The recurring issue on Awakening Gems

edited January 2020 in General Discussion
It's been noted by many over the past couple years that whenever an Awakening Crystal has been presented to us, often times we end up pulling the same class of Awakening gem, some more repeatedly than others and I wondered if it would be possible to come up with a system similar to the tier 4 class Catalyst trade in crystals. That way we could just trade it in our excess gems for an opportunity at other gems besides the class we've obtained.

Alternatively I was also wondering what about making any and all future Awakening Crystal opportunities instead work as either Class Selectors or Nexus crystals. That way even if the results are still RNG based, we still have an opportunity to make the best out of any outcome.

I'm sure others would have alternate suggestions but it was something I felt warrant discussion. Thank you.

    Class selector would basically be a generic gem

    True but again just throwing out a suggestion

    Not exactly a generic gem, for example, if you have no good 5* and you have to select, you wouldn’t know which one to pick

    how about a selector that let's you pick the class you dont want and then that class is removed from the rng.

    That could work. It's essentially what they offer with the class catalyst trade in crystals.

    Its also been shown that the same if not more people pull different classes as often as those that pull the same.

    My only nit pick is the locked camera and to an extent when we see this content drop how many paths and how many fights are on each path but until then i really have no issues with this

    personally I'd be stoked if my secondary account got 4 or 5 cosmic gems in a row.

    never got the same 2 gems in a row, over 4 accounts (2 cavalier, 1 uncollected).
    I have 4 tech awakening gems

    Seatin has 4 skills
