On a positive note, we now can hoard our daily valiant cristal and do a grand banquet opening of our own when we want. Grand banquet opening everywhere for everyone whenever you want " yeah baby, yeah !"😁

The sad part of this post is, if I actually would do this and save 30 of them.... I would probably have a better opening than I did with this not so grand event......
@mcoc team, Bought an Odin expecting a Gifted Guardian Key just like it says in game. No key & no offer to make it right. When the game team says something is available they should make sure the product is actually for sale
U should read it more carefully banquet all fathers odin whats in game atm is just an all fathers vault the bundle will drop on christmas deals
Where does it say there that the particular Odin needed is not available currently? It's misleading to say the least. Every other event they have throughout the year, deals are released in conjunction with the event. This should've been no different.
That's how it's always been. They open the event with the cash for crystals deal, then that goes away and we get the special unit bundles, then those go away and cash for crystals comes back. Every Year.
This whole event is a fraud and a scam. Pls just Refund my money or I'll file a lawsuit for going against european laws and I'll chargeback all the purchasing i made. Worst event ever.
What fraud? The drop rates, crappy as they were, were published.
This banquet is so terrible.. the amount of reward from sgbc is so little... 24k units on Cyber weekend I got 3 r2-3 7* and a bunch of 7* with a selector of 7*... this banquet event even with the rewards from sgbc plus the milestones in the events.. is it absolutely underground. The rank-up resources are not even half compared to Cyber-Weekend with the same amount of units issued...
I seen Kabam Crashed comment in regards to the pulls of the crystals and a reasoning why they do not offer increased rewards for the event and celebration of 10 years of MCOC. 'it would mean creating an enormous gap between the big spenders and everyone else' which I do agree to an extent but I don't necessarily agree that those who invest into the game should necessarily be nerfed.
Secondly. the milestone rewards. I am a recent Paragon player so a lot of these rewards to land on me well and have helped my account grow a bit, however, there is only so much in which I can get out of these milestones because I am not a unit spender which means eventually I will get stuck on a certain milestone and that progression will be very slow in comparison to the big spenders. So in proxy, these milestones are actually 'creating an enormous gap between the big spenders and everyone else'.
In my honest opinion, the milestones shouldn't have a prerequisite to unlock the stages because not every player can spend and open these GBCs/SBCs as reliably as the devoted investors that are the community whales, so the milestones that are released are in fact more so for the big spenders then the whole community as a whole. I believe personally that having the GBCs & SBCs having better rewards for them to invest in while removing the prerequisite of milestones for players would actually create an environment where us lesser spending players respect and appreciate the spenders more for what they actually bring to the game as a whole. Community is a big part of a games expansion and long term lifespan.

But this is the big problem Kabam has created for themselves. I think we can all agree that the really top rewards are in the Realm event (the 7* AG, t4a’s duping Isophyne, and now multiple 7* crystals, including a 7* nexus). Are you suggesting the rewards should be available to everyone who contributes toward the event, whether you spent 50 units or 50,000 units? This doesn’t seem right or rational.
The top rewards should have been behind a Solo event really. The way they have it structured won’t work out unless many more people are prepared to spend (which contradicts what Crashed claims they don’t want to do by “ creating an enormous gap between the big spenders and everyone else.”)
The looming issue is going to be that there are many people who have spent to reach their desired tier in the Realm event, now relying on people to continue to spend to open garbage crystals (for what purpose I don’t know) to help push the Realm totals up so the “spenders” can get the milestones Kabam has set out.
Unless the rewards for the crystals themselves were worth the 300 unit investment, why would people who have no shot at reaching the best tier rewards keep buying them?
This tiered **** is stupid. I've played this game casually for almost 10 years, played content and yes spent money. I shouldn't need a certain # of champs, be at the end game content, be in a alliance, spend money or anything other than earn the rewards. The only thing alliance should get rewards separately from others are for A.Q & A.W.. Why can't we send accolades without being in a alliance? We could do it last year.

