EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE
There was an issue with an offer that sent out a surplus of Tier 7 Basic Catalysts.
While the Game Team investigates a way to remedy this issue, we will be putting the Game into Emergency Maintanance.
We do not currently have an estimate on how long this will take, however, we will let you know as soon as we know anything.
Thank you for your patience.

if they said Buy And Open Ultra Mega Solo Crystals and you get XYZ milestone rewards, players could review and decide whether it's worth their time. Unfortunately, many were expecting the journey (popping crystals) as the reward, or at least A reward. This was also sold under the 10th Anniversary Banquet Celebration Banner and instead reeks of We Have 10 Years of Best Practices Data From Events And Our AI Model Predicts X Revenue and Y Player Engagement Levels With Z Event Strategy. My alliance feed is littered with 7* and Titan pulls/rank ups which seem like a win but when my TB alt sports a 7R3 and my Paragon alt now has 2 7r3s and 0 run in Act 8 yet, while my Valiant accts just add to a backlog of rank up mats, this reeks even more of the Everyone Can Be Valiant Whether They've Earned It Or Naw game strategy. Which is to say, there's too many moving parts to this that will rub too many people the wrong way.
Seeing as how they've Stark Foundation-proofed the Realm Event, it will be very interesting to see how they dig out of this quagmire of hurt feelings. Hey, if they give away 11 free 7 stars...
I really feel like the balance here is still wrong
Who cares if the whales get sig 60 or sig 200 on their newly released champs, they always have and always will be in a different universe from most of the players.
The problem is that’s no fun and turns this into another sale where you spend units for some fixed packages and then get some extra random crystals as a bonus. The extra crystals have an RNG chance to sweeten the deal but the odds are so low you might as well write them off when you’re considering how much to spend.
That view also turns the Realm event into a unit spending event and not a banquet crystal event.
I’d rather see the focus on the crystals and get most of my stuff there. It makes it more fun and exciting than exchanging units for milestone rewards.
And the event ISN'T EVEN DONE! Assuming that the milestones are reached. I get a dupe on Isophene combined with lots of other goodies! I really don't get the complaint. I pulled lots of T6CC and rank up mats just like everyone else. And I have loads of champs to STILL rank up! As a top end Valiant player I am beyond happy with what I got. Now I'll let the whales get their R4's by spending way more than I ever would. And elevate my goodies in the realm event.
Deadpool X-force (new) thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.. but here he is.
Oh indeed. So sorry that I didn’t realize that we desperately needed to fill our overflow inventory with T5 catalysts. Complete and utter waste of units. Literally the opposite of what was stated on the livestream. You’ve lost the trust of a lot of people by camouflaging a complete and bold-faced lie as “hype”
10 years of playing and feeling completely shafted and misled…
I spent 7k units and received no more than 2 of any specific T6CC, that’s not enough for a rank up. I received 5 or so tier 6 basic, about 6k seven star shards, and roughly 3/4 of one tier 4 alpha catalyst, that’s 25% of what is needed for a rank 3. That’s cool you’re enjoying your new Medusa, my key lead me to a Sentry I pulled 4 hours ago and he’s still ramping up.
Even with the milestones, I only opened a couple new crystals after purchasing shards in the BG store, pulls were not fantastic. My total reward package was the ability to take 3 current seven stars (again, my RnG pulls were not good ones) on my roster to rank 2. Not exactly how I was looking to use 7k + units.
My experience sadly resonates with a lot of the community. Now hearing the crystals weren’t beefed up because of the fear of the whales (who are going to whale and be a light year ahead no matter what) is a real kick in the nuts to the majority. Watch the YouTubers, they share the same sediment as the players who feel downtrodden and shortchanged by this very hyped event. This was the culminating event of the year, and judging by the majority of posts, it’s leaving many not motivated moving into 2025.
this banquet event is a total disappointment and let down… rank up rewards is not even half of cyberspace monday.. and kabam said in live stream it would be awesome and the best event.. such a big lie.
< blockquote class="Quote" rel="Kabam Crashed">Hello. This right here I think is the main the main disconnect between how the game team sees this event and how disappointed Summoners see it.
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.
Dude, at the last live you guys literally said that the drop rates are better, specifically for the new crystal. You literally acknowledged about the last banquet only to create a worse version.
So what's this bs response? Most the responses I see are like "ohhh but we focused on the events. The milestones are giving out better rewards". This is a big fat lie and misleading as hell compared to what you guys promoted and hyped.
You hyped everyone and we got scammed.
The loyal players will never save for the banquet again. You literally killed that event.
So much for listening to our feedback and creating a better experience
This just seems like a massive miss, and I haven’t come across anyone yet who is genuinely happy about this event. I don’t think I’ll participate in the banquet event next year, especially considering this was supposed to be the “grand” banquet, and what I got from it feels like what I could have gotten from a month of aq/raid/BGs. Not worth the amount of units AT ALL.
As an aside, I think this is an awful format for realm events. It's the worst of both worlds where there's not really much community spirit seeing as how the point requirements are designed to be the limiting factor rather than the community progress as a whole, but it's also pretty obvious that the event is priced around reaching the Isophyne objective. I'd ask you this: if that Isophyne objective *wasn't* reached, would the game team shrug their shoulders and tell everyone who spent 15k units that the community should have tried a little harder? Because if not and it's a sure thing regardless (as it would seem seeing as how you seem pretty sure that 15k is the optimal amount of units to put in), what is the point of the realm event?
"It would create an enormous gap between big spenders and everyone one else" this alone proves you guys lost sight of how to manage these event, who cares if it's gonna give a huge advantage to whales that literally what it should do, I'm not a whale myself but if I read this line then all I would think is that kabam is trying to make me spend more while also trying to make sure I receive the same amount as any other regular player that plays for about 30 mins to an hour a day. Which is complete and utter B.S. if yall were really worried about big spenders obtaining to many tier 4 cats for r3 then just say that. Tell us that either you don't want big spenders to pay their way through or just say your not gonna add any teir 4 cats and in turn are able to increase the value of each item within the crystal so big spenders won't obtain to much of the main r3 resource but there will still be some in the milestones, which right now I belive is three but take it out of the crystal and you could have added like 1 or 2 extra to the milestones to make up for it not being in the crystal. Simple
"And I'm having a blast with my new 7-star medusa" ummm good for you?
Overall message don't forget to read between the lines yall, started replaying this game about 2 years ago around the gwenpool bubble blowout and when I started going to forums for update or what not i started realizing that the devs sort of, kinda like to gaslight us. Wrether it's something they go back on and just say something along the lines of "well things change" or When they release event info, champ info, etc and just stay quit when they know it's gonna cause a bit of a backlash and then come to forums just to say that we're ungrateful and unforgiving to everything they have done for them like some abusive @ass boyfriend
