Is this deal exploration or completion? My alli teammates say completion, here's the thing it is a really good deal but I'm not planning on dropping 1k in a mobile game the same month they should've made the offer pop up after exploration not completion cause I would've held off on exploration and bought it next month but since it's completion and spring cleaning is starting soon I'm not buying it, bummer.
These are always completion deals no clue why they always say exploration
The intent was for the name to imply these deals were to help the player explore, not to reward the player for completing. The description of the offer further explains this: "a collection of items to aid your team in exploring Act 9 Chapter 2."
I get that but be better to just say completion offer of 9.2 so people know its a pop up when u first time it
When it comes to wording like this, there's rarely a universally understood version. You might think your way makes more sense, but there's tons of people who will see it in the exact opposite way.
Naa 15k units are gonna be more useful in upcoming events
I really don't think so. Maybe the cash sales will be good, but I don't think we're getting a unit deal for a Titan Nexus and an R4 gem. That's literally the highest prizes available in the game (with an AG being part of that group).
U can also i think keep the titan nexus to wait on a good titan rotation then open it
Yeah, it definitely resets. I do wonder how many eager beavers are rushing through 9.2 without knowing what an amazing deal is waiting for them upon completion and haven't saved up the units to buy it. It's going to be quite the dilemma for these eager beavers: letting the deal expire or buying overpriced units from the store.
My suspicion is most of the day one players know what they are doing. A few always get caught, but if you're a strong enough player to blitz 9.2 on day one, you've probably been around long enough to know that exploration offers exist.
The strength of the offers varies, but if you care at all it is worth waiting literally a few hours for someone to post about it and find out.
Wow! $500 for a 3-4 RU crystal. I'd rather wait for 7/4 deals.
Its not $500. People need to stop equating units to $$. (Also, your math is wrong. On the webstore you can get 14k units with $400. But you can get units for free, just a bit of grinding. And I already have those units. Now it's a question if the offer is worth the time invested to get them.

Glad someone else sees this nonsense for what it is. Basically, when there is a unit deal, and someone says "that's not worth $500", all that tells me is that this person can't obtain or hold onto units long enough to buy the great deals, so for them units always = cash. And why can't these people keep units long enough to get the great deals? Probably revive spamming through every little piece of content. This also explains the bitter jaded tone, e.g., "nothing in this game is worth spending money or units or time or phone battery life on." I'd be bitter too I guess if I was constantly failing....

It completion so wait to do it if you planned one buying
I have t4a expiring I need to go for completion asap or I'm gonna lose everything, can't really hold off unfortunately that's why I said sort of a bummer that this is for completion not exploration.
Nvm I won't be overflowing on them after spring cleaning, definitely not completing that last chapter until next month. I still think these offers should pop up after exploration not completion tho.

The 9.2 offer includes a Titan Nexus and an R4 gem—at a time when most non-whales only have two R4s max. By contrast, the 9.1 offer had a 7-star Nexus and an R3 gem, and people already had way more than two R3s at the time without spending.
So even assuming most eager beavers check Reddit or the forums with regularity (which I doubt, we're a small bunch overall), I wouldn’t blame them for diving in immediately without checking to see or expecting an offer this generous—previous ones, including 9.1, weren’t close.
Guys.... If you don't buy this absolute banger of the offer your life is over. Just uninstall and quit if you miss it.
Throw money or grind your life away in arenas. You don't want to skip it.
I appreciate the sarcasm but for the record, no one should grind their life away in arenas or spend cash.
Just hold off on doing 9.2.6 until you've saved up the units to buy the offer. Units really do add up quickly if you play the game; just autofighting the lower progression EQs is about 500 units. Arenas (other than the 4*) take about an hour to complete and give 300-400 units. It's not that difficult with a little patience and self-control (i.e., not wasting units on impulsive purchases/revives).
so this is the 9.2 unit deal, do you guys think this is worth waiting and buying? this isn't my screenshot so I think IF this is worth it I can complete it after I'm ready to buy it. Seems tempting af tho
Why would they release such a deal?
Probably because R4s will come relatively fast and it's a good option to monetize atm before there's too many R4s and it looses value.
I would strongly guess we'll be seeing many R4s on next sales as well because T7b fragments will be obtainable in SDE and they already exist in many areas of the game.

