Costs of 7* crystals revealed!!

The cost of a 7* crystal is 15,000 shards. Opinions?

Comments

So we will have to dupe 6 stars 55 times instead of 37 to get a 7 stars and dupe 7 stars 55 times to get a featured 7 stars (Titan crystal) ?
If duping 6*'s was the only way to get 7* shards, yes. 55/56 times or less for max sig 6*'s.

But you're not just getting them from 6* dupes. You'll get them in content as well. That's how you get 6* shards. Weird concept but thankfully Kabam thought of a way to get 6 and 7 star shards outside of duping champs. I don't know how they thought of it though.
What other ways. You mean like the whopping 4k shards we get for Act 8.2?
Sure, because 8.2 is the last place you'll ever see 7* shards again.
Never said that, I asked a question. But youll acting like there is a massie flow of 7* shards in the game just isnt true. I mean at 55 6* dupes per 7* are you guys really going to keep pretending like there are lots of people opening thousands of 6*s a month to create a problem of too many 7*s.

There won't be a massive flow and I'm not acting like there is. I have 35k 7* shards from 6* dupes. That is 35k% more than I had in 6* shards when they were released.

There was only 5K 6* shards when they were released in act 5. We couldn't stockpile them for months before we could get them story content.

7* shards will start showing up in other areas as well. Miike already said they'll be in AW season rewards and rank 1 will get a full 7* crystal.

They'll probably be in the Paragon SQ. They'll be added elsewhere. We'll find out more for May's details. Stop overreacting.

Could not be more wrong yourself. No, there aren't any of the most wanted in the first batch, but every single champ there is useful in some fashion. There aren't any 100% duds.
Could not be more wrong yourself. There are way too many 100% duds. Unless you're like cav with all 5 star duds, there's not much to be excited about in this pool. I would rather use my 5* god-tier champs than most champs in this pool to be honest.
That's just your mentality. It's wrong, but that's ok. Consider this, falcon shuts down almost any annoying nodes/abilities in the game. People still fear fighting domino's. I can go on. The Stat levels alone will make using 5 and most 6* pointless, especially once you can take a 7* to r2 which probably won't be too far away. But sure, continue to be blind and say Id rAtHeR uSe mY 5*.
Could not be more wrong yourself. Nobody is afraid to fight an unduped domino. r2 is months and months away. I would rather use a 5* sig 200 herc than almost anyone in that crystal as a r1 unduped champ.

Looking at the pool, here are the useless champs (I would rather use a god tier 5* sig 200 instead of anyone here): rocket, war machine, mysterio, imiw (very dangerous if you're new to the game I guess), korg (needs dupe), killmonger, surfer, gamora, terrax (F in chat), hulk, fixit, spidergwen, spiderman, gambit, storm x, dragoman, mangog, chavez

Champs that are sort of useful in some situations (I would rather use a god tier 5* sig 200 instead of anyone here): g2099, venom duck, overseer, titania, sauron, bishop, sunspot, wong, sasquatch

Useful (I would prob use a god tier 5* sig 200 instead of anyone here still): domino (but not on defense if unduped), elsa, falcon, venom, gorr, wiccan

Haven't used but are probably useless in their current form due to kabam admitting they need a buff: shuri, mantis

It's ok if you don't have any god tier 5* sig 200 champs you can use. You'll pull someone good soon bud.

Good. Keep using your god tier 5*'s and stop complaining about how much a 7* crystal costs. Just because you don't like the pool doesn't automatically make the pool the worst. Most everyone I've seen talk about likes the initial pool.

You also just admit you don't know how the use any of the champs you mentioned because you're so handicapped by using Hercules.

People need to realize not everyone needs to be Hercules. This 7* pool has so many underrated champs that majority of the playerbase has cast aside.

Not sure how long you've played the game, but every time kabam releases a new Rarity, they've been able to go straight to r2 so that you were forced to make the choice to either r5 the old rarity or r2 the new one. Now we still don't know if we're going to be able to do that this time yet but we'll soon find out. I have more than my fair share of God tier 6* at r3 or better. I would still choose to use a "lesser champ" as a 6* over my maxed 5* except in very rare cases simply due to the higher stats and nodes that benefit 6* or classes. Why? To end fights easily and minimize the use of items. It's the entire point of a game like this. To use your highest rarities. Otherwise, why bother collecting higher rarities?

It mustnt be any flow of 7* just yet lol, people acting like they have to get their first 7* at the release, the fact that people can get a 7* just when it is released is just amazing itself.

I remember when 6* came out, first of all, the pool wasnt the best, and it was hard, like, really hard to get 6*, and it was hard for a decent amount of time.

The fact that people got used to get a lot of shards in much lesser time doesnt mean that it is the way that it must work, 7* are new and I dont think anyone should have more than a couple at his release.

