Compensation is really nice .... If you are Thronebreaker

TheMilkman · August 2021

Dear Kabam,

Im a cavalier player who has 7.2 done , yet Rng decided to have 39k of 2 t5cc frags and 10 20k from others so I can't get TB. Why do you hate Cavs so much ??

The_Sentry06 · August 2021

You could have gotten tb from SOP, SOP week 10 100% and Act 6 completion.

All these have 25% selectors and combined, they amount to more than an entire t5cc formed through selectors alone. That's ignoring other places like Abyss, Act 6 100%, Act 7, Cav EQ, etc.

Plus Compensation is still decent for cavs. Revives and stuff are a bit less though across the board.

it does suck for me cuz im cav and im almost done 7.2, every time i go for the 25% crystals it literally never lands on science which is what i need

You right. Kabam does treat CAV players harshly. Maybe it has something to do with SOP making 50% of CAV players TB but that doesn’t add up.

As a Cavalier player in the same position as you (95% of a T5CC, most of the way through 7.2), I disagree. The packages were almost identical. 10k Shards vs a nexus may seem like a huge difference but with RNG it could have been great or horrible either way.

That being said. They should of gave us a couple of 10% T5CC selectors for the last 2 events at least, because I havent even tried Cavalier quest this month because last month it was a nightmare to do the completion much less explore.

Let finally the next title after TB come - lets see the world burn

Ercarret · August 2021

You're looking at the TB rewards, which are not too different from the Cavalier rewards, from a Cavalier perspective. Try to look at it from a Thronebreaker perspective where people are mostly focused on r3 and as of now r4'ing 6* champs.

How does the compensation package help us do that, exactly? I'm fairly certain that we got the same amount of t5cc as you (we were just able to select our class) which is basically small change for a TB player. 6K glory is nice but buys you maybe 30K t5b shards, which is (*quick head-math*) about 1/6 of the t5b cost you need to r3 a single champ. It's nothing, in the grand scheme of things of TB goals.

You can be disappointed if you will, I don't care. I have my own feelings on the rewards that I don't feel like repeating in yet another thread. However, what you can't do is whine about Thronebreakers living in some kind of magical wonderland where the riches are infinite and the rewards splendid and overabundant. I'm sorry if these rewards didn't allow you to become TB, but I can assure you that they didn't push any TB'er closer to whatever the next title is either.

They hate Cav players so much they let you become Thronebreaker after scraping together a single R3, instead of the original notion of three or four.

You aren’t unlucky you haven’t formed one yet. You’re extremely lucky you aren’t still three away.

Ever since 7.2 came out you have had 0 excuse for not getting thronebreaker

Get 7 25% t5cc without doing exploration for 7.1 or 2.

From any place such as the following:

Act 6 completion
Act 6.1 exploration
Variant 5
Variant 6
Variant 7
7.1 completion
7.2 completion

And then you have guaranteed yourself thronebreaker. You’ll have opened 7 25%, leaving you guaranteed to have 50% in at least one class. Remember at worst case you’ll open 6 and have 1 of each class. So the 7th is guaranteed to be a class you already have. After that, go and explore 7.1 and 7.2 and select that class. Boom, 0 RNG thronebreaker.

And that’s ignoring the massive flashing “Free Thronebreaker rank ups! Get your rank 3s here!” Sign that was Summer of Pain.

How does Kabam hate Cavs?

DrZola · August 2021

My sympathy for this line of argument is non-existent.

I have an ally mate and personal friend who has been grinding for units and farming pots like crazy to make his first GM run next month. He’s hit one or two quests a week in 6.3 and 6.4 over the last month plus. He got all 9 SoP points he could get (mainly by watching Buddy Lee use his iHulk and trying to replicate the fights).

His last ~15 T5 frag pulls have not been mutant, and he’s been less than 2% from a mutant T5 for more than two months.

His solution: keep at it. T5c frag from the relief package finally gave him mutant and he R3’d his Sunspot, leaving just the GM between him and TB.

Lucky at last? Sure—but lucky and putting himself in the right position.

Summer of Pain was a huge charity case for Cav players. Slog your way through 9 fights and it’s yours. I’m sorry you weren’t good enough to do that but somehow think you deserve the highest progression title in the game.

OzFearUs · August 2021

I am cav and was quite pleased with 5* nexus and enough 6* shards to open a feature 6*. Granted my RNG was meh for both, but I'll take it.

Change your profile picture from a tough Sovjet hero to little girl Parker or something alike.

The Sovjet Guardian wouldn’t start such a whining forum post

Cheers!

You're lucky.

I had 30-35k of each type before I got one of them to cross over the limit and get a fully formed t5cc.

It seems harsh but it is what it is and tbh the compensation is probably not that different between CAV and TB.

Cav and TB titles have a lot of disparity when it comes to content but compensation ain't it.

Oh please stop. You tried to double dip but it backfired on you miserably. Stop painting the blame on Kabam here. Your fault for trying to exploit the system.

Piling on more - TB compensation is not necessarily better than Cavalier compensation. Yes, a Nexus is generally better than shards, but most people who open a Nexus don't get a champion they are excited about (on the forums most of the people post about their Nexus where its either really good or really bad).

TB compensation isn't that much better aside from that. If you look at it from the SOP perspective, since TB have objectives to complete, they are theoretically fighting each week 2-4 fights to get objectives and completion point, compared to 1 fight the Cavs would need to do to get a completion point. Of course it varies by player skill and roster options, but logically? More fights -> more chances to encounter bugs.

If someone faces more bugs, they should logically be compensated more. Compensation compensates for what was lost - units, potions, items. The shards/nexus are just a bonus to the compensation itself. And yet, the compensation, while 'better', is not truly better.

Agent_X_zzz · August 2021

Maybe try exploring content to get t5cc, bro you got fine enough compensation, stop crying and do some actual content

Raganator · August 2021

Nexus crystals are the opiate of the masses. At least Kabam is hoping that is the case.

People keep at it, but it is frustrating to know how much rng plays a part. I had good rng and got 4 out of 5 2% to hit mutant in the store this past month to get TB. I had GM and 7.1 GP both hit mutant and 3500 arena units for selector, so my rng was good. Others are past me in content and skill and are still waiting. They do keep working at it, but still can be disappointing.

Searmenis · August 2021

Comp packages for Cav and TB were similar, with a pretty fair distance between them, maybe TB one was a little worse, considering. That said. packages overall were disappointing because of luck of a serious potions/revives ratio. I expected at the very least 5 team ones of each based on the amount of units we spent during these 2 months.

I also agree that with SoP around, there s no excuse to not be a TB already, since you already completed Act 6, and you only had to make a catalyst. The only players that didn't get the TB title after SoP, are the ones that were stuck in a quest in Act 6 before the bugs, and couldn't get past that point because of them. Personally I have two complete t5cc, but not using them yet, because I was stuck in bleed me Medusa. I did tried and finished this, with 25 single revives last week, but I don't try to progress even further because of the bugs still there, and especially the lags in every fight, and AI hitting me after 3rd hit of my combo with a special. So, no TB for me yet, but you, have no excuse.

Agreed it can get demoralizing. My buddy was beyond frustrated.

I had similar issues end of last year trying to pull mutant. Nothing went my way, and it feels like the last hurdle is insurmountable.

Then some people pull all one class and get there with little struggle. It is what it is. Only thing you can do is keep giving yourself chances.

Compensation is really nice .... If you are Thronebreaker
