EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE CONCLUDED
The Team has identified a fix for the recent Catalyst Offer issue.
Summoners who purchased this offer have been temporarily locked out of the Contest to Clawback any Catalysts bought/used while active, and ensure previously owned resources remain intact.
They will be unlocked once this process is complete, and no further action will be taken on their Accounts - along with a compensation package to those affected for the inconvenience.
Doing this allows us to bring the Game back up for everyone else.
We've removed the affected offer so we can decide later whether or not to bring it back after it's been fixed.
Additionally, all summoners can expect a general compensation package due to this Emergency Maintenance interrupting their play session.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

He will still be available in regular arena crystals, just Uncollected will have the option of buying the other crystal instead.
"Instead of costing 2000 Battlechips per Crystal, it will cost 10 000 Battlechips per crystal. The Contents of the Crystal have also been raised 5x times! So you are able to score 5 times as much gold,"
Isn't this the same amount of gold?
The added bonus of E refills, units and of course 4*/5* punisher are great. The whole point of the arena crystal, and the grinding that goes with it, is the lack of gold throughout the realm. I don't see the added bonus unless there's a higher drop rate than the 2400 gold minimum of the 2k crystal.
All I see is a consistent 12k gold from a 10k crystal. What's really the point of the same, minimum amount of gold for "veteran" players? I don't see the added bonus from the description.
Granted, the crystal hasn't come out yet.
Yea that is pretty paltry... but at the same time, if you land on units, that's 75 units for 1 crystal, or up to 225 units (I think 45 units is the highest reward for a basic arena crystal). It's pretty much a gamble.
According to the initial post, all of the arena crystal contents have been multiplied by 5, as has the cost of the crystal. So basically no change there.
The 4* Punisher will now be as common as the 3* version, so it says. But, previously, for 10K chips you could get 5 crystals, so 5 shots at Punisher. Now, with only 1 crystal for 10K chips, you get 1 shot.
So how is the 4* Punisher now as common as the 3* was?
I think it would refer to drop % per crystal. Overall it will be less common due to fewer crystals, but the % chance of getting him per Uncollected crystal should be the same as getting a 3* in a regular crystal.
If you really would be a veteran player, you wouldn't be asking for more gold. I am sitting on 10M gold and ranking up weekly 4 and 5*s. Stop calling yourself vet when you are a 130k. We don't need more gold.
I've sent a message direct to @Kabam Miike about this on the 3rd August and had no reply at all, would be good to know if they are going to stay stacked or if they are going to vanish
Seriously? So because YOU don't need more gold, "WE" don't need more gold? Don't speak for me or 99% of the rest of the player base who haven't reached your level of elitism yet.
Enjoy sitting on your gold.
Another way for kabam to take people's money and give people nothing
A couple of things on this comment. First, they are also increasing the probability of pulling 4* Punisher dramatically. They state he will have the same probability as the 3* has in the current crystal. I've had my 3* at max sig for some time now, so this is a big increase in probability.
Second, let's say your ideal reward from Arena crystals is units. For the sake of easy math, let's say the probability of 45 units from the current crystal is 10%. Assuming the probability for each item are the same in the new crystal, there would be a 10% chance of pulling 45x5=225 units from the new crystal. The probability of pulling 45x5=225 units from 10k worth of Battlechips (5 Arena crystals) is .1*.1*.1*.1*.1 = .00001 or 0.001%.
I'd say increased probability of 4* Punisher + any probability of 5* Punisher + 10,000x better probability of 225 units is worth praising.
I actually did forget about the 4* version, thanks. Probably because I have yet to ever get one =P But we also don't know real odds of getting anything in particular, but should be safe to assume a direct translation of odds, right? TBH though, 4* Punisher is unexciting to me, although that is a personal thing.
Haha yeah I've never gotten him either after 1.75 years of playing constantly. Like you, I'm not too excited about him as he won't be anything but arena fodder for me. I'm most excited about the better unit return, but it'd be nice to add Punisher to the collection at some point.
Man, as I wrote, I was just commenting on ponyboy's statement that him as a vet would need more gold. I didn't say that no one needs gold.
