high tier players:"Just do map5/glory duh"
later.....
High tier players:" There is a shortage of t1a"
Lower tier players: "glory store/map 3"
The tables have turned.....
It's simple.
In line, ask your Alliance if anyone is short on T1A.
When the wave of people says they are, realize you should bite your words.
Go ahead and explai nto your mates why they are wrong and aren't short in T1A.
Cheers.
It’s that same tired line I keep hearing, my favorite was When Seatin’s progression video from today popped up in my auto play feed and he was like “muh alpha shortage” while having 3 in overflow and every 5 at r2. He also had a lot of t4b in overflow showing he is mismanaging his rank ups by not throwing r3s or 5/50 into his upgrade cycle to balance out his stash with acquisition rate between t1a and t4b since he himself said he was solely focused on 5s.
It’s mob think, the parroting lemmings are trapped within their own narrative with no way out because they fail to apply a minor amount of thought toward their rank ups . Anyways enjoy t1a’s increased availability after next week, I will as well.
This is exactly the issue plain and simple.. and its by design. Great way to stretch the game for profit. Nothing else needs to be said really. When ppl start ranking 5s they will understand this post
I only propose they make the 3-5 t1a in glory cheaper, I can only buy 4 a week and 5 biweekly, if I could buy 5 with a little surplus that would be nice. 2. Add a milestone for t4b and catalyst clash arena with a t1a milestone. Or they could simply reduce cost of 5* t1a out.
I'm so sick of this. Whether or not there should be an alpha shortage, to say "in reality there isn't one." is nonsense. Lots of people are short on alphas. Lots and lots of them. No one is complaining because they can't rank an entire roster per month. People aren't complaining because there isn't a shortage. They are complaining because t1 alphas used to be so plentiful that they didn't know what to do with them and now they are the constant bottleneck. I'm OK with them being the bottleneck if that's what the game team decides. Personally all I'm asking for is t1 alpha fragments to be put in things so that I'm not forever stuck with 1/2 an alpha on frags. Don't think that's too much to ask. But stop saying there isn't a shortage. Huge groups of the community find that there is a shortage but there isn't one because **** GW and Coathang3r say it doesn't exist.
There isn’t a shortage, you just want more be honest.
Monthly You had
3 from AQ
2 from EQ
3 from arenas
Extra came if you got lucky with map crystals.
Even if I used 100% of my glory on Alphas it wouldn't be like it was. But I'm not calling for it to be like it was. Just asked for a little easing on the choke hold. But we are going in circles. Your version of what it was like is false. You were telling me what it was like for me and it wasn't that way. So there isn't really any point in talking past each other anymore
Actually I denied playing map 3 at the time which was accurate. I'll admit I wasn't thinking about the map 3 crystals in milestones at the time
They all expect to rank a 5* to r4 daily by the way they are crying and whinging.
Just find some tissues to hand out to them all as they can't stop crying about it
To be honest, I did the calculations myself recently and I have to conclude that T1 Alphas are not less available than they used to be. They are actually more available when you factor in glory purchases. And I don't mean spending all your glory on T1A. I mean if you spend a relatively small amount of glory you can buy more T1A than you were going to earn if you are an alliance in the expert tier doing Map 5x5 and were receiving the rewards you would have gotten under season three rules. The glory you would have remaining would still be more valuable than the other rewards you would have gotten in S3. Therefore, T1A is more available without any penalty relative to season three.
People are running into T1A shortages because a) they don't want to buy T1A with glory which is their prerogative but that's a self-inflicted shortage, and b) 5* champions are vastly easier to get than in AQ season three, and those rank up costs place a vastly higher demand on T1A. There was never a time when T1Alphas were so plentiful that it was easier to upgrade 5* champions then than now.
To put numbers to this, an alliance in the expert tier under S4 would have probably been earning about 3 T1 Alphas every two AQ weeks in terms of direct rewards and Map 3 fragments. It would cost about 1125 glory every two weeks to equal S3's T1A earning rate. That's a very small expenditure, and the remaining glory is still far more valuable than the original S3 rewards you were likely to get. It is possible to get just as much or more T1A in S4 as we did in S3, and still get more everything else (more or less) with glory purchases. By definition, that means T1A is more available.
But if it is not purchased, you'll end up with less. That's frankly not the game's fault. If anyone has numbers that contradict this, I'm all ears.
The problem is, if you have a Resource that you make more available when it is already quite abundant, that will a) cause an imbalance with other Resources, b) affect the whole system designed on acquiring them, and c) accelerate growth beyond what is projected.
