**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

Gold realm every 4th week of month

@Kabam Miike

Can we please get a gold realm on a consistent basis? I've run and beat every content and all arena milestones for the most part, and still don't have enough to rank any high champs but once a month. Not enough gold.

There's also not enough options for gold besides quests. Cashing in arena crystals for gold is always underwhelming. Same thing goes for gold crystals. 99/100 it's 2400 gold. Not nearly enough to keep me interested in my champs and their rank ups. Can you update the rewards to match current 4* and 5* rank ups? I honestly don't think they've been update for over a year now.

Insert a gold realm week. Not even asking to have it run daily. Although, most people would love you for it. You can promote it 1 week before the new EQ month, or the week it debuts. It doesn't really matter.

    That's a magnificent idea, but how can Kabam get more money if they do that?I don't think Kabam will make it that often

    Kabam relies on the whales who purchase units to buy the gold crystals for 20 units each, because they are the guys who really need the gold to upgrade their numerous champs, so I've heard. Having a regular gold quest is a great idea, but I'm pretty sure this won't happen; make the most of the quests whey they do appear.

    I doubt the big spenders are dropping units on gold crystals, they are dropping them on refreshes in arena, and cashing in the boatloads of battlechips they get from grinding 16m+ for new featured champs. I generally do 100k chips of crystals (50) at a time, and pull 150-200k gold, without doing more than hitting all Basic arena milestones plus 150k extra points, and 1.5-2m in Featured, so half to less than half of milestones. Average 3m gold in holdings, but I only level champs I intend to use, not just anyone.

    You get enough gold by doing arena. If you can do the quest then you have time to grind arenas

    Nope, the "whales" (who get their units from arena and BC's) have like 16-20 million gold. And who in their right mind would spend units on gold crystals?

    I run arenas and have plenty of gold. Whales buy gold crystals made me laugh. Forget the gold realm. Give me something to spend gold on. 39 million and nothing to do with it. Everyone wants the easy way to do things. Go grind arenas for bc to get gold. I've never done gold realm and was able to get it done.

    That was my same response when I heard this a while ago. Maybe most whales are not starving of gold again because of the 3 times the gold quests have run in the game, but I'm sure it was a struggle in the past for some to get the required gold to rank up 5*s if they didn't do enough arenas. I"ve seen Seatin mention as much in some videos and credits the gold realms for bumping up his stash of gold. I'm no whale and I'm sitting on 6 million thanks mainly to arena and gold quests, but relying on getting enough gold from arenas alone to rank up champs is challenging as it is. And Kabam is always looking to find ways to milk its playerbase, so I can't see gold realms coming back in a hurry. Hope they do though.
  • Thanks for the suggestion Ponyboy.

    I'll pass this along to the team, but I can't make any promises. I'm also going to move this to the correct Sub-Forum.

    The fact you used Seatin as a source makes your point even more invalid. I spoke with Lord Havok a year ago before Gold realms and he said that people grind so much arena that they can afford Map 6 on their own, and Gold crystals only give like 2400 on average so using units on that is a waste of resources and time

    I would say make an "event" similar to alpha and t4b event where you have to pay 15k bcs to enter. They could make a unit fee or even bc. Just a thought

    Yeah I used a YouTuber as a reference , one who is one of the more recognizable names in the MCoC community, has thousands of subscribers, is in one of the top alliances and despite being kinda of a scrub player, makes a lot of content that are actually useful to parts of the playerbase. As opposed to...who? Sorry I've been playing for just under a year so I have no idea who Lord Havok. Apologies for my ignorance if he is/was a top player himself.

    Suit yourself then mate.

    I do arenas too. On average I'll do 600k. 150k at the very least. But the pay out on the arena chips isn't enough.

    Gold realm request was just to give more options. If you don't need to run them, then don't. I left it as a like an "upgrade week" for new champs, or whatever promotional phrase you want to call it. I'm kinda surprised at the opposition towards the idea.

    Thanks @Kabam Miike
  • Obviously a gold realm is going to be targeted toward newer players who don't have many champions to grind arena, i.e. inf. streak, and the only way to consistently grind arenas is with multiple 3/30s 4* or 4/40 3*. I'm in the boat of having alot of rank 1 and 2s because of the gold bottleneck.

    Regular gold realms would be great, won't happen though

    A better fix would be more gold for each event, raise it by 25% and people should have enough. Again won't happen

    This is a money stream for Kabam, and they won't want to affect that. Nor should they, they are here to make money, this is a business. But it would be nice

    To the others saying grind arenas more, some people can't due to work, kids, RL etc. Just because you have the time to do this doesn't mean they are wrong for not having the time. Some would say the fact that they have less game time because they have more RL means they are actually the lucky ones, and the ones that have nothing in RL so have tonnes of game time are the ones to really pity. Haters got to be hating though, haven't you guys?
