on beta there was also only 1 platinum kit in the 2nd rival but none in the first
Fingers crossed for this to happen at the live servers too. The rival dude at least gave us the golden upgrade eventually.
On a more positive note. The rival is actually surprisingly "easy" this time. Thankfully he doesn't require us to "break" traditional strategies for playing the event. On top of that multiple rival dude's quests simultaneously. The boosters greatly enhanced the gameplay.
On a more negative end. The swap from the main building's selection kit with a mediocre 2x2 building, for opening all chests at the end of any town, is extremely unfortunate. As it removed the ability to play more relaxed. Making it harder for those with demanding full time jobs. Who can not play on mobile
