We are aware that the Twitch Drops campaign started late and that as a result most players did not receive most, or any, of the drops. We will make it right, and are currently looking into the possible options, please stay tuned.
Thank you for your patience

And it is exactly the point that catalysts cannot normally be obtained by gold under normal circumstances that the gems are useful. In the same way everyone was begging for more trade-in events based on gold - here it is... at least in part. Not everyone has a gold shortage.
For players that have an abundance of gold, having the option to use gold for the materials instead of just for the cost of the rank-up process is a win. They can save their catalysts for an additional rank-up.
Thank you all for the feedback. Personally, I don't think that this event itself is all bad, but I can see how certain parts of it and personally set expectations can make it undesirable for folks.
First, we need to say the same thing we've said in the past. Not every event is going to appeal to everybody, and there should not be an expectation that everybody can and should be able to complete every event, objective, quest, etc., that comes out.
We're also simultaneously seeing people saying they don't like any of the deals, and then getting mad that they exist. If you don't want to take part in the offers, you do not have to. You can choose where you spend your Gold, your Units, and your Time. If this isn't worth it, then don't do it.
Further, this is very optional. There is no item in the store or in the Solo event that is going to make a radical difference or give anybody a major advantage. Personally, I think that's a good thing because it makes the event totally optional.
As a community, we know that we have a tendency to treat everything in-game as compulsory or feel that everybody should be able to do everything without investing in the content. This is not the case, and there does not need to be an easy way to get everything (that's how games die when there is nothing left to chase).
We're taking this feedback to the team for future events, and I hope that we can improve upon them for our players, but also know that there will be more events in the future that will not appeal to everybody.
I know this might come across negatively, but that's not what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to be earnest and honest with you, and I hope you guys understand that. I will not be responding to any more questions or comments on what I have said above.
Even if its a trophy 4*
And all that for 19 points
Maybe instead of telling people to just not take part in the event cuz it's "not for them" you should ask for feedback on why people think the event is bad, and use that to make better events in the future.
But some of the stuff that is put out...
I just don't understand why go thru the effort and time to create a whole event that's not gonna appeal to most people.
Why isn't every event done in a way to make the players happy? Seems like it should logically be the best way to go for all parties involved lol
I have 3 out of the 4 trophy champions at 4*. But I’d have to buy all of them if I wanted one at 5*. I don’t know how anyone at Kabam could justify this as a good deal or even fair. And to have 2 days of building up expectations waiting for this was an insane decision.
I get the point that not all deals are for everyone but deals that are advertised in advance surely should be aimed towards the majority of the players. Kabam could have just put the Trophy champ deals out independently on a random Friday. But Kabam set the expectation and it was massively way of base.
The community has given feedback in the past. We’ve waited years for the trade in store where we could swap awakening gems etc. I still have 8x 6* awakening gems with no one to use them on. I get it’s probably too early to trade in for a 7* awakening gem but I don’t have a use for them, because you give them out like candy. I have 8million of the solo crystal shards, this would have been a great opportunity to trade them in for something meaningful for my account. There’s so many good things we could have seen, it’s such a missed opportunity, that’s what’s so frustrating with it.
I also think the community have given lots of feedback over the last few years, but it doesn’t really get listened to, although the gold trade in did make a small return to give some credit. Listening to Brian Grants stream and Lagacys video the CCP appear to given lots of feedback too, so hopefully they will be heard. Lagacy said he could design an awesome event that was both great for FTP and whales. Why not let Lagacy design the next event.
The solo event is laughable honestly. There’s no clear way to achieve any substantial progress with how few points are awarded for each objective.
We’re not upset in the existence of the in game deals. We’re upset they’re so overpriced for what they award.
Maybe the tinfoil is just on a bit too tight but this just feels like you’re discouraging us from wanting to see this event ever again. You mention multiple times this year you will not be bringing it back because hoarding is unhealthy for the game. Then bring it back in this state.
With all respect you guys unfortunately fumbled this store event and I do wish you guys to be successful with other store events in the future.
I don't get it, so many constructive feedbacks on this thread and the others and yet we get this as a response....well if everyone stops buying every single deal in the game, the game will die so it's not that simple as ''if you don't like it, don't do it''....as people have said above, we want to be part of the deals and we want to buy something that it's worth it so why make an event like this KNOWING that the majority of the playerbase will hate it?
I truly want to understand
Here's all my gold and units for some untoasted pop-tarts and a used toothbrush
