Isn't there another giant thread where people are complaining about the exact opposite issue, i.e., that the game doesn't account for the specific high-end needs of valiants and instead offers them the same rewards as lower progression players?
Possibly, what that thread has to do with this one, however I’m not sure.
Well if you put the two opposite demands together, you get this: "As Valiants, we want all of the rewards that are offered to lower progression players, but also valuable high-end rewards that are not available to lower progression players. Basically, we want everything."
So? What’s the problem? We have access to earlier story chapters, lower difficulties, lower level side quests, etc. It’s our choice to complete that content if we want those rewards, only thing that we have no option to get is t1 dust

Cool, im not making the aforementioned demand though, I just want my T1 Dust.
The other valiants who are arguing about things they want that are high value don’t speak for me, my man.
Criticising my thread because of the demands of others isn’t fair.
I wouldn't say I was "criticizing" your thread. Just thinking about the overall picture and the combination of what Kabam hears from this forum. Also, as a Valiant myself, I'm not opposed to getting everything, both lower progression rewards and unique high-end stuff. But it might end up being overwhelming if everything was piled into the game for us like that. It's already pretty cluttered looking for stuff.
I’ve been sitting on 50 tier 1 dust for I can’t even remember how long waiting, for the opportunity to ascend another 5 star and it does feel like that’s never going to happen at this point and that’s… disappointing
Also: You know what is kinda weird, as an underlying factor?
Now, don’t get me wrong: I am NOT saying this should change. It’s the way the game is built. We all know how it works. I am NOT complaining about what I am about to say:
But what is weird about it — to me, to be clear — is that if you’re Paragon/Valiant, you’re still opening crystals with 4/5 stars in them.
Before someone jumps down my throat: I am NOT saying that should change. Paragon and Valiant crystals are totally fine and changing those would break the game economy, and I understand that.
What I am saying is this: If you give some Paragon/Valiant players 4-stars and 5-stars, SOME OF US are actually going to use them.
We’re going to test them. Mess around with them. See what the Sig ability looks like, how it scales.
My point being: 4-stars and 5-stars are part of the game. We still get them as part of the game — and AGAIN, I am NOT saying that should change. The game has worked the way it does for a long time. I am not complaining about that.
All some of us are saying is that because we do get 4/5-stars as part of the game, we just would like the ability to ascend them on at least some kind of predictable basis that we can see and earn, in-game.
That’s all — I am not saying it has to be 10,000 T1 dust every month. I don’t think anyone is saying that.
It’s just when it’s zero, again, it’s just hard to understand why it has to be “zero.”

Right? What if someone wanted to ascend their Stark Spidey for the Carina's challenges and just... haven't been able to do so for months.
That’s why I’m rallying pretty hard for this, I’ve even asked support and they asked me questions about where exactly in the game should they distribute t1 dust and I suggested if there is some kind of selector we get as a reward from side quest that lets us choose lesser tier rewards, that would be great.
Or even as a path reward on a lower threat level quest.
Love the call out here! It would be great to see more ascension dust overall in the game. It seems to be easier to R3 7*s than to ascend 5* or 6* for Valiant. Seems to be counter-intuitive to all of the work that was partaken in creating/developing the ascension process.
Even if we can’t or won’t get more of the lower level resources, it would be nice to understand why.
If there is no plan to allow us to ascend all of our low level characters, than please revisit the visual system. For completionists, it is terribly bothersome to see so many people that are no longer maxed out because they need to be ascended, but then there is not a reasonable method to acquire the necessary materials to ascend them.
Please just give us our stars back if we can’t get dust regularly.
Yeah I never had the opportunity to take Starky to max rank for the CCP challenge and no way I’m doing that challenge without him max and sig 200 - which is why it would be nice to have the 5 star sig stones back SOMEWHERE
Bruh, let it go. If you need to run the Carinas Stark Spidey challenge, just run some boosts.
And as for Ascending 4 star characters to try and cheese arena, that’s cheating and I’m sure any Kabam mod or admin will back me up on that.
I'd like to ascend my SS AND run the boosts haha.
If you can get an admin to even look at this thread I will be amazed, I tried tagging them and they ignored me, but support listened and said they would pass my request onto the game team directly, that's why support are the best.
Not sure how it's cheating, sure it makes summoner trials arena a bit faster but it still takes many hours to get the milestones.

Lol what? Cheating? How is using an in-game feature cheating? By that logic, using 6r5a champs in the featured arena is also cheating?or their equivalent 7r2. And God forbid I use my 7r3's to cheese and cheat in the featured arena. Nobody at Kabam is backing you up on that buddy.

No it isn't
Kabam may prefer that it wasn't happening; but there's a lot of distance between "something Kabam would rather people don't do" and "something which is cheating".

Now I want to upgrade some 4* and be rebellious against kabam. 😐😐
