How Meh is The Banquet Event 2023 - There is some good! | Comparing 2022 vs 2023 | Marvel Champions

[@Twi_543]

Yes the problem is we have all progressed since last year so the same rewards don’t help us as much as the did last year

[@chaddixson8398]

Rewards in general, especially with necropolis being so easy for some, have not scaled well. Everyone close to paragon should be rank 5ing 6*s and rank 2ing 7*s with valiant being kind of the gate for 7* rank 3. But as someone who is 12 quests away from paragon I have next to no resources to rank 5 1 6*. This will also ruin BGs difficulty scaling.

[@richardbrown4898]

@@chaddixson8398you have almost no resources to r5 a 6* because that’s something paragon players should be focused on. Tb is too early you should be building a solid r4 roster.

So basically you get the same stuff as last year... As if the meta has remained frozen for a year. What a Kabam fail.

@@armara70black Friday deals are procession based. A Cav player can spend less and even just from the milestones do better at banquet plus get what ever is in the crystals.

[@natekent3910]

Wish there was a Paragon or TB Banquet Crystal for 300 units, that have rewards suitable for TB/Paragon+ players. Cause Conquerors-Valiants are getting the same rewards from GBCs. Conquerors are getting far more value per unit spent than Paragons/Valiants (those who have been players of the game for so long). Makes no sense. Unless there are progression based discounts for GBCs, that would balance it out far better. Like for Conquer and Uncollected they're 300 units for each GBC, then for Cav they're 250 each, then for TB they're 200 each, Paragon 150 each, Valiant 100 each. Or something alone those lines. Because seriously, Paragon+ players don't have much use for T2A or T5B cats, at least nothing worth 300 units. Me and my alliance have many TB/Paragon players (myself included) we've been saving for Banquet for a little while now, and the rewards seem so nerfed in value per unit compared to last year.

[@chuckfinley884]

KabamMiike commnented in the pinned thread. Said nothing is changing and acted like he didn’t understand why people were ripping the event.

[@ancillarodrigues1132]

Yeah he's dumb....for so many years the banquet was rewarding crazy amounts of items to the spenders and now suddenly they realise that they have to maintain the balance in the game

[@LarryDiamond-te3yt]

Completely reassessing what Kabam did. This is actually awesome. The first 2 milestones on individual and alliance give 1.1K units. So can then get all of the stuff. It’s the ultimate FTP experience/ and then even if RNG awful on the crystals that’s amazing Free stuff. Well done Kabam! Now I get why they were a bit taken aback by the hostility. Where we should hold fee to fire is Gladiator release.

[@LarryDiamond-te3yt]

Oops my bad the pic is solo not alliance…. Ok. I control my own fate. But 600 more units!

[@v4l1AW]

i just wanted a 7 star 1-2

[@bhuvanesh_cybersecurity]

Sad is, no T3 rewards which is most required for elevating to R4 someone... 😢😢

[@debarghyabiswas2046]

Man I though theres gonna 7* r3 materials there Damn

[@raycardiob]

So before the gripe was players get stuff that was usually won by playing high-level content. Now, we are asking for a progression level banquet event because top-tier players get these rewards regularly, and they don't need these. I don't think Kabam can ever satisfy the player base in this game

[@smoothcriminal4618]

You really cant compare that Last years banquet was so crazy because we barely scratched r4 6 stars this year with seven star r3 available and r4 being fairly common this is really not worth it Paragon players would spemd 10k units while we get better stuff monthly I really wanna participate but i had hoped to get atleast another r5 which we dont

[@danielngandu8656]

Spot on spot on! T3A and T6B I can already pick up from paragon gauntlet not to mention the shards that you can get from battlegrounds and glory store as well as the monthly EQ and Paragon. So does it make sense to spend +6k units to reach that milestone? So I guess you get more bang for your buck pushing progression if you're not yet paragon or pushing Necropolis!

[@LarryDiamond-te3yt]

Communication is worse than ever. This is a GREAT event. Actually best of the year. IF you are beginning or TB or lower. Account changing crystals. The milestones are also great. Account changing again. For paragon and valiants it’s MEH. That’s ok. No need to do anything more than bare minimum. What they needed was different account based milestones. Or yeah coded different crystals. But as it is, it’s kind of a chill nothing event in terms of paragon and above. Also companies should not be hostile and dismissive with their customers. Hopefully the gifts wow us.

[@robindachampgaming]

For players pushing valiant thus is trash.. We got this stuff in overflow. They should have just did progressive base rewards.. Like they do in game packages. So each level of progression is satisfied.

[@WhiteDawn.]

I’m caviler and I’m not impressed with the rewards… so can’t imagine how the whales feel!

[@brokenheart245]

This event is really good for recent paragon anda lower … for older paragon and valiants is a big disappointment

[@darshmeghani582]

Are we able to send revives and stuff to gift one acc to 2nd acc ? Like last time ?

