We NEED More Sig Stones (no, not offers)

May_The_Way · March 2020

It’s becoming extremely difficult for F2P players, or even “the dolphins” in this game to sig up their 5-stars, let alone 6-stars. Sig Stones are rare for 5-stars & 6-stars, mostly found in permanent content you can only do once. Yet, Kabam keeps putting out these offers that contain sooo many stones.

I have no problem with offers in game. It keeps the game alive, I get it. But when a good 80% of a crucial in-game resource comes from offers, something’s wrong.
All I’m asking for is more game modes to farm Sig Stones from. Maybe Dungeons? Because the amount coming from cash offers is too much.

Good thing act 6 is loaded with stones....... it’s all getting to be absurd

RogerRabs · March 2020

I was actually just about to post this. Signature stone paywall is absolutely absurd. So many champs need high signature abilities to reach their potential. Most months you’re only getting 15 from the monthly EQ. I understand Kabam profits greatly off the prestige wars, but it’s gotten to a point where it’s severely impacting my ability to use new champs.

We need to be able to farm these at a reasonable rate

Agreed, but again... that’s permanent content you can only do once. Where you gonna get Stones after Act 6? A place like dungeons that reopens every week or something would be much better for something like Sig Stones to farm

He was being sarcastic. There are basically no stones in the rewards.

I’m hoping these new objectives give a good way to get a consistent flow of them

Mcord11758 · March 2020

I am telling you there are people out there with over 10k prestige that haven’t explored act 5. It’s insane. Meanwhile you can be sub 10k with all of act 6 so far explored

But TBH, the only reason I assumed there would be Sig Stones in Act 6 is because the rewards were already so bad... & if the 6* meta supposedly “doesn’t exist yet”, then you would think they would give 5* stones to increase our 5* rosters. Can’t even do that I guess 😂

You get more sig stones 100% uc and master than 100% a 6.3 level

Genuine question, why do we *need* more sig stones, if we aren't trying to compete at the very top of the game with multiple maxed out 5* or 6* 3/45?

Maybe the new weekly and daily objectives from Kabam will give 5* sig stones if you are Cavalier who knows. I'm hoping that they update the solo events based on account progression.

Not to mention the ridiculous dependent on your inventory RNG crystals. For 50 bucks I want generic sig stones I can use. I need stones for aegon, domino, doom, voodoo, sparkles, and starky. So I got 16 +5 science that stack on top of my previous 7 I can’t use. Thanks again kabam. You got me again. Enjoy my money you suckered me out of. It’ll be the last.

6* sigs need to be more available. I'm willing to buy them. I personally couldn't care less about 5* sig stones. These offers are trash. I'm sure they appeal to someone, but certainly not me.

The 6* sig stones should be as rare as the 5* sig stones are right now for f2p. 5* sig stones should be as common as 4* sig stones

Provides 20% chance at a 5* AG. 80% shot at 5* sig stone. Can’t remember if it’s +1, +2 or +5.

@lowlevelplayer you either get a random class awakening gem or you get 80 sigs stones of a random class.

Mate the game is also about expanding and furthering your roster, being able to play with champs to their full capacity and enjoy the experience along the way. If it takes me 1.5 years to fully unlock the potential of my Void or CAP iw it really kills the vibe. More so when people can just drop big bucks and get in front of you and you just feel left behind. The game is not just about getting number 1 prestige or 1st place in AW seasons. If that was the case nobody below 1 million rating would bother playing the game cause there wouldn't be any point, they will never catch up to the top anyways.

TLDR: competetive purpose in this game is nice and all but lets not forget that roster progression is also a big part of the game and feeling left behind by arbitrary pay walls is frustrating to say the least.

We used to have challenges almost every 2-3 months that awarded 25 generic 5* signature stones, but they have long since removed them from the contest. I think the last one I can remember is the Captain Marvel Movie special challenge that we had almost a year and half ago. Those challenges were by far the best source of signature stones that we got without paying for them.

This is a clear strategy. KT1 had a great video out that explains the Kabam paywall with prestige, high level rankups and rng.

Because I am in the middle of the road alliance that is relaxed and places too 800 but still my prestige which is approaching 9700 is still an anchor

Because AQ rewards are dependent on prestige. If a players alliance is close to one of the rewards cutoffs, say top 90, or top 250, then prestige is one of variables that determines your score. No matter where you are in the game, if you are in an alliance, everyone in the alliance should be pushing to raise their prestige. Better prestige ='s better rewards overall.

At this point in the game where resources are coming out for later rank 6*’s, it shouldn’t be so difficult to get sig stones without having to drop cash
