Overall Rifts are fine to have as side quests a couple times a year, if anything I would change the probabilities in the rifts, 90% chance of candy each time is a bit high imo.
I would have given most of the paths slightly less amazing rewards, but given them decent odds, and then maybe left the AG and 6s shards at a super low chance.
If you get a 10% lucky draw, make it a choice for the summoner and the prize doesn’t respawn. So no one is getting multiple AGs or t5cc but you can find something that fits your roster and inventory needs. If that’s too generous and can’t be done, I’d still prefer this with no AG to what we have.
I'm a Thronebreaker and got all the items in the candy store I wanted or needed and have overflow of everything useful. Now just going to get 5* sig stones because that is now the best option.
They used to talk about making the game balanced but this is anything but that. For this RNG reason alone, I would say this is the worst event I've seen in this game and I've been playing since a month after the game came out. Kabam should have at least made something special in the store that could have only been bought if you got all Candy.
Disagree here......... 👇
It would be nice if we could buy something really nice with lots of candy, ie AG with say 250,000 candy, so that those that pull only candy will not miss out and still got what the lucky ones got too
Dr. Zola
1x t5bc
2x 6* generic sig stone
Rest all candy
Thought I would buy shards with it and got-
1 - 5* Knull
1 - 5* Dragonman duped
Rest all 3 stars.
Wanted an Apocalypse, need him so bad for 8.1, act 7 and 6 yet I wasn't able to get one.
Fyi, I only got 20k something every day, but even if it was not the case, I'd still give it a 1/5, 10, 1000 or whatever
But I still feel it's way too wildly inconsistent.
The type of event this is, is fine once or twice a year. They really need to shake up and try new things. We have like 3 kinds of events, it's boring
As for the ultra rare drops, I never understood the controversy about it. It is meant to be a super rare drop, and if the event dien't have this at all, I don't think it'd be rated any higher. And since the rare drops didn't give any significant unfair advantage to those who pulled them, I think it's just envy speaking.
The biggest downside imo was the idiotic duel target system. When I play the game, I want to do stuff there, in mcoc, not go to Google or forums to look up duel targets for champs. So nevermore please
Would be better if the shop where you can spend your candy would be upgraded.
the biggest issue with this rift quest wasnt even the bad RNG or not picking paths. but rather having to do so many runs throughout the entirety of the month.
even if you saved all the tokens for the last day or week to run them all, it is the highest time consuming event we've seen in months.
what people really need to think about is how kabam literally implemented new game modes/updated modes that honestly pay out 100x better compared to your average grind. i understand that many will simply say "you dont have to do any of it" and that is not necessarily the point here.
its kabams job to analyze how to best represent and advertise their game modes. sure you can say, the more stuff there is the more options people have of doing content they want, sounds great, to good to be true in fact.
1. this just means more stuff to grind for(sucks when one of the options is hidden behind RNG)(SQ),
2. one of the modes has high amounts of cheaters/bugs that honestly kills any type of motivation(BG).
3. and the other mode doesnt refresh main milestones till after the season which is roughly a month(incursions).
ALL that while also running basic AQ and AW. dedicated players, most who have been playing for many years know that, earning all the free rewards doesnt come cheap. invested time is the major contributor from us. our time is valuable, our time is worth more than the issues we constantly deal with.
making side quest that has daily wait limits and constant grind doesnt help. overall this rift type quest interferes with other content and baits us with the lowest chances of getting good rewards. im glad some got lucking and got the highest reward, hell some even got 2x the amounts. BUT our time shouldnt be wasted..
dont get me started on how this creates a huge gap in progression as well, and creates unfair advantages. everyone should have been able to get at least 1 awakening gem for the amount of cheese to mouse games we endured... agree to disagree, i dont enjoy being played with and teased. some are into that, more power to them xD
TLDR version
So are we really complaining about RNG? Yeah, bummer that your alliance mate got 2 AG’s, I guess. Do you also get mad when they get a 6-star from a Cav and you pull 3-stars? Or they pulled a QS from featured and you got a Groot?
Seems like a lot of entitlement and selfishness showing here.
It is not as bad as people make it out to be, but it is not very good either.
Also the outcome of the rifts is completely rng, i saw people get 2 AGs and all i got is candy and gold. If they would have put in a chance to choose at least 1 time the path you want like they did with compareable events i would have been fine but to keep it completely rng based is lazy and boring.
