    The issue seems to be that only people that are level 40 AND have conquerer are recieving the event. It’s said in the post it’s level 40 OR conquerer. Please sort this out Kabam because this isn’t fair at all.

    If I joined my alliance a week before the event started...

    (1) Will the points I get in the event for the first 7 days be added to my ally points after my time requirement is meet?

    (2) Will I be able to claim alliance milestones that my alliance achieved during the first 7 days when I meet my time and minimum point requirement?

    (1) No, points will not start until after that 14 day time (pre-7 days, plus 7 days in alliance). Stuff you do beforehand will NOT count toward Ally Event (and will NOT be “queue'd up for counting either).

    (2) Yes, once you reach 14 days in Ally, any milestones the Ally has already met should be able to be claimed by you at that time.

    IT HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY SAID THAT YOU HAD TO HAVE LEVEL 40 AND CONQUERER. KABAM LIED TO US AND SAID IT WAS AT LEAST ONE. WE NEED KABAM TO FIX THIS NOW. THIS IS NOT FAIR

    Okay so an alliance member gifted me one of the titles, and in game it says to use “in gifting store” - but I see no gifting store anywhere. What am I missing?

    @Kabam Miike can you confirm the above information?

    *Note* As previously announced, Banquet and Greater Banquet Crystals cannot be gifted, they are for your account only.

    Do we get to claim all alliance milestone after becoming eligible( 14 days)?
  • UCanHateMeNowUCanHateMeNow Member Posts: 59
    Question.... if someone joined right before the banquet event they will be in the alliance for at least 14 days, or does this have to be 14days prior to event? Will they be eligible for rank and milestone rewards? Want to know what to tell my new members.

    We're is there a running total of points you have accumulated.for the banquet?

    Another Q+A!

    @KRACETOS For the Accolade profile pictures, are there 10 unique profile pictures? One for each category? Or a single profile picture and 10 unique titles?
    10 unique PFP and titles. They will coincide with the nomination titles. So if you're nominated using the Best Facial Hair card, your title would be Best Facial Hair. (this is not a real title)

    (insert title) card.
    but I thought the accolades card wont have any specific tags and we can give them to anyone on any day right?
    I can just give all of my 20 tickets to someone if I wanted to on a specific day right?
    Definitely unclear whether on each of the 10 days, there will just be a SINGLE category of Accolade to nominate people for each day (such as “Best Facial Hair” day).

    And (depending on how it's implemented) since you don’t earn all of your accolade “tickets” until the very end, the earlier Categories will be harder for people to actually receive enough of them from others to be able to get pics or titles for.

    As for using your 20 tickets, it could be that your accolade “tickets” might be generic, but then how it is implemented is that you “buy” a certain category of accolade CARD, using that generic “ticket”, and it's the CARD which is what gets sent as a gift to a teammate. And then their accumulated CARDS are like an inventory item for them.
    oh the last explanation makes sense

    what i was planning to do with my friend since we are new to ally and will probably not get any voted from the other members
    i was gonna give him 15 tickets on the day we want the title
    like as if my friend wants the best defense title i will give him 15 accolades that day
    and then 5 some other day so he can get 2 profile pics and a title and he can do the same for me
    @Amazing_Demon05
    Looks like we’re were both partially wrong.

    Accolades to send out are indeed FIXED to a certain accolade Category/Title.
    So you get 2 max of every Category to send out to people. (1 of each up front in Mail, plus 1 additional of each in upcoming Calendar).

    And , yes, you can send ANY Accolade Category to people on ANY day of the event. The “Category Day” appears to just refer to which new accolade you accumulate from the calendar each day.

    Which means people can NOT just pair up and send each other all of their Accolades because you won’t end up with enough of any category to earn the Profile Pic or Title.

    Also, beware, Gifting is allowing you to send out Accolades to non-teammates (just Friends in other Ally’s), *BUT* you will not be credited with points toward your Accolade Solo Event Milestones.
    Must send them to actual Ally Teammates.

    So if we buy the deal for money for the 10 greater crystals do we get the credit of buying 10 greater crystals for the solo event rewards or is it crystals bought only with units?

    this?

    Same here. Seems like a deal but not if only 1k points each for me.
  • Dude17Dude17 Member Posts: 133 ★★
    Shoutout to Kabam for a well-organized event. Lots of free GBCs and units back.

    The instructions were clear in the in-game mail & the forum post. Everything in the Solo/Alliance tabs were intuitive after that.I like the changes, trading always irked me a bit. The accolades are a nice change, basically more free GBCs and fun nominations for alliance mates.

    I like the minimum requirements in alliance events too. Would be great to implement something like this in BG milestones as well, and maybe even in AQ, to promote fair contribution.
  • ThaneThane Member Posts: 1
    im lvl 30 but conqueror and i dont see neither of the banquet event milestones, does the event appear after calendar reset?
  • Elite13Elite13 Member Posts: 184
    So I'm conqueror progression, but not level 40 and I joined before November 21st, but I don't have the solo event or the alliance stuff, but I've been in the alliance for months, does anyone know whats going on?

    And @DeaconVelvet , and @Ezra7676

    YES, the ones bought with real money count as Purchased GBC's, 3000 points for buying, then +1000 for opening. Just like the ones you buy using Units.
  • Merk27Merk27 Member Posts: 3
    If i buy the 10 gbcs from the unit store instead of buying it, will i still get the full amount for buying and opening (so 4k points per gbc) or will i just get 1k for each one?

    so then not 3000 for each crystal just 3000 total?

    Sorry, yes, per each crystal. So 40,000 total.

    And for immediately previous @Merk27 question, see this again (which was just 2 posts above where you asked).

    Is it? I still don’t know where to use the gift I was gifted from an alliance member… it says to claim in the gifting store but I see no such gifting store

    Although I don’t think the word “clarification” is necessarily correct. Someone, I believe it was either Miike or Jax, had *specifically* stated that it would be *OR*, and not *and*.

    Anyways, at least it should be fairly simple to finish off becoming Level 40 over the next 2 weeks, since they should already be Conqueror. (or even simpler to achieve Conqueror, if they are already Level-40, which would be an odd situation anyways).

    And, at least now people have an answer. Thx.

    It's not a simple miscommunication when the player base asks for clarification about requirements to which a moderator says yes just level 40 OR Conqueror. Support has also said in emails to individuals that it only requires one or the other. This is one of the larger really poor customer service decisions Kabam has made in response to their own mistakes.

    Do all of the pfps from accolades look the same or do they differ per category? Here is the one I received.
