I think Kabam finally did something correctly! Why the hell are starter players yelling that they didn't get 7500 red shards? If the game is fully functional they have no chance to get it anyway. This is a fair compensation. Disagree with me, it changes nothing. Also the glory is OK. It cannot be more fair. Imagine if someone who plays this game 1 week getting the same compensation as an oldschool cavalier with 100% 6.3.. just imagine
a full 5* reward for someone not uncollected is a huge compensation. A full 5* is less impactful for someone in later game content. That is why tiered rewards otherwise the substantive impact of the compensation would be very different.
This is a complete joke and an insult to the entire community. The maintenance had nothing to do with story progression. The maintenance screwed up the AQ and wars for every alliance in this game in the same way. Every member of this community was affected. Why the H*** are people getting better compensation packages based on title? That had nothing to do with what happened. This is not an in-game offer. This WAS a chance for kabam to apologize to the community for not testing their updates before letting them go live. I lead an entire alliance and I actually had to stop and put my life on hold for over 24 hours while this was going on to keep my alliance together and you're telling me you're going to give me basically half of the rewards that you're giving everyone else that has attained cavalier status? WTF The only reason I'm not cavalier is because all of my free time is spent running our alliance. Everyone in this community was affected the same exact way and the compensation packages should reflect this. End of discussion.
They have to tier it in some way. Think about it, it would be stupid for someone who started an account last week to get 1k 6* shards and a 5* crystal that could potentially award them a champ that they can walk through half the content with. However I would say that I can see the frustration from separating cavaliers and uncollected as a lot of alliances who suffered greatly in terms of rewards will have both of these groups in that alliance and even though they all lost out on the same, some get more than others.
After seeing what reward cavalier got i am convinced for pushing towards cavalier but it'll take a while
I have been slowly pushing for it in the past 6 months since becoming Uncollected. I finally did it last month by using about 400 free crystals to get through the last three parts. And leaning into Omega Red on Crossbones and Blade on Sentinel. I heard the calendars would be tailored by status so I pushed myself to finish it off.

Didn't read the part of mail that said this is comp for the downtime. There will be a separate reward for the AW issues that will likely be tiered based on the alliance rankings before and after.
Who's bright idea was it to do the compensation packages based on story progression level? What does story progression level have to do with the AQ and the wars? I'll tell you, it has absolutely nothing to do with the AQ and the wars. Nothing!

This isn’t even the compensation for AW, chill man

So you think there are provers doing map 7x5 and plat plus alliances but cannot get uncollected?

I am in an alliance with a few cavaliers tell me how they were more affected than me and therefore deserve better compensation

Stopped reading after first para in the comp mail lol
I mean, just because we are lazy/too busy for story progression as we have other duties(example side quests(more rewards) and alliance events) doesn't mean that we are not affected by the maintenance. there are a lot of other modes for us to play too, and story progression does not reflect our level. From my point of view, only the cavalier compensation is good as they were trying for labyrinth etc but for proven people who are trying to clear uncollected, 2.5k shards and a 4* crystal are not going to help at all. While I am grateful for the compensation, I feel that the compensation should be given out equally regardless of titles.
Everyone was equally affected but Kabam continues to insult us with tiered compensation? Utter rubbish. But typical....
We can't give a new player an entire 5-Star and 1000 6-Star shards. We scale rewards because we have a progression plan for the entire game.
Everyone was affected in the same way everyone should have the same compensation, just because I am half way through 6.1 doesn't mean I was any less affected than my cavalier alliance mates

There is no way someone with proven should get a 5* crystal and 1k 6* shards just like that it just destroys the basic progression. A 4* is brilliant for aiming for uncollected, especially if it’s a top tier one

It's not about Cavs being more or less affected by downtime than UC or proven. Kabam decides they want the compensation to have certain level of impact on a player. 2.5k 5* shards for a new roster has a certain impact. That same level of impact for a large late game roster scaled to a full 5*. Otherwise smaller rosters would get a huge benefit compared to people who already have established rosters. The 5* I got with the crystal wont even sniff my lineup outside of arena.

I'm not asking for a fully formed 5* crystal or 6* shards, just increase the amount of 5* shards and scrape the 4* crystal

Right but where do you draw the line. Someone else could say the same thing “oh just stop the 5* shards and give us 2 6*s”

Then they would need to give larger comp to the cavs to scale. Then someone would complain again.

that's not what I'm implying.im just not satisfied that someone who is trying for uncollected is getting the same rewards as those who just started.

We can't give a new player an entire 5-Star and 1000 6-Star shards. We scale rewards because we have a progression plan for the entire game.
For me was a first time dupe on my R4 cage, not mad!
Side note: thank you kabam, look forward to the AW and AQ compensation next week 🙏
Not bad
Is that a different package?
Cheers Kabam. These rewards were fair and thoughtful. You're doing way better with compensating and transparency.
