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

Kabam pre-announced that none of the Valiant-specific offers would contain R3 materials. They did that to ensure that players who happened to reach Valiant before the sales concluded couldn't bank a gigantic advantage over everyone else, because they intended to make getting to Valiant very difficult outside of exploring Necropolis once this sale was over. And even the CW sales would only get you one, no matter how much you spent, so even spenders would need completion. To me, that's very smart management of the progression ladder and maintaining the relevance of Necropolis for more than just a few months.
If you're not going to give out R3 materials, then what would interest a Valiant, outside of everything else in the Paragon offers. Ascendent resources and 6* R5 would be the other thing, because there are lots of champs that a Valiant player (or a Paragon player) would want to take to R5, but would feel bad about spending normal catalysts on because they would want to save those for 7* champs. Specifically *because* Kabam knows almost all Valiants would be focused primarily on 7* champs, and would feel bad spending resources on 6* champs but there are still plenty of 6* champs that most Valiants would love to have as 6*, they threw the R5 gem in there. If you are a Valiant, and a spender, there are likely lots of champs you could use as an ascendant R5.
The idea of the R5 gem is that it is something many Valiant players will grumble about, but secretly be glad they have because it allows them to rank up a 6* guilt-free.
And I'm not judging the sale based solely on the R3 materials. I'm simply saying that their presence objectively demonstrates the sale isn't just minimally tuned. I just have no interest in posting a sale review. But the $5 (USD) offer, the cheapest most accessible one, has extremely good value to me. Five bucks for fifty sig stones. Even Valiants still use 6* sig stones. The 15k 6* shards is just a bonus: I would have bought that offer even if it was just the sig stones. The $10 offer was a little meh to me, but not bad. For thirty bucks I think the Tony Stark's briefcase also had very good catalyst value, especially for mid-tier Paragons still ranking up a lot of 6s. And while I think the Black Panther's treasure was a bit pricey, three T6 selectors is nothing to sneeze at. I literally have no idea how some people are looking at that and saying that value is horrible. Even if the T4As were not in the Cyber offers this year, those T6 class catalysts would still be enormously valuable.
If someone wants to say that the unit offers were a bit meh, I wouldn't argue against that. Personally, I think they were fine, but I agree they were not exciting. But were they actually poor value? Some I wouldn't buy myself (and didn't). Some I thought were fine. And honestly, the fact that I thought four of the five cash offers were really good value suggests they might be slightly high, as I shouldn't love everything. The fact that I find about half the unit offers to be worth buying and the other half questionable for me to buy suggests those offers are probably exactly where they are supposed to be.
The high number of t6bc, t3a and t6cc on offer was very good. Helped r5 two of my favorite champs and r2 one of my favourite 7*s and i only had to spend 3000 units to do it. Well worth the investment. Only wish more tier 1 and 2 primordial dust was included. Didnt even bother with anything 7* related because all those offers were.bad.
I mean we can't let whales get ahead of the grinders who are the real soul of any game...
If whales get way ahead of grinders and crush em.
it'll cause grinders to leave the game then the forums will see less posts and battlegrounds will see less participants and eventually everyone will leave the game...
Cyber weekend kabam did a pretty good job maintaining the balance
If its the former, then great
If its the latter then that is hardly "for all"
I can only speak to the Paragon deals, but they seemed pretty well targeted.
The Odin offers were targeted at people looking to become Valiant and players at that level could easily dismiss the other offers without feeling like they're missing out. The lower priced offers were targeted at people still focusing on building their rosters and ranking their 6* - those probably not quite ready to become Valiant.
The fact that they were underwhelming made it pretty easy for most people to decide "I don't need to buy everything."
I appreciated that about these offers quite a bit.
Planing on doing a 1000 units deal, after todays arena work, to get the missing cosmic T6CC for my first R5…R4 200 sig ascended Angela…🔥🔥🔥
So, not great cash deals for a 💩 Paragon with no ambitions about doing Necro and become Valiant, but the units deals is fine…Angela R5, ascend R4 NF (SQ) and R4 my 200 sig R3 Herc is a good week in my book 🫡
Thanks all
