As a f2p, I got better rewards from my daily valiant crystals which I had saved for 20 days than the SBC's. Was so pissed I just wasted 3.5 k units in t6cc frags.
@@JO-ji4bb that only gives 2 r3s, Nothing crazy. They could’ve increased the amount given from the crystals and less fillers. You must be very low if you find these rewards or milestones useful
@@sjejsj7615 I’ve been valiant for a few weeks, so like I said already, I can see disappointment from those who have many R3 champs already. I currently have two so this event is great for me, I’ll be doubling my R3 roster. Adding the 7* nexus certainly helps too. Mid to high end valiants are the only ones really not getting much value (for 10k+)
Spent about 3500 units for enough shards for 2 7 star, got one banquet box key and one selector with 24 7 star champs so 4 in total nothing else that's really worth talking about.
I like how this year's banquet is structured. All the things you get from the milestones are amazing for how much you spend. I spent about 13.5k units to hit the 20088 mark for the realm event. Added up this is what i got for just the milestones: -60,000 7* shards -2 7* crystals -7* nexus -2 7* rank 1 to 2 gems -7* awakening gem crystal (shards) -materials to take 2 7* rank 3 -5k titan shards (only low point) -3 7*glorius gaurdians keys I spent over 20k units on cyber week and got way less. Banquet crystals were always trash. Just look at the greater banquet crystals, thats the crap we got in the past events for the same 300 units.
There's a lot of truth in this. I think my problem with the way the crystals are structured this year is that this is the second big event in a row that has been focused on horizontal roster development (aka ranking up existing champs) as opposed to champion acquisition or vertical roster development (achieving the next and newest rank). For a player at my level, there is virtually no reason to rank up champions outside of building a BGs deck. And if you're like me and actively dislike BGs, then pulling thousands of units' worth of rankup materials doesn't feel that great.
I kept a detailed chart of everything. I opened 67 superior crystals in total and ended up with a seven star vision, but no keys. Overall, it’s been somewhat underwhelming. I feel like including more selectors all over this event would have made it better. I ended up with many T5CC & T3/4A that I can get very easily by playing BGs, AQ and raid. As a valiant, I’m never short on those.
Nice opening Sim hey i have a question when you guys went to Kabam HQ any talk of updating EQ and Paragauntlet those game modes feel incredibly outdated and need a massive rework and or buff.
The T7B feels like it was only put in there for the people that Kabam knew were going to spend so much that they'd form one or more catalysts. For everyone else, the amounts are so low they feel pointless because once T7B is available in content, it will undoubtedly add up to full catalysts.
Dropped about 7.5k units (So around 43 SBCs after grabbing the units and extra SBCs via milestones) , SBCs were 70% just catalysts (A lot of them being class catalysts that I didn't really need like Tech T6CC), very little 7 star shard drops (I think I got the 1.5k drops about 3 or 4 times and that was it) and at least 10 sigs worth of 7 star sig stones (wish I could've gotten more of those personally). So got the short end of the stick when it came to opening the SBCs which was kind of disappointing to say the least. However, the 7 star pulls definitely saved the opening; Got an awakening on Vox (Love Vox, probably gonna be my next R3 Cosmic when I have the resources) 20 more sigs on Prowler (Already at R3 sig 101 before the dupe and I can never say no to more Prowler sigs) A new Titania (already watched your guide on her and I am already loving the playstyle and damage) And War Machine (I don't mind War Machine since the pre-fights are very nice for questing, so not too bad of a pull honestly) As for the box, I could only get 1 key from the alliance milestones and opened it to get Purgatory (My most wanted buffed champ right next to Medusa), took her to R3 immediately and been having a blast with her (Honestly don't get the dislike for her from some people, they clearly haven't bothered to see what she can really do). Purgatory more or less saved my opening because if i gotten a champ like Sentry (I have absolutely no interest in him, no matter how good he is after his ramp up), probably would've just stopped playing after a few months honestly.
Those crystals are just so dry, but have had some good 7* pulls. From the boxi have got Medusa, Purgatory, Sentinel and Deadpool X.... So no complaints there ☺️
It's a weird situation. The rank up materials have objectively good value and I'll make use of them, but... this event just wasn't that exciting at all
@simula67 .. True... It was actually painfull to open those crystals. But this event also ended my "spending streak" on mcoc. So threw in a little extra to get then milestones and some units. From now on it will be free to play. Or perhaps not play at all...
I had 45 SGC b4 even spending my units n got nothing but rank up materials n spent 24k units n got 1k titan n 6k 7* shards n bunch of rank up materials . Just been a dodo opening 4 me . Straight disappointment on da rng drop 4 7* shards n titan
@@simula67 craziest thing is, the items on the crystal (except for the T5CC) aren't bad at all, the percentages are the things that are hurting it. 7* or titan shards are nothing to already whales so why don't pump the rates of those, it's unbelievable that after that many units you get not that many 7*. Whales care not so much for 7* nexuses neither, they still put the 3-4 gem and catalysts for them. As a veteran, this is the first banquet I'm hugely disappointed (not even the broken banquet per se was that bad, because whales already have a huge advantage due to the increase of sales events we have, back we had 3 over the year, now we get one every 2 months). I know this isn't some "cash grab" thing as all the community is speaking, but they do really need to re think the economy now that they're aggressively doing more sales and outright selling champs.

I can say I got lucky with titan shards drops and T7 shards then lucky to get the 2 champs i most wanted out of the chests. Not spending a dime on the unit store. Also not getting my hopes up on Christmas day gift. They should have increased the amount of points earned when buying and opening crystals. 400 is ass

Nice opening. I was unlucky enough to get my 3 least wanted from the 3 milestone keys. KABAMMED
I wish it was a manual selection and not a random drop
@@SkeetersCousin Agreed!
Same lol
congrats on all the big blue metal guys.
at least one of the pulls was what you wanted. personally, i'm a medusa fanboy.

Not too shabby
Better titan luck than my sig 60 Northstar...
RIP sorry my G

I got 2 whole drops of t7b. Honestly at the amount I wish I had the option to choose t4a instead. Nothing really to write home about.

20 more sigs on Prowler (Already at R3 sig 101 before the dupe and I can never say no to more Prowler sigs)
A new Titania (already watched your guide on her and I am already loving the playstyle and damage)

What happens if you have a spare key??
You use them to dupe the champs

The biggest downside for me was paying 9k units for things I regurlaly get on glory store
Yup, I provided pretty much this same feedback in the CCP discord.

No dopamine hit ;-;
Not this time!
@simula67 aside Sentinel for you, me I got no hit watching this haha
Dropped 85k in units….
Holy moly. Were you happy with what you got from it? Where do you expect to land in the ranked rewards?
