Hi All,
I've put some money away for the game and trying to decide what is likely to be the better investment between Cyber Weekend and the Banquet Event.
Gazing into your crystal balls, if you were to only spend on one, which would you prioritise?

The last two banquet events have been pretty lackluster for endgame folks. I know Kabam has said they are going to beef it up for Valiants this year but I’ll believe it when it happens. As such if the Cyber weekend deals are really good I might invest there. However for lower level accounts the Banquet was better for them.
I vote for cyber weekend because you know exactly what you’re paying for in the deals that pop up. Banquet is much more rng dependant which I dislike.
Damn, that was quick, I don't think I even got the notification before it was removed...must've triggered some automated system
For an endgame player, you can get a lot from banquet for free and the rest is pretty much RNG rewards balanced around an infinite quanity due to the possibility of one person buying thousands of them.
Cyber weekend is guaranteed rewards that are balanced around them being in a limited quantity. The money deals are also a lot more lucrative in Cyber weekend than banquet, so spend your money on Cyber weekend and save some units for Banquet if you so desire or keep $100 at most laying around for Banquet.
For most players I expect the return on investment from banquet to drop off dramatically once they complete the solo milestones. I don’t know how many units that’ll be of course, but I wouldn’t expect spending units past that to be a good investment due to the level of competition we’re likely to see.
Ultimately, wait and see what the cyber weekend deals are. We should have a decent gauge on their value for the units spent. If they’re bad, save for banquet because it probably means the reward budget was transferred over there. If they’re a good to pretty good deal, there will definitely be a significant argument for investing in that guaranteed value.
Certainly for spending actual money Cyber Weekend is way more value
But this year's Banquet have to be good, it have to reward Valaints more when opening those same crystals that uncollected and cavs will open.
I don't think Kabam can afford 2 straight years dogwater Christmas sales numbers in a row.
