I would like to know this as well, i feel like i got shafted, i sent in a ticket, but you never know how that goes... if kabam says how it will be dealt with here we should know everyone will get the same fair treatment. @Kabam Miike
I would even be fine if they took the 6* i got and gave shards to try again. 5 months of saving just to not even be able to get the 6* champion i wanted is not ok.
If it turns out it was just an error on the spin and the champs were in the crystal, so be it. Mine broke on Daredevil and I respun and got Gamora...so both rubbish lol
the reel is all just for show
I've seen sabretooth, cap iw, glaive and imiw already
Its when you press either open och add the crystal to the spin when the loot is determined tho isnt it?
Actually im pretty sure it is. I remember spinning a crystal before, right when it stopped on a champ the game got emergency DC and when it got back up the crystal opening didnt go through. When i popped the 2nd time i got another champ than the first.
That's true, but if the error being described is due to the reward table being bugged or incorrect, then the spin malfunction could still be a symptom of a genuine error where people are not getting what they are supposed to be getting.
For example, if one of the champions in the reward table has a bugged entry that is somehow incorrect, then when the PRNG selects it, the game goes to retrieve that reward and discovers it cannot because of the bug, and then the spin malfunctions and the player is forced to spin again.
The specific champion shown in the reel are meaningless, but the fact that the spin cannot complete without an error isn't meaningless. It might mean certain champs can't drop. You can't be certain which ones from the visible reel, though.
pretty sure it is determined the second you put it on the reel or press the open button, not when it is bought.
@Kabam Miike please confirm this on how crystal are opened
have the people who already bought bugged crystal and tried opening it, has the champion already been chosen?
I've seen several videos & posts now of people opening this crystal...how come it isn't showing up for me?

It is determined not when put on the reel or when spinning but when you tap to slow it down or it “time’s out” and slows down itself. Although this is due to making an assumption. When you spin the crystal you can force close or the game can shut down due to maintenance and you get that crystal back. If you tap it to slow it down and the game force closes, you do not get that crystal back. The assumption being that both scenarios yield two different champs.
Champ/reward is determined at the moment you press open or put the crystal into the spinner, not when you purchase the crystal. If you purchased the bugged crystal and Kabam fixes the problem on their end, you should be fine.
It is decided as soon as you drop it in the spin. Your alliance mates can see what you get before you do that way
See post above yours LOL. It is as soon as you tap the crystal or.... when you plan to let it spin out > it is determined when it self "clicks" and starts to slow down.
Check yourself before you embarrass yourself with wrong info
If that is the case, then you should be able to drop it into the spin, then go out to your alliance feed to see who you are going to get without opening it, and then pop it for confirmation at a much later time.
I thought it was determined as soon as you drop the crystal into the spinner as well, but I just tested and @vinniegainz is right it's as soon as the crystal is clicked while spinning. Popped a 4* crystal in the reel and force closed while it was spinning, it didn't open the crystal.
I feel embarrassed for you once again SEE VIDEO ABOVE YOU POST. Some people are just that dense I guess

Yep exactly the case, to humor @Appleisgod I just tested with my alliance mates, put a 3* in the spinner, didnt click open or let it "self spin", force closed, nothing in alliance feed and I retained my crystal.
@Appleisgod embarrassed yet? Check yourself cause you just wrecked yourself...
Ya thats why it is really odd that with footage I have seen, the error message does not show up until one clicks the crystal or it self-clicks from spinning out.
Definitely an issue with the actual selection of the champ.
