I underestimated the amount of units required for the Isophyne milestone and had to do a lot of last minute unit grinding and after reaching the requirement a few days ago I took a break from grinding units. Now, with only a few days left the bar is raised and I don’t have time to grind enough units. Also, what about players who reached the milestone and decided additional SBCs were not worth the units and spent them elsewhere?
Kabaam this is like that person that offers you a ride and then keeps pulling the car forward when you get close. It’s not funny, it’s cruel, because you want to stop chasing the car but you still need a ride…
I'm just saying...
FOMO feels bad but it's literally their entire business model.
I interpreted that as they would add new milestones if we surpassed the max milestone which they have done in the past. Not as they would change the existing milestones.
Maybe for transparency in the future add a question mark like the one next to Isophyne on the milestones where they want to have the liberty to insert a surprise after the event is rolling or at least now there is precedent that this could happen again. Next year we can plan on needing 36k units instead of 12k…
I am so happy that I stopped at 7900 points 😊 meanwhile I completed 3 of 5 new necro carina challenges, tomorrow will be the next (out of this world).
This banquet event was a huge disappointment as others already stated. I will not contribute to this any further since everything has been said. They won’t change anything for this year.
My recommendation: take your hard earned units and get content done. It’s kinda fun to jump back into necropolis. Don’t pump further units into the “banquet” event.
do they really neeed 50 pages of people giving their in detailed 'feedback' for them to actually understand where they went wrong and to actually make an enjoyable event ???
The intent is not to understand but to let vent. They will probably glance through a few posts randomly picking through pages to get an idea of the issues faced after 6 months when they are planning for the next banquet. The Superior Banquet. Which will offer the Magnificent Banquet Crystals for Paragon up to the new progression level. Because last one offered GBC and this one is called Grand Banquet and offers SBC so the next will be called Superior Banquet.
Until then this will be bookmarked. In November 2025 we will hear a pitch for the new Banquet. In December 2025 we will get another thread. Just like this year and last year.

Thats if gets changed as its been only ever greater crystals the superior will now also just change but a new crystal wont be made when they normally just update the contents of the crystal
Kabam isn’t the problem. The real problem is whoever is holding guns to your heads forcing you to play and spend on this game. You must develop the courage to report these criminals to the proper authorities.
Honestly the more I think about it, the more I believe this event is great! The amount of 7 stars and rank up resources were awesome! Crashed was right about that. This definitely had more than Cyber Weekend.
The problem is that Kabam didn't curb the expectations. They didn't clarify what is what. This Banquet was all about Realm Event first. Solo and Alliance followed after. The opposite was stated by Kabam. The rewards were pretty good in milestones. Trash in crystals. We need clarity. Kabam listed every single attainable reward from the crystals without giving odds. Then bundled the same resource with different quantities together. That's trickery. This was not 50% fluff in crystals. This was 90% fluff. Not to mention, 2x 7 star sig stones and 1% T7BC are utter trash. You may as well not give me anything.
Then there were levels of "stretch" rewards. Kabam didn't want people to think Isophene wasn't the final reward even though they may - MAY - have known all along to introduce further Realm milestones. Again comes down to clarity. That Question Mark classifying everything beyond Isophene could have stayed where it was and it would be fine to know the rest is not expected to get as it's stretch. But revealing those new stretch milestones now only comes as a tactic to drain anything remaining from the player base.
Why not add extra milestones to the "solo" and "alliance" events?? That would really make people push a little more. The added milestones are PATHETIC. Did i say "PATETHIC"? I meant beyond pathetic.
Id say more strange at this point with them adding rewards on a weekend
I dunno, is it a new technology they are testing?... Is it them trying to prove a point that even if the crystals were bad people are opening more?... This is quite something...

Yeah also maybe new tech but why not tell us there testing something new like this, people will buy more since its rewards and well spenders getting those r4 7s

Yeah I would assume this was all programmed in if certain points milestones were achieved in order to hit another layer of FOMO spending.
From a kabam metrics, they will probably be really happy with the event. Despite 41 pages and counting of almost unanimous negativity towards the event, people are still opening up tonnes crystals.

Stop saying its 41 pages.. I have been trolling that fact cause people are being extremely unrealistic about the problem too... There is maybe 10 pages of realistic complaints at most, 10 of entitled people speaking nonsense and 20 of trolling.
There's about 5 days left in the Event. What response are people hoping for at this point?
I just want to know about the future of the game, This event is busted already and there is no fixing. I want to know if the game will keep on been focused on "closing the gap' and if future events will be as bad as this one.

So you're waiting for them to come out and say their intention is for unsuccessful Events?

And if valiant will have to share stuff with lower progressions as if so then we can make better judgement calls on pushing events or not

Well if you want to put my feelings in that way and make it about me? Yes. If you want to read the part where I want to know the focus on the future? No What I might consider unsuccessful for my account is not necessarily unsuccessful for the company is it?

Exactly, I just want to know if this game will be for me or not in the future. Pretty sure a lot of players feel the same way.
Honestly, I think the fundamental problem was the intention. It's good on paper to shift the Rewards to Event Milestones and Realm Event, but the vast majority of Players earned their Rewards through the Crystals and the Milestones were secondary, or only for those spending vast amounts of money. That changed the fundamental aspect of the Event that most people participated in. I also think there's an overemphasis on Realm Events now. It was widely successful the first time, but that was unique. We've seen struggling for motivation at every subsequent one after. I mean no offense to John and his ideas. I'm simply assessing post-mortem.

Literally im gonna low spend this year until i see good direction again as i think a lot of people hoped that this event be a good change due to the last year response and didnt live up to expectations due to progression bundling

Realm event was good when it was necro deaths since it never took budget but this time it felt like it did take from budget since rank rewards for certain % still has 6s

It over shadows the origin of this event. This was the most heavy monetized event in the game, there was absolute no limit to buy crystals as opposed to a limit of buying deals in 4/7 or CM. They picked the biggest spending event to "shorten the gap" and that even on paper is a bit ridiculous. Realm events, I don't even wanna get started. In a way "they listened" to us, we complained on the previous one about the first 10 milestones being **** (6* shards), they made milestone better or suitable to higher progression. In exchange the actual crystals are **** and some of the top milestones are horrible. I.E. a 7r2 gem ... So yeah I want to know if this game will be for me or not.

Realm wvent was good when it was necro deaths since it never took budget but this time it felt like it did take from budget since rank rewards for certain % still has 6s
1st realm event Necro was good cause it ONLY FOCUSED on 1 progression level. It was only Paragons. The moment they include all progressions and not tiered rewards it has been horrible. Funny thing is for the first 2, realm events do not play part on the reward budget; but on this horrendous Banquet "its part of the package". How convenient uh?

I thought when they first started these was suppose to be no budget taken it why they had insane necro rewards but mainly this time im only adding since its now a year ago since necro version of realm event, they made it part of budget instead of what it was suppose to be extra rewards for those that put the effort in. Also to note necro deaths wasnt u had to hit x deaths one LANE only u got all them.
