I've taken your concerns to the community representative committee, but at the moment there is no clear consensus on how to proceed. They are still discussing these issues and hope to have a solution soon, but as you can imagine these discussions are confidential and they appear busy with other matters at the moment.
Excellent. While I have the attention of the "committee" I'd like to demand that someone look into this grey screen bug.
WHY is it only happening on Spider Ham and Nimrod fights? Sometimes I will have several fights that aren't SHam or Nimnuts and I forget that it happens. Then bam, smoke screen. That is a poor user experience. Please make every fight a gray screen. To the people that can't handle this new dark ops game mode...git gud.
We could announce the details, or we could get endless free advertisement every single day in every single channel about how excited players are to learn the details.
In all seriousness though, the only things that need to be known in advance are the start time, which has been announced, and the Alliance lockout, which remains the same as last year. You must be in an Alliance for two weeks before you can contribute to Alliance points or earn Alliance rewards. That means you want to move to your Banquet Alliance before the event starts.
Dear Kabam Crashed, You who work tirelessly to craft events that excite and challenge, Hear the prayers of your loyal Summoners! The Banquet Event hangs in the balance, A mystery shrouded in secrecy, Our units saved, our hopes high, yet our patience grows thin.
Grant us the gift of revelation, Let the light of your details shine upon us. Bless our inboxes with announcements, Our screens with clarity, And our hearts with the joy of preparation.
Oh mighty architect of crystals and quests, We humbly ask you to crash no more— But to rise, to deliver, and to guide us, For the wait has tested even the strongest of rosters.
In loyalty and anticipation, We send this prayer across the Battle Realm. Amen.
Was this you or Chat GPT? Impressed if you hammered that our so quickly.
At any rate, I checked with the team and players can expect full details on Wednesday.
It was me ofc, kappa claus deluxe, thanks for the reply!
Interesting that GPTZero flagged it, but you can tell this isn't AI generated, or at least not by any of the major publicly accessible AI generators. It is a bit too context aware of MCOC, which most generators aren't without a ton of prompting.
However, it feels like the author structured this after something or somethings they are familiar with, using other text as a template, much like someone might create parody lyrics. I suspect GPTZero is keying on that, and stuff 21st century humans tend not to do but text generators often will because it is in training data. The hanging long hyphen, for example. GPTZero is probably noticing that, and it is designed not just to detect wholly generated AI text, but also flag when it is possible someone took generated text and then embedded it in a larger work.
I could be wrong, but "even the strongest of rosters" feels human. It is non-sequitur to the rest of the work, but makes perfect sense within the context of an MCOC player.
I was thinking that op had written their own version and then put it into chat gpt to reword/restructure and the changes were significant enough to flag it
or even vice versa, at least that’s what I would do. Just use some gpt as a template.

I think it would be beneficial if they announced a general idea of what to expect in banquet during the cyber week deals. Maybe not details but a general “t4a will be more accessible, 6/7* and Titan shards will be more available in crystal drops, etc.” would let players decide that if that’s what they want then they’ll hold until banquet or if they’re more focused on rankup materials they’ll spend more units during cyber. And for players that pay, it’s possible knowing what’s coming they’ll spend more for banquet crystals on top of spending on cyber because they want the best of both. Idk, just my opinion.
There are a number of reasons why announcing these things is detrimental. Unfortunately, people tend to only be open-minded towards preferred outcomes in these cases. Which is why I won't list them. The bottom line is, they're not in the habit of making announcements before it's time. There are some things they share with us in advance, be it on here, in Lives, through CPP, or other avenues. They're never upfront about all the details until it's the right time.
The hype was there, the excitement about special thing, but with all of this situation, now everything turns into question after question, speculation after speculation.
Maybe trying new thing, new formula, idk, but at what cost? I think this is not good for us but mainly for them per now, because waiting is kinda hurt..
It looks simple, but turns out people really take that somewhat seriously. Imagine we have all the details tough, maybe we will waiting in a joy... but yeah I hope for the best for all of us
Last year they announced early and it was a complete dud... Maybe they figured out there will always be people disappointed and having negative posts for 2 weeks is not worthy...
The silence for an announcement might be worth it for an unknown event. Not for Banquet, which happens every year at the same date.
It would have been nice to know a week or two in advance (like last year) what the milestones are at least, so we know how many units we need and we can grind them.
And despite what a lot of people think, yes you can grind easily 3k units in one weekend as a FTP player, I did it 2 weeks ago by doing the units paths of chapters 7,8 and 9.1.
Overall, it's was a really bad strategy to just stay silent until 2 days before the event.

