**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event

100% agree with this. This is a very important question that has to be answered ASAP @Kabam Miike @Kabam Zibiit @Kabam Vydious
so would I, being at 54X0 already, i only need to feed a few sig stones but Kabam were not transparent and gave no warning
There is no reason they can give that would justify not adjusting brackets with an increase in prestige. If brackets are there to limit to fast of progression of smaller accounts then once their pointless cutoffs are passed you should now have the account strength that they've made and should be entitled to the appropriate rewards
Are you for real?? Not to overload newer players with champions and items they cant use???? Where was this when you decided to release more 5* under a yr span and then throwing 6* at us huh??? You dont care for new players as they willing to spend no more for us vets you like to ticks us off all the freaking time.
They unbalanced the game the moment more 5* were released and 6* were released all they doing is covering their lies with another lie in fact they lie so much they cant even tell the truth no more...makes me sick at how this company is now nothing but lies and greediness to line their pockets and cater to their spending overlord!!!
While the stated reason (gating player progression) is somewhat questionable in the first place, that reason doesn't even line up to where you've set the cutoffs.
Furthermore, you haven't said anything about whether changes in prestige during the event will allow players to climb into higher brackets. And even if they are allowed to climb, after doing the math, players in mid bracket would need to climb into top bracket... BY DAY 2 of the event in order to bump from being able to afford 2 five star crystals to being able to afford 3. And players in lower bracket need to climb into middle bracket by DAY 6 to jump from 1 to 2 five star crystals.
Not giving players any fair warning, and such a short time period in which to improve their situation (which is ludicrous in the first place) is really poor form. Disappointed yet again, you guys come up with some great ideas for new content, yet can't seem to get out of your own way.
I doubt anyone cares whether you had to make difficult rank up choices cuz we all are either going through that or we've been through that.
The main point is dungeon milestones should not be based on prestige. Crystals are based on prestige and that's fine cuz its understandable but milestones? Which you have to actually play hard for...skill actually doesn't and should not factor into milestones.
Imagine if arena milestones (in this case, I'll use the old arena where basic and featured heroes were coupled together) had extra milestones for top players based on prestige (which awards the same amount of units, shards etc as other milestones tho) and you aren't qualified. Would you be happy? Knowing fully well that you're perfectly capable of putting in time and getting those milestones
This makes sense... which makes me nervous it won’t be the case.
So i dont have good enough roaster to get 7.5k milestone 🤔🤔😊
Well yout prestige is probably very close to but not quite 5.5k which seems to be the cutoff.
Here is what around 5.4k looks like
What are your sig lvls and 5th champ,
Your SL prestige is so low its 4854, barely more than the high prestige duped 4* 5/50s (so effectively my medusa has higher prestige at 5117, cable has about 300 prestige on your beast aswell)
This is part of my point though, you get penalized because you do not follow the prestige rat race and play the game for fun with champs you actually like?
How is that fair?
Yet 300k total or 400k total and 4/55s + 6* dont make the cut? It is clearly just a sad attempt to promote fgmc and 5* shard deal purchases to hope for prestige pulls. It is too obvious when every new champ has high prestige and they changed the way 5* featureds work.
I am also a long time dedicated player that's been blindsided by this turn of events. I am Uncollected, and have 1 6* and 20 5* champs, I'm not the greatest player but I do alright. Apparently my prestige is around 5000, a detail that I had to rely on the ClanHQ app to calculate. I spend more than I probably should on the game, I'm no whale, but I am a paying customer and therefore I expect to be heard.
You've created a mode of gameplay that encourages players to utilize more of their rosters than their top champs, but then punish a good percentage of those loyal players by saying their top champs aren't good enough. I know a player in our junior alliance who is a champ seller, in the year I've known him, I've only ever known him to have at most 12 champs in his roster, his prestige may be high but his rating is not, he would struggle in this event because of his limited roster. He is not an endgame player in any stretch, but I feel it's worth bringing him up in order to prove a point. Which is it? Should we have big rosters or sacrifice the roster to focus all of our resources on a handful of champs?
I'm not saying "give me a 5* Awakening Gem Crystal..." none of us are... We're saying "Give us the opportunity to earn one for ourselves." Why should we even bother trying if it's clear on Day 1 that there's no chance for us to earn the resources we need to progress. For many of us, that 5* awakening gem is what we're waiting for in order to make the important decision of which champ to rank up.
You can dangle a carrot in front of a mule forever, but you have to feed it eventually or it will die.
There are different arenas for lower level players. That's why those cutoffs are so much lower for the newer players to get the new champs whereas the veteran arena has much higher cutoffs for the champs. You can make a good argument though for the milestones and not the crystal. I think that's a fair point to make.
And just to add to your initial wording, making tough rankup choices is part of the game. "Waiting for the right champ to rank up" is only a valid excuse for a few months. At some point, you just have to make that decision and do it. How long you wanna wait is up to you, but you can't be upset when you're left in the dust when you wait too long
Regarding arena, your right! This is a perfect example of how to do brackets the right way. There are different arenas for different players, but the key difference is ALL arenas are available to a new player, and it is the players goal to work toward betttwr and better arenas. If a new player wants to try his luck in the 4* arena he can, and if he really is good enough and dedicated enough he can do it. Sure his roster isn’t as big so he will need to wait allot more for refresh timers but at least he can try. Meanwhile with this event many people have rosters more then big enough for 7.5k and are locked out
