The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!

My prediction for game dev. Log (progression)

-6 star R5 debut at the beginning of 2023
-7 star champions will be introduced mid 2023
-cavalier crystals will be updated to Thronebreaker crystal (available for paragon players) in September or sth. 6 star featured drop rate will up to 0.9% from 0.3%. And normal 6 star drop rate will up to 10% approximately.
-6 star duel crystal will be introduced to the game at the latter part of this year.

Any thoughts mcoc dudes?

    Its too early for rank 5 materials. Maybe in 2 years time.
    7-star will likely never exist. Relics will replace further stars number.

    7 star will be introduced in the future 100%. Champion rarity is the most profitable part in the game. That’s for sure bro.

    IMO r5 materials will take a long time to collect, and the main one has not even been made available. Maybe we will see them offered on July 4 so people can start collecting them. But honestly it feels too soon to intro this stuff. The push will be for r4 materials so players can advance to Paragon.

    ALSO: the main benefit of having r4 champs is to get Paragon title. The attack and health boost is minor, and the same will likely be true of rank 5. In fact it seems every time we get a new rank, the return is diminishing in terms of attack and health.

    What if Kabam fails to correct all the bugs and the game ends for ever.....

    Personally I will be heart broken...

    We're going on year 8. There have been bugs since the start of the game.

    Wow the opinions in this post are wild...

    I do think dual 6 crystals will appear by the end of the year (hopeful), that horrible 3,000 unit offer comes around much more frequently now.

    What about with strikers? It was a fun month when we used strikers in the side quest. I think it can be introduced instead of 7 stars in the future.

    I think 7*s are pretty much inevitable if the game is to continue. Just not sure when. If history shows anything, likely around the same time as R5s.

    F2p will get slapped on the face till 2099.

    *20999

    I'm curious how exactly F2P are being slapped in the face. People pay and help make the game possible for others to play for free. This whole idea of a competition between F2P and P2P is just not real.

    I'd say 50/50 we see dual class 6* crystals by January 2023.

    I doubt we'll see so-called Thronebreaker crystals, at least in the immediate foreseeable future. We are much more likely to see a way to earn shards for Nexus Cavs, which are fundamentally similar in concept to hypothetical Thronebreaker crystals but already exist.

    Six star R5 I would say is unlikely to arrive in Q1 2023. But I think it is almost inevitable we see them before Q1 2024 (i.e. sometime in 2023).

    7* champs in mid 2023 I'd say is a low but non-zero probability. I think it is more likely we hear about them by mid 2023 and see them by the end of 2023. That's something I would give about 50/50 odds.

    Instead of 7* Kabam implements a policy where your KO'd 5 and 6* champs become recaptured in crystals and the only way to release them is to pull that champ again from a special 1000 unit crystal that contains the 20 least used champs you have in your roster plus the one you need back.

    I'm thinking r5 material will become available by the first quarter of 2023. Now is obviously too early and i dont think kabam would introduce them during the Christmas gifting event, so Im thinking the first time we start seeing sprinkles of r5 mats is early 2023.

    7*s, or relics, will probably be around the same time, or maybe late 2022. If its one or the other, I'm thinking 7*s because they're likely a better seller than relics in the long term.

    6* dual crystals should already be a thing, but since they're not, i dont know when they will be.

    My question is, how is Kabam going to entice very end game player, who currently have most 6*s, and especially those who have many maxed sig champs. Right now, it seems r4 mats and sig stones are the big ticket items, but honestly those are boring once you a) have a few r4s, and really only if you care about prestige or showing off, as they're not rly needed for current content and b) have them at max sig, along with a few other non prestige champs. This is why I think 7*s or relics will probably be coming soon.

    R4 materials to become more prevalent. Top spenders likely to have 20 by EOY.

    R5 materials probably to start trickling with holiday events (possibly top spending alliance getting one in gifting event)

    EOP likely to continue into 2023, with an objectiveless version for lower progression to get "something"

    Revamp the t4b/t1a/Catalyst Clash arenas to start generating t5b, t2a, guaranteed t4cc.

    Battlegrounds "standings" and rank rewards to be highly contested / cheaters / accusations to grow more rampant.

    Another "spending weekend" to be added besides spring cleaning, July 4th, and cyber weekend.

    I got the joke. I was talking on the subject while it was brought up.

    It was a joke here, but a very real thing elsewhere. LOL
