WHY?!

Every single Titan crystal I’ve opened is someone no one likes to actually play. A month ago I griped and asked about a mercy rule. So the very next time I get a Titan I hold it til the new batch(since I got crossbones then Jabari twice in a row. Only to have you guys drop THING on me this time. What is it with the old or not fun champs in this crystal? Why is it every time I’ve opened one this is how it goes? This is bs. Flat out. I’m not playing the game in 2024 to acquire the newest rarity of crossbones, Jabari panther, or thing! I play at such a low level alliance I never see Titan shards. If it is t Everest or dupes I get nothing and for that effort I still come up with champs that aren’t keeping my attention on playing. Tell me the motive in letting that happen 5 or 6 times in a row when these shards are so hard to acquire. If think you’d want to keep most of us excited but it certainly doesn’t appear that way filling you loom at the pulls from that crystal on my account. Guess kabam doesn’t need casual spenders anymore

Better than my Zero.

I love Jabari Panther. She's awesome. There are tons of CB players out there as well.

Unfortunately for both you and Kabam, Titan crystals are powered by random number generators, not script writers. They cannot generate just the right drops to maximize the excitement of every single player that opens them.

Sure so kill mine with every single one I open. The things might as well not exist on my account if I can’t get anything new ever. Like just remove it so I don’t get fomo and I you can jack me around on things that only take a week or two instead of 6. I was so mad I literally screamed at the phone. I haven’t got a new champ unless I saved a ton of shards once they hit the 6* featured. Zero new champs since any were made into 7* versions. But they’re totally happy to let me spend 300-499 and give me the 6*. It’s soul crushing when it’s every damn time and to be honest they’ve literally murdered any excitement I have for this game. I do all content as soon as it comes out. I did all three incursion rooms yesterday as an example.bum just mad man. I’m mad that I see all my alliance mates pulling the newest champs and the only teammate to continuously get shafted time after time is me. One gd time give me a new champ as a 7* JUST ONCE

PantherusNZ

So you pulled 3 great champs at a high rarity, that are genuinely useful in multiple parts of content, and you're mad that you haven't pulled the brand new champs??

Nichoas_1

@PantherusNZ please tell me where an unduped crossbones and thing are useful when they’ve long been ranked up as 6* champs at sig 200. Please tell me how having them as 7* is somehow doing anything for my account. I’ll wait

Pikolu

Can't awaken and sig up a champion if you don't have them. You always have to first get the champion before you can awaken them.

Folkvangr

So their utility is sitting on his account until he manages to dupe them? Lol

Pikolu

Crossbones still has DAAR unawakened and has a ton of damage too. I quite enjoy my r2 crossbones and he was my MVP for paragon gauntlet merc objective.

I'm sorry to see you've had some unhappy RNG-time.

Maybe it's worth reiterating, because this isn't the only place I've seen this today: Titan Crystals haven't never been labeled as the place to get the newest or most powerful 7-Star Champions. But they are a first opportunity to get most Champs when they are newly released as a 7-star. Titan Crystals are also an important piece of the pie in allowing Summoners to more specifically target their intended champ acquisition, having a smaller pool to pull from.

GinjabredMonsta

You’ve been busy today it seems

ChaosMax1012

Thats rough man. If it makes you feel better, 7* pool got the titan champions added from the last crystal, which you still have a chance at getting something good.

Kabam Jax

It's been a week.

*looks at calendar*

It's only TUESDAY?!

Nichoas_1

@kabamJaxSucks i get that 100% but have never pulled anything that keeps the game fresh or fun from those. It’s the hardest thing to grind out and has consistently left me feeling bitter about the time to acquire them much less waiting for a new pool. Three guys on my team opened right before me. Kushala, and two white tigers in a row on the alliance feed. Next up is me with thing. Like this is the first chance to try to get newer champs…except I buy half the early access bundles also and NEVER get the 7* champ. If I do get a 7* they are from the basic pool even in featured paragon crystals. My frustration with this is through the roof.

