Level 53. Sit down.
Most in-game grinding won't let you earn more than one per month, so why would 9 T1A in 2 weeks be too few?
Serious question though, what is the fastest possible time to earn a 5* champ assuming a top-tier ally?
I don't have to spend at this point . I have well over 20k units on my main. I open 3-4 gm crystals a week from units i earn in arena. Easily pull 1 a week, not including the 10k shards i get every 2-3 weeks or so.
I actually have kept this stash going for about a year now and have never had an issue not getting them
Probably about two weeks. Ten days if you spend money.
I've done the math, but a better way to see what's possible for a real person would be to see Dave's video on earning 5* shards:
23k shards just through gameplay, with buying offers over 30k, which is three basic 5* champs or two featured crystal openings in one month.
Well you have a 154k rating with zero r4 5*s or r5 4*s so you really cant relate to the people 2.5x your rating with 6 r4 5*s and 40 r5 4*s.
Top 5% alliance ranked rewards and top tier AW rewards.
4k from crystals? That's insanely high for normal players.
Scaled for normal players, we get maybe half that.
Less than 5% of the player base can relate to this level.
It’s like you have ignored this entire thread. Back when I was level 53 and 150k rating, I had 4 or 5 lines of t1as in overflow, as did everyone else complaining about a lack of t1as. When I was your level, I was looking for t4bs and t4ccs to make some champs that were great in aq/aw. Now I’m lookin for t1as and t4bs just to make champs not be totally worthless.
Just because it takes you a month to "grind" for a 5* doesn't mean everyone is on your pace. Those of us who are starving for t1a get 2-4 a month depending on what offers/events are running.
I still see that there's a lot of ways to get them even as an end game player. you have the opportunity to get 3 every week. plus the amount of what you can buy from glory (and now valor I guess). So even though it costs a ton of T1's to upgrade, you also have more resources to receive these.
But here's the problem with the chatter here. There's very few suggestions as to how they can improve it. Maybe add them in the uncollected Daily crystal.
High level players don't use glory on t1as.
Then don't complain about not having any. Most absurd thing I've read in this post. Sorry, not sorry, but start using the means to get what you need not want. Ever heard of two steps back to take a step forward. Done here
I thought you asked what was possible for someone in a top tier alliance?
I do not even rank up my new 4* Champs to Rank 3 anymore because T1A is so scarce. I would love to try out my new 4* champs, but unfortunately cannot.
I can rank up maybe 2 or 3 5* Champs to Rank 2 per month since that costs 5 alone.
I remember when we had these in abundance, personally I would not even care if they did not convert to T2A shards anymore when they were sold, just please, we need T1A more available. The Monthly Event, Glory, etc is simply not enough.
Thanks.
Your response ignores reality. The three things that top players need (bc they all have t4ccs out the ying yang) are t1as, t4bs, and t2as. Glory and map 6 are the only ways to get t2as. Aq also gives t4b frags and the occasional t4b—but those can’t be opened or t4ccs go to overflow bc there aren’t enough t1as and t4bs to rank 5*s.
This could be resolved if t1as were just added as milestone rewards to all aq maps. Lower players would be able to sell them for t2a frags and upper tier players that need them could get them.
But what is clear, stating that someone should sacrifice glory and not get t2a frags shows you aren’t thinking through the issue. Some day you will understand.
Moral: dont complain quickly about overflows of items.
And available in Greater Solo Crystals
Thank you for that. I've never got one from a Greater Solo Crystal ever, and I've opened hundreds so even if you are right that's not a thing. And a lot of alliances, ours included, don't have enough arena grinders to get the alpha most of the time for the two 3 day arena quests. But we are aware that they exist.
I don't recall exactly but I stash all solo crystals till months end, I think I average about 100, get 3-4 alpha. It's not a lot, but it's something. And yes I'm currently still short on alphas
Moral of the story........ IMO, its not about whether or not there is an abundance or shortage. It's about the ridiculous expiration time that Kabam has put on items past inventory limits. Why the limits for inventory on items we work hard to acquire, with the limits being miniscule but limitless in the stash with an expiration clause?
your response ignores the fact that the game is about progression. that's the reality of it. It's a grind to get resources and the matter of which you spend those resources is completely up to you. Fact is T1A is accessible enough to obtain 2-4 of them every week. Arena, plus 2 alliance challenges, plus event quests. Not even counting Glory(and Valor for now) here
It's a solid suggestion though. but it's too easy. They would be so abundant like a t1 basic. So far, I only like the idea of dropping them in the uncollected daily crystal, or giving it out as a rare drop for beating hulk in ROL
Huh? My argument ignores that the game is about “progression” so your argument for how people in higher aq tiers to get more t1as is to delay progression (burn glory on t1as instead of t2as) or regress (run map 3 aq and hope for a t1a). Good grief.
Every player around 75k to 140k will have t1as out the ying yang. It was supposed to be an easily attainable resource for purposes if ranking 4*s. The harder item was the t4b and the rare item was the t4cc.
Now, the scarcest item for many people is the t1a (besides t2as of course). The suggestion that individuals waste glory or valor on those items is utterly ludicrous. It makes far more sense to just sit there with a stash of t4cc crystals, aq crystals, and t4cc frag crystals in your crystal storage than open them and have catalysts expire (since u can’t even sell them).
This is a recognized problem for a lot of people. Perhaps you think that using your glory or valor on this item is beneficial—I don’t know how you think that and this is coming from someone who has had to waste glory on these t1as to avoid having other catalysts expire. It stagnates your future growth for very short term gain—it’s like taking a 5* rhino to r4 for “prestige” and then complaining that you don’t have t2as to take an actual good champ later and now you need rank down tickets bc of short-sightedness.
And for the record, I also run the t1a arena every week and our alliance awaus gets a t1a from item use and completion and usually gets an alpha from the two arena events also. I’m still always out of them.
But hey, it’s cool. I will just stagnate where I am since I can’t get t1as and spend the next two years trying to rank up my 5*s. This whole topic is getting ridiculous. Just make t1as a rank reward for maps 5 and 6 and let’s move on.
