    Why is everyone referring today as Christmas. Today is the 24th.

    Last year we got an in game message for the tickets we all are hoping for (and some expecting). It was never apart of the calendar.

    Sure today’s calendar question mark is pretty sour, but stop saying it’s a Christmas gift from kabam. It ain’t Christmas and it was never apart of the calendar.

    I’ll be putting them on blast tomorrow with you but I’m not jumping the gun yet

    Y’all are like Scrooge before he was visited by the spirits. Absolutely unreal that you would build-up a mystery item, only to essentially spit in our faces. I had zero expectations from this item, and yet somehow I still sit here totally underwhelmed again by the almighty Kabam. How do you sleep at night knowning that you are basically trolling loyal followers on the night before Christmas. Shame on you!

    The calendars really took a step back from last year. Oh well 365 days left to see the same rewards next year.

    hear that kabam? the people who didnt read the ingame mail are mad that they got 5 lesser gifting crystals despite being told about it in the mail. cant believe youd pull a fast one on us like that, getting everyones hopes up and then shooting them down.
    When we’re we told about it, do you have a screenshot. Can’t believe myself, my alliance and the community missed it

    nah i cant go back to find it. the "read" section was filled with recieved gifts so they deleted some messages automatically.

    Convenient, because im looking back at my Alt, and unless they posted it mid november, there aint jack about it.

    i know right? super convenient that i cant find it.
    That’s ok I have it for you.

    Same gift as last year, btw. There was also a thread on it. https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/110001/mail-says-gifting-crystal-on-the-december-calendar#latest

    Thanks for the giggle.

    Let me circle where it says that we’re getting gifting crystals on the 25th.

    Edit: never mind, it wasn’t stated in that message. OOPS.

    But if it helps, your post proved Mikes post about ?ing it out because it’d give away the event wrong. Since they stated we’re getting gifting crystals anyway, so thanks for that.
    Given they state gifting crystals are on the calendar and they do not appear anywhere on that calendar there is only one spot left for them to be. Lawl. And again it was the same gift as last year.

    Here are the two past years for comparison.8y9brtr7oeca.jpeg

    Yes and last year the whole community thought the December calendar was weak and out of touch with where we are in the game. It was a let down last year and they just added a t4c this year which doesn't help top level players and spenders who keep this game running. It's just funny to me at this point as they alienate their player base and make them angry all the time. I won't even open these not worth the effort.

    December 2018 has been arguably the worst month out of the year for MCOC, the first bad egg month in a while. Darkhawk, tons of other bugs, AW, the maze, it has all been very, very rough. After the disappointing Christmas Day gift, I have just the slightest bit of hope they correct their mistakes from this month and give us a better componensafion. Yes, we are all complaining about a free login calendar, but it was overhyped and “mysterious”. After all the money that we have given Kabam, we deserve more especially on Christmas Day. I have given better gifts during the gifting event compared to Kabam itself. Kabam have stated that the special holiday calendar is more of a present but it shouldn’t be, the December 25th item, THE CHRISTMAS DAY ITEM, which was great last year, and mysterious this year, was close to nothing for 95% of the player base. Come on Kabam.

    Timezones bud ... 2hrs into Christmas in the U.K.

    Give it until the full day tomorrow (US time). They are based in west coast US. They don’t base times on U.K. Nothing to do with you being important. Just not how they operate.

    We didn’t get tickets until early afternoon on the 25th last year.

    Exactly, what's the point of mystery boxing the reward if it's not much different from previous years?
    One should be progressing forward, instead of trying to cover it up when no new changes is made.

    Uhh.... This was part of the calendar... It was the "?" Item for December 25th. It was awarded today because for some reason Kabam calendars run 5 hours ahead of EST time.

    I am referring to everyone that’s expecting RDTs as apart of the calendar.

    Look at last years calendar and tell me you expected a lot more from that day.

    Give it until tomorrow

    We all need to bash crystal opening whale on you tube so that idiot stops spending his $7k per week. If he, and others like him, stops spending so ridiculous then maybe we will see some good changes.

    Hey All,

    Thank you for the feedback on the Calendar. I'm sorry to hear that come of you are disappointed by the Free items in the Calendar that are just part of the regular log in Calendar. This particular spot was hidden not because it's a special gift, but because it would have revealed an event that had not yet been announced.

    There is also a separate Log In Calendar that is more closely tied to the Holidays. More importantly, I'm seeing a lot of people comparing this to the Rank Down Tickets from last year, but what I think that most of them are forgetting is that they were not in the Calendar either.

    I'll ask the team to keep this in mind for next year and the future.