So my answer is no.
I know I'm posting a lot in this thread, but I really feel strongly that some bad-faith apples are trying to mislead people.
The real monetization push for R4s already happened, during the Banquet event where people spent $100K or whatever it was for their first R4s. That was Kabam's cash grab moment.
This 9.2 unit deal, by contrast, is practically a catch-up mechanic for non-whales who’ve been playing smart—stockpiling units, skipping impulse revives, and saving for a real offer.
This deal doesn't require cash, and people constantly framing it in those terms are showing their hand; I already explained who these people are. No, this unit deal is arguably one of the fairest high-end offers Kabam has put out. It's clearly designed with patient F2P (or light-spender) people in mind.
Before 9.2.6, there was still a divide between even the top non-spenders who had max two R4s and the whales who had 3+. Now non-whales will have 4, and even if the whales have 5 or 6 or more, the gap has become less relevant with higher numbers. Heck, now even players who couldn't get do EoP and the Ordeal and Carrinas will be able to get their first TWO R4s.
But I'm not surprised that the bitter apples can't even see a win for the common players when it's staring them in the face.

The problem is if youre a casual player that hoards units but doesn't spend heavy or do copious amounts of arena, then july 4 is going to have much better value , and its going to have an r4 gem as well.
Why spend units here when july 4 requires 36k units to unlock the final tier of the unit offers? And you cant say "this is permanent you can wait to complete it later" because then youre missing out on on catalysts to do a GENERIC r4 rank up

Every year we say July 4 and banquet is going to be better and every year it ends up disappointing. Even the last j4 was disappointing for most as there's no AG there but we got a 7* AG on Omega days event, banquet - do I even need to explain.
At some point you gotta spend, you can't keep on saving, and imo this deal might be better than the uncertain j4.

Oh believe me, banquet was one of the most overhyped and underdelivered events that we've ever had with how god awful those GGCs were (the livestream they hyped the rewards for it had to be the second worst live stream of all time, with the first being the obvious recent one where like 5 champs were behind a paywall)
Now with that said, i still think spending 15k units on banquet would have been more beneficial to somebody's account than this deal because of how good the champs like medusa sentinel deadpool etc were.
That pool of champs is honestly better than the Heart of Fire champs, and they wont ever come back until end of the year, whereas r4 mats would be way more available by then.

I can arguably say I'm patient, I have 7 Titans and 2 Titan nexus to open plus other 7* basics. I also have the units to purchase that 9.2 unit deal, don't spend on revives and I'm also F2P.
Regarding catch up mechanic against whales, it's simply not true because 1) Whales will also be able to buy that deal 2) There are far more spending offers for them overall 3) Top ranked players are now able to aquire more t7b from game mode rank rewards.
The decision whether the deal is valuable or not is based on players perspective. As far as how I see things, it's clear to me that r4s are going to come relatively fast which means they will also devalue fast. Next progression title will most likely come by the end of the year and T7CC will probably be the chase Item for banquet. The pace will go slower again for R5 acquisitions. I can't say I know this will happen for a fact however since I started playing this game I pay a lot of attention towards game economy and how things are being handled precisely because I try to maximize both my time and my resources.
Is it a bad deal? No Would I consider purchasing it? No
Unless your desperate for the rewards, possibly worth not completing 9.2 until the july 4th deals come out and you can do a head to head compare whats the better value. Personally, I always find july 4th underwhelming so I'd be suprised if it gets you even half a r4

