Or as everyone in this thread is thinking about this post......WHAT!?? this makes no sense!!
By the same token, if I know well in advance that I won't know the other 18, it changes my decision making process. I have no issues with the change, i have issues with how it was announced, because it clearly looks like they had no intention of informing us of the change in procedures.
I would never for example allow a T2A to expire because it is for more valuable than the full stash of T4CC that I have. When you have 60 fully formed T4CC crystals and 2,000 fragment crystals, and you cannot open them because you are full on all T4CC....this is a game balance issue.
Side note: I’m trying not to believe that the decision is based on developer laziness, given that 4 days away the entire pool hasn’t even been determined yet so it must be something done last minute.
2. 5* champions cost at least 10000 shards, and bounty missions only give you 200.
3. T4C catalysts cost 36000 shards, and you're granted small amounts through war crystals.
The game is literally built around saving your shards, and now hoarding, aka "saving too many" is suddenly "unhealthy behavior for the game"?
Makes no sense. Sounds like the company wants us to waste our shards. Or that they don't want us to pop multiple crystals anymore (which seems to grant better pulls), or don't want us to strategize, or just are getting lazy about posting the list ahead of time. But.....Kabam just finished the recon initiative, where there was a list of items that we could "hoard" our Intel for.
Makes no sense, whatsoever.
@Kabam Miike I've been playing this game for 3+ years, and I've never heard anything about hoarding crystals being unhealthy or bad for the game, lol
Tell you what NOT releasing the list ahead of time is going to do.. make people hoard even longer! Haha, seriously, it'll make me do it more for sure!
Sitting on red shards, waiting for the anticipated upcoming crystal when we know what is coming, means there's a firm date that those are going to be spent!
Not telling us just means I'll wait until the next feature crystal is introduced, and if the champ I am after isn't included, i'll hoard until next month, or the following month..
Withholding the details isn't going to make people stop holding shards, lol.
Man, this gave me a good laugh🤣🤣
They expect us to be mind readers. They didn’t say anything for days when people were asking for the list and now finally they say they’re discontinuing the announcement without any warning with some lame excuse. Transparency is key here and without transparency there’s no respect.
You don’t have to be a top 90 placement in AQ to have an overflow of T4CC. Just look at rewards progressions and you will see the problem. As the tiers in AQ go up, more T4CC payout and very tiny amounts of T4B and other resources are added. If gain 3 T4CC in a week (really easy to do) you need 6 T4B to rank up your 5* from R1-R3. Even if grind arena for 2 of those you still don’t have enough to make the difference. And that is just one of the additional resources needed.
Don’t put that on the player. That is Kabam and their game balance.
Let's say they do a redistribution of the AQ Rewards in Crystals. What then becomes the Bottleneck? Most likely something else. Balancing Rewards can only go so far without factoring in how people choose to spend said Rewards.
Serious question. Do you think hoarding is actually unhealthy for the game? And if so how, and how does not announcing the champs fix that. Ppl are just gonna hoard until the crystal comes out whereas if they had the list they might just open basics and not be hoarding.
Pop open all my map 5 and 6 crystals just looking to get as many T4b shards (and t2a) as I can, but the T4c crystal and fragment crystals get left to gather dust.
I say I’d pop them one day but just opening the map crystals in the hunt for T4b means I never need to open T4c crystals.
Do I think hoarding is unhealthy? Yes.
Every aspect of the game, from acquiring to levelling champs, is based on hoarding. Lol
Why is hoarding unhealthy and how does not announcing the champs stop hoarding?
