What do you think of Titan Crystal?

Ashacekar

Titan crystal will require 20k titan shards. Organic way is 7* dupes which is 600 titan shards per dupe. Rest it will be from high difficulty content and whaling. The contents get updated every month. There are 3 sets of 7* champs. The first set goes to base pool in the next month and a new set gets added.

This crystal is available from October so Kabam does expect some part of community will be able to open it in October itself. It will take long time for average players. Since dupes is not the efficient way, there will some offers and events to get it till October.

As per current pool in october-november, it is sub par, getting those champs from basic pool would be better. But december-january content could be good due to summoner choices. It is good that this crystal doesn't share shards with 7* crystal, in that case i won't open it. But since it's exclusive, it's no loss to open but need to wait for the correct pool.

Just check the monthly contents of the titan crystal then decide whether to open it or wait. Invest the 20k titan shards which are rare to get an early and solid champ otherwise it won't be good investment. Also the ever changing content can make this crystal good or bad.

In Basic pool the probability to get your fav champ is 1/36 (Chance decreases with further addition from titan pool) and in titan it is 1/18 (Constant). So wait for correct pool and invest right. Note, titan crystal doesn't mean better champs but just next additions to basic 7* crystal so they necessarily may not be the best.

I'll reserve my judgement until I see how you actually acquire shards. They said that it'll initially be found in competitive content as well as truly challenging content (as well as offers). If it's a resource that only those at the very top of the BG or AW leaderboards are getting, then it's pointless for me. I don't compete there. I don't compete anywhere near there.

Same with the truly challenging content. While I really enjoyed EOP: Acceptande for the most part, I normally don't enjoy Everest content and if that's where the Titan shards are going to be found, then that too is pointless for me.

So chances are that the Titan crystals won't be available for me for a very long time, until those shards have kind of trickled down into the economy enough that I can actually pick them up from more than just the occasional 7* dupe. If that's the case, then their launch will be pretty much moot to me.

Same. While it's cool to see the vote and all, it literally isn't going to affect my account for at least a year.

IMO, it’s a…

I have no realistic shot at getting one before the latter half of this decade, so it’s like talking about how I would spend lottery winnings.

But if I wound up accumulating 20K of the most hard-to-get, exclusive shards in game, I’d want more assurance what I got would be absolutely mind-blowing and game-changing for my account.

One reason to care about Titan crystals, (and the main reason I care about them even though I won’t be able to open many of them at all - if any), is that these are the champions joining the basic pool in the near-ish future

So this is why the vote for the champions joining the pool is huge.

Clearly P2W crystals, they just added "offers" as the last option not to make a big fuss in the community.

PS: Uber super challenging content is also p2w in the post-apothecary era.

That's actually a really good point that I didn't think about. I just wish there was an easier way to vote than to just visit their Twitter page every other day in June or whatever the scheduling was. While Twitter is my most-used social media platform, I can't be bothered with "tuning in" to it according to a schedule. That's just not how I use it.

But hopefully we get some good champs out of the vote.

I think they would mostly give mid tier champs, if there's anyone good, it would be very obvious winner. People would know who the best champ is among any option Kabam gives. There is very less chance of a close battle. It is not as uncertain as summoner's choice. We have tier lists and good inception of champs.
Edit: Well what if someone uses twitter bots and spams the worst choice? Just got the thought

They’re all top champs in the vote. And top champs according to the community, not just Kabam

And Lagacy says that these champs are very hard to choose between

Crossbones is in it that's all that matters IMO

Okie, we can trust legacy. If they are top champs according to community already, it still won't be Herc-CGR battle, it would be Cap Marvel Movie-Knull sort of battle. That's fine too. But it's still tough to have a close battle in that mid to high category. There will be 6 options for a class, they would be top 6 excluding a few then. Maybe i should post on who are top 6 in class each class people want to see as options.