Guys.... If you don't buy this absolute banger of the offer your life is over. Just uninstall and quit if you miss it.
Throw money or grind your life away in arenas. You don't want to skip it.
I appreciate the sarcasm but for the record, no one should grind their life away in arenas or spend cash.
Just hold off on doing 9.2.6 until you've saved up the units to buy the offer. Units really do add up quickly if you play the game; just autofighting the lower progression EQs is about 500 units. Arenas (other than the 4*) take about an hour to complete and give 300-400 units. It's not that difficult with a little patience and self-control (i.e., not wasting units on impulsive purchases/revives).
I have completely stopped doing arenas since October last year. I have 6k units. 2 offers I spent units on. - 750 unit relic AG February - 1000 unit TB EQ unit bundle. I did Ordeal, Epoch, 4 CCP challanges, 3 gauntlet run, 2 EOP runs. 2 necro challanges left, I don't have fam or odin/serp. Here's my backup stash.
Without arenas, I'm not going to reach 15k units anyway. By the time I reach 15k (if that happens) there will be better offers and the game would have progressed. I am never going to do arenas ever again. 150k arena fights are already under me stats.
I don't mean this as personal attack that some of us know what we are doing on how to maximise rewards in-game. Many of us have played this game for a lot longer and have a deeper understanding of what we want/need. My P3 alliance don't need 1 extra r4. My map668 AQ alliance don't need 1 extra r4 for prestige. My BG deck don't need 1 extra R4 to defeat whale noobs, the skilled whales are the real threat and those matches has been like that forever. Used to land m2, but not since October, when I stopped pushing. I have been all over arcane, gamma, uru, a rare quantum in between. I don't/can't push BGs tbh. Maybe someday I will. But most likely never again. The only catchup for most people in the game are missing deathless champs. Other catchups are not that important from what I have observed. Whales have 50 r3s. No f2p can catch up to that.
This is my f2p perspective who will never play arenas (outside the anniversary ones, they rock).
People who still do arenas and/or have units or they can re-stash units again for future offers, have to decide for themselves. The whales who know they will buy odins or namors in future, have to decide for themselves.
I don't care enough about it, playing the game on my terms. To nobody's surprise, it's going great.
Sure, it's a good offer, if I was as sweaty as before, I would maybe get it. But you'll live, if you skip it.
I feel like they are definitely counting on the FOMO on this one. I was seriously considering it, but then I realized (a) I already know I can complete 9.2 with my roster, (b) whatever r4 I get is get is going to be banned in BGs, (c) I’m in no rush whatsoever to get whatever progression title comes next because I haven’t received any sort of real value or deals for the last two progression titles, and (d) Kabam is a business so there will always be these types of deals.
If you want the offer, get it. If you don't, then don't. It holds a lot of current value. As with everything in this game, give it 3 months and you'll spend significantly less. Personally, I am not getting the offer. I've been out of the rat race that is MCOC's high end modes for a while, but if you're trying to bridge the gap to get you there, go for it. It's 2-3 months of grinding which isn't bad and way better than Bastion-only offer they had recently.
People usually say 4th of July is better, but that is in totality where you have to buy all the deals (30k+ unit spend). Are you the type of player who is usually able to buy all the 4th of July offers?
Because if not, you're probably spending 15k already on the lower tiers of 4th of July Offers for likely less valuable items. The R4 stuff is probably locked to the higher tiers of spending.
Personally, I have been underwhelmed by 4th of July sales since the good stuff is typically locked behind high spend. Past years I've typically just bought something that seems 'worth it' from the tier 1 or tier 2 levels, and called it a day. So for me, I anticipate that spending on Act 9.2 offer + July 4th tier 1 offer will get me better stuff than trying to save up and buy all the 4th of July offers.

The strength of the offers varies, but if you care at all it is worth waiting literally a few hours for someone to post about it and find out.
But you can get units for free, just a bit of grinding. And I already have those units. Now it's a question if the offer is worth the time invested to get them.
Basically, when there is a unit deal, and someone says "that's not worth $500", all that tells me is that this person can't obtain or hold onto units long enough to buy the great deals, so for them units always = cash.
And why can't these people keep units long enough to get the great deals?
Probably revive spamming through every little piece of content.
This also explains the bitter jaded tone, e.g., "nothing in this game is worth spending money or units or time or phone battery life on."
I'd be bitter too I guess if I was constantly failing....
By contrast, the 9.1 offer had a 7-star Nexus and an R3 gem, and people already had way more than two R3s at the time without spending.
So even assuming most eager beavers check Reddit or the forums with regularity (which I doubt, we're a small bunch overall), I wouldn’t blame them for diving in immediately without checking to see or expecting an offer this generous—previous ones, including 9.1, weren’t close.

