    The Grand Banquet was truly a disappointment!
    As someone who went at this completely F2P and in an ally all by myself (by design), the event was like a 3/10.

    The banquet crystals really should give all rewards as selectors so we can choose what we want. 90% of my crystals were fragments for rankup materials that I already have in overflow. The other 10% were such small quantities each of 7* shards and T4 alpha that it basically was worse than the daily super event...lol. I would've rather just been able to choose straight 7* titan or crystal shards (I'd even take it at a reduced quantity to guarantee that I get what I want).

    Guess I'm happy I got the Deathless She-Hulk piece, but there's no chance in Hell I'll get enough points to pull the Isophyne dupe from the realm event (which was maybe the only other thing I would have wanted).

    So yea, for me the overall the cumulative rewards of the daily super event >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> banquet.

    Pretty sure last year they came as a calendar. I imagine we'll see one in about 50 minutes

    The banquet itself (the crystals) are bad. But the rewards in the realm, solo, and alliance events make it alright i guess

    Yeh but to get them rewards you need to purchase these "tier 5 class cat crystals" aka (SBC)

    They really should have different crystals for all the title progressions. I got stuff that thronebreaker me would've loved... As a valiant it just sent everything into overflow. Really sucks.

    I'm only disappointed because this banquet event was hyped up to be a real game changer and it then just ended up being like any other banquet with slightly better drops ig.

    The banquet has always been a “meh” event so I couldn’t possibly call it a disappointment when I wasn’t expecting it to be good. I don’t know why people are shocked honestly.

    I got a few 7* dupes to get me closer to a Titan and I can rank a few champs to R2 for Carinas so it’s fine. Just as fine as last year, and the year before that.

    Yeah, this is just not a good take. The milestones are nearly the exact same minus the realm rewards. The crystals are actually worse than last year’s. I got more 7* last year off half as many crystals as I opened this year. I literally get better rewards from my daily crystals. If you’re happy with that for the 15k units, good for you, but you got ripped off. This isn’t a problem with just rng, it’s a problem with drop rate, drop quantity. If I got the 7* sig stones in a higher quantity, I think the event could’ve been a lot better. Instead, I got nearly all t6b/t3a/t5cc/t6cc out of around 70 crystals

    Completely agree. Drop rates are very disgusting. If you get the reward, it is usually the lowest reward tier. ~ 40 crystals opened, never seen titan crystal shards, maximum got 1.5 7* shards, catalysts fragments are only the lowest amount.
    I realise that I buy SBCs only to get this dupe for Isophyne.

    I would disagree with that statement. Back in the day when it was the “gifting” event, the rewards and event were worth the units. It’s only really been the last two-three banquet events where Kabam has really dropped the ball. Ever since the largely changed the mindset of shifting amazing rewards to content that takes forever to roll out versus fun events like these.

    Also to look at the milestones and see how pathetic they are for the units invested. Last year the event didn’t cost nearly as much to get stuff like this. Roughly 9-10k to max out the rewards if memory serves. Now with the 5-6k unit inflation, I would expected a higher grade of rewards for the investment.

    Drop rates are a joke. 20 crystals and all t5 or t6...and small amounts.

    I’m sorry you didn’t have a good experience. I only spent around 7K units, same as last year, and got slightly better stuff this year than last year as I was expecting. I wish Kabam would have made it better but oh well. The Superior crystals they talked about made it seem promising, but then we saw the drop rates.

    This 100%, the banquet events were always literally the best time in Mcoc the whole year. Now its completely flipped and the worst time of the year, dont even want to load up my game for a couple days after this.

    we should be getting a calendar in 15 minutes, it should give us 1, then each day after another 1

    I was going to spend big on this event - won’t be spending a single cent on it now. Paying money to Kabam only perpetuates the problem. The ONLY thing they care about is the dollar bottom line. Boycotting the event on mass is the only way to send a message.

    How hilarious, again hoping Kabam would have something up its sleeve… I open the game with baited breath waiting for a Christmas calendar and all we get is a pointless accolades calendar that will only lead to a few more sh**ty grifting crystal. 🥲

    One thing i learner today if we want guarantee rewards go with cyber weekend else go with rng luck for banquet event.
    People want guarantee rewards which kabam has not learn in this 10 years, if they go like this without doubt this game also shutdown like there other games.
    RNG sucks man its really slap to face all those units and arena grinding. 😔

    Literally in my alliance people are not opening a single crystal now and we decided that we would purchase $199 bundle previously if rewards are great but after seeing rng

    The amount of high value items when you actually pull the rare drop rate really takes what looks like a good crystal and makes it feel a bit crappy

    Personally bad, but the highlight of the day is duping my Patrigoat from Titan after Carina Challenge #2

    Yeah, they dropped the ball in this event. The milestones are decent but the amount you have to spend to get them because you are not getting anything of value from the crystals if you are Valiant, is not worth it at all. Only thing I got that I couldn't get before was like 1250 tier 7 basic shards which I will be years away from getting enough to get anyone to R4.

    I was very disappointed for the first time ever during this event after playing for 7-8 yrs.

    opened 80 superior crystals and got:
    1 7 star limited selector (great!)
    15,000 7 star shards
    5,000 titan shards
    1 T4 Alpha and change
    630 fragments of tier 7 basic
    16 sig stones

    And other stuff was what I’d call filler

    24,000 units worth of banquet crystals for two seven stars and a T4A

    The absolute cherry on top is the keys being a **** gacha and not letting your select which buffed champion you want and letting RNG AGAINNNNN be a deciding factor. Kabam... have you learned nothing. Now I kinda feel stupid for not getting in the Hunters Market
