With 6 Champs that are new in it, that's a 25% possibility of a Featured. You're correct that it's luck, but I don't see the GMC having better drop rates than that. I think it will just be like any other situation where people chance for themselves if they think it's worth it or not.
You are missing the point. Featured is neither here nor there. It only matters if it's a featured champ that people want. There aren't usually 6. Certainly not in this pool. So the increased odds for a "featured champ" are irrelevant. And the odds of getting the featured you want and duping him/her are much lower.
@GroundedWisdom Does Kabam have an Academy where they train their employees their employees to think the **** they are saying makes any sense?
I contacted Kabam Support for verification of Miikes claim that the drop rates for champions from any crystal was exactly the same every time, unless stated otherwise in the crystal description.
That statement contradicted the info Customer Svc had sent me about crystal drop rates.
Miikes claim that outcomes are random **** definitely untrue regarding PHC 3* and 4* crystals.
As for Feature GM Crystals, I was told every specialty Crystal uses in game factors to determine the drop rates of the available champs. I have no idea whatll these factors are, but I have seen different types of players consistently get very different results. If Kabam follows through with this plan for featured 5*s I will never buy 1 again.
I agree with several posts in this thread which Speculate that Kabam wants to stop the flow of LoL capable champs into the game.
Look at the pool of 24 champs chosen for the first feature crystal after Blade. None of them are champs suited for LoL. And a lot of them (even the bad ones need to be duped or awakened to have any use at all. Thor, Hela and Loki need their mutual synergies and their sig abilities to help in any difficult content.
The thing that makes no sense at all, is how Kabam doesn’t recognize that nerfing the featured crystal is going to break the assurances given to players when you pre announced 6* champions.
Also please tell the game team to put some effort into fixing the game.
I'm an alright player who has been playing for about 2 years. My first group of 5* I opened up were bp, sup im, bpcw. Then I got SL and was told he was a game changer if I dupe him but until then he was trash. My great excitement and ranking up the great SL to r3 was now overblown and realized maybe I ranked him up to quick.
I then decided to save on a featured crystal that did not need to be duped. I was beyond ecstatic and happy about 5* featured when I opened the iceman and got hulk when I only had 30k shards. I ranked them up as quick as possible.
Then I decided to save for another great hero to make it easier for me to complete end game content. I saved and spent on some 5* shard deals over the months and even more on the 5* gem deal which I got a skill gem, and finally after months of saving to go for blade.
With 120k shards saved up now since the 2nd iceman opening I realize I should be able to dupe blade with the gem but after that my chances of getting a hero I really want have decreased from 20-25% to about 4%.
It's really frustrating to see this announcement when you have put in a lot of time and money to get 5* shards for the hero you want for aq, aw, and end game content. I'm hoping in the future better communication from Mcoc and a hope that we will be listened too. Yes it's true games can change at any time but the 5* featured has been around forever and this seems like a drastic change to game players and especially for players at my level.
From what I am reading this does not seem to be a popular choice, some people want to compromise on 6* crystals but I only currently have 6 5* and unfortunately won't get a 6* in awhile and to see the same thing happen with and those as my 5* initial roster would be really disheartening.
I have decided I will not spend on the grandmaster 5* or any money deals until I feel there is a better camaraderie with the players. There have been changes upon changes that seem to be less of what the players want for the game. I understand it's a business but when a lot of fun has left the game because of the changes it gets harder to put in our time and money into the game.
i.e. 7 days when first out and the next week for one day?
Will there be any changes to this scheduling ?
Why don't you just make this crystal once a month with an increased chance to get 2 features? Add to them s subfeatures and basics. The system that we have now is better in terms of the amount of shards this crystal will cost. Maybe if there was only 10 champions..
I'm sorry to hear it, because I liked the features that we have now. Maybe we had only 3 weeks, but its better than 3 months for the same prize and chance for all. It won't be appealing to any player.
I would absolutely boycott this crystal, but I don't have any power to start such thing.
The **** that you're giving us, we don't want it! Challenger rating, 6* champions, changes to war, changes the feature crystals. None of it is good for us!
That's a matter of preference. They're new, hence Featured. Those will change in 3 months when 6 newer Champs are added.
Could you not just make it so all the 15k crystals JUST include featured champs!?
It's not fair saving to pull an Ant-Man, I mean even if they are all featured inside... some new champs aren't great, so you could still pull someone rubbish, but at least it would of been a previously featured/new champion.
If you look at the 6 featured champs added in previous months there are plenty there who would be worth the risk:
1
Hyperion
Gwenpool
Hood
Dormammu
2
Archangel
Psylocke
Iceman
Angela
3
Yondu
Stark Spidey
Green Goblin
4
Doc Oc
Medusa
Memphisto
Morningstar
Blade
If any of those months had been added to the 6 pool it would be worth the risk as even if you missed out on the champ you wanted, there was still a chance of getting a good backup option. This month doesn’t seem anywhere near as good for featured champs.
It’s actually ‘for all INTENTS and purposes’
That's funny.
This rubbish one lasts 3 months(too long) right?
What’s the next quarters champs like? If it’s Spark, SL, Mephisto, Iceman, GR, AA,etc... I’d buy it...
Not what he said... he said AFTER blade.
Changes take effect on February 13th but they're also running the Blade Featured on the 22nd of February as scheduled.
I've got to agree, it seems like they try and make it look like we are getting something good, but in reality just being milked to buy the 300 unit crystals.
And they wonder why there is so much outrage.
There will be players that can't wait to get a hand on a 5* new champ and will buy a lot of FGMC = profits for KABAM.
I would really love that if the community don't even spend money on units just to buy FGMC when the new 5* Featured crystal arrives. That's definitely will affect their revenue by a bit and would make them lose their minds. LOL
@Kabam Miike Eliminate the 15K featured 5* crystal but introduce 5* arenas and everything will be similar as now with 4*. The problem now is that only spending summoners have a 0.1% to obtain the new 5* featured champ or spending 15K shards a 20-25%. But now this percentage has been decreased to a 4%.
Time for 5* arenas
