I dunno call me crazy, got 900 units as compensation; but it seems like I could have gotten better or more needed things from the event and the store than "900 units" worth of stuff...
With the new (old) inventory levels I am now losing Boosts, Potions, and Revives because I can't use them fast enough to get below the current inventory thresholds. @KabamPinwheel will there also be compensation for the Energy refills, Catalysts, Boosts, Potions, and Revives Sigil players are losing with the modified inventory levels?

All they had to do was increase the inventory limits for everyone after they removed the sigil or remove the sigil the day before the new release. Instead the fumble the ball yet again because they don't consult the CCP before doing anything. It's quite embarrassing at this point. 10 years in and they still keep doing this stuff.
There’s a noticeable stagger debuff applied to summers that put in the time, effort, and often $ to become Valiant. Why not entice us to participate with rewards and opportunities for our progression level? It is like being graded on a curve where the extra credit is only applicable to fledgling and moderately developed accounts.
@KabamPinwheel Just wanted to drop a note to see if there's time to add a trade-in option for T4B Alloys.
I currently have 5 T3B Alloys in overflow getting ready to expire, and I literally can't use them on anything. Every 3, 4, and 5 star relic is at max rank, and every 6* relic is at least r2. And I'm not missing any relics, so it's not like I'm going to suddenly pull a relic and need to rank it up.
This could genuinely add a bit of value to the store, since currently, the only way to get t4b alloys is through the BG store, and frankly, they're priced pretty outrageously.
Just a thought on a way to add some value to a store that is currently very underwhelming.
I am upset with all the resources that I am having to sell now as my inventory caps have been lowered, I don’t get why they couldn’t have done a better job on how they planned for this. Putting everyone off for 2 weeks on the items I now can’t buy at the signal store and the iso, potions and embers I now have to sell because of this crappy plan. I am probably not going to renew my subscription to the sigil which I have been paying for monthly since it launched. This has put a bad taste in my mouth and probably put me over the edge to just spend my money on other games going forward….just think this whole thing feels like a slap in the face
Why is there such a deafening silence on this? I think many of us myself included would have though twice about purchasing in January had the information available to us explicitly stated this would happen 2 weeks before the new launch date. Sort it out Kabam. Banquet, raid revives, sigil - is this the new strategy to make things so dire that anything new is seen in a better light?
Unfortunately it was announced somewhere the sigil would be turn off for 2 weeks....
This is why Kabam doesn’t think and they lose players. It’s off now and can’t renew. My sigil expired. Now I have stuff going to expire. I know they won’t reply to this because they really don’t care, but I’ll just spend less because they really don’t think. Not the brightest
You don't have anything that will expire, the stash limit didn't change....
It changed. My tier 1 is 19/15 meaning it maxed at 19 before now 15
Looks like the change was delayed because it didn't change at first. But either way, those 4 over the limit aren't going to expire. They stay there until you use them. Anything that expires in the next 2 weeks will only expire because you didn't use it, not because inventory caps reduced. Everything of decent value has at least a 14 day expiration timer and we're less than 14 days from the sigil returning. It'll be okay.
Right. It's going to expire because I haven't used it. The point being missed as others have pointed out is I don't have to only use one boost for an item to go from overflow to inventory; I have to use many now to get my number below the "new/temporarily lower" limit to claim the expiring resources. So yes, I'm losing items or wasting them so to speak because of this.

I can't imagine that the inventory and stash situation didn't come up when they were finalizing this move. Why is everything implemented so poorly lately? It's like every annoying consequence that any noob could have anticipated is coming as a total shock to Kabam. What's their excuse?
I don't think I have received any compensation yet but wanted to say if you're compensating for arena express mode (which is good btw so thank you) then there are a ton of other items and things that are not being taken into account.
There were things like test of the valiant potions, revives, embers, shards etc. I paid for something that was taken down and as others said here it was the perfect time to advertise arena express to everyone for free. Compensate people that bought the sigil maybe so they don't feel hard done by, but mostly gain yourself (Kabam( and the community some much needed positivity, especially after the negativity around Banquet.
I mean I honestly didn't know they were changing on the 13th and bought a new subscription right before that. Maybe same day actually. Leaving like 32 days left. Which bracket am I going to be in? Is it 32 days (I think) because it was on the 13th or is it 32 - 14 days which is a lower bracket. It shouldn't be the latter, as that's really unfair and I'd be very annoyed about that.
However, there are still like 7 star shards, relic shards, embers, potions, sigil credits, iso and sig stones that aren't being addressed, plus can't turn anything into any other shards anymore. That was one really good part of the black iso market. 11k shards for a 6* featured was pretty decent but now it's going to 50k? Why? That's ridiculous. And id that even a featured crystal? 7 star one wants 150k 6* shards. Honestly though having just bought the sigil right as it ended it seems like a double whammy of bad to me.
Btw, I didn't get banquet rewards mailed to me and not checked if I got the notification about the sigil change, so maybe some part is my fault (if I even got the message) but why didn't they remove access to buying it again if that was the case? All I heard was that a change was happening on the 27th. Nothing about the 13th. Could at least have had a game pop up menu or something idk.
There are some positives about the changes but also a lot of negatives. Time to save for food items are like 10 months +, the shards can't be changed any more to other shards, which was something I liked, the colossal price increase of shards for crystals is unwarranted. I don't want this game to fail, but some of the stuff is just making me face palm. Not to mention I'm losing other stuff like sigil potions and other things that can be traded every so often. I think the compensation should be more to be honest but at least grateful that there is some compensation available but only after people kicked up a a fuss about arena express. Well there's far more than that to the sigil.
Even gold will be less with no weekly summoner sigil goldpool. Nice that they added a daily but also takes more energy and more time. Maybe that was being retired anyway but I heard it wasn't for a while (maybe 27th). That's another big W though for the community so there are things Kabam are doing that are good but some I'm questioning. Hope I get reasonable compensation anyway, but feels kinda bad this one. I mean they did that deal as well with the t6b and T3a that was decent for valiants, although the t6cc are hard to come by ime. That was pretty great for Kabam, and this could have been really good had there been arena express available to everyone.
Unless they're going to do an introductory offer or something. That would be cool. I doubt it but maybe that could be a way to drum up interest. Free trial to everyone? Doubt it but if you want more customers give them a taste of your product, then if you want to keep them, reward their loyalty. Sorry for the long winded post but I felt I needed to say some things. Haven't been here long.
