400k Incursion Artifacts is too much!

DrFunnyguy · January 13

Does anyone else think 400k incursion artifacts is too much for a 7 star crystal?

It takes me months (sometimes 3 or more depending on Saga incursions) to come up with enough artifacts to pull one of these crystals. Granted, I know I'm not the best player and I'm sure some people are coming up on these artifacts faster, but not much... and I do realize that with the limited pool these particular incursion crystals are slightly more valuable, but as a Valiant player, just doing the Daily Super Event (and nothing else) every day will get you a normal 7 star crystal in 20 days.

So, in your opinion, are the incursion 7 star crystals worth the price?

Buttehrs · January 13

Not anymore. It's been long enough it should be half price by now.

captain_rogers · January 13

300k would be fine imo

Wolf911 · January 13

they should have started with 300k and after a year reduced it to 250k or even 200k

It *might* have made sense if the pool changed so you were chasing new champs. I get the concept of the awakening…. But when you keep adding sigs to the champ you don’t care about, while the ones you want elude you…. it gets old real fast.

Especially unlike loyalty pool, where the resource is just a extra for what you do regularly (AW), the incursion resource is exclusive, to get it we have to play a extremely grindy and subjectively boring mode every month and it takes like 3 months to form one, and it's likely we won't pull something we want. I get it's rng but now it's been 1.5 years and till it wasn't changed. Atleast reduce the cost now.

They could maybe create more incursion crystals with a pool of champions who are in the basic like with the 6 star incursion crystals.

I would agree if the 6 star crystals weren't so dang overpriced too. Nearly twice the price of a basic 6 star! And I'm not about to grind for 600k artifacts.

You actually can't even grind that much because it's above the cap.

incursions store and the gamemode itself need a overhaul this year, better rewards, affordable store and easier access to artifacts, or atleast make the crystals worth the grind, I'm solely grinding for namor because I like him very much, after I get him and dupe him, I'm probably just gonna buy 4* crystals (gonna take a really long ass time at this pace.)

Ayemeboi · January 13

At the least it should be 300k, and then 200k for valiants. I really want to awaken my Cap IW but the grind just doesn’t reflect the cost. 7* are not a unique commodity like they were when this was released.

Bro I have a sig 60 capiw and I hate him I literally boycott incursion last month even though I had the time to play it I didn't even looked at low sector just because of rewards and capiw and namor in those incursion crystal

N8buckeye08 · January 13

Reduce the normal and make 400k be for Nexus Incursion crystal. Kinda crazy I guess

He got me through all of act 6 so I have a soft spot for him, and he is just fun to play in my opinion. If I could awaken him or namor and get them high sig, I would love to, because that is when they are at their best. Unfortunately, having to max out incursions every month just to get the crystal every 4 months is not worth it.

captain_rogers · January 15

These are the amount of frags we get for sector 4, 5 and 6 incursion respectively

35855
42766
87580

Which on total gives 166k frags per month. If the cost was 300k, one can I really open 2 crystal in 4 months. At currently rate, we open 2 crystals in 5 months. Hope kabam reduce the incursion crystal cost

Add 5k a week to it. From engagement. 20k a month. I know its not much, but they are there.

I'll go and check how many I have opened and I'm still missing 1/2

Yeah, so expensive. My first ever, hard earned, long awaited 7 star incursion champ is ronin. Now I don't really like playing incursion, actually I never really like it but its getting more and more, well, it's so impactful

Replace namor unduped in place of storm.

Been sitting on 400K shards for a LOOOOOOOONNNNG time now because I have 0 interest in the current pool. The original limited pool idea was great since it increases the chance for those champs to be awakened, but it also increases the chance of getting and awakening champs you DON'T want. Doing this over and over again gets discouraging, and players lose interest. As the game changes and progresses, that should update too.

One thing that should definitely change is the cost. I guess that's too much to ask for since overpriced, useless 6* Unstoppable Colossus is still in the loyalty store for 1.6 million loyalty 😂

Nameless_IW · January 15

it people won't complain it will remain at 400k for another 10 years.

dr2ws · January 15

Eh well if you’re lucky you can pull Namor from THEHUNTER promo code. (sob sob 😭)

Even setting aside the Incursion store prices, the # of crystals and UI needs a major overhaul.

I lose a year of my life scrolling the store: To reach the end of the store, you have to scroll past the 3-star specials, the 4-star specials, the 7-star crystal randomly placed in the middle of 4-star crystals, incursion potions, and then more 4-star specials, and then randomly the 4-6-star crystals, and then 6-star specials, then 5-star specials, and then 6-star specials again.

The ordering of the crystals makes no sense, and the sheer amount of crystals is annoying too. Just collapse the crystal into a Nexus where you then choose which special pool you want to open from.

400k Incursion Artifacts is too much!
