Yeah still looking for the right balance of rank up material. After being desperate for class cats for so long most now have an abundance and now this alpha roadblock. Please find some balance @kabam
As in any game involving resource management, you have to decide how to use the scarce resources for optimal benefit. Once you reach a certain level, you will find at some point or other, that any resource can by the limiting factor. It could be T1a, T2a (to r4 the 5*), the T4cc, the T4b, the T3cc, or even the T2cc.
For me though, other than the obvious T2a being the limiting resource, I do run into resource issues involving either T1a, T4b and T2cc. Surprisingly though, T4cc isn't that scarce anymore, although I am short of T4 mystics because I have a whole bunch of Mystics.
I agree... not enough t1a.
I had about 30 t1a two weeks ago and now just 1.
At least for me I know it's because of all the new 5* champs they released. Pulling new 5* instead of duping them and the amount of t1a required is ridiculous! I never noticed that until all the 5* overflood.
5* R3 is very similar to 4*R5 with PI and catalysts requirements:
Take 4* R3 to R5 cost: 8x t4b + 3x t4c + 2x t1a
Take 5* R1 to R3 cost: 6x t4b (less) + 3x t4c (same) + 10x t1a (much more!!)
IMO - Need to give more t1a AND/OR reduce cost of 5*R1>R2 AND/OR increase the maximum capacity in inventory.
Every tier hits a wall when a resource becomes a problem. At the higher end you have t4c overflow and unopened crystals. 19 isn't even much compared to many more above me. T4b and alphas become a problem because you can only choose 1 from glory and always lagging in a resource. I use my glory for aq/aw potions.
I can rank up more to rank three I'm just waiting for ones who help my roster. I have all but one to at least rank two. I don't see a reason I'd ever be missing alphas with the current supply/demand in the game now.
None of this is intended as a slight to you specifically but as more of a psa in general so please understand I'm not attacking you personally. Ok, here's the reality, top 200 is nowhere near high end. Those of us in top 5 or even top 10 alliances are not competing against the likes of you but rather each other. We've put in a ridiculous amount of time and sometimes money to get where we are so hold the disdain for the elite.
As the game progresses you'll be where we are now so when you have 50+ t4c crystals and 300+ t4c shard crystals unopened because you already have expiring cats then you'll know what we are going through now. To r3 a single 5* is 5 t1a. I have 29 5*s, 6 at r4, 37 4* 5/50....believe me t1a is an issue. If you use glory for it you sacrifice t4b and vice versa.
Everyone says things like 'how can you complain when you've got all that" and "I'd just be happy to have that roster" but they are full of it. If that's the case then look at the people well below you and realize it's the exact same thing they say about you and yet the masses always complain. That's because this game is about progression whether you're #1 or #35,000. Without it what's the point?
So yes, t1a is a big issue for the real high end since t4b has become a little more available.
Hum news flash dude the top alliances 1-10 already coordinate when to starts wars
So you don't face ppl around you(or at least not in top ten)
So don't say you face the best or top cause you time it(idc but you say you face top teams lol)