People complaining about all this stuff feels like childish kids that cry when Mom and Dad dont buy the candys they want

So the main source for 7* shards is content, yet, the only content the provide it is in 4 days, and by doing it 100% you get 26.6% of a 7*, then you wait for 7 more months for 8.3 to get the rest of the shards to get 1 7*, I'm so excited 😆😆

If you were honest (rewards will scale accordingly), it would've been at least 50-60% of a 7* SMH
8.2 is the 2nd place we'll see 7* shards. We've been getting them from dupes for months now. They have a Paragon SQ planned and I'm sure there will be other pieces of content with them. Possible updates to BG/Sigil stores.

Y'all make up these weird scenarios like this that are based in feelings instead of fact and then act the world is ending.

Since when do you consider dupes "content"?
THE FACT is, it wasn't scaled accordingly, if you disagree, tell me why I'm wrong, otherwise. Just zip it.
BTW, I already have 28.050 shards in stash, so 4k extra for long awaited content and rarity is a slap in the face.

Define accordingly. What they mean by scaled is in line with the current availability and how fast they want the meta to ease into their introduction. Not to be an exact replica of the 6* system. Given the state of 6*s now and how common they are, that's too fast.

Crystals are content regardless of what you want to think. Let's use a different word. 6* dupes are the first source of 7*'s and we've had access to them for months. 8.2 will be the 2nd source for 7*'s that we have confirmed.

Whether 7* shards from dupes was wrongly scaled isn't a fact, it's your opinion. You guessed and you guessed wrong.

It went from 10k to 15k, so 50% increase.
So if original 7* reward was 2666 7* shards, with 50% increase, it's now 3999 (4k), judging from the numbers along, it's very obvious they didn't increase it by 50%, no way they intended to give 2666 7* shards from doing 8.2 100%.
Don't forget, they increase the price to compensate for 6* dupes NOT 7* shards from content according to them.

If they increase it accordingly, it should've been 5k +50% = 7500 7* shards

Anyone replying to me and focusing on Hercules is missing the entire point. Telling me I rely on Hercules too much is also missing the entire point. I would rather use a 5 star r5 sig 200 of any god tier instead of like 95% of the champs in this pool. Here are 3 god tiers from each class that I would rather use as a fully maxed out 5* (certainly not the only ones): torch, scorpion, quicksilver, fury, mole man, shang chi, kitty, AA, omega, ghost, warlock, nimrod, (shocker), cgr, hulkling, knull, Claire voyant, doom, rintrah. Notable mention quake, who is so OP that they are afraid to make even a 6 star version.

Ask yourself, would you rather be using one of these fully maxed and sig 200 champs as a 5* or would you rather an unduped 7* joe fixit, gambit, gamora, Korg, terrax, etc. If you answer the 7* then you're lying to yourself. Just because their base stats are higher doesn't mean they're better.

This right here is the problem. You and others are so focused on “god tier” that you are automatically thinking this pool is a fail. This pool has a lot of good underrated champs that get slept on and could easily see more love. If you don’t want to, that’s fine, but ignoring the usefulness of these champs and this pool being actually pretty good is just ignorant and you being upset because your god tier champs didn’t get added.

Yes, yes. You use only god tiers. We get it. Warlock isn't God tier. Mole Man isn't God tier.

Ghost is trash tier.

Still missing the point. This pool is pretty bad. There are lots of champs who are not god tier and are actually good, and they didn't get put into the pool.

This pool is a fail because it's full of bad champs, not because it doesn't have any god tier champs. There are plenty of good solid options that they didn't include. They picked like the bottom 10% of every class to be in this pool, except for a few options.

Bad is your opinion. It's not the only opinion. It's also not the only 7*'s the game will ever see.

Here's a list of solid champs that aren't god tier that are still better than MOST options in the 7* pool: void, ibom, cap iw, bwdo, hit monkey, blade, colossus, prof x, hulkbuster, stark Spidey, iron doom, corvus, Angela, medusa, voodoo, SW, sym supreme. Please tell me you'd love to use an unduped Korg or terrax instead of any of these though. I love hearing it

When the entire thread is almost unanimously saying the pool is good for a first pool, id say your the one missing the point.

You forgot about all the 7* shards you accumulated for the past 4 or 5 months.

So for 4 months of accumulating shards, some getting no shards at all, some 100k, we pay 50% extra forever..oh no..wait, almost forgot that awesome offer of having 1st two of them for 10k..correct me if im wrong (and i might be, coz been so much time since then) but i think we got a discount for first 6* champs also when released..and 5* prior that and so on.

