Its really not fair when i try two or 3 times in Epic unstable and all i get is Signature stones..for someone playing over 3 years and not have a chance to have access of any interested reward which mostly goes to youtubers

I really don't think they go to youtubers more than anyone else. Lots of guys in my alliance got amazing luck. I'd have been thrilled with the t2 alpha and the awakening gem on previous rifts. Honestly do you think they manually change the RNG for accounts that make youtube videos?
Odds suggested ~1/3 chance at the better rewards; I fell a little short of that.

My final tally on epic rifts ended up:
1 T2A 2x 2000 6* shards 3x 500 5* shards 1 5* +5 sig stone
I would characterize that is moderately above average in terms of drop type, although personally speaking two drops of 2k 6* shards was in terms of value already higher than I was expecting out of the entire event combined.
Statistically, you hit the 3/7 mark I hoped for—I would put that at above average, if you consider there was ~1/3 shot at T2a, T5b shards, 5* AG, featured 5* and 2000 6* shards (something else may have been in there to add up to 35%).
Qualitatively, I have to think you found the 6* shards and T2a useful. For me, T5b is a good prize but I just formed one so the shards didn’t immediately help. A full T2a, on the other hand, is useful now, especially with the new calendar goodies.
So I wound up 2/7. Decent, but I have to say, for the amount of energy and time used (I was out of country for over a week and had to hustle to finish Heroic), a little underwhelming. But I’m used to that—seems to be the consistent theme for my account.
In order: 500 5* shards 500 5* shards 2000 6* shards (enough to pull Darkhawk) 500 5* shards Honestly don't remember this pass. 5/6* shards I think. 250 6* shards
One more pass later tonight then I'll be done. Overall could have been worse, but still not thrilled with the outcomes. Was really pissed after the 3rd pull of 500 shards through 4 passes.
40% chance to pull something I wanted, was successful 16% of the time.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I HATE rng rewards. Especially when the value of the items at stake is so disproportionally uneven.
Just once, I’d like to be one of those guys who gets 3 AGs, or pulls all great 5/6*’s from a handful of Cavaliers, or gets the “hey have a thousand units on us” in game message...
So I would say, 2/8, which I think is a bit below average... Would have gladly taken a T2A, or even the sig-stones to boost up prestige a bit...
I guess, since I did pull 1 AG, I’ve lost my right to complain, but getting lowest rewards for 5 epic rifts in a row was a kick in the b’s nonetheless... (can’t use the mutant gem atm anyway, but am in desperate need of a science gem! Maybe I’ll get lucky in 3 months from the summoner appreciation calendar... ^^)
I think, at the very least, they should have made it so that you can't hit the same path twice. If there were 8 paths, you'd have to run the rifts 8 times to get everything. Maybe you still get **** luck and get the lowest available tier prize when you run, but at least you'd have the incentive to keep trying them. Getting 5 Sig stones time and again after wasting the time and effort to get the coral to run the epic rifts is beyond depressing.
THIS!
Can we please get some cheer for this idea? Doing 8 epic rifts took quite a grind... would it be too much to ask, that you won’t land on the same shi**y path twice?
They could even make it that you have to earn your way up, so you definitely get the bad paths first, and make your way up to the better paths, and only get the AG, if you manage to do all 8 epic rifts... No RNG involved there... (except for the class of the AG... Heck, make it a “choose-your-class” Awakening Gem, they have this system with low tier class catalysts...)
I think ive done 5 runs through epic, today was the first time in any rift type event that I have got anything good, being the 5* featured.
Is the champ pool locked to whats in it now or can I save until I have enough shards for another featured and open both for a slim chance at duping from the featured pool?
@Kabam Miike has said somewhere that the featured is locked to the current pool...
So I've done everything 100% and finished top 1-20% every day for the hero use and it looks like I'll be 1000 tier 2 shards short from another Epic Rift. Anyone falling just short as well?
Really thankful and happy that another solo event came up and I finally opened my 6th and final epic rift and got a t2a....now I see what I was about to miss if this solo event didn't showed up lol

Final pass was another 500 5* shards for a "success" rate of 1/7. Hooray!!
Qualitatively, I have to think you found the 6* shards and T2a useful. For me, T5b is a good prize but I just formed one so the shards didn’t immediately help. A full T2a, on the other hand, is useful now, especially with the new calendar goodies.
For me personally, the 6* shards and t2a were the best possible rewards, as those represent my two biggest bottlenecks. Even the T5B fragments would have been less valuable to me at the moment, as I am actually full on T5B at the moment (having just completed full explore of Act 5 put me there).
So do we have a 30 min window (or less) to use the coral rank rewards from final day of the event? The only way I can get enough t3 (which will give me once more shot at T4/epic) is if I can rank reward. The event finishes about 30 mins before the rifts close, assuming the rewards are immediate. Can anyone confirm? Otherwise I’m not going to bother

Right. I don’t mean to downplay the T5b frags, but they are just a number. The T2a is immediately useful, and the other stuff is far less useful.
What would have been nice is being able to enhance the odds somehow, whether by using more coral for a higher level rift or by improving odds over the number of rifts run.
I know...the autonomy theme again. Game always seems to put its thumb on the frustration side of the scales.
Any chance we can get one last round of Coral offers, maybe including all Coral Tiers? I’m personally gonna end up being just 3000 tier 2 shards off from one last Epic Rift, and it’s my understanding that majority of us are very few shards off, which is quite frustrating.
What was the point of including Coral in the offers last week anyway, if we didn’t even know how much we would end up with in the end.. Sure you could calculate it but who wanna waste their time doing that.. They should’ve run until the quest expired imo.
While we are figuring out what to do with the coral remainders, maybe we could also clear out any other detritus left over from events past (like randomizers for the Occult Labs)? Use a little of that “work smarter, not harder” philosophy during the old game team coding kaffeeklatschs?

A cosmic awakening gem
the lowest 5* shards
sig stones
the lowest 5* shards
the lowest 6* shards
Hopefully can get one more run. The t2 alpha is nice but I don't need it and I have several cosmic gems already.