You can't farm those units if you already completed the content long ago... That's not unit farming really...

What if someone joined 13 days before the event??? PS- That person is me.
I'm curious why people feel a need to know what banquet has to offer when things like Cyber weekend and J4 don't really tell us in advance what we will get either.
Probably because some are already burned out because of the arena grinding, and want to know if they should stop, or keep pushing.
The worst part is once again the lack of acknowledgment at all from Kabam.
Not one word.
But whatever, radio silence is the new (old?) norm.
Why does it even matter?...
If it doesn't to you, then there's the door. Bye Felicia.
It obviously doesn't matter to them to release early either... You are being the Felicia here... You bring out the radio silence as if this was a case of wrong doing towards a player and sweeping it under the rug... Oh I get now, you are the same dude that started a post about not getting answers on an issue that was beat and posted to death . Yeah makes total sense
Actually my post was about this exact thing. The team known for poor communication, who acknowledged the poor communication, then promised better communication, not doing even minor basic communication on posts that are clearly important to a large group of customers who are waiting to spend in game and monetary resources and just want an idea of what they are spending those resources on ahead of time.
If being ignored is your thing that's great. No judgment. But for others it's not.
Well if you are so upset about this, and they don't release the contents of the crystals... I guess you would have the integrity and spine to stand for your principles and not buy a single banquet crystal or even participate on the event .. I mean you are claiming such wrong doing and how it affects you . Seems only fair that you stick it to them right? Otherwise you are just being whiny about not getting your way kicking and screaming in the candy aisle..
Bro, you’re the guy that’s always talking about how global is so toxic yet you’re being toxic right now.
No I always said its a sewer.... You are the guy who told me to get out and bye Felicia... And now you calling me toxic?..🤣 Don't throw the first stone and cry about it later...
Stop it, guys, otherwise, you will both be told to your parents. I don't think you want to be grounded. Hahahaha!

Yeah plus there’s like a whole alliance event attached to banquet that for a lot of players is the biggest part of the year. Maybe people don’t wanna get stuck short and let their mates down. Similarly as ally leader I don’t wanna have people feeling like they have to spend (at Xmas especially) to keep up with the majority. We’ve worked on a 10k basis but who knows if that will be enough for ally milestones. I don’t see what the issue is with a little forewarning aside from the will to put players in such situations.

Then you will want to wait until your timer expires before opening crystals. If you joined 13 days prior, you will wait a day after the event starts before you can earn alliance points.

It's 8:30 AM wednesday here in india.. do we expect to get it today or tommorow given our timezone difference?
It runs on server time, not India time 🙄
am i demanding them to release the notes? I am just asking when do we expect the notes.. if you can't provide something constructive just don't. no one is going to blame you

I dont need to be constructive, its common sense. Everything in the game runs on server time. Just cause its Wednesday where you are doesn't mean its Wednesday everywhere, specially where the server is based and most people work at the company.
Just out of curiosity, what would the people who are so insistent about the info have done differently?... Its not like they would have farmed units harder, and even if the possibility of farming units harder was possible why not do it anyway?
Since most info drops are at 10 am on the west coast, it is not illogical to think that the info would be released then as well.
You are right; and its not against you, just don't want to see people saying "omg Kabam its already Thursday in the Republic of Wantinfokistan why is the info not out!!"

Its not like they would have farmed units harder, and even if the possibility of farming units harder was possible why not do it anyway? Your math is wrong, because they said on Wednesday, never said at what time.
I’m more looking forward to 4th of July 2025 😅
