So due to the ‘seapration’ of the mega wales from the rest of the community if they actually put decent rewards in the crystals (newsflash @Kabam - they’re already separated) the 99% of the rest of the community has to put up with mediocre crystal rewards from the ‘‘superior’’ crystals in the ‘‘grand’’ banquet. A good stab at placating the player population @Kabam Crashed but I don’t think most of us are buying it, or your underwhelming crystals.
If you build the main prizes into the milestones, you spread the value around more evenly and you keep whales from getting a huge windfall.
If the crystals are absolutely lit, megawhales will get more separation from the population as a whole.
We deliberately include as much of the reward package as we can in the events themselves. This year, everything in the SBC can be used on 7-star champions, so there shouldn't be anything in there that is completely useless to players. But the crystals are never going to be the main focus of the rewards, because if they were as TyEdge correctly summarized, it would mean creating an enormous gap between the big spenders and everyone else.
I will pop back into this thread after the event is over to share more comprehensive thoughts like I did last year. But in the meantime, I encourage Summoners to take a breath and look at the total reward package that was available as part of this event. I personally think there is more here for ~15K Units than there was during Cyber Week, and I'm having a blast with my new 7-Star Medusa.
Enjoy the holiday break everyone.
ok, we get you work at kabam…but is this your honest opinion ? From a real player pov ?
Just wanna say Crashed has been incredibly open and honest with the community, above and beyond what is required by his position. He's been very generous with his time especially here on the forums, let’s please not impugn his character. You can disagree with his assessment if you do, but please trust that if hes saying it he means it.
I completely agree, Crashed has been excellent. Nothing against him, you, or anyone else personally on the Kabam team. I will echo all of the constructive feedback in this feed. You have given us seven star rank up materials to use on seven stars. I can appreciate that. However, we were told there would be less filler in this crystal, By Crashed himself. When the main reward we get from this crystal is less class catalyst than we can get from other stores (example: BGs and rank up store), it rubs us the wrong way. It is filler. No two ways around that.
I was disappointed with most of my SBCs, but in hindsight, I think it's a bit disingenuous to ignore all the milestone rewards we get for getting and opening SBCs and act as if the contents of the SBC is all that was received.

Confirms my thoughts - top progression players should just forget the banquet being a meaningful event anymore. Spend your units elsewhere. This event is destined to be lackluster forever…. Ignore all Kabam hype leading up to it.
Thronebreakers are having a great time, I'm sure. If they're still going to be treated like a top progression and roped in on the rewards, we might as well just accept that what is good to progress thronebreaker accounts is what is good for the rest of us.

I mean all of what he is saying is quite contradictory to what was said on stream was it not? I feel like he shouldn't be lying and hyping up the event for nothing, just for everyone to get screwed over

You think it’s ok to spend 300 units on a SBC and get items you can get for free in the game that’s ridiculous. There should be a guarantee of 7 star and titan shards above the 1500 and 1000 level drops. There already a huge gap between whales and non whales so why are you so concerned at this point with it. It shouldn’t hurt your company to give us fair value for the units we wasted on this garbage event.

Didn't you literally say that the crystals wouldn't be as filler this time?
I think his point is Kabam doesn’t see it as filler because it’s all relevant to 7* champs.
Players that have been spending resources like trophy tokens on nothing but t6cc for the past many months like myself and have 200+ 25% crystals stacked up are met with a banquet that has 31% t6cc and it’s super disappointing.
It also seems apparent that the perceived value of 7* shards and particularly titan shards between Kabam and players are very much skewed.

This is how I view it as well. Filler for me is the iso and gold. I'm constantly waiting on t6cc to rank up.

I understand that, but IMO I think it's sensible to think that Paragon and above would much rather have gotten a lot more T4A than we got right now. The fragments are too low and percentage is too low on the fully formed. I was barely able to fully form a T4A from fragments in 40 crystals.

