clear statement of the maximum (or the cushion) intended so I can make an informed decision.
It doesn't explicitly state that the maximum points possible for Thronebreakers is 27, but that's the safe assumption. To assume that they would make every fight necessary for Cavs to reach the top milestone but would not make every fight and all objectives necessary for TBs to reach their top milestone is being self-serving without justification. The *safe* assumption was to assume you had to do everything.
I didn't know, in the mathematical sense, with absolute certainty what the point distribution was going to be. But I knew enough to know that missing even one fight or one TB objective carried with it the extremely high risk that I would be losing maximum rewards. That very high risk is something I knew with certainty, and so should everyone else have.
The devs can always do better with communication, but that doesn't mean the players don't have a reasonable burden to interpret things reasonably, and not aggressively in their favor. Communication requires both sides to work together. If one side chooses not to act reasonably, there's no reasonable expectation that the other side can do all the work.
I don't want anything for free but I'd appreciate another chance to earn the point I missed. I'm sure there are TB guys that wouldn't mind an opportunity either.
I'd completely understand someone saying they whaled out on a particular point and wouldn't have needed to if they knew they'd get a re-do, I also understand that the rules were one fight for one week and it sucks to be me but the unique situation of a pretty major issue with parry/dex coupled with the juiciest rewards for an event in a very long time might make this worth considering.
The compensation packages, while appreciated, were heavily weighted towards other parts of the game while this event was on.
How did we know? 9 fights each giving a point = 9 points. Week 4 came with 3 objectives, so there was a massively strong possibility that each fight would have 3 objectives heading forward. This was further backed up by the simple maths that 9 points for each fight, plus 3 points for objectives for each fight was 9+(3x9)=27. Can you really look at that and tell me that it's just a massive coincidence that by the first week of objectives there was heavy evidence for it to all add up to 27, meaning no grace fights. The reason I said by week 2 of objectives, is that at week 5 of SoP it was the second set of 3 objectives which took our confidence from 99% to 99.999%. It wasn't like we had no idea from the start and then at week 5 was the eureka moment.
Most heavily suspected from the start, anyone not completing a fight from Week 1-3 with literally any champion doesn't really have a leg to stand on if they missed a fight. From Week 4, the evidence strongly pointed to there being no grace fights, since 3 objectives came with the fight and it was unlikely to change in the coming fights. Anyone missing an objective here doesn't really have a leg to stand on either, since no grace fights were an incredibly likely option. Week 5 confirmed it, and from then on, we knew there was almost no chance of grace fights.
Have a day off
Real life happens - and the parry bug is a real thing. It definitely doesn’t prevent folks from completing content, but it does require additional effort and extra hours to research/trial/error how to work around certain aspects of the various fights. Like I said - Kabam is under no obligation to offer a grace period… but, all things considered, it certainly wouldn’t hurt for them to give a little grace.
There’s no reason anyone should have to make safe assumptions. “Safe assumptions” have been wrong in this game before.
I know the responsibility to finish ultimately falls on the player - not Kabam - I just realized that seems a bit inconsistent and almost sets a precedent that could lend support to this person’s suggestion.
There's already tons of players who think SoP was too easy as it is, and they have a valid point given its original stated intent and given the magnitude of the rewards. It isn't top tier challenging, but it is at least challenging to someone. Adding grace days, extra points, and extended reruns makes it even less challenging for the players it was originally challenging for. The more chances we give to players to make up losses, the less meaningful winning becomes. That should play a role in how Kabam decides to deal with the overlap between the engine issues and SoP.
We could all see the rewards and I had no issue drop revives here and there to overcome the fight mixed with lag/poor dex and abject parry. And assuming the rewards for next part are worth it, will happily spend more revives to get them.
Can you please make possible to claim first the Class Nexus and then the T5CC selector?, that’s because most of the people depending on what’s inside Class Nexus we’ll select the catalyst. As you know at the time we all claim the rewards, we choose the Nexus and immediately we have to choose the two catalyst without knowing what’s inside Nexus.
Sorry my English, that’s because I speak Spanish.

Estimados @ Kabam,
Pueden por favor hacer posible que reclamemos el cristal de Nexo de Clase y luego los Selectores de Catalizadores de Clase?, esto porque la mayoría de las personas depende de lo qué hay adentro del cristal del Nexo de Clase, así seleccionamos el Catalizador. Como uds saben al momento de reclamar los premios uno selecciona la Clase del Nexo y de inmediato pide escoger que Clase de Catalizador quiere, esto sin haber abierto el cristal del Nexo.