100 percent agree. I love the concept of the Realm Event if it’s done in good faith. In this instance, I assumed the SBC crystals would have greater drop rates and be good enough to where people were excited to participate. I assumed Kabam would want us to reach those high milestones, especially with it being a celebratory occasion given the 10-year anniversary. But now I’m well over 20K units spent and due to the backlash, am at the mercy of others who didn’t (and won’t) put in as much as I did? We hit the first 22 milestones in Day 1 and only 3 since which suggests we aren’t getting those “juicy” rewards big spenders should already be entitled to.
Unless Kabam decides to do something, the Valiant players and whales are the biggest losers even though they’re primarily responsible for the rewards people did receive and keep the game going. It’s a disastrous scenario if Kabam doesn’t respond properly because I say to hell with me having the same rewards as someone who opened 1 SBC in a terribly constructed event.
Guys cool down. I believe Kabam will do something big and positive tomorrow to satisfy all of us when they open office.
This is exactly the problem. This vicious cycle of bad events then sugarcoat it with 'gifts' jig is up. There is no need for 'gifts' to placate the players if you get your events done right at least for a good majority of the player base.
Absolutely disappointed from this event. I opened close to 50 crystal and got absolutely nothing. The shard were simply **** there was some silver lining as I got some decent 7* but absolutely horrible event. Kabam needs to do something right to support their players as a result.
As many have said, the drop rates are awful, yes there is value in the milestones but the essence of the event is opening banquet crystals to get good things. If people see that the drop rates are poor then people won’t open crystals. The worst thing you could do would be to not guarantee all the realm event milestones to those that have the required points. That would just add insult to injury.
Clearly the best thing to do would be to fix the drop rates on the crystals but seeing as many people have already spent and opened crystals it would be a massive undertaking. Potentially compensation based on points spent but again that’s highly unlikely. I would say that Kabam could learn from this but that’s not a very satisfying resolution, game is 10 years old right, maybe the devs should have learnt by now how the playerbase thinks and adjust accordingly to both keep people playing and some spending.
Worst part now is that we all know the crystals suck, so the realm rewards just aren’t coming in. So much for that Isophene dupe.
So now as someone with over 23k points, I get the **** rewards from crystals and miss out on realm events because those rubbish crystals have discouraged others from opening.
Commercially, this event will be a disaster if Kabam don’t retrospectively fix the crystals and apply improved drop rates moving forward. We are so far off Kabam’s expectation it’s quite saddening. This should be a success for everyone.
Whomever chose these drop rates at Kabam needs to be pulled from future events, and whomever encouraged the live stream presenters to hype them up should also be retrained.
You know it’s bad when seatin comes back after a year and makes not one but two confrontational videos saying just how bad this banquet was. He even vouched for players who spent 6k+ units
It's not going to happen, can't see them actually making this up to anyone in any meaningful way but I don't think would be disproportionate to halve the crystal cost for the rest of the event and refund everyone half their units....
I suppose the odds were there...would be awful if we didn't hit the max milestone because everyone else was put off
I spent 34k units on these crystals and now I have a butt load of basic catalyst 47 to be exact but not enough class cats to do anything. My alliance stopped spending day one, so rank rewards are out, unfortunately and probably short sighted. You all need to stop worrying about the whale and f2p divide. Whales will be whales and the free to play know what they signed up for. These crystals should be fun and exciting and entice us to buy units to get more. Somewhere you all forgot that. And putting the “good” rewards in the milestones was just a bad idea and I have a hard time believing you all didn’t know that
This event was basically aimed at those that spend 15k units and those that spend 50 units. Anywhere in between you don't get value. The milestones rewards were good, the SBC left a sour taste in your mouth, and the realm event rewards seem out of reach considering most have already bought and opened all the SBCs they were going to and any extra SBCs don't have the rewards in them to warrant throwing away precious units at.
It was a poorly designed event. Not Grand by any means. Not even great. The best rewards are locked away in the upper milestones of realm event. Plus meeting all milestones in solo event isn't enough for the top milestones in realm. There is no point in buying more crystals once you have reached top solo milestones until realm catches up. But the realm won't catch up when everyone is holding back because of trash rewards in SBC.
P.S. Don't blame the devs. They are only doing what they are told to do. Blame those that told them what to do.
Kabam is literally the Bungie of the mobile gaming world. I don’t blame the devs at all, upper management most often restrains them to not produce the good content they want to as to “not over deliver” and set expectations high for future stuff
You know it’s bad when seatin comes back after a year and makes not one but two confrontational videos saying just how bad this banquet was. He even vouched for players who spent 6k+ units
You make out like 6k units is nothing just because you lot have no idea what the value of money to game is. I’ve got 20k unties sitting there, the event from top to bottom isn’t worth it. In a month or 2 time they’ll be handing out t4a for next to nothing, this is just one last cash grab on r3 before moving onto r4’s
So fun to think…. They way they will fix this… is by adding end milestones to an event forcing everyone to spend ….. kind of scummy in the grand scheme of…. Your all mad cus you spent and got junk… now spend for more junk
It is ridiculous to expect compensation. They only think about those who spend big money. The compensation awards prove what I said. They just make things worse and force people to spend more money and they win. This is the interesting part.

Right! Even the Valiant Solo milestones are ****. Not only do we have **** crystal drop rates, but **** milestones rewards too that we don't get a major benefit from. Where's the motivation to spend more?

I was saying 6k units is a lot. That’s what I invested. That’s all I had.

Grand banquet opening everywhere for everyone whenever you want " yeah baby, yeah !"😁
If this is true for you, please step away from the game. Not because of the event, do it for your mental health.
