Ascension Should NOT have been an RNG Crystal Thing

Why on Earth is Ascension , what has always been a rank up material acquisition, suddenly now both a rank up AND a champion acquisition (RNG crystals limiting who you can take up)

I fear that this will lead to a slippery slope of the constant monetization trend , that we experienced during Kabam Crashed's time (i.e. 1) Prestige Top 30 2) Eidols 3) Rare top champs like Torch going for the price of a playstation in major sales) returning to the game.

With Karate Mike as the manager, we saw some good news like no more eidol style of P2W champions and reduced cost of holiday offer champions (and not as OP ones lile Torch) , but with this sudden unexpected change to ascenscion, barring you from being able to take up who you want, it feels like were going back in time

You would think that after how much $$ they made during Banquet, that we wouldnt need this extreme level of monetization back in the game, and players would have still whaled out to buy even more ascension material in sales

because they just care about money. They had a bug in this months elder EQ that was obvious from the start. All you had to do is pick your team and it was obvious. This tells you there is zero testing, zero quality control. Their entire budget and staff must be working on how to monetize every aspect of the game.

they gota make money man lol.

None of the big whales are buying featured valiant (pixie early access)

lets just say i SAVED alot of titan crystal just hoarding for next totan pool.

just for the champions to be jn titan pool in 3 months.

do you wanna know how much Titan shards from a dolphin? I spend on 4th july,banquet,christmas

i would say id normally get 4-5 odins

BUT i also dont like how ascension is, i might slow my spending down because of it, i cant imagine how bigger whales feels.

Like i duped another 7* sandman but hes useless unless you know… i pull him as an ascension crystal. So he just get sigs. Making the 7* pool basically useless and titan champions WONT br ascendable that you pull from,

they gota be pulled from esrly accesss witch is insane. So you need 1 copy of pixie FROM her early access to ascend her for r1 ascend. R2? 2 more times etc

And dont get me started, i pulled emma sure i like her buff

but if i wanna r2 ascend her i need to pull her 2 more times. How many tomes is r3 asfended? 4 times and so on…

Because this ascension isnt really ascension at all. Its 8* wrapped in the word ascension. Thats why we need new rank up mats, we get a new feature called iso might, and even the border changes. For all intents and purposes, its 8*.

Who gonna tell em that Kabam crashed didn’t go anywhere and karate Mike didn’t take his position

ContestOfNoobs

gona be a fun watching mcoc “revenue”

crash, tneh entice us with ascension deals 4th july and if it doesn’t work like they imagine then i can sed them tryintrying to “win” the playerbase back in banquet 2026

right now i dont really want to $pend on 4-5 odins on ascension deals for 4th July because thatd what its going to look like.

Its REPEATING

The cycle of 7* chase but in ascension form.

i r5 7* with ascended emma

so your telling me.. i have to pull her 2 more times and get the other requirements for r2 ascension or better yet r3 ascension?

i honestly dont want to buy “rng” ascension 7* crystals and i think they will include those in the $99 odin.

the “new” chase crystals

because i have so much titan shards for next week. Titans crystals have devalue so much.

i will let the whales have fun with ascension.

Because it's essentially 8 stars and not the same thing as 6 star ascension

As some people have pointed out, it has nothing to do with money, they are essentially 8*. Also, the Titan crystal was starting to lose it's value because people would just hoard shards and get everything within the first week then start the process all over again. The basic 7* crystal was already starting to feel like a 6* crystal because most endgame players already have everything or at the very least 95% of the top champs so the basic is essentially useless it's only there for Titan shards. Ascension now encourages people to not only open more 7* crystals but Titans as well instead of hoarding hard.

Personally, I don't really find an issue with the crystal RNG aspect because if it wasn't RNG everyone would have the exact same ascensions in BGs, and also because that's just what I'm used to. When I get exactly everything I want and need in game with barely any effort I get bored, I'd very much rather get tilted from pulling a Patriot and then get hyped after pulling BPCW. That rollercoaster is what makes the game interesting to me

The one thing I DO absolutely have an issue with is the fact that new champs won't be ascendable unless you spend apocalyptic levels of money. That cash grab on the other hand is definitely bs and I really hope they do something about it tho it doesn't seem like they will.