**** deal for single r4 at 15k,
Big L, considering July-4 is going to be broken af,
Save up at least 20k units, it'll be account changing.

But I'm not surprised that the bitter apples can't even see a win for the common players when it's staring them in the face.
Why spend units here when july 4 requires 36k units to unlock the final tier of the unit offers? And you cant say "this is permanent you can wait to complete it later" because then youre missing out on on catalysts to do a GENERIC r4 rank up
At some point you gotta spend, you can't keep on saving, and imo this deal might be better than the uncertain j4.
Now with that said, i still think spending 15k units on banquet would have been more beneficial to somebody's account than this deal because of how good the champs like medusa sentinel deadpool etc were.
That pool of champs is honestly better than the Heart of Fire champs, and they wont ever come back until end of the year, whereas r4 mats would be way more available by then.
Regarding catch up mechanic against whales, it's simply not true because 1) Whales will also be able to buy that deal 2) There are far more spending offers for them overall 3) Top ranked players are now able to aquire more t7b from game mode rank rewards.
The decision whether the deal is valuable or not is based on players perspective. As far as how I see things, it's clear to me that r4s are going to come relatively fast which means they will also devalue fast. Next progression title will most likely come by the end of the year and T7CC will probably be the chase Item for banquet. The pace will go slower again for R5 acquisitions. I can't say I know this will happen for a fact however since I started playing this game I pay a lot of attention towards game economy and how things are being handled precisely because I try to maximize both my time and my resources.
Is it a bad deal? No
Would I consider purchasing it? No
Defo not worth it.
I have 6k units.
2 offers I spent units on.
- 750 unit relic AG February
- 1000 unit TB EQ unit bundle.
I did Ordeal, Epoch, 4 CCP challanges, 3 gauntlet run, 2 EOP runs. 2 necro challanges left, I don't have fam or odin/serp. Here's my backup stash.
Without arenas, I'm not going to reach 15k units anyway. By the time I reach 15k (if that happens) there will be better offers and the game would have progressed.
I am never going to do arenas ever again. 150k arena fights are already under me stats.
I don't mean this as personal attack that some of us know what we are doing on how to maximise rewards in-game. Many of us have played this game for a lot longer and have a deeper understanding of what we want/need.
My P3 alliance don't need 1 extra r4.
My map668 AQ alliance don't need 1 extra r4 for prestige.
My BG deck don't need 1 extra R4 to defeat whale noobs, the skilled whales are the real threat and those matches has been like that forever.
Used to land m2, but not since October, when I stopped pushing. I have been all over arcane, gamma, uru, a rare quantum in between. I don't/can't push BGs tbh. Maybe someday I will. But most likely never again.
The only catchup for most people in the game are missing deathless champs. Other catchups are not that important from what I have observed. Whales have 50 r3s. No f2p can catch up to that.
This is my f2p perspective who will never play arenas (outside the anniversary ones, they rock).
People who still do arenas and/or have units or they can re-stash units again for future offers, have to decide for themselves.
The whales who know they will buy odins or namors in future, have to decide for themselves.
I don't care enough about it, playing the game on my terms. To nobody's surprise, it's going great.
Sure, it's a good offer, if I was as sweaty as before, I would maybe get it.
But you'll live, if you skip it.
Because if not, you're probably spending 15k already on the lower tiers of 4th of July Offers for likely less valuable items. The R4 stuff is probably locked to the higher tiers of spending.
Personally, I have been underwhelmed by 4th of July sales since the good stuff is typically locked behind high spend. Past years I've typically just bought something that seems 'worth it' from the tier 1 or tier 2 levels, and called it a day. So for me, I anticipate that spending on Act 9.2 offer + July 4th tier 1 offer will get me better stuff than trying to save up and buy all the 4th of July offers.
But they did for whatever reason they have and that's fine for the financial health of Kabam
The value of a digital good is arbitrary
Like how 6* rank 4 used to be the highest, now it has zero value in end game
