When and at what level do you think Kabam will still raising the star system? 10*? 20*? And what will replace it if anything? My theory is that the game will just end before they would’ve stopped probably by 15-16*. Sorry if there’s been leaks or smth on this I have no clue

    The slow release of 7 stars is explicit to slow down this creep. It's also likely that we'll get additional levels of ascension at some point

    There were no slow release. I'm definitely not s whale, but I'm hoarding my 7* shards because I have everything from the base pool. I never had the same "issue" with 6*.

    If they actually want to release 7*s slowly they'll instead focus on releasing new ranks slower.

    7* launched in April 2023, and in 2 years 3 months we have r4 getting quite common.

    6* launched in 2017 December and I believe even 6* r3 weren't even a thing in 2019 dec. 6* r4 first launched in 2021 December or late right, which is like 4 years after 6* release.

    Is anything's happening we are just fastening this creep, lol. And this banquet if they start slow selling r5 materials (they surely will) we get 8* by 2027 mid to end lol.

    You have to keep in mind they added an extra rank to 7* tho so it had to speed up to some extent.

    Still if everything goes like how I predict it (r5 this banquet, r6 next banquet) then by mid 2027 we have 8*s, worst case late 2027.

    6* released in 2017 dec and we got 7* in 2023 - that's 5.5 year gap compared to 4 (worst case 4.5) years gap between 7* and 8*.

    Do you happen to know how long we had 6r5 to play with until 7* were released?

    idk exactly, all I know was when I returned on jan 2023, they nerfed revive farm and gave peasants access to first r5 via carina vol 3 challenge, Maybe I guess they we introduced in banquet 2022? and april 2023 wehad 7*s

    Yeah, everything from the base pool. There are still incredibly desirable champions not release as 7 stars and some that are only available occasionally. Well probably not get most of them for another couple years and even then there will be new titan stuff

    And how long after 7s were released did ascended 6s become obsolete?
    So even after we get the first 8R1s, we're looking at another 2 years of 7s being equal to or better than 8s.
    All that to say, your sig 200 7* Serpent or DThanos ain't going to be useless for quite some time, we're talking like 4-5 years from now.

    Thinking about 8* genuinely makes me depressed. I hate holding my breath to see if my favorite champs will be paywalled as they release. Slowly recollecting everyone I’ve spent 5 years gathering
  • BringPopcornBringPopcorn Member Posts: 10,082 ★★★★★
    15*s lol that would be like 30 years away....
    Sorry but I gotta assume OP.is just trolling at this point. Makes a post asking for a rank up for act 6 and then a post talking about power creep

    No such thing as 10 stars. Ascension will be the future "star levels" just like how future fight does it.
  • ButtehrsButtehrs Member Posts: 8,493 ★★★★★
    If there is no way to make you characters stronger, then the game wouldn't last much longer. You'd be fighting the same level of difficulty each and every fight outside of the kits themselves. Characters have to continue to get stronger and that means more star levels. 8*, 10*, 15* all will happen as long as their game stays going. It is inevitable. Its just a matter of time. But hopefully, not too quick.

    Why do ascensions? That is a huge wasted opportunity for money because kabam has people drop large money for champions like 7* NF, torch...etc. if they do 8*s, they can do the same then, and so on with 9*s and stuff. If you do ascensions, then people won't be spending money to collect new champions, and kabam wouldnt be able to sell and shards that arent titan shards. Would be a huge mistake monetization-wise for a gacha game to kill the gacha system for their endgame players.

    Add rank up material's to Ascension. Make it exclusive behind endgame content. Sell that exclusive material in sales for the whales. Make money.
  • Herbal_TaxmanHerbal_Taxman Member Posts: 2,690 ★★★★★
    For those that remember, initial six star acquisition was slow. Very slow. I like the fact that Kabam has fo r the other way with sevens, even if one result is making the basic crystal far less valuable than it used to be.

    It's worse then that 7*s released June of 23 not April

    Actually I think we would get ascended 7*s before 8*s come out they can still do 7* Ascension like how they did 6*s with out having released the 8*s right away it will make 7*s still the best champions while they slow release the 8*s since each rank is +30% if they wanted to make 7* Ascension equivalent of a 8* high r2 that would just be 75% boost or they could lower it to a high r1 8* just under a r2 8* so they could do that

    I doubt we'll have r5 7* this banquet, most whales are at 20 r4 currently if we see r5s my guess is next 4th of July.

    That adds power creep a lot faster, once people have a few rankups, they are much less interested in rankups unless they're hyper competitive in BGs where they need 30 rankups. This would just increase power creep a lot more as you have to throw out new ranks faster for the whales to buy.

    I can see r5s in banquet but I wouldn't mind them slowing the rank ups down and instead focus on one of the few cool things they did last yr and have a few 2026 champion selectors be the chase prizes instead

    Could be 1st gets 4 or 5
    2nd 3 or 4
    3rd-5th place gets 2 or 3
    6-10th 1 or 2
    So on and so forth
