I can't say it's true with 100% certainty so let's all try to temper our excitement a bit. I know it's not easy!

I told my kids that when the event came I was going to open everything and not let them watch. They got legitimately pissed at me.
That being said, we need to make sure we give time for each person to open one and not get locked out before we go nuts opening everything.

If it is a 7 day, we should open one on day one, to make sure everyone is in the prize pool. We should consider holding our quest, free, alliance quest and golden for crystal crash one day, and the rest for duplicate one day events.
I assume both of those would fall within the 7 day window.
That should maximize our potential prizes, unless there's a 3 day crystal or dup in play...

I posted that concept on the alliance board. Everyone should open one free and that's it until everyone is in and we get everything sorted out. There will be no exceptions and no excuses, if anyone can't follow that I'll have no choice but to kick them.

Crystal crash is also tomorrow so that makes that one easier. And the 3 day events that are expected to take place during the 7 days are perfect series and another rankup push. If that's true then there's no need to hold once everyone is in, other than a few crystals for dupe day.

"Hey kids, who wants to individually spin 900 crystals?"
We may want to not go balls to wall even after everyone gets in just in case. If they changed their pattern (or whatever the website was basing their mid-sept idea from) then who knows what else that website is showing will change suddenly.
Also, for the next dupe day, any YJ and Antmans you earned last night and today will still be available to be claimed.

They seem to be fairly accurate for the immediate future. But we can discuss

Keep your expectations in check peoples. We can't know for sure it'll happen and even if it does happen there is no guarantee that we can hit any meaningful rewards. Even with the close to 2 million points we have the top prize could easily be set at 5 million.

If it is a 7 day event, unless there is a reward that we really need right away, there is no harm in some of us waiting. There is nothing to be gained by everyone opening everything when you give the OK. For Arena wins, questing, and the other events were we need to use every minute to reach an award I understand going all out to start.
I am not saying we all need to hold for the first 6 days, but to be on the safe side we should hold some.
guitarmonkiy
Footballguy
I agree. Maybe once everyone is in we give a set number for people to open? Like 5 PHCs or something? I'm good with whatever majority wants here

Once the 7-day event starts, there should be absolutely no rush. Everyone should open a free crystal or quest crystal, or something really small, and wait until we get overlapping events (1-day crystal or dupe)

New message in game about getting 3* shards when you sell a 2*, and 4* shards when you dupe a 3* or 4*. I checked selling my 2* Capn who is not leveled and it would get me 21 shards, and selling Star Lord who is 3/1 would get me 64 shards.
This was a short time only thing, so that makes me think that the 7 day crystal event really may be tomorrow to get people more shards from opening crystals.

I'm gonna feel like a real jerk if I'm wrong about this lol
On the shards, could sell Antman & YellowJacket and then grind to replace them.
Debating selling most of my regular hero 2*'s. Don't really use them much, plus most if not all will get replaced during crystal event. Could just resell again I guess. if you get 21 shards, then about 96 basic 2*'s equals a 3* crystal. I've got that easy with so many crystals saved.

Anyone else have a Deadpool? Right now I have him at level 4 rank 10 and his HP goes almost nowhere! Any idea what it may max at?
Any idea how long this selling of 2*'s thing may last?

Does anyone know how long the shard thing is gonna last? The 2* sale and 3* dupe shard collection I mean. If it's only for say 3 days it creates a bit of a dilemna. If you get enough 3* dupes you can get a 4* crystal which obviously would be great for the event, however we would have to be opening them within the next two days. Any idea?

I guess it also comes down to how many shards you get for a 3* dupe
ETA:
The quantity of Crystal Shards that you receive is determined as follows:
· Dupe Payout: 55 shards
· Selling a Rank 1: 20 shards + 1 shard per Champion level
· Selling a Rank 2: 30 shards + 1 shard per Champion level
· Selling a Rank 3: 55 shards + 1 shard per Champion level
· Selling a Rank 4: 95 shards + 1 shard per Champion level
· Selling a Rank 5: 175 shards + 1 shard per Champion level
Example #1: If you are selling a 2-star Champion at Rank 3 level 27, you will receive 55 3-Star Crystal Shards and an additional 27 3-Star Crystal Shards based on your Champion level.
Example #2: If you are a player that duplicates a 3-Star Champion, you will receive 55 4-star Crystal Shards.