The problem isn’t exactly t6b and t3a, those are useful to have,the problem is the drop rates, which is mostly why they didn’t release them most likely.

You guys overhyped the event from the beginning and everyone had their hopes. For first year I'm disappointed that much. You can't just put mainly t4 and t5 fragments. All whales got all champions already and you think if u had increased shard drops there will be big gap between whales and us. For first year ever I'm seeing streamers disappointed with Banquet. Kabam you did not good event, take that and do something . Forum is flouded with disappointed players.. 2/10 event!
You said lower filler, but it's the same like last year. You removed 6 star things and thinking you lower the filler, game has moved to 7 stars long time ago. 300 units for fragments

just wanted to put this here, im not sure if you guys have saw it, but this should demonstrate how the player base feels about the event.
and dont forget top whales will get 2025 champ token and r4s for god sake. If this aint creating a gap then what it.
Without getting into conspiracy theories, it's because gaps created by cash are more palatable than gaps created by farmed units. But that's nothing new.

Yeah ratio is wild even then that stuff to me was used instant but not with many rank ups from them since how many it takes to use
From 50 crystals (15k units) I got like 3000 7* shards. From daily super event I would get 3000 7* shards free in 4 day. If I calculate from login calendar and daily super event for 1 month I will get more 7* shards than from 50 crystals and for free.
I’m of mixed feelings on the Banquet. Unfortunately, mainly sour. So far the 10th Anniversary has been really fun, announcements, buffs, free 7 stars, etc. I think it’s hard for the players coming off the 7 stars. (It was exciting to get all the 7 stars, even though the only new ones for me were Gwenpool and Isophyne, it was still really cool.) It built great goodwill because we were guaranteed a reward. So it’s natural the hype was big for the Banquet, the culmination of the 10th anniversary celebration. Now the banquet is just a different beast. Great rewards but at an extremely low, I mean low, chance of getting them. It was like the main prize offered was a Porsche but most of us got spark plugs and bottles of oil, practical but not at all fun. So for many it has negatively affected all the positive goodwill the 10th Anniversary has built. My suggestion, better chances at or, dare I say, guaranteed 7 star and Titan crystals next year. I’m certainly not quitting the game and I’ll use my overabundance of materials to rank up my roster but I will be pretty bummed if we don’t get all the realm banquet prizes.

Okay already said one but forgot to say a bit more if the drop from tier 6cc wasn’t all the way to that’s small amount probably wouldn’t ben as bad but I get there need to be filler somehow but speaking from the economy let take super daily giv me more tier 6cc ever day this event use to be rank up mat now it feels like if you can’t get decent enough points for realms and solo you already lost it so my feedback is this might had been better to had increased the yield from tier 6CC as last merry Christmas though.
If you build the main prizes into the milestones, you spread the value around more evenly and you keep whales from getting a huge windfall.
If the crystals are absolutely lit, megawhales will get more separation from the population as a whole.
We deliberately include as much of the reward package as we can in the events themselves. This year, everything in the SBC can be used on 7-star champions, so there shouldn't be anything in there that is completely useless to players. But the crystals are never going to be the main focus of the rewards, because if they were as TyEdge correctly summarized, it would mean creating an enormous gap between the big spenders and everyone else.
I will pop back into this thread after the event is over to share more comprehensive thoughts like I did last year. But in the meantime, I encourage Summoners to take a breath and look at the total reward package that was available as part of this event.