    If that was the case then those items should have been added into the holiday calender as well and not had a mystery item in the regualr monthly calender making it seem like it was going to be a special useful item. Especially making it on the 25th makes it seem like it was going to be something helpful to all levels of players not just those who just started. Whoever made that decision should have their christmas bonus taken away so they know how we sense be let down for the holidays.

    It was the same as last year.

    Sometimes I really wonder how you function. With such a generic, one dimensional, betamale personality. Absolutely nothing you’ve posted tonight has added anything of value to the thread, instead of trying to defuse situations you consistently troll in them to try to antagonise people further, regardless of how stupid it makes you look. At least people like Grounded and Coathanger actually try.

    What more of an explanation would you like? It was exactly the same as last year. You need more context or your brain cant function correctly to recall something? Or try Google. Its amazing what it brings up. Why would I try amd defuse a situation you all created yourselves. If I try and defuse a situation, I get called a sheep or Kabam employee. I'd much rather do it my own way while laughing to myself at you for spewing incorrect info all over the place.

    Can we send these back I'm afraid kabam spent to much on us and needs the lesser gifting crystals more than we do

    This is the gift you get when your Secret Santa forgot to shop for you and runs across the street to the convenient store to buy the first passable thing they see.

    To be honest, most of this forum community thinks every free thing we get is "weak". They could give a 6* crystal and most everyone would be upset it wasnt 2 or the champ they wanted. Look back on the gwenpool goes to the movies. People were mad they got Iron Patriot from pretty much a free 5*. Doesn't matter whats given. It will never be enough.

    @Kb2_4 I wont but that doeent change appreciation.

    My kid got me some dollar store toy for xmas I'll never need or want it. But I didnt throw it in his gave and tell him it sucked either.

    And get this I literally keep him alive all year.

    The item is t relevant it's the thought that counts. Unless your an entitled whiner

    But after arguably the worst month in MCOC history, we get this? I don’t think Kabam put any thought into it.

    Right. Tell me how they mislead you in ANY WAY about what it was, or what the expectation would be, and I'll consider it. Otherwise, it was just a Mystery Item and people who are demanding more than was given.

    If you don't see how that's deliberately misleading then you don't understand how people work, lol.

    That'd be like regularly gifting somebody a sports car every year and then hyping them up for a month about how amazing this year's gift is gonna be, only to give them socks.

    Deliberately what? No, just no.
    Mystery Item. Means they're not revealing the contents until the date. It wasn't "Mystery Item that will advance your Account months ahead!".
    They have no control over where peoples' minds go. Once again. Expectations run too far.

    Speak for yourself, the “community” largely had nothing to say last year as it wasnt a surprise.

    In fact I’d be willing to say there is a much larger number of summoners these crystals actually help than the number of summoners who find it useless. Ever heard of lift while you climb? Be happy for people these crystals actually help progress so they are that much closer to filing the spot left in your alliance when then salt overcomes any joy derived from the game and you quit.

    I don’t feel alienated as there are many more items on the various calendars and through other events currently going on that smaller summoners cannot benefit from like I do.

    If they aren't worth the effort how is posting and arguing about it with some rando on the interent worth the effort? #BuildingBridges.

    It's a surprise Gift. The surprise was 5 Gifting Crystals. It's free. Now, people are entitled to their feelings on it, but let's be real here. The real issue is people expected Tickets. By all means, give your feelings on it, but the reality is we're not owed a Login Calendar. It's a bonus for logging on regularly.

    It’s not about being “owed”. It’s about a for-profit company not taking a perfect (easy) opportunity to appreciate their customers, that make their game possible. You don’t have to be “owed” something to be disappointed with a total lack of thought and effort put forth by someone else.

    But then again, you would agree with the calendar if it delivered you a middle finger emoji, so not surprised by your comment.

    That's exactly what owed is. "Profit company....without us you wouldn't have a job....you owe us....we pay your salary...". Entitlement.

    Thanks for trying but it was a bit underwhelming. I wasn't expecting an RDT but I was hopeful for a 2018 roster Crystal guaranteeing a 4* or 5*, random class 4* or 5* Awakening or a couple greater gifting even would have been a bit more thoughtful. Just think of it as disappointing your kids by giving them a crappy sweater...Maybe you'll get it right next year kabam.

    Nope, you’re wrong. Kabam had an opportunity to surprise and delight their customers - an excellent business practice. They don’t owe to anyone but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t do it.

    Not sure if you’re just not understanding or just willfully trolling (as usual), but you don’t need to be owed anything to be disappointed by someone else. And that’s what many are feeling now - disappointment. That’s a valid feeling whether you agree with or not.

    I'm not wrong at all. You're talking about missed opportunities as if people are owed more. That's exactly what it is. Entitlement. Which is completely ignorant to everything else they're giving this month, and comes directly from expectations.
