Caps Commissary Event looking spicy

DarkestDestroyer · September 2023

I feel for @Kabam Miike and the team on this to be honest, if I were him, I wouldn’t have even entertained the whinging.

As it stands, everyone seems to be moaning about the offers, but if they had a 7* Hercules in the store for 500mil gold, or 20million loyalty, imagine everyone then who would be whinging they cannot get it.

It’s honestly a lose, lose situation, I personally got 11 Feature crystals and got a 7* Chavez, how anyone is moaning about that deal I don’t know, if you opened 11 features and got dupes, you wouldn’t have enough for a 7* champ, so that deal is a bargain.

Anyway, just my thoughts, if it was the other end of the scale and 20k units for some things, all those who don’t have it would be moaning.

At least this event near enough everyone can get something, and if you don’t want it, just leave it be.

It’s not a major sale like 4th July, Cyber Week etc. It’s a bonus little store, where you can trade and get some goodies, wether they are game changing or not, the option is there.

People need to calm down, even before it was here, Miike told us to chill with the expectations.

This event is very bad and kabam are showing how much they want our money again this is not on this event is a paid to win event and that is not fair, you tell us not to save but things cost ridiculous amount of gold and units it takes ages to save 1000 units talking about 10000, i am very disappointed in this event you seem to be only watching youtubers with their 30000000 good and 40000 units well us normal players do never get to this quantity of units or gold it would take a year of playing this game to save that much and never spending anything, this game has become a big cash grab and its not on I purchase quite alot but in the real world bills have risen and got higher so money dont come like water anymore its very tight for everyone so to keep putting cash grabbing events that normal players can’t get involved in is unfair and not right. look at my units i saved from about a month ago and thats all i have saved and so can u see how this is ridiculous i only have 2000units and your making a things 8888 units like its funny or something this is very bad show u do not care about the community at all and only about money and who ever is giving the most i mean eve. If i put £500 in the game right now i still wouldn’t have enough points for the 7* 4,500points and things give us 50 points 100 points for 8888 units who is doing the math round here ????

Spoken like a true weakling

This is one event Cap would not say I can do this all day(not due to a lack of strength, but a lack of interest). Instead he would say I'm going back to the gym to knock out punching bags (not Winter Soldier).

Hey all,

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.

It's fine if not every event appeals to everybody, as long as it appeals to a significant part of the community

Some things are non-justifiable, no matter how much mental gymnastic people try to use

The major issue I've seen people have with the Feature crystal trade in is that it actively punishes people who don't hoard crystal shards. I'm at a disadvantage because I choose to open up my 6* crystals whenever I get them

Kabam has said in the past that hoarding is something they don't particularly like, but events like this only show the opposite. If the event ran long enough that I'd be able to get the shards, or it ran alongside another event that gave a load of 6* shards I'd be fine with it. This choice from Kabam is just weird

A ton of others from this thread would agree with you.

Allegedly the intent is to move us away from hoarding, but events like this just backfire and only make matters worse.

Ashacekar · September 2023

Miike saying to not set expectations is like apple. Our event isn't wrong, your expectations are wrong. We were not expecting anything after 22nd yet event still disappointed. How is that our fault?

Standardman1989 · September 2023

Thank you for the explanation @Kabam Miike indeed I took only the free offers, with gold and it's enough for my happiness gems and stones. I'm waiting to see now the 29th and the loyalty pack if it's the pack with the exclusive 7* like void black cat Etc .

You like it because you hoarded 6* shards and pulled one of the best 7* champs. What a spicy take there chief.

If the event cannot be achieved by everyone or doesn't appeal to everyone what's the point of it realising then

Also "NO" advantage, yeah okay. I seriously don't believe you if this is what we get after years of feedback on events

A proof for the next times that people have to wait for the beginning of the event before giving a piece of advice… Like too often on the forum.

Hey all

Honestly, I feel bad for you and the other moderators cuz I've worked for cx service and I know you take all the backlash while you guys weren't the ones who created the event. I also know you guys cannot provide your real opinions or what you really think about the reactions and the event because it could end up in inconvenient actions taken by higher-ups.

Daddrieda · September 2023

I’m more worried about the state of the game when there is no more star rarity champions to chase for. At some points it is just better to introduce new champions instead of creating a new star rarity.

They literally introduced 7* not long ago...

Malchaeis · September 2023

I'm interested to see if the loyalty selector bundle will be locked. As in you have to have "purchased" such and such items in the caps commissary or unit store to unlock it. If so, I suggest Kabam throw in half a t4 alpha in the loyalty bundle as well. I'll grab my popcorn sit back and watch the comments roll in. (No I'm not an endgame player. I found the deals underwhelming myself. Bought what I wanted and that's it. Didnt spend any units. Saving for cyber weekend or December events). Actually hoping the bundle isn't locked myself...but it's 1000 points in the event..... not getting my hopes up.

Raganator · September 2023

I don’t really care that the offers are objectively bad. I’ve come to feel that way about most events these days given that there are just more and more expectations to spend to be even slightly competitive. But it just seems strange to have an event where Kabam should know there will be nothing but backlash and negative attention. Seems like efforts would have been better focused elsewhere.

MrTicTac19992008 · September 2023

Why cant we get rid of T3CC or those stupid Cav objective crystals, solo/supreme crystals. Thats a trade in store not this joke they made. Even T2CC or whatever people have at various levels. They are so far removed from the game its mental

Because they think it would somehow break the game more than their July 4th offers this year I guess (literally impossible)

“Not every event is going to appeal to everybody” okay but this appeals to literally nobody

ahmynuts · September 2023

I just had this thought, but i hope Miike and Jax know that like 98% of the time when we roast Kabam or say [insert bad thing about Kabam here], that we arent referring to them and are only referring to the higher-ups who make the mind-boggling decisions

That’s exactly what I was hoping for. To sell/exchange the 1000’s of these crystals which have accumulated because of no real use for them.

Iron_Patriot_is_lit · September 2023

What a pathetic response. Ignoring the ridiculous universal defense of poorly designed things of "If you don't like it you don't have to participate," the whole point of "not everything is for everyone" doesn't even work here because this offer is for NO ONE.

Rekam · September 2023

Now this is Marvel the Hoard of Champions

laserjohn26 · September 2023

Is there anyway the loyalty selector can save this event?

I can only imagine the cost if it gets you 1000 points looking at the points per unit in other deals. Judging by the 6* r4 bundle it will cost almost 45000 units.
