**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

You had a better chance at a Basic in the current Crystals than the new ones. That much was stated by the Mods. The largest probability is the Basic. In that Basic pool, you have all the Champs. Not a reduced selection.
For players coming up now, they are going to have a better chance at good champions also. Consider that the featured crystal comes up twice, then is gone. After that, if you want that champion you have to fish for them in the basic crystal. Any champ that eventually shows up in the new featured is going to be a lot easier for someone to get than if they have to fish for it in basic. They just have to wait until it appears. However long that is, it will likely be faster than pulling enough basics to catch up.
Everyone not in a good position to shoot for featureds now is losing nothing and gaining a lot with the new crystals. Everyone that already has great champions from featureds isn't going to be set back by the change. So its only a tiny sliver of players for whom this change is arguably bad. If you think this is about screwing players by setting them back, why would Kabam specifically target such a small group of players to hate on?
This better bud?
Ps. If they have to read it mightas well make em work!
But this becomes a really tiny needle to thread. Thinking that Kabam wants to screw players, but only certain players and only in certain ways, because they get a big thrill out of torturing players as far as they can without them quitting, is asking for too specific a level of psychosis to be reasonable.
Technically speaking, the new crystal has a higher chance to pull a featured than the current one. If you believe the point of the 5* featured crystal is to pull a featured champ, it does that better than the old one. What it doesn't do is let you pick which featured you want when you pull them. The new crystal will have six featureds and eighteen basics. That's one in four. The current crystal has about a one in five chance to pull the featured.
For many players, however, the point to *any* crystal opening is to try to improve their roster by the most efficient way possible. For players looking specifically for one particular champ, the current crystal is strategically more useful. But for players looking to minimize their chances of getting champions they cannot use, the new crystal looks like it can be strategically more valuable.
Every game change is going to help some players more than others. This change probably won't help me as much as others. But that doesn't make the changes pointless. Sometimes, the point is to improve the game overall in ways that some players will get less advantage from than others.
Anything fast tracked about grinding your fingers off for 6 months saving 150k shards for a specific champ? Or is it fast tracking when whales spend Odins and get them in 10 minutes?
I'd imagine alliance war income for kabam would hurt a bit more than gambling on trying to increase grandmasters crystals ...
Btw I'm sure this will be deleted so I'll make sure to screenshot and post on all social media
It doesn't take 6 months to open a Crystal that has a drop rate higher than any other in the game, as far as one specific Champ is concerned.
Nothing will change for the whales, just everyone else having to wait 3 MONTHS for a chance at new content
Seriously still with "intensive purpose
For all intensive purposes is the eggcorn term. It's commonly used.
Kabam doesn't get a thrill out of torturing players, but they will try and get to the maximum pushing-us-around line without having us quit. Maximum wallet pillaging, but not enough to make us quit.
Its not it's your own made up wording. You find it necessary to tell people when you think they are wrong so just returning the favour.
If you could convince enough people to join you, I'm sure they would notice. But I think you're going to be surprised just how hard it actually is to form consensus about anything in a game community. Everyone thinks they are part of a huge overwhelming majority of players that almost never actually exists.
Actual coordinated protest or even just requests from a significant percentage of a player base generally gets at least some results. But it has to be a significant percentage of all players. Getting a significant percentage of forum posters to protest a game change is like gathering a significant percentage of your high school classmates to protest Nabisco.
I've organized MMO players before; it is a very humbling experience. I think everyone should try it once. I think no one should be forced to do it twice.
People spend the extra 5k for not just a chance at the featured new champ but an increased chance at getting it. As it stands even with the extra sub featured pool you still have that same chance you’re spending 5k extra in the first place to get . Now that extra chance is gone.
And for what? To be less disappointed in what in your team’s opinion are less crappier champs? You just had us vote on 2 of the best champs in each class for frick sake! What a serious kick in the face, how easy do you think it’s going to be to dupe a featured Champ IF you pull him? Srsly? And please don’t tell me try again in 3 months. I also shouldn’t have to drop an odin for 10 chances at 3 star champs. Really need to take this back to the drawing board because except for the select few that want to dupe the subpar champs you’ve added , this is a complete waste of time no tea no shade. I’m holding off on what I’m hoping will be sabretooth released in a few months and if you’re telling me now my chances are slashed for getting him 5 times over, I never want to spin another featured nor shell out money to chance on them ever again and I speak for my alliance as well when I saw this. The games growing and sure changes need to be made, but this one is not well thought out and needs to be redone. I mean really, duping featureds this way. I’d rather get a root canal then deal with the pain of spending 90k shards on featured 5*s and getting a Thor Jane, an A.V., cyclops, punisher 2099, a cable and a juggernaut when all I want is a damn kilmonger or bishop. Ugh.
To be an eggcorn, you have to be unaware it is an eggcorn.
That contradicts the theory I was responding to, where the notion was that Kabam is willing to make changes that force players to spend more money by making options worse, *except* they also specifically want to avoid making any changes that might change the experience of the biggest spenders in ways that would make them angry. That's economically suboptimal.
Id call this a f#$king joke but its not even funny how little thought went into this trainwreck.
There is no evidence to support this because there's nothing that says the drop rate of the 5* Featured is higher in those Crystals.
Yeah, sure. Just keep telling yourself that.
It takes many months of grinding to save 120-135k shards for a specific champ. Much slower than a whale who spins him in 10 minutes.
Kabam just screwed every player who worked hard for their champions.
Glad to see I'm not the only one that thinks that.