Wong_98

You actually tagged that account? Lmfaoooo

DNA3000

So are you saying you'd be happier if you got those drops and they didn't, or are you saying everyone should be getting those drops?

Or are you saying if you feel frustrated with your crystal openings you should be able to open a support ticket and say "I'm frustrated" and expect customer support to give you another crystal?

Kabam didn't put frustration into the crystal. They put champions into the crystal. And some champs some people will want and some champs some people will want less for various circumstantial or preference reasons. That's just how random crystals work. If you're asking for them to not be random, they aren't ever going to be. Players simply have to accept what drops out of them and make the most of what they get. That's not an incidental property of the game.

Titan crystal drops are not the only things players get frustrated over. They get frustrated over not even being able to acquire enough Titan shards to even open a Titan crystal. They get frustrated over not having enough catalysts or ISO to rank up the champ they do get from crystals. They get frustrated over not being able to do the content they need to do to get the stuff they need. They get frustrated over watching other players spend money to get things that are otherwise difficult to get in the game. They get frustrated when they place 501 in the arenas.

Every frustration point in the game is a challenge. How you deal with those challenges determine how well you ultimately progress in the game. What feels frustrating to some is an accomplishment to overcome for others. We can't eliminate the frustrations in the game without also making it pointless to play.

I really don't know why this account is still taggable but it makes me blow air out of my nose slightly harder than I normally would when I see people accidentally tag it

Pikolu

Bold to assume it was an accident

ahmynuts

I'm giving the benefit of the doubt because when you tag someone on mobile you can press enter to autocomplete it with the first one in the list so while unlikely. It's possible

G-Hun-Gear

I get you. But it still feels bad pulling literally the worst option from a crystal that is so hard to come by…

I mean, Titan shards are MUCH rarer than 7* crystal shards… AND you need more of them. For reference: I have opened a total of 13 7* crystals, before being able to open my first Titan…

And seeing all the great options automatically gets you hyped up! So it’s really difficult to see why such “meh” options are put in between, in a crystal this rare.

Nichoas_1

Someone tell me how to actually tag Jax then cause that sucks tag is the only one that comes up

G-Hun-Gear

What was wrong with the old system, where the “Featured Crystal” required the same resource as the normal Crystal, just more of it.

ChaosMax1012

There isn’t a way to actually tag Kabam Jax is probably why he went to that one.

Pikolu

@DNA3000 i don’t like how you guys seem to think no one should express anger or frustration. I over come all those other pain points with patience. You can’t be any more patient than holding shards and then still getting the shaft. I have materials for FIVE r2 champs rn and I have zero champs id like to use them on because I can’t acquire anything I haven’t already ranked high up in 6* ratity. So to keep getting the shaft time after time going on a year now is not only bs but it’s sucking the fun out of the game. Completing necropolis 100% to get champs from 2017 or before 2023 ain’t it my dude. I’ve sunk thousands into this game in the last 6 months and I have zero champs from the last year as 7* rarity. Let that sink in and tell me that you can keep having fun.

Rookiie

Actually there is @Kabam Jax wassup

DNA3000

Players would save up huge amounts of those resources to try to save up enough shots at the featured crystal to essentially make it a guaranteed shot at the new champs in it.

When there's only one currency, you have to balance it around only one critical constraint criteria. If you want players to have more 6* pulls, you increase the number of 6* shards. But doing so also increases the probability of them landing the new champs in the featured. If you want to lower those odds, you either have to lower the total amount of shards players get, which also lowers the total amount of pulls they get overall, or you have to increase the cost of the crystal by very large amounts.

Since the devs wanted to be able to set the availability of 7* champs and shots at new champs independently, they had to separate the currency used to acquire both.

Danemo666

Maybe if you're this unhappy with RNG and spending thousands then you should stop playing the game. I understand it's disappointing when you don't get what you want from crystals, especially those that can take so much time to build up. But it's the way life is, you can't always get what you want.

G-Hun-Gear

Yeah, on mobile it doesn’t show up, so usually I tag Miike and then manually edit to Jax… ^^