What is rank 4 and 5? Its just for selling 2*s, makes no sense.
Also the 3* dupes don't count for punisher and UC.

Better to get that than just have them sitting there doing nothing though. Between PHC's and dailies & 2*'s, I've got probably 100 2*'s to replace the ones I sell right there.
May not sell them tho, as you said low return.

See my post a few posts ago about the shard payment. They are easy to replace, but if you've ranked them up you'd have to start all over. If you never lose them it's obviously not a big deal, but if they're ranked up high, that's a lot of ISO and gold gone to waste to get a 3* crystal or 2

Well it appears all the crystal event talk may have been much ado about nothing. Ad0ra posted this weeks update which includes new arena percentage ranks (which is awesome) and that a 7-day defeat magneto event starts tomorrow. I'm assuming that means no crystal crash but could be wrong. If it does mean that, then it's freakin ridiculous. It's been way too long, and then to replace it with another corny event like defeat magneto? Ugh

If it makes you feel any better, we all think you're a jerk even if you're right about it!

We can open them on the next dupe day? Gets us to the 2nd PHC reward and everyone gets some shards.

You get +1975 class ISO for 2* dupes. 90 2* dupes = 178k class ISO (converts to 267k ISO if used on the right class). Seems like a lot of ISO to miss out on for a 3* crystal. 36k gold too. And obviously your 2* army is reset to level 1 (might not matter to you).
The 4* shards for duping 3*s is awesome though and I think we all should open crystals before August 31st like hulk said, event or not.

FWIW the 34471 site already changed the crystal event. However they do have a 3 day crystal crash slated to start Wednesday.

I don't use my 2*s at all at this point. I sold all of them and it got me 1/2 way to a 3* crystal, lol. But if I can get all the way to the 3* crystal prior to the 31st, then I'll get more 4* shards.
Its all about 4* shards for us imo.
I never do the 3* tourneys though, might be different if you do.

I wrote a post that hopefully accurately summerizes how the new arena prize payout will effect things.

Well it's definitely an incentive to get 200K points in the 4-star Arena.
The 3-star Arena payouts look much tougher to me. Last one I barely played (just 5K points) and was about 150K in place. So unless everyone above me really played, there's no way they are giving out as many 3-star champions (not that they are really useful for anything anymore anyway).
More than anything there at a really bad place right now. There's no way to meaningful compete in the 4-star Arena since the point totals are so skewed to leveled 4-star champions and everyone's been playing enough so the 3-star champions are basically worthless as they really won't help you in the 4-star Arena. Plus once you have a couple 4-stars, they don't meaningfully help in gameplay.

Seems like the answer might be a dedicated 4* arena ( similar to the current 3* arena ) where you can only use 3* champs, with a similar prize schedule, only with 4* champs.
The typical non-paying method of building your roster was to get a good set of 2*, compete in the 3* arena, and build a stable of 3* until you could compete in the 4* arena. As it currently stands, nobody with primarily 3* champs can compete in the 4* arena, so a new method of building a competitive roster should be introduced, and it seems to me the best way is to duplicate the prior method that has worked for most of us.

You said what I was thinking much more succinctly than I did (having a jet-lagged 3-year old will do that to you).
My guess is they release the 5-stars and do something like that, but it can't get here quickly enough. It also doesn't helps that all the alliance rewards are titled so much towards the top, but that's another story.
guitarmonkiy
Footballguy
So if we do decide to open crystals for the shards before the event, are we still gonna hold the 4* crystals until the event?
UOFI_316
Footballguy
So open only 3*s during the 3 day to get the 4* shards and see what that gets us? From the spreadsheet we have 23 3* crystals.
Or do we say screw the 7 day event carrot that has been dangling and open everything since some of the PHC will be 3*s. Plus those that want to sell off their 2* can still do it for shards. With a score above 2m I would hope we get up pretty high on the rank reward list.
UOFI_316
Footballguy
If we hold 4* then we should only open those that will result in the 3* dupes for shards, so no arena and alliance crystals since the Pun and UC dupes don't count for shards. And then none of the other ones (free, gold, alliance quest...).
On the flip side, if we open half of our points now, and save half are we screwing ourselves? If we just go all out now we might get a high rank reward, if we split we might not reach the higher rewards for the 7 day.

I don't have any 3* so I'd have to open my PHCs. Wouldn't really mind if I can get a good amount of 4* shards out of it.