The milestone sure gives a better value than cyber if compare 15k units I agree but do u forget what is main motive of banquet event
Banquet event main focus is on gambling from crystals which motivates players to open more and even more crystals If milestone is only consideration than why name the event banquet there are many events whole year where people get fix stuff from either milestones or completing higher content
What's good about banquet is opening crystals and motivating yourself to open even more just to get good stuff
But the problem this year is there is no incentive to open crystals for valiant players atleast bcuz those are giving only 10% t6cc or t5cc or half t3 alphas
I say even if you guys atleast put a little more higher count in all stuff it could be much better event for example - like instead of putting minimum 10% t6cc u guys could have put minimum 50% t6cc & removing t5cc from these crystals & could have increased the minimum of shards to atleast 5k-10k
See the another problem is also that u guys treating Tb and valiant equally still after more than the year to valiant title
A tb player can be happy with t5cc or 10% t6cc or 1-2k 7* shard but for valiant player this deal for 300 units is not worth
I seen in many crystals u guys put progression based nexus type rewards to choose according to their progression locked but when it comes to banquet tb and valiants are getting same stuff
Either say in clear words that this event is for now only low progression level players and highest progression shouldn't expect anything great
U guys yourself madeup hype for valiants players by saying that this year will be different from last year and highest progression will be treated separately but the crystals doesn't reflect any of your words.
@SubDegree completely echo you mate. Similar progression level, so fair I’ve got the mats to R3 one more champ. Opened two 7* crystals. Masses of T6b and T3a in overflow now.
The drop rates were disappointing, especially compared to actual unit spend in cyber.
Im very concerned that we’ve done the 15ish spend and the disappointment will stop others from participating so we won’t get to the milestone rewards that justified a 15-20k spend.
Big shame on this one.
This is a strong possibility. far too much of the better stuff is in the realm milestones.
And the drop rates weren't great. I opened 124 and only got 6 seven stars total between a selector, a box key, a nexus and shards.

I get the concept of not making the crystals themselves too OP as then whoever buys the most will progress the most but I do think too many of the juicier milestones are in the realm event vs the solo or alliance ones. Of course if everyone spends/buys then everyone gets them but it's far from guaranteed and that in itself will lead to massive disappointment. The last real event there had to be artificial points boosting - I can see this one going a similar way.

Players that have been spending resources like trophy tokens on nothing but t6cc for the past many months like myself and have 200+ 25% crystals stacked up are met with a banquet that has 31% t6cc and it’s super disappointing.
It also seems apparent that the perceived value of 7* shards and particularly titan shards between Kabam and players are very much skewed.
If you want people to buy odins to get a mid champ next week, this wasn’t the best way to start off the banquet.
You guys overhyped the event from the beginning and everyone had their hopes. For first year I'm disappointed that much. You can't just put mainly t4 and t5 fragments. All whales got all champions already and you think if u had increased shard drops there will be big gap between whales and us. For first year ever I'm seeing streamers disappointed with Banquet. Kabam you did not good event, take that and do something . Forum is flouded with disappointed players.. 2/10 event!
You said lower filler, but it's the same like last year. You removed 6 star things and thinking you lower the filler, game has moved to 7 stars long time ago.
300 units for fragments
just wanted to put this here, im not sure if you guys have saw it, but this should demonstrate how the player base feels about the event.

also, the realm,solo, and ally milestones give WAYYY to much, the balance is crazy. The crystal to event dif is crazy.
From daily super event I would get 3000 7* shards free in 4 day. If I calculate from login calendar and daily super event for 1 month I will get more 7* shards than from 50 crystals and for free.
So far the 10th Anniversary has been really fun, announcements, buffs, free 7 stars, etc.
I think it’s hard for the players coming off the 7 stars. (It was exciting to get all the 7 stars, even though the only new ones for me were Gwenpool and Isophyne, it was still really cool.) It built great goodwill because we were guaranteed a reward. So it’s natural the hype was big for the Banquet, the culmination of the 10th anniversary celebration.
Now the banquet is just a different beast. Great rewards but at an extremely low, I mean low, chance of getting them. It was like the main prize offered was a Porsche but most of us got spark plugs and bottles of oil, practical but not at all fun. So for many it has negatively affected all the positive goodwill the 10th Anniversary has built.
My suggestion, better chances at or, dare I say, guaranteed 7 star and Titan crystals next year.
I’m certainly not quitting the game and I’ll use my overabundance of materials to rank up my roster but I will be pretty bummed if we don’t get all the realm banquet prizes.