Point is that no matter how many shards you have now, on long term it will be irrelevant. Fact!
Another fact is that 8.2 7* shards are not scaled, so if the first ever content released with 7* shards is not scaled, why should we trust future content will? Its not like the release of 8.2 was done in a hurry, the release of 7* champs caught them by surprise, and they forgot to scale something..its all planned! And if you want to sell me some bs like 1k shards for completion is scaled, please dont

Could not be more wrong yourself. No, there aren't any of the most wanted in the first batch, but every single champ there is useful in some fashion. There aren't any 100% duds.

Lol. Unfortunately you sound like a person who plays with ONLY the OP champs. Unfortunate since there is SO MUCH you are missing. I play in a Masters Map8 Ally and i can say that this pool is incredibly useful to end gamers. I'm looking forward to this pool.

So for 4 months of accumulating shards, some getting no shards at all, some 100k, we pay 50% extra forever..oh no..wait, almost forgot that awesome offer of having 1st two of them for 10k..correct me if im wrong (and i might be, coz been so much time since then) but i think we got a discount for first 6* champs also when released..and 5* prior that and so on.

Point is that no matter how many shards you have now, on long term it will be irrelevant. Fact!
Another fact is that 8.2 7* shards are not scaled, so if the first ever content released with 7* shards is not scaled, why should we trust future content will? Its not like the release of 8.2 was done in a hurry, the release of 7* champs caught them by surprise, and they forgot to scale something..its all planned! And if you want to sell me some bs like 1k shards for completion is scaled, please dont

So the main source for 7* shards is content, yet, the only content the provide it is in 4 days, and by doing it 100% you get 26.6% of a 7*, then you wait for 7 more months for 8.3 to get the rest of the shards to get 1 7*, I'm so excited 😆😆

If you were honest (rewards will scale accordingly), it would've been at least 50-60% of a 7* SMH
8.2 is the 2nd place we'll see 7* shards. We've been getting them from dupes for months now. They have a Paragon SQ planned and I'm sure there will be other pieces of content with them. Possible updates to BG/Sigil stores.

Y'all make up these weird scenarios like this that are based in feelings instead of fact and then act the world is ending.
Since when do you consider dupes "content"?
THE FACT is, it wasn't scaled accordingly, if you disagree, tell me why I'm wrong, otherwise. Just zip it.
BTW, I already have 28.050 shards in stash, so 4k extra for long awaited content and rarity is a slap in the face.

Aaaand that is exactly why this change was needed. When 6* came in it took a long time to get a 6*. now, on drop, youll have people with possibly multiple 7*, quite easily on drop. THAT is why this change is needed.
PS: The slap in the face is a nice touch

How can you scale something that hasn't happened before? We've never had 7* shards as a reward before. You can't scale something when it's only the first time it's ever happened. That's a nonsense statement.

So we will have to dupe 6 stars 55 times instead of 37 to get a 7 stars and dupe 7 stars 55 times to get a featured 7 stars (Titan crystal) ?
If duping 6*'s was the only way to get 7* shards, yes. 55/56 times or less for max sig 6*'s.

But you're not just getting them from 6* dupes. You'll get them in content as well. That's how you get 6* shards. Weird concept but thankfully Kabam thought of a way to get 6 and 7 star shards outside of duping champs. I don't know how they thought of it though.
What other ways. You mean like the whopping 4k shards we get for Act 8.2?
Sure, because 8.2 is the last place you'll ever see 7* shards again.
Never said that, I asked a question. But youll acting like there is a massie flow of 7* shards in the game just isnt true. I mean at 55 6* dupes per 7* are you guys really going to keep pretending like there are lots of people opening thousands of 6*s a month to create a problem of too many 7*s.
There won't be a massive flow and I'm not acting like there is. I have 35k 7* shards from 6* dupes. That is 35k% more than I had in 6* shards when they were released.

There was only 5K 6* shards when they were released in act 5. We couldn't stockpile them for months before we could get them story content.

7* shards will start showing up in other areas as well. Miike already said they'll be in AW season rewards and rank 1 will get a full 7* crystal.

They'll probably be in the Paragon SQ. They'll be added elsewhere. We'll find out more for May's details. Stop overreacting.

So according to you, when act 6 was introduced, we were able to get 50% of a 6*, so if we apply the same, we should get 7500 7* shards for 8.2.
You just proved Kabam lied when they said they gonna increase the shards accordingly

No, they allowed 6* dupes to accumulate 7* shards months prior, which wasnt the case with 6*. So... nope. This situation is different.

MrFullStop

And your 35k shards from dupes are useless in this argument, they increase the crystal cost to 15k to fix that problem.

We have scaled 7* rewards to match this new cost.

Indeed..nonsense statement… please tell him that

Ever stop to think he meant content after 8.2? Kabam is more retroactive than proactive.

That would be guessing… i am talking on whats in the game, or what is announced.
