That prior post was me ventingβ¦ now for real talk. I really enjoy the game a lot but Iβm unsure and donβt really believe crystals are random. Four instance, when you get a premium hero crystal and it almost lands on a decent four-star champ it stops abruptly prior to, on the other hand when itβs spinning too fast and almost lands on a good four-star champ it takes and takes slower and slower but rolls one pass that champ. From someone who spends a lot of money weekly on the game it seems unfair that mini that doesnβt spend a penny has way better chance than me in less time. Somethings off about that. Silver surfer not even interested because soon as I get my hopes up I will get him in three star in 12 months
The spinner isn't random, at least not in the same sense the crystal opening is random. The crystal drop is not generated by the spinner, it is generated basically by the game servers rolling mathematical dice (what everyone calls the RNG, or random number generator). When you open a PHC, the game servers roll some dice to decide if the drop is going to be a 2*, 3*, or 4*. Then, it rolls again to decide which champion it will be. At that point, your drop is decided. This happens *before* the spinner gets anywhere near stopping (there's a couple of ways to prove this: if you are in an alliance you will see someone else's drops in alliance chat before they do; if your drop is a champ you're getting for the very first time you'll notice a little "1" pop up next to your profile because the game is already telling you that you have a new profile picture, all the while the spinner is still happily spinning along).
The spinner is drama theater. The game chooses random champs to show up in the spinner, but it uses a completely different algorithm: you're more likely to see higher star tier champs, for example. But when the spinner is ready to stop, any "roll overs" or "stop shorts" are just the spinner aligning to your drop, because your drop was determined by a separate set of random rolls. If it looks "fixed" it is: the spinner is forced to stop on the drop already determined by the servers.
To put it another way, imagine the wheel was completely empty, and then it spun around, rolling over empty spaces and then finally landing on another empty space, and as soon as the wheel stopped a champion appeared there. That's *actually* what's really happening, except those empty spaces are filled with random portraits of MCOC champs that have nothing to do with your crystal.
the most Perfect answer ever to a crystal's opening, while there are some people on the forums who say that the champion is decided as soon as you buy the crystal and all sorts of nonsense..... I didnt have a good justification to counter their arguments at that time But liked it man, your comment was the exact answer i was looking for ππ
@DNA3000 I would like to see your profile(must be really insane), can you please tell me your in-game name???
V4 sounds really interesting. Loving the idea that I can rank up and try out champs that I normally can't use/don't own as 5 and 6. It's like a testing ground to learn how to use them/decide if we want to invest in them when we do pull them as 5 or 6 star.
Best part of the new variant will be that using lower * champs will actually give you a good return when using health pots compared to what little you get from dumping them into 6* and 5*s
I am hoping we get a free 2* Silver Surfer. It won't be game changing, but would be a kind gesture. This in addition to that being a couple 4* Crystals, one 5* crystal, and some 6* shards/ Just a thought, but I'm honestly dreaming to see this all come about.
I think some of you are missing the point. This is permanent content, not something that has to be done over a course of a month. You sold your 2*s? Well that sucks, but you got all the time in the world to build it up again through normal game play and all the PHCs you can get.
The cost of ranking up a 2* vs the cost of ranking up a 5* is not even comparable. Not to mention T1 and 2 class cats are pretty easy to come by with the glory store having new ones daily/fairly cheap.
Iβm one of those suckers who sold all his champs at one time. For me it was 18 months ago, I sold everything.........everything I could at least, 5*βs couldnβt be sold, neither could 6*βs.....my wife wished it was possible though back then. Iβve made a significant comeback, got back all those 2*βs, not yet at max sig, but getting there. The 1* champ department though π€π thatβs going to be a problem, since I canβt get them through the daily cavalier crystal.
Can you elaborate more on the 1 star and 2 star viability in variant 4? Will they be optional or are they a must?
They will be a requirement. For those that are no longer getting 1-Star Champions, there will be ways to obtain them in the future, and also remember that this is permanent Content! So you'll have lots of time to rebuild a 1 and 2 Star Roster.
I sincerely hope that rebuilding a 1* roster will not be dependent on spending units/money.
Is the gifting event gonna be like the Chinese New year event for gifting where u get a calendar with tickets or like it has been in the past. If it's the same as the last couple years, how have u resolved the credit card fraud issue?

If they had resolved the credit card fraud Iβd imagine they would have opened gifting back up again instead of just for this event. Although not commenting could mean they donβt want to tip off potential criminals in order to catch them.

Perhaps, but if so why not reinstate the gifting badge permanently?
y must gifts be based on progression:( currently stuck on lines in the sand ( Chap 5.2.4) and cant move on so this is kinda disappointing for me
You still got some time to push through, mate! You can do it!
any tips bro?
Message me on line, I can help you out if you want. Youβll have to remind me what that path is, I did it ages ago when it first came out. Line name is same as here.
Just a quick question, does anyone know if Variant #4 will be released later today alongside the new monthly event quest or? Also will there be special objectives at all like last month cause they were awesome @Kabam Miike
So...When does the Halls of Heroes start? You'd think with it being a weekly thing they would start it along side the regular monthly event quest and run it for 4 or 5 weeks
