Buying All the Double Track Boosts

in General Discussion
If you buy all the Double Track Event Boosts, you're getting +33 days of rewards immediately. However, the current calendar only shows 15 extra days of the 150 7* shard rewards.

What happens after "Day 42" on the calendar, which will occur in about a week from now for those that bought all the boosts? Will further days be added until the next Platinum Track starts, or will there be no more claimable Platinum Track rewards after "Day 42"?

    Valid question @Kabam Miike

    Was this disclosed in the original post detailing how the Double Track works? Will extra days be added to the following month if the purchaser isn’t provided with the full complement of extra days? Since the 7-Day Booster doesn’t get you any of the gold track objectives, how is it fair to sell Boosters that don’t add a full 7 days to the Platinum objectives?

    Hasn't Kabam's position in past years been "buy at your own discretion"? I always thought the intent of the booster packs were to catch up for potentially missed objectives and not to create additional rewards than what's listed, but maybe I'm wrong.

    I think it's pretty clear that if you extend beyond the current month all you'll get is the shards and no carry over into next month. It wouldn't make any sense otherwise

    I should clarify. It doesn't make monetary sense. It does make logical sense though lol

    It would make sense to have a cap on things, yes—otherwise, players would just keep buying $4.99 boosters for a week worth of 150 7* shards.

    But…it also doesn’t make sense for boosters to be purchasable for boost days beyond whatever limit the team determines is appropriate for each month—at least not for the same price as a full 7-day boost.

    There’s a purchase limit on both types of boosters- 4 of 7 day and 5 of 1 day. So the maximum you can get ahead is 33 days and there’s 42 days.

    OP’s query was what happens once he, or anyone else, gets to day 43. The answer to this is nothing. Unless kabam changes things nothing additional gets added past the number of days advertised.

    The intent of the booster packs are not only to catch up on missed days, but also to obtain rewards that extend beyond the normal timeline. This means that, for those who complete the objectives daily, there is absolutely no reason to buy more than 15 boosted days, as the rest would just be wasted.

    Kabam needs to clarify if those who purchased all the boosts and will complete the platinum track by next week will continue to receive the daily 150 7* shards or will no longer have any daily platinum track objectives.

    There is nothing beyond the allotted days, so at some point, someone may spend for more than they can get. Same question was posed last year.

    So it's probably wise to gauge whether it's worth spending to get the extra couple days or not. Last year someone spent for an extra day or two and wanted to refund, if memory serves.

    Here’s an official response from Kabam. Looks like buying additional booster days beyond what the calendar shows will result in no further rewards.

    If the intent is to catch up on days missed, then the gold track days would have to unlock so that u would/could "catch up"... currently the days stay locked until objective is completed...so that doesn't seem right

    It’s a bit absurd to have 33 days of boosts that only get you 14 days of rewards. My guess (and I am not offering any grace to Kabam here) is that maybe that’s the total boosts available for the event and they failed to communicate that people should spread them out? Either way it’s another failure in communication and implementation with this event. It wouldn’t be bad if the boosts just extended into the future months, but I doubt that would be possible.

    Additionally, the mini boosts in solo objectives don't seem to be working, as I have only been able to collect the first 3 days of gold track, and the boosts from Solo objectives should be unlocking additional days...
  • Macho_Man345Macho_Man345 Member Posts: 28 ★
    Here’s another follow up. Kabam’s official stance is that booster days are for missed objectives. They mention nothing about the additional rewards.



    Hopefully this post prevents other summoners from making the same mistake I did and buying all the booster packs thinking each extra day equals another set of rewards.

    Really wish Kabam would’ve explained this ahead of time.

    Hopefully someone can confirm

    1. Each "month" in event is actually only 27 days long 7/21 - 8/17 for example

    2. Each "month" has 42 days worth of rewards in platinum track requiring 15 additional days to claim them all

    3. The mini boosters solo objective appears to be weekly so you can earn 4x +1 day boosters

    4. So does that leave 11 additional days which must be purchased in the unit store?

    It's actually x2 for the Platinum Boosters. So 8 total.

    If this is true...why am I still only up to day 3 in gold track ..also, I purchased one of the mini boosters, and was not awarded a day.

    That right there is a rip off to us who decide to buy it all. I hate the way they do that.
  • GroundedWisdomGroundedWisdom Member Posts: 36,634 ★★★★★
    How is it a ripoff? You can't get extra days on a Calendar if you get the maximum it offers.

    If you haven't received the day for it, reach out to Support. The Gold Track is on a time release, but it should have unlocked the Platinum.