[@BillyD.BeerBellyBuddah.]

hey o, afternoon. rewards have not progressed but players have, they have not moved with times

[@paulburrows295]

I was looking forward to spending units i saved back but the values just are not there, 1 completion run of necropolis and hopefully pick up tier 4 alpha throughout the year, could have at least put 1 tier 4 alpha combined in solo and alliance rewards

[@michaelb2998]

Trash, said it before, saying it again. Costs more, get items the same or slightly better than last year. The crystal drops are always suspect especially for rare items, 6* shards come on! Weak # of 7* shards. Solo event/Alliance event milestone and rank rewards have the taste of sweat licked of a Bantha’s butt. Its a complete failure, good for cavalier and below I guess. HEY KABAM, don’t shift the paradigm but blowing us a way with deals on 7/4 with awesome value, introducing R3 7*s and then underwhelm us with offers that don’t help progression from cyber weekend thru New Years including this toilet stain of a banquet event. I’m not FTP, but not a whale either, but I’m not spending a penny on this event.

[@Hyogasaint]

Dude, its not even good for Cavalier players...what the hell am I gonna do with 5* shards and 5* AGs when I have plenty 6*s and even a 7* champion. Kabam´s trend for the lasty 18 months has been making players play/spend more for the same old rewards if not worse.

[@GuitarBeast-xp8dp]

Riding with Kablam is like being in an abusive relationship.

[@Eyesoftheoracle777]

How much units to get everything?

[@sweatyguy3558]

I might be missing something/not read rewards properly for this upcoming event but as a TB player nothing really seems worth it? I’ll probably spend as much as needed for the alliance event then use the rest to push paragon (got 5.5k units saved)

[@f0x50]

You don't need units to get to paragon. Getting tb is the hard part. I got to paragon with 1 r4 and r3s without spending units

[@ComicCardSpider-Man2099]

I will say since I bought some cyber week deals and didn’t spend any units I have over 20k units and so I’ll hit all the solo milestones in 1 day and I’ll probably have about 70 crystals to open

I tried to calculate it(might be a miss) I came to 9900 units needed where I calculated the banquet milestones units and the event arena units(exclusive battlechips) as part of the ‘free stuff’ and so it’s 9900 units you need to have BEFORE the events start

[@Hyogasaint]

Yes, we have 5 more milestones, but we get LESS points for doing things...Are they out of their minds? LMFAO. Spend/play more..get less. Kabam´s logic am I right?. This year has been a big L for MCOC players in general, not good. This reinforces my thoughts that Kabam is trying to get the most of spenders because they are gonna pull the plug on 2024. There is no other explanation for the things they been doing against players. Your last advice is on point. Stop when the fun stops, I´ve been doing this ever since they start screwing us 6 months ago, I used to play +6 hours a day, now I only play when I dont have better things to do. Some days I play 2 hours, some days I play 15 minutes and I dont even autofight to burn energy. I even skipped entire SQs. A game should be fun to play, MCOC has become more of a chore than a game. I might not be playing it at all on 2024.

[@richardbrown4898]

You’re insane if you think they’ll pull the plug on their most profitable game lmao. The game will never die unless all whales stop spending.

[@rfalls977]

You know, Kabam isn’t doing the whole mcoc thing out of the kindness of its heart and to entertain or give ftp players something to do. It’s about making money. Period! They don’t make more money, the content suffers. FTP players do nothing for the advancement of the game except enjoy the content made by paid creators at Kabam. You like the game? Contribute

[@dariuspope1726]

For 96% of players it’s actually good this event is trash. It’ll give time for players to focus on harder content (no pressure to spend) and give smaller accounts a chance to develop a decent amount. Only mega whales are going to benefit. Sucks that it isn’t better value but a silver lining I guess.

I agree that Rich does have a habit of over hyping upcoming events, but I guess it's for the clicks. At the end of the day, saving up units for use in general isn't a bad thing.

Every resource other than units has been massively devalued since last year so keeping the rewards the same this year is blatant mockery of the very people who fund Kabam’s existence. I’m focusing on exploring Necropolis over this.

[@joshuaplough1902]

This is sad! No rank 3 material for 7*s. Still t5cc and Basic? An you gotta spend 10k units? I'm about over this game. I think I might go back to CONSOLE. It's becoming to expensive to keep up with this game. They filter what they allow the majority to obtain. The only people really having fun with this game is MEGA spenders. You never get the materials or champs you want. The content cost to play. I think I would have more fun again on C.O.D, Fortnite, Resident Evil Pokemon etc.

[@MrJaws]

Honestly I would hate if it becomes progression based. It’s the one event that ignores that idea and gives you those rewards like last year thought it was impossible for me to get more than 5 rank 3 6* and now this year I could actually rank 5 and ascend a 6* through this event not only that I could sig 200 archangel. Then not only but could get my first ever 7*. So I honestly love the rewards, but i get why many at higher ranks don’t since being with the arrival of being able to now rank 3 7*’s.
