Give me a break. People arguing about this topic are really out of touch with reality.
Yes, thousands of people are out of touch with reality and you alone are the one sane player. That seems like a plausible reality.
The point potential of a 4* is slightly higher (about 30k in 6 hours vs 26kish in 6 hours) not much slower. For me personally I'd rather invest in 5*s because I don't have time to verse all my 5/50 4*s every 2 hours.
At the end of the day it's about the long game. We have to assume that t2A will become very available at some point in the future. It may take a year or more, but at some point 4*'s will become completely pointless as we are already seeing.
The lack of alphas is effecting my ability to rank up 5*s that will impact my attack teams. I recently pulled a 5* Hyperion and I had all the t2a, t4cc, t4b, and gold to rank him from 1/1 to 4/55 right when I pulled him. Of course I couldn't rank him up for almost 2 weeks because I needed 16 t1a...
Wish they would fix the t1a issues. T1a have not translated well with the updates.
I often have thousands saved for one purpose or another (4K units in stash right now hopefully will get me through 5.4)
After a certain level in this game, the only champs you should be ranking up are ones that are eventually r4 worthy at 5*. Don't bother ranking your 4*s past r3 (or even past r1) and don't rank up your 5*s past 1/25, cause they won't help you. Taking up all your 5*s to r2 or r3 is a waste if they're arena fodder anyway. Keep them at r1 level 25.
Things to consider when ranking up:
1. Will it help in AW?
2. AQ?
3. Questing?
If you're end-game most of the times the answer is no, so don't waste T1As ranking up arena fodder. Rank ups should be very top heavy focused. Every other champ can sit on the bench.
I honestly don't know what you're trying to say here. Like I said earlier, the more you post the less sense you make.
But damn honestly you had to wait almost two weeks to bring a character to the highest level possible in the game? That’s nuts 2 weeks is a long time when you compare it to how long you’d be waiting for that 7 t4cc which would be in the magnitude of months rather than weeks. Wait no it is not, 2 weeks is nothing in comparison, pardon my nonsense.
I agree with you on this, but also look at the amount of 5* shards you are about to be flooded with. The chance for you to get someone worthy of ranking is also going to be going up. Obviously, you'll have to pick which of the two, three or more rank worthy champs to level first.
And also the ability to rank 5 a 5* now will require and additional 6 t1a on top of the 16 t1a to get that champ to rank 4.
The need for t1a is rising but the supply has not changed.
I'd be happy waiting for high tier mats. They are only used in high tier level ups.
waiting on low tier mats that I need in every level up, however, is not fun or interactive.
Side A - It's not a shortage if you can get a guaranteed amount of a resource every week/month through various means. Stop being so impatient.
Side B - It's a shortage in relation to other top tier resources. T1A's are a shared resource among 8 different rankup possibilities (4* R2,R3,R4,R5; 5*R2,R3,R4,R5).
The key here is what is Kabam's intent for the game. Of course I don't know but I can look at what they have or have not done in the past. The only resources you cannot grind for on a daily basis are T1A's, T2A's, T4CC's, & T5B's. Before if we were short on a resource we could grind for it in one of the daily quests or for the higher tier resources we could move to a higher ranking alliance or increase your prestige in order to get more rewards from AQ.
Another example, "What you want more T2A's or more T5B's? Ok, here try the uncollected monthly quest which is hard but we'll give you 12,000 and 9,000 shards respectively". I imagine if I complained about T2A's before this most recent release I would've gotten the same answer, buy from the glory store, be patient, stop trying to rank up all your 5*'s at once. But we see that Kabam intends to make it more possible to rank up top champs.
Looking at it from another angle, is it really Kabam's intent to have top tier players hanging on to 10-20 or more unopened T4 Catalyst crystals, hundreds of T4CC shards crystals and in some cases having T4B's expiring because they intentionally limit one lower tier and the most shared resource (8 rankup possibilities). I, personally, find that hard to believe. Why would they offer even more top tier resource rewards when we're already hanging on to many of those type of rewards already without also providing a equal means of using those rewards. Isn't the point of doing the harder content to get the rewards we so badly need not getting more of what we already have (not talking about T2A's or T5B's FYI)?
Yeah except in that 2 weeks I spent all my glory on t1a alphas, bought all 5 t1a in the valor store, and just so happened to 100% master event. Not only does this highly slow all my other resource gathering, it will also hinder me for at least 3 to 4 weeks until I can rank another 5*.
If the valor store wasn't available it would have probably taken 5 to 6 weeks.
Imbalance the game. And as I said in another of these convos. Anybody hating on that suggestion is being argumentative for the sake of it (or rude or arrogant) I may have used a different word as that one did get shut down haha (and kabam technically acknowledged that we felt alphas was a talking point) then went ahead and conveniently left them out of any of this months somewhat amazing rewards on offer.
Theres obviously no point in us debating, were very far apart on the matter. I look at your logic and I fully understand why you have no alphas.
Obviously, you do what works for you but I would recommend maybe reconsidering your stance on 4* and 5*.
Good luck!
A little bump in the amount of t1a we earn is needed to keep pace with the newest update. We don't need to pull 15 a week and have them in overflow, but adding 4 more a month through proving grounds or added milestones to alpha arena wouldn't hurt, even throwing in shards with map 5 and 6 crystals would be nice.
The recent influx of t4b with the Cyber Monday offers has probably affected a lot of people's perception of the alpha shortage, having all that t4b and seeing the potential to rank up so many champs in a shorter time period and then being shutdown with a lack of alphas exaggerates it a little, especially for those that have recently pulled a good 5*.
When someone argues the person instead of the issue the discussion is over. You only ever argue the person so you ruin a lot of good debates in the forums.
If you follow the community and listen to those "pandering panderers" as you put it, you would know that everyone is talking about the t1a shortage. If everyone is posting about it, making podcasts about it and making videos about it then I am extremely confident that there are thousands of people suffering from the t1a shortage. Hell, 9000 people get a t4cc every week from AQ. But to WWII we are all "out of touch with reality".
Correct. At one time, all end game players were selling t1a in bunches because they didn't have the t4cc to rank anyone up. Once you get there you have a pretty fun few months of ranking a bunch of characters before feeling the t1a shortage (assuming they don't fix it).
Do you think Seatin truly has a problem not r3ing his 5* ant man? He could do the same with his 4( for less alpha) if he wanted an ant man at that power level but he refuses to cause “muh 5* are future”. Did you not pick up on the satire? I mean maybe he’s changed his mind and he’s no longer garbage tier and unworthy of consideration. Yeah Seatin’s taking the piss. His proposals make t1a farmable and more than double the intake. It Is so over the top it has it has to be satire. But don’t forget to like the video for more alphas...and comment on the video.
Did you watch DDD’s video? 5* at this time are a bad investment.
Podcasts? I don’t follow slycem so maybe he’s talked about it. but yeah I’d expect someone who drops thousands on crystals to be a little short on materials to rank champs at that rate of acquisition.
People want to rank 5s at the rate the can passively rank their 3s. Get real.
You honestly believe that Seatin's video was satire? That's so sad.
DDD's video was about 4* t1a cost to 5* and how to use them in arenas...because of the t1a shortage.
I guess you can make any video say want you want it to say if you try hard enough.
Just a lot less talking in circles to someone who isn't it the same position as those who need the t1a.
