Yeah it's still wrong from what I read but don't fear you are not alone it seems
Do you even hear what you are saying? It has nothing to do with drop rates.
Yes, this is correct. You will be able to win them in the Grandmaster Featured Hero Crystal, but some Champions will not make it into the Featured Hero Crystal for some time.
That's from Mike. Still want to say there is no evidence? If delaying champs hitting the featured crystals but putting them in the FGMC isn't pushing players to buy them I don't know what is.
Entre- kabam nerf.
Output- gw to defend them
So how many feature 5* have you saved an pulled for ?
I for one will not be spending an extra 5k shards to get a lower Chance at feature an risk pull ****. It makes more sense now to spend 10k an get a chance at Dr v, GP, icey, sparky etc
I was talking about the actual possibility of pulling one of them from the GMC. Which is rare. The rarest possibility in that Crystal. No one is pushing anyone to buy anything. People always decide for themselves. What we have now is a very complex system that is comprised of a majority of Basics that are growing in number, a mid-level possibility of a Featured Champ, and a tiny possibility of a Subfeatured. What this does is make the Crystals less congested and more suited to what people want to go for. Of course, that won't be visible if your view is that nothing has a reason outside of money.
Ok. Unfoundedwisdom, you win. Only because there is no point talking to someone that refuses to see what's right in front of them and I'm tired of listening to defend what is nothing more than a money grab.
I'm not agreeing with you on anything.
Think about it's relevance though. Currently you open a feature crystal to either target a specific champ or to get the newest champion content available, now the newest champ in the feature will be available 2 weeks old and to the end of the run there'll be a "feature" champ that is 6 months old. How is that relevant.
Yes I get it you want to give the champ a 3 month spin, so how about you cycle the crystal every fortnight, take out the 3 month old champ, put in a fresh one as well as 3 of the basics. That will maintain some relevance at the same time as making the simple alternative to a champ being available as a feature for longer.
Once again another simple idea from Kabam very poorly executed.
GW you’re off the mark on this one. This change indirectly benefits all the whales who are willing to spend thousands on feature grandmaster crystals to get the feature 5* champion, because of the now exclusivity of new 5* champions. I’m referring to the higher tier players so try to stay with me. The best way to get the latest 5* version of a new champion is through feature grandmaster crystals, especially if a new champion is released just after the latest 3-month feature 5* crystal. You would need 24 new feature 5* crystals (360k 5* shards) to have the same chance as 5 feature 5* crystals now (assuming 20% feature chance). So if a new champion comes out that is absolutely god-tier and with top prestige, the whales who have thousands to spend on this game are the ones who will get that champion and have a higher edge on non-whales. Where as before, any BrianGrant could save up all their 5* shards and have a pretty decent chance at getting the featured 5* champion if they saved enough. To say that this change will not affect at all the amount of feature grandmaster crystals being purchased is naive.
“The amount of money you would have to invest to compensate for drops that the current Featured Crystals have is just ludicrous” - that is the definition of a whale, now you know.
You mentioned that "fast-tracking" will be missed with these new crystals. For many players there wasn't any fast tracking. Many would grind their butts off and save for 5 months for a feature. Fast tracking is when whales spin them in out 5 minutes.
The new featured crystal will only lengthen the divide between whales and players who earn their champs through hard work.
So hard work is unfair now? Someone who saves for 8 tries at a feature is somehow oppressing and unfairly dominating someone who only has 3 tries? And because of that we should make it harder for everyone so we can protect the lazy and unwilling?
Nothing is stopping that from happening now. Although I don't think the number of people who have that much to spend is large. Anyone can buy the GMC right now. Whether spending or Shards, those whales are going to get what they want in any system. This change is about the Crystals, not the spending. That's just my opinion.
And your totally entitled to your opinion, even if it is wrong.
Except that now, non-whales can't get what they want. Non-whales don't have the option of saving anymore.
Which is why non-whales are getting screwed...
Make sense now?
@Kabam Miike if this list is really based off AQ/AW, im certainly surprised that many mystic champs are not in there. e.g. magik, dormammu. magik esp since she is used as both attacker and defender in both AQ/AW. Dormammu is of course, AQ boss and a common AW mini and boss. Other champs like iceman, spiderman and nightcrawler are also all over AW at all tier level. im very sure they have been more effective and widely used than champs like antman, venompool, beast, jane thor and civil warrior.
i can see why champs like phoenix, storm, cable and cyclops are in e list (possible effective defenders at lower AW tiers while cable n cyclops (previous season) are mini bosses) but definitely not the above 5.
Hell, the dude tried to argue that "all intensive purposes" was correct so he didn't look like an idiot.
1: lower cost to 7500 and 10000 respectively
2: are the odds in the 10k crystal the same for each champ? like the percentage for the upcoming 25k
3: increase inventory space of T2A etc with this upcoming change to allow us to save a little longer
please respond
thx
Spending is not a justification. The game is built on a spending-optional model. It's not about competing with those that are spending. Any game that allows spending is going to see people who spend advance faster. There isn't anything to be done that would resolve that outside of making it entirely free, in which case there wouldn't be a game to play.
That's not just the game. It's life. I'm sure we would all like to have access to what people with significant funds have, but if we don't have the money, then we don't.
Back to the Crystal. As I said before, the drop rate was too high in my opinion. I'm for it because it gives an equal chance at any Champ in the Crystal, increased chance at a new Champ, a rotation of Champs that were already overcrowding it (something that has been brought up many times by Players), and allows for more educated decisions on what people choose to venture for. There are more factors that go into justifying it for me than the increased chance at a Champ as soon as it comes out. People spending is not a consequence for me. It's their money.
That’s the point here. Literally the whole community is trying to demonstrate (in different ways, using different arguments) that this crystal is a bad idea and not fit for the purpose of what people save and spend 15k shards for.
They could have picked even a more ‘middling’ set of 18 champs and made reasonable arguements for their inclusion.
This makes it less likely for people to get the champ that they want, unless they have the ability to spend for it. That’s the ultimate change here.
Nobody is suggesting that they introduce a crystal ‘packed’ with champs to complete LOL, that would after all be a crystal with one champ in it anyway, but the crystal they are introducing seems to miss the mark by some distance.
Again, I’m not a Kabam hater and not just flaming this for the sake of jumping on the bandwagon.
It's not about drop rate, it's about wanting a specific champ.
My personal experience is 0-14 on Featured 5* crystals. Got Blade for 3k units from GM. What I have observed is that most people are either lucky or unlucky at both which gives the lie to the Kabam position on drop rates. But most people would rather take their chances on a better chance at a champ they want than an equal chance for 20+ champs that they know they don't want. This is a horrible crystal and I'd be stunned if it isn't an abject failure.
