Mike. While this may help "rookie" summoners, it will not help veterans. Because of AW Seasons, Player progression has completely shifted from AQ to AW. It makes me wonder whether anybody in Kabam actually know what we're talking about here...
We've just posted an Announcement on an exciting new feature coming to The Contest next week! Find out what you need to know about Peak Milestones in our post here, and then ask your questions!
So to confirm, we won’t get any rewards until the event ends? So for AQ for example, we’re not getting any glory or map crystals day by day anymore?
Also can you show some examples of non-AQ related events with peak milestones?
This is correct. While you won't be collecting small rewards along the way anymore, you will get a much bigger payout at the end of the event.
I will talk to the team about getting some Non-Alliance Quest examples, because we do have some of those coming too.
I guess I'm a little confused as why you would take this away. By taking milestones away(in regards to alliance quest) you take away glory you get throughout the week. I'm curious as to why and how you thought this would benefit players?
We know that waiting for your rewards isn't the best, but you'll getting a lot more for the same work. Yes, you're gonna have to wait, but now the Milestone rewards that you receive will be able to be more targeted to different levels of Player progression.
Wow underwhelming. But good to see you are making sure the whales get at least 2 t2a a month while the middle class will only take 9 months to get 1. Solid thinking. How about you scrap AQ give the 1-30 a bunch a t2a and we move on. Or you could do some new content like 5v5 AQ like dungeons. Fresh thinking would be cool.
@Kabam Mike are the gold and battle chips for exploration and conqueror rewards in map 1 and map 2 getting increased
They are not. I am going to rewrite that part, but what it means is that you only have to beat the Boss now to get a Map 1 or Map 2 crystal from those Maps, as opposed to having to fully explore it.
Most of us buy a single L4 health potion daily to cut cost of the glory. Taking those milestone rewards away it delays that process of buying them daily. Running AQ fuels the War attacking is how I look at it. It would take several weeks in order to buy the daily L4 potion to use up the glory that some of us intend to use it on. This will cause more people to have to use units for the short term health potion buying. Am I wrong with this? I would rather have a little bit of rewards throughout the AQ week than wait till the end then have to spend more glory on health potions at one time because I may need them at the time. Was this the reason for the Peak Milestones? My thoughts are instantly going negative because of the mistrust and feedback that we get already. I see nothing positive in this
Hey All, I'm going to combine the Peak Milestones and Alliance Quest Discussion Threads, as it seems that most of these questions are pertaining to both of them.
For all that is holy, you need to take your players serious. Not giving out t1a to the top 1-250 is a joke. I need t4cc like a hole in the head. You should consider at least adding in 3 t1a to AQ rank rewards
Not yet! We know that this has been a (very) long season, but we're still working on our next one! Unless something changes (which it totally could) we're currently planning the next season to start in about 3-4 months
Ok, let me highlight a part of this reply that I consider truly important. Communicating "3-4 months" time frame goes a long way in helping alliances plan out their progression and is something community is looking for from Kabam. Please keep this up and give us some level of visibility into your roadmap. Thanks
From this response, the assumption is made that you do not play competitively in AW (Plat 3 - Master). More glory is nice, but we need a reduction in the cost of alliance potions and revives.
Please lower the cost of L3 and L4 potions since AW is the focus now... especially with a long wait until the next AQ season.
So, while we didn't lower the Cost of Alliance Potions themselves, we are giving you more Glory, and you can use that to purchase Alliance Potions if you wish. I know this isn't exactly the same. Personally, I prefer to use my Glory on Rank Up Materials, but the choice is always yours.
So rather than just increasing amount of glory in the milestones, you take away all milestones within the week, which takes my ability to use glory gotten within the aq event to buy potions for war?? This implies the necessity to buy potions with units (in cases of unforeseen circumstances) simply put, more spending...
Sure the peak milestone rewards is more. Its heavily disadvantageous. Mostly to F2P players
Will there be any changes to map 6 in terms of rewards for completion (will there be return of battle chips and gold as in quests such as map 5)?
Also, will there be a cap on the amount of glory one can accrue over a number of alliance quests? If so, what will that be?
We don't have any plans to adjust the rewards for completion of Map 6 right now, but this is something that I will talk to the team about for our next season, as we are working on that right now.
There is a cap for Glory that has not changed since it was introduced, which is 15,000
So let me get this straight you just made war harder by adding 5 mini bosses and then in Aq we can't collect any glory until the end of it which is what most of us peeons use to by our war potions with...am I reading this correctly? And also we used to get 15 plus milestone rewards and from what I'm reading we aren't getting near the rewards we were so please elaborate on all this.

Please clarify. What is "a lot more" in terms of rewards? We've heard that before and rewards were only increased a very small amount. The special gold member arena is a recent example of this.

These changes will take effect with the Alliance Quest that starts on July 7th!
Yes! Peak Milestones will be replacing Milestones. You will still get Rank Rewards, and Peak Milestone rewards.

thanks.

This.
