    Seems like Kabam aren’t immune to global inflation 😂

    Well, not many countries has had 100% inflation, not global either…
    So in my opinion a mistake or a really bad move…

    And it's not actually the first time they increase the price on these particular offers, a couple of months ago they went from 4.99 to 5.99 for no reason, people in the forums were saying it was because of monetary global changes or whatever, but these nexuses were the Only deals that increased their price. Ok it was just one euro, but still. And now, double? No. Just, no.

    It was already a lot to routinely drop $10 on 2 of these whenever they are available. Now it would be $20 for the same thing and no difference in drop rate. What the F? And now that they are twice as much the limit has been upped to 3? This game must be in its last gasps if they are restorting to such shameless tactics to squeeze the last bit of money out of us while they can.

    If the price stays this way, and if you re hunting for a particular champ from it, it will be now better to buy the daily cav nexus of the same class.

    I love these crystals but not purchasing them this time. I don’t want to contribute to normalising this price point.

    I'm skeptical of the drop rates. Nexus cavs have 3% 6*, 16% 5*
    I opened 6 and saw no 5* or 6*s
    (There's a 2% chance for 18 rolls to miss on a 19% chance for a 5*/6*)

    Either I'm unlucky, or the drop rates are wrong.

    I’ve opened batches of 4 nexus crystals multiple sometimes. I’ve had occasions of nothing but 3* and occasions where I’ve had 3x 6* and a 5*. Sometimes randomness works in our favour, sometimes it doesn’t. Odds are mostly it doesn’t but it does feel nice when it does.

    All that’s to say I think you were unlucky.

    I did it instinctively before I realized the price increase. Last time I buy these. In the immortal words of George W. Bush: “… fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.”

    How are they fooling u if the price is right there...

    Hopefully a bug.. When trying to buy it says 'Back to School Mythic pack'.. May be the price was supposed to be for some mythic crystal bundle not for the nexus crystal pack..

    Not buying it for this price though..

    Could be an adaption to inflation but that’s unlikely

    Hey everyone,
    Just taking a moment to address this.

    There isn't anything fishy afoot, here; this price was intentional. Different deals have different prices. It's also why prices are clearly displayed and require a second stage of confirmation (with the price displayed a second time).

    That being said, we are taking your feedback to the team and letting them know the general sentiment regarding this deal! Thank you for taking the time to share with us.

    I suppose they will say the term “Mythic” isn’t used in the context it has been used for the past couple of years in game, but rather refers to how good the champs in the crystal are.

    Like Ant-Man, for example. Or OGIM. Or Elektra.

    Oh please that’s a load of bull. It is fishy and a bait and switch. This deal has always been 5 bucks for 2 then all of a sudden you double it. It is fishy

    The same drop rates, and it’s just more expensive? Really? Think you may of shot yourselves with the is one. Possibly if drop rates where higher I could maybe understand. But the pool isn’t amazing. If anyone have purchased this I would question it. Double the price for the same crystal….. really?

    They could have thrown in a couple 30% boosts to make it worth it, lol.

    Feels like an error. You can buy this 3 times for £27 and get x6 nexus crystals, but the bundle is £26 and you only get x5 cavalier crystals.

    Right? The fact that they offer side-by-side a pack for $30 USD with 5 cav crystals, or $30 for 6 nexus cav crystals? The sweetener for the 5 cav pack is supposed to be a few boosts that keep expiring in my stash and 30,000 basic ISO? Hard pass.

    It would be even funnier if the nexus Cavs were properly priced, making it $30 for 5 cavs vs $15 for 6 nexus cavs.

    I’m just having a hard time understanding what it is about this pool that led the game team to decide this was the time to test increased prices. The pool is moderately better than usual if you don’t already have any of the top options in it, but all of these nexus deals have some top options. The drop rates are identical, so even if you’re lucky enough to pull a good champion, you still have terrible odds of getting them at a useful rarity. I just don’t see what’s special about this.

    I appreciate the clarification that this was an intentional decision by the game team, but I’d love to know what their reasoning was on it. Because at least to me, it doesn’t matter how good the crystal pool is if the drop rates are still what they are today. The current drop rates are worth $5 USD for 2 nexus crystals.

    This^^^^. Well said.

    Clarification is 100% appreciated! However, i'm out on the crystals as well!
