Season Rewards/AQ Week/Gifting Event

Blue_007 · December 2021

So season rewards are still not out….AQ starts today and now players are stuck in their current alliance due to AQ especially those who do the higher AQ maps until end of AQ week. This is really bad because it makes them wait to get gifting rewards if they can still even get them at by the time this AQ week ends. Horrible timing with Season Rewards/AQ week/Gifting Event. The amount of time should be decreased to at least 7 days now with how this is all adding up not in the favor of any summoner ready to spend their hard earns units or real money spent on units to participate if that’s what they do. I completely understand Kabam making rules and guidelines for gifting with all the cheating and scams that have happened in the past and we all want a fair and legit event and game. We all agree on that. But this timing along with these issues all year is really putting a bad taste in all of the summoners mouths. We want the game to work correctly and want to enjoy its as we all have. I’ve played this game from the start, I’m an end game player who’s completed everything and belong to an end game alliance who pushes high bracket War and Map 8 AQ. So trust me I want this all to work out as much as many of us. Please take this into consideration and lower the time a summoner is required to be in an alliance because none of these circumstances is our fault and we shouldn’t be punished for them. Thanks for listening.

This point has already been brought up numerous times.

If the season had gone its full length all of these AQ/Gifting Event timers would have been "messed" up anyway.

There is still plenty of time to get all the Gifting rewards even if AW rewards don't come out until Wednesday.

One thing about this "14 day need to stay in an alliance" to participate in gifting makes job difficult for leaders and officers to recruit.
People are so reluctant to join in fear of the fact that they wouldn't be able to participate in gifting. Its tough to make people understand that u just need to stay 14 days in total to be eligible even when that gifting is going on that can be achieved.

But i guess some alliances will have a very very hard time to recruit if members left after season rewards. Many alliances may even fall cause of all this confusion.

TyEdge · December 2021

Everything you said is wrong. War rewards weren’t supposed to come out until Wednesday anyway.

You’re complaining about the gifting event and clearly don’t understand how it works even though there’s a huge friggin announcement explaining it on this forum.

this is definitely a D- on a essay

theMercenary · December 2021

i agree with the OP. been waiting for war rewards to rankup and increase my prestige for aq but guess gonna wait for another week for it.

request is simple. if the war season has ended early send the rewards without waiting this much. and it’s been 3 days already.

East_to_wes · December 2021

When season 27 ended early, war season rewards were released early. That’s the precedent kabam has set so it’s logical to assume that should’ve happened in this instance

@TyEdge
All I want to know is this -

If a person joins the alliance on 10th Dec they won't be eligible for rewards until the 24th. That's fine.

But if the alliance earned first 5 milestones while the new joinee was ineligible, would they still be able to claim ALL milestone rewards?

Kabam Miike · December 2021

Hey there,

The 14 days is a specific amount put in place to avoid some unsavory behaviour that we have seen in the past and do not want to see a repeat of. This is not going to change.

When the Alliance was not set to end early, there was still going to be an overlap, and we tried our best to explain that situation in this post here: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/289243/alliance-gifting-event-14-day-alliance-membership-requirement-clarification

We are working to remove the added point values from the final war before we are able to send out Alliance War Season rewards. This is not like other Seasons that have ended early, because there is still work to be done before the season can be finalized.

We are working to get this done on the original Season schedule, or faster if we possibly can.

If u guys reduce to 7 day that will be really helpful.. Its tough making people understand that 14 day stay can be achieved within gifting week

it's not gonna happen dude, there is a VERY good reason why it was 14 in the first place - there's just no wiggle room here.

I understand like I stated why the rules are out in place and believe me I want a fair and legit event as I always do. But the timing of season rewards, AQ week and gifting even guidelines all hurt the players. Even if the season ended correctly this would still be the issues due to it all. Just bad timing overall. I know you guys do what you can to avoid issues and fix issue at times. But this timing all doesn’t work well for us players at all.

Too many people were exploiting this with alt accounts, bringing them in, gifting a ton to get loads of alliance points and then leaving. The 14 day window is to stop people exploiting the event, don’t be annoyed at Kabam be annoyed at cheaters

kenadroid · December 2021

So what Miike said means basically we're forced to choose for alliance ranking in gifting or season rewards?

You lose at most, what, 2 days worth of gifting within the alliance you need to join? And then you can start gifting 2 days after the event starts, right?

if you join a new alliance 2 days before gifting starts, you won't be able to gift until the last 2 days of the gifting event (14 days after you join an alliance, and the event lasts exactly 14 days).

Monk1 · December 2021

Such a none issue.. the timer will show you when can gift and all the best rewards are in solo rewards anyways.

The ally rewards will be tiny fraction of what solo offers

That’s right, but if we are losing just two days of this 14 day window at the top (today and tomorrow since they mention rewards may go out at normal season end), that means you don’t get to gift til day 3 of the event.. not the second to last. Not sure why the issue is coming up about only joining 2 days before the event starts here.

I mean, you essentially said “I know people cheat when the time is less than 14 days, but we’ve had issues this year and the timing is bad”

Forgive me if I don’t think this logic holds up to more than a scintilla of scrutiny. Cheating is bad. 7 day cooldown allows cheating. 14 days doesn’t.

You’re reading what you want to hear instead of what was written. It’s all good. And cheating can and will happen regardless. Cheaters always find a way. I don’t like it because I’m a honest player but it’s the reality.

Ok, no hope of getting rewards earlier.

No hope of getting this game fixed (not only the parry/dex/dropped inputs/lag bugs, also champions bugs like ghost/hood synergy broken for months)

No hope of following Dev Diary

We are getting used of disappointment in the last months

Thanks for the reply, but with the amount of revenue this game pulls in, you think the dates could have aligned up better with war season and gifting

Wait what? What has revenue got to do with dates? You think the money they earn can change the days and dates of the year itself? It is always usually the last two weeks of the year, which is what it is.
unless money magically can change what days and dates are, nothing kabam can really do, lol

What am I missing? You’re saying people cheat when the guidelines aren’t there, but you’re saying because we’ve had a bad year with bugs, and the timing is bad Kabam should get rid of the guidelines allowing people to cheat.

Which part would you like to set the record straight on.
