So that makes it 9 fights vs 8 fights. Now, lets add in the fact that there are gonna be objectives that will probably make you fight the week 5 gauntlet multiple times (but to be easy on Kabam, we'll just assume you'll have to go through it only twice).
Now it's 12 fights vs 8 fights.
These rewards are nowhere near as good as last year's SOP milestones and depending on week 5 and its objectives may be much more costly.
SOP's rewards were so good and fit the meta at that time. These rewards are nowhere near as appealing.
Not sure why you said nice try, but yeah, great point. That changes my mind on it a fair bit!
I guess the question now is, how do you compare the rewards 1:1. Compare the top rewards of each one since that’s what the highest progression can get? Or compare what a TB can get last time compared to this time?
Assuming the “worse” comparison, as in, lower rewards this time compared to the top last time. Let’s take TB highest this time compared to last.
6* nexus same
T5CC 50% —> 125%
Sig stones 75 —> 20
T6B 17500 —> 42750
T3A 6750 —> 22500
I’d say it’s a relative slight improvement in all but the sig stones. The sig stones is a massive bummer, going from 75 to 20, when stones haven’t changed value at all.
T5CC is pretty abundant, so it doesn’t feel like that much of an increase.
T6B increasing by a factor of 2.4 and T3A increasing by 3.33 is ok, but I feel a lot of that increase is lost in the time since SoP. If this were released 6 months ago, amazing! Now? It’s not quite underwhelming, but it’s… whelming?
I think the thing is, we have SoP and those rewards were mind blowingly good, or at least really exciting. And now, proportionately, these EoP rewards are, yeah? Pretty good? But not anything to get incredibly excited about.
When you compare it to paragon, it’s kind of a different story, but since there are so few paragons compared to how many TBs there were it’s not exactly the same as SoP.
Paragon sees a 3.3 increase of T6B, and a 6.7 increase of T3A. That’s clearly a much more noticeable shift. Though the sig stones still take a hit, only going up to 30.
Hopefully, this is just the first round and after this one they bump up. But your post has definitely changed my outlook on the rewards. I thought they were decent, but not mind blowing before. Now I think they’re eh. If they didn’t get me within two Carina LoL challenges of paragon I don’t think I’d be as hyped about them.
Get ready to further change your mind though. Your comparison, below, is a bit off. We were actually given 200% T5CC last time. Enough t5cc for the highest title to take 2 6*s to what was currently the highest rank attainable. Paragons, the highest title now, get only a third of the rank up mats to take up the current highest rank attainable. Wouldnt expect to be able to take 2 up but maybe 1 or at least two thirds of 1.

I'm happy that this will give some extra fun to do all year with some meaningful rewards to go along with it. 🤘🏼
So if "they didnt wanna roll out the red carpet for a title weeks old", they shoulda just lumped Paragon and TB together for this one and let cav have at it as well.
At this point all they did was make it suck for TB and cav and basically give Paragon what they would have gotten anyway if the new title didnt exist.

Unfortunately we can’t edit comments otherwise I’d correct the record!
For example, some Paragon players came at this Crossbones with Dormammu and got all four points in one run. I ran it once with Dragon Man and once with Sentinel, so it took me two runs. It’s gonna vary from player to player, but we can say like minimum runs or average runs to try to get a fair comparison point.
#2 they need to reward us as we go. Waiting until the end to get all the rewards over a month or two month period is just less exciting overall. If I got a quarter of those rewards I would have another new r4 now. So I wish rewards we're divided better with shards or something and then the r4 material could be grand finale. Just giving my thoughts.
That’s a good idea about breaking up rewards into a lump sum at the end and a collect as you go category. Sig stones and high end rank up materials at the end for a player to empower their top end champs, shards and lower level rank up materials along the way to broaden out a roster. It won’t help anybody get Paragon along the way, so it doesn’t detract from the main event, but it still gives something for your efforts each week.
So, for 10-15minutes of "work" per week, the amount of rewards is perfectly fine for me.
First round will get me my 4th (I'm 1 catalyst away now). The other 3 rounds will get me my 5th. July 4th + Cyber weekend unit deals will get me my 6th.
I'm also in top20 of AQ and AW. Side quests solo objectives.
I mean, R4 materials are in a lot of places and it all ads up. You just want it all right now and just from one place.
If you state you have 1 r4 at the beginning of the year then the impression you give is you're thronebreaker not a paragon who would be starting with 3.
They can only earn half catalyst per iterations which totals to 2 catalyst after a year. That's where the "wouldn't be responsible for 1" comes from.
And I'm not going to include next round having slightly increased rewards because it's not been stated by anyone and neither of us have a crystal ball.
"You just want it all right now and just from one place"
I'm glad you got all that insight from me asking the point you were trying to get across.
Before you make more assumptions, I don't have a problem with r4 materials being spread across content nor do I have a problem with the rewards being spread out across 4 iterations.
I find the individual rewards of each iteration bad which is why I consider them cumulatively bad. I'm not going to assume they get buffed upon return because there's no official statement.
I'm also not going to use other content having more r4 materials available as an excuse for EOP being relatively less rewarding.
And what made you think I was TB? The year starts in January. We're in May now. Are you bad at reading a calendar too? We had 7.4 gem, 7.4 offer (twice), Carina vol2, AQ/AW and some solo objectives. Some people actually do the content pretty soon after it drops and they rank up their champs.
EoP is 1 fight a week with a few objectives. 10-15 minutes of work. 5 weeks per round, means 1 hour and a half total time investment for 1 full catalyst of each. A master AW season takes up a lot more time than that for a fraction of the t6b/t3a. Same with AQ. Carina vol2 takes about 24h total time and gave 1.6 t6b/t3a.
So, in comparison, EoP rewards are astronomical.
Rehashing the same dumb statement doesn't get your point across any better
"What made you think I was TB"
The fact that you literally state "at the beggining of the year I had 1 R4. By the end of the year I will have at least 6, maybe 7 R4s"
"The year starts in January. We're in May now. Are you bad at reading a calendar too? We had 7.4 gem, 7.4 offer (twice), Carina vol2, AQ/AW and some solo objectives. Some people actually do the content pretty soon after it drops and they rank up their champs."
You're trying excuse your vague statement by expecting anyone reading it to assume you've completed every r4 material source available as well as got the 7.4 offer (twice) and guess what tier of AQ/AW without giving any previous impression to state it.
But yes let's go the "yOu CaNt ReAd" route. Go on with the silly arguments I'm not wasting more time on it
