Nice attempt, but this promo is terrible

Kabam...
It's nice to provide new avenues for feature crystals, but this shockwave team thing in arena is asinine.
Shockwave teams incredibly rare. Assuming a player gets the max 50 logic shards for a win, we would need to run into 40 shockwave teams for a single crystal.
Even if you were to spend energon, it would end up costing more than 150 for a crystal before the promo is done.
You aren't fooling anyone. The only way I see this being useful is if it runs until the end of the spotlight missions.
Is this the only way to get the shards? If so, you might as well just call it what it is... A giant troll on the players. Even moreso that there is actually an option to buy 5x crystals for 10k shards.
At this rate I'd be shocked (pun intended) of anyone racked up enough for even a single crystal.
Brutal.

All this is gonna achieve is to confuse players about why they've got 20-30 shards for some random crystal that they can't use for anything
I know you guys like to pitch your prices to jobless billionaires, but c'mon...
This seems less like "an extra way to get a free featured crystal" than a way to feel sore about missing something that was nominally available but not actually achievable
If it was 200 chips instead of 50, or if it was spread to anyone with a Shockwave synergy, then maybe it would encourage some extra arena participation
Doesn't really seem like something aimed at the entire player base or something that is designed in a way that will encourage people to play the game any more than they normally would.
It's worse than character crystals in the raid events by a large margin. 415,000 chips for the 10th crystal or the 1 million chips needed to get there.. I'd love to see kabam's data on how many players get 10 crystals.. or 9.. etc.. it's probably 0... yeah, it's worse than that.
I don't really understand how a designer can be so disconnected from reality and the game. If you want people to enjoy and be motivated to try and push themselves to play more then things need to be designed to be achievable by a certain percentage of the player population, a higher percentage than what Kabam currently has it set at.
If you were truly a 300k MCOC player then none of this should be surprising to you, and arena grind is valuable for several reasons, namely gold and energon farming.
And don't derail my thread. I don't care about the other issues players currently have with arena. We're talking about this one.
You wanna talk about whatever else bothers you in arena, start your own discussion
What good does a promotion like this if you can't even get a single crystal even if you hardcore grind arena?
