Re: The New Ascension Seems Like One of the Worst Additions to the Game
I am in a similar boat. I work hard and keep up with content to keep my roster relevant despite not spending much. Saving titans for new champs has somewhat allowed me to play with the most relevant characters but now, I just won't be able to upgrade them to max level at all
Re: Have Titans Lost All Value?
Exactly.
It feels awful.
And even for the whales, is this such a great thing?
Maybe exclusive ascension is great for them.
But will they care about opening titans, if they can only pull a champ they already got through the featured, or a champ they didn't from the featured which means they can't ascend.
Yes, maybe the whales will be happy to dupe or get extra sigs on their ascendable champ they got through the featured, but that still dilutes the experience of opening titans.
Re: The New Ascension Seems Like One of the Worst Additions to the Game
I spend on average about £20-25 per month across the year including the monthly sigil sub. Maybe a bit more but not much. I feel that plus arena and content grinding allows me not to swim with the big boys per se, but at least feel like I’m skirting round the edges. It means I have a roster that can cope with most if not all content out there (not the skill I hasten to add, just the content), and I’m happy where I’m at.
Once ascension hits that kind of spending won’t touch the sides, so where’s my motivation to spend anything at all? There is none, I’m not getting close to end game rosters and I have no desire to spend that kind of money on the game even if I had it.
Once 9.4 comes and goes so will the monthly sub. I might do a platinum track depending on the champ but that’s it. No cyber spending, no banquet spending. I can accept that it’s back to casual gameplay and I’ll find one thing else to spend my money on.
Re: Have Titans Lost All Value?
Lost all value? Could they lose something they barely ever had?
In all seriousness though. Yes, mostly. They still have value in that you can get the champion but now the champion is only one fraction of the puzzle instead of half of it.
Before you just needed the champ and rank up mats.
Now you need the champs, rank up mats, their token, the class tokens, and dust. One of which is blocked for 99% players.
So if we convert my arbitrary metrics into arbitrary numbers. If the titan was 50% valuable before it is now 20% value
Re: Have Titans Lost All Value?
Honestly, great question. I’ve been saving titans for Dr strange. I’m probably still going to rank him, but I’m way less excited for opening titans from here on out. The champs will hit a ceiling and I won’t be able to ascend them until freaking 2027. This feels awful
Have Titans Lost All Value?
If the only way to ascend new champs now is via the featured crystal, what is the point of non-whales caring about titans?
Why would people invest in new champs they can't ascend but other players can ascend?
Instead, doesn't it make sense to invest in champs we can ascend, and ban or ignore the new champs that only whales can ascend?
And so, won't we stop caring about titans now?
Re: The New Ascension Seems Like One of the Worst Additions to the Game
And that just for first ascension. I'm pretty sure higher levels require even more tokens 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Re: The New Ascension Seems Like One of the Worst Additions to the Game
🤮 36000 units?! I did not realise it was that bad. Who approves this? Kabam please do something. At this point I'd rather we get Serpent 2.0 than Ascension. How can they have a stream where they actually try to pass this off as a good thing? it's gross
