Act 5 Rewards - General Consensus

Just trying to get a read on what the community is thinking for those who have completed/explored Act 5 in the past or recently

I guess the pole closed? Lol

I don’t see what we wouldn’t get the rewards completing it years ago. We couldn’t use 6*s let alone 7*s, some bosses and nodes were nerfed.

Par for the course with Kabam not rewarding the players from which the game was built on.

Thanks Kabam!

I think Valiants complaining about this makes the complaint about rewards being outdated kinda lame lol...
There is like nothing you can't get or use really other than 1 or 2 things.
I’m about to do some r3s so I could for sure use the gold and iso. And I don’t have all the relics after opening hundreds, even the 4 stars. And who wouldn’t want 3k 7 star shards 🤷🏼‍♂️

Exactly.

And if those dissenting argue “who really needs those rewards if they’re already advanced in account,” then it shouldn’t mean anything to give them out either.

Have you seen the amount of iso in it? ISO is helpful for endgame players.

I'm sorry if you're an endgame player there is no way you're low on iso if you do content constantly. I'm currently sitting on 2k iso on overflow and I had zero last month when I came back from a five month break.

From an alliance mate. Show me one person at any level that wouldn't want these rewards.
As far as fairness I can tell you not just in the nerf to act 5 but people that did it originally did it with 4&5* champs.

Right here I don’t want the rewards as nothing there with (maybe) the exception of the gold adds value to my account just more shards on top of the 200k shards I have now, iso that’ll expire before i can use, etc, etc.

At no progression is tier3A t6B, 7* shards and gold not valuable.

Yeah, guess my 20+ r3s and consistent M1 battleground placements were a fable. I guess you guys just have infinite t3A, t6B, and iso my mistake

I literally came back a month ago after a five month break and I can prove it with screenshots, it's not that it's fable you simply must be doing something wrong if you're this low on gold and iso.

This is an absolutely baffling decision made by Kabam. Especially considering they're literally in the middle of being seen largely out of touch by large swaths of their player base.

This just feels like yet another "oh, of course they did" moment that leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Step 1: make content easier than it's ever been. Step 2: buff rewards for the now much easier content to an insane level. Step 3: shut out any of the veteran players, many of whom actually had to struggle through that content.

I'm sorry, but those buffed rewards are an absolutely insane thing to give out to newer players, who have no real concept of resource management and even more so after these act 5 exploration rewards. These are account-changing rewards at that level, and yet they are also still massively useful at end game players levels too. And just absolutely piss off Paragon and Valiant players and long-time players who are already really, really frustrated with the game as it stands right now.

This is embarrassing.

This is nothing new for kabam any time they have updated the older act rewards they have always had that 90 day thresh hold they didnt updated it for veteran players they updated it for the newer players to help lvl out the playing field would i have loved these updated rewards yes but im not going to complain about it

Just trying to get a read on what the community is thinking for those who have completed/explored Act 5 in the past or recently

I am in the range of having passed the act in the 90-day time, I just saw how the others received their "compensation" apart from enduring bugs, the fall last year that lasted a week without playing feat, and the little interest of kabam to improve prizes ... @kabamdork I don't know .. this really does not encourage to continue investing in the game, it discourages, it disappoints

This is a dramatic response for what they've ALWAYS done in the case of these Reward increases.
Do you ever get tired of being the ONE dissenting opinion. Why can't you just *ever* find the value in a massive portion of the player base being upset right now? Do you *ever* stop to just think maybe we're justifiably disappointed and angry at this game we invest so much time, resources, and for some money as well?
I don't find the value of complaining unduly, no. There's no logical reason why people should be upset about this. Everytime they've increased Rewards, they've given them to people who completed it within the 90-day period. These Rewards are intended for a very specific demographic because they're appropriated for Players at that level. Just because people are upset because of a myriad of issues piled up into a list doesn't mean that changes the fact that they're not intended for them.
When we did Act 5, we were awarded appropriately for where the game was at that time. The game has evolved since then. We don't need to turn everything into a protest about how unhappy people are right now

I had a big breakthrough in Act 5 in January of this year and finished it in February, but you saying that it's not logical to complain, after the last compensation of only 7 resurrectors 😒 the last actions of Kabam and the little interest in renewing the prizes of some missions, which could be better, are drops that are filling the glass to several players, whether those who put money in and those who don't

If you finished it in February, then you're eligible. Why would I argue against your concern?

JK_47

Why wouldn't someone want this?
7* shards and gold is something I wouldn't say no to

It's not like we are asking for handout, we deserve because we explored it with lower rarity and higher difficulty

I agree this rewards wouldn't make much difference, so If anything people who explored it years ago should be getting 5X of buffed rewards

I just want to point out. I don't have an iso issue. I have like 100 6 star crystals and more to open for that but don't need iso atm due to overflow

@kabam said screw the older players. You don’t matter.

I mean, people like me, who advance three titles of progression? And if I did it in 91 days, 92? I bought my Challenger's Stamp, one or another offer, because the game was entertaining, but now? Prizes for the newest accounts? The bugs in almost all the content, the bugs in the characters? @kabamdork what a way to incentivize players, check my account, and this is disappointing, I think it's the biggest sign to join the boycott

Kurosaki_Ichigo

Give the new rewards for the players who already made that challenge its just correct and fair and a way to say thanks to those who suport this game for over then 10 years!!!

If you did it in 91 or 92 days, then you wouldn't be eligible. That's how it works. They have to draw a line somewhere. As for prizes for new Accounts, that's been a thing as long as the game has existed. You always incentivize new people. That's not really what this is about. It's about updating the content to reflect the current meta and the pace that new people need to grow to merge into the rest of the game.

To me, the update to rewards just feels silly, due to not only the now easier difficulty of act 5, but also in comparison to things like act 6 or 7.

I recently decided to push act 6 for 100%, cause I needed the resources. I made a plan to push act 6, so then I could do act 7 100%, and then act 8 100%, so that my next runs could be atleast partially easier, as I don't have that varied of a roster.
The next day, they buffed the rewards for act 5 and they gave it only to people that completed it 90 days ago. That means that if Kabam won't buff the act 6 rewards in the next 90 or so days, then I'm pretty much screwed and have wasted my time. Bad luck on my part, I know, but the whole situation puts me at a choke hold pretty much.
Should I even bother with act 7 if "maybe" the rewards will be buffed in a year or so? Should I wait to do pretty much the only content in the game that is somewhat enjoyable for me and can still help my account?
I did act 8. I did Necropolis. And I could still use all that ISO and gold, even the 6* nexus crystals. Sometimes it feels like the in-between players are just completely ignored by Kabam, as I still wouldn't consider myself an end-game player, even though I have been playing (rather casually) since 2015.
