OK this is starting to test my patience now. They put on all socials log in to collect your hard earned rewards and there's nothing. Nothing on their official forums other than ice on discord saying it's in progress.
Why has communication fallen off a cliff? That disillusioned I can't even bothered to come with a pithy or ridiculous comment to cheer myself up.

I think it's reverted to the end point. 407m powers fired. I am still confused what "46.66% of overall" (in the final 407m, that equals 48.8% so there seems to be an inverse relationship?) means in the breakdown. The goal is set at "55% of overall".

Perhaps "overall" is the reference data for [4?] week period prior to the event?

All three bars add up to 100%.

This seems to be par for the course (IMHO) for BCS. Was it a nice gesture? Yes. Did they have to do it? No. Could it have been run better and been communicated more efficiently? Absolutely.

Totally appreciate the gesture and the effort. Definitely understand it didn't even have to be done. However, it certainly could have been coordinated better with the other events and better communication throughout. More of a win than a loss, though.

I mean, I've played for a bajillion hours. As long as the game keeps running, I'll probably keep playing. It's not the end of the world if the rewards take a few extra days to send out. It just doesn't elicit a lot of confidence that things are getting better when these hiccups keep happening.

We should get the stone as a participation trophy reward, disappointed but appreciative nonetheless

Ah look someone who went to one of those schools where there were no losers, only joint winners

I'm not fretting about the rewards being late, they will get here when they get here. It's not like it's a game changing reward set.

I did my part and feel like a winner haha..

My prediction is that they will just give us all the rewards as compensation for being late. Maybe they even are "late" on purpose so they can have a reason to give us all the rewards besides a participation trophy reason.

My bet on something like that

Call me cynical, but I doubt they'd give a power stone to every player when they are going to add them in PvP. I think the tier 4 rewards were really good and generous. I'm really happy with those.

The infamous “you’re supposed to lose”.

Sounds like this.

I don’t think they’ll give us a power stone for failing, but I wonder about your line of thinking. Power stones are going to be potentially very unbalancing in PVP. I always thought they were going to try to find a way to make the stones more accessible to level the playing field. Now I suspected it would be a cash option, so I was pleasantly surprised when this event first came out, but now the cash option seems inevitable. The cynic in me even wonders if they were hoping everyone would get a power stone so there would be less complaining when they sell the other stones for cash. (Hey we gave everyone the best stone for free!)

Yes, I did mean they wouldn't give everyone a stone for failing, nor that they wouldn't had we succeeded!

I don't think selling the stones would be a great idea, certainly not early on. I'd at least expect it to be tied to the 10th Anniversary to get maybe 1 in a vault. But once everyone has all the stones, it becomes a bit of "what is there left to sell?" beyond new characters and roster slots?

I'm pretty sure they'll find ways to keep selling supports - they're well on the way to monetizing them, they're regularly scheduled monthly releases now.

Nightglider1

Still no rewards? Can any devs comment?

IceIX

Just wanted to say, the rewards are coming. Soon(tm). Over 20 discrete items, we're likely going to batch these out over the next couple days.

Nightglider1

Thanks.

I’ll leave off levelling characters until they arrive

Just got a part of the rewards. 3 starlord 3 star covers, 40k iso, and 20k red iso.

I got the same.

Did they ever confirm what tier they are paying out?
