as usual, the community throws a temper tantrum because we don't think and kabam made the grave mistake of not spoon feeding us the best strategy.

the fact is, the banquet is all about the milestones and SBCs are just the cherry on top. you get the milestones then GT FO unless you're a massive whale who is going for top 90.

they should have just called it the super duper milestone banquet event so the message could finally seep into our thick skulls.

anyways...happy holidays and happy new year you filthy savages : )

    SBCs are the main stuff cause they cost units/money.

    So the SBC yield should have been greater than the combined milestone rewards??? 🤯

    No, the facts are clearly stated in the "How to Get Points" description ...You need to open/purchase Banquet Crystals to achieve the milestones therefore the BCs are the requirements the "Milestones" are the added incentive or as you stated the "...cherry on top", Oh yeah BTW enjoy your holiday season.

    No one is saying this. We simply want the crystals to be what was promised to us: Contain. Less. Filler.
    How is materials to rank up 7* considered just filler , do you have more than 100 r3's sig 200 champs already?

    he said there's less filler and that's a fact. SBCs are geared for 7*s and he wasn't lying. take your fat bag of goodies from the milestones and get out. there's no use crying over nothing.

    While what you said is true the sounds he makes out of the mouth was saying this cystal wil be a lot better this year yeah there kind or but he also forgot to mention that’s the lowest possible to get tier 6 cc is 10 procent you getting that’s ever days already

    Milestones are just something guaranteed like if I'm really not gonna pull anything good from SBCs then at least will get something from milestones.
    And isn’t this exactly what has happened? 🤷‍♂️

    You’re clearly not reading so let me spell it out for you.

    There are more shards available in other parts of the game at a cheaper cost. Meaning that with this lower amount, you are paying more for less materials.

    How is that not filler??

    the community is deliberately ignoring the real value that is staring them in the face. if you spend the 15k units, you get a TON of goodies and it's worth it.

    the issue with this stubborn, stupid, thick headed community is we don't like the way the deal is structured : )

    here, buy this slice of pizza for $1000 and we'll throw in a free car that's worth $20 000.

    the community: "nooooo! i hate it! $1000 for a slice is ridiculous! what a slap in the face! who do you think you are? i'm calling the cops, my lawyer, the fbi, blah blah blah".

    the value is there, the community just refuses to acknowledge it.

    The main event is the milestones brother the exclusive stuff is in there , the crystals are rng and a way to get the good stuff from 3 sets of milestones.

    The value shouldn’t only be be one the realm rewards because the cystal also need something and not just fillers for the most bad you’ll would know that back when it was gifted event the cystal gav value to

    There's seven guaranteed 7* 2 awakening gems most valuable resource close to the r4 gem , 6 t4a ishopeny and she Hulk so nine 7* .

    But I guess people want a Garbo crystal to be better than the main event .

    This is just false. We were told that the crystals would have less filler, and they don’t. And the main way we interact with the event? You guessed it! Opening crystals!! We were promised something that wasn’t true. That’s why people are upset

    The issue is the community has different definitions of filler than kabam does. For me and Kabam, 6* shards and anything that is solely 6* materials, is filler items. We fortunately don't have any of those in the crystal.

    In no way am I saying the crystal is good though because it isn't and that is fine with me. I'm good paying the minimum amount needed to get the milestones without being tempted to spend more units.

    @startropics What you said is absolutely correct. If they called this Super Milestone banquet event then noone would have cared. BUT they said LESS FILLER and AMAZING DROP RATES. Which is completely contradicting what is in the game. So do you now understand what all of this fuzz was about.

    Is it called the SBC banquet event ?

    You'd be lucky if you got even one 7 star and enough materials to take that 7-star to r2 from the number of SBCs needed to hit the milestones. That's less than what you would get by playing the game normally for a short period of time. The 31% drop rate class catalyst fragments should not be there, the drop rate for everything else could have been scaled up proportionally.

    The milestones are a way to gate the rewards from larger part of the community. Not everyone is spending 15K units on the event. It isn't pay $1000 for a pizza slice and get a car, it's pay $1000 for a pizza slice and convince 200K others to buy the same pizza slice and we will throw you a pizza party.

    Genuine question, not at all attempting to be disrespectful, but has there been any issue in the game that you weren’t on Kabam’s side for?

    Just bc always being on one side of things usually means being on that side is more important than being objective, as one side is almost never objectively correct 100% of the time.

    Tbf I don’t even disagree with some of the things in this post. But it’s just too easy to believe that you’re just taking Kabam’s side for the sake of it, rather than from trying to be objective.

    Again, no disrespect intended,

    when the event started i ignored the milestones, popped a bunch of SBCs and was shocked at how awful they were. then i calmed down, looked at the milestones, and slowly felt better.

    we're mad at the way they approached the deal, not the deal itself. there's good value in the milestones and it's a shame more players don't see it or refuse to see it.

    cheers.
