I bought enough crystals to get to 100 points, and other than the guaranteed 7* crystal (tigra), i didn't get anything noteworthy. Like @DocWest, i feel like i always get the short end of the RNG stick.
Dark phoenix feels even worse because there's no other way to acquire her, but she's a powerful defender. I (barely) have the units to get the 6* DP, but given my rng luck, i just don't think it's worth the steep price for the 6* version.
I know events like this and Omega Days are probably really profitable for Kabam and they give content creators some good material to work with, but they always leave me feeling disappointed.
Emptying out my saved units plus all the ones from the event gave me more 5* then I could count, a handful of 6* and enough 7* shards for a single 7* basic. The 7* Red Goblin I pulled is clearly the universe telling me something.
I have opened 4 guaranteed 7 Star heart of the fire crystal and received immortal abomination 3 times out of 4 tries I am very much disappointed at the quality of these guaranteed 7 star crystals . I was able to aquire these 4 crystals by spending approx 15k units and buying a guaranteed 7 star HOF crystal from web store. At the end I ended up with a sig 60 abomination. I request you to look into my case as am feeling very much robbed by the game
I personally enjoyed the event. I am F2P and did not use any of my units. Everything I got came from the freebies that Kabam gave. I also had a certain expectation before coming into the event. I did get a single 7*, but it was not a HOF champion it was Havok.
The one I see with a lot of summoners is the posting of getting multiple iBoms. I'm honestly shocked how many people ended up with this one champion. Consider in a pool of 5 champions each champion has a 20% likelihood of being picked (1/5).
So to get iBom say three times in a row has a likelihood just using probability of:
1/5 times 1/5 times 1/5 = 1/125 which is 0.008%.
With that in mind you can see how I'm shocked to see so many have something like this happen. The probability of getting the same champion three times in a row is in theory a very low probability.
I saw in another post people asking and suggesting a cheeky promo code. While it would be nice if there was a promo code for all summoners to get a few valiant HOF crystals I don't think it will happen, but not only that Valiant crystals, Valiant HOF crystals don't have a guaranteed get a 7* so it might just end up in being more iso and a mix of 5*s and 6*s with a slim chance to get a 7* much less a 7* HOF champion. Just some thoughts.

Respectfully,

Fun fact I actually pulled 7* immortal abomination 4 times 3 times from guaranteed 7* Hof crystal And once from another 100 valiant crystal opened. I did not pull any other 7* from the valiant crystals
I liked the champs that you can get in this event. I did max out the event for Dark Phoenix. I do wish that it was a gotcha box again. It is super frustrating when you do not get all of the champs even maxing the event out.
Kinda disappointed. Happy for everyone who pulled something, even a 7* that was not in the HOF pool. But to spend a couple thousand units (mine + from milestones) and not pick up even one 7* kinda left me bummed out. It got worse seeing all the openings by the content creators who were pulling and duping HOF champs from Paragons and Valiants.
That said, I should have expected this, thanks for the extra shards and rank up mats, felt better as a f2p after the R&D, but this left me deflated. Gonna focus on my own grind and ignore these events and all the posts. Again, happy for all those who pulled something they liked or wanted. BG's will suck a bit more (which is one of the reasons I put it down last week and didn't care if I missed out on Radiance, just not worth the frustration). Happy hunting to all those still trying to hit those milestones or get their desired pulls.
Loved that I was able to use units to climb through this event. With some effort in arena + a bit of spring cleaning spending, was able to max out the event. Big fan of it. Anything that can be done to allow ftp to earn the rewards the better the event
I was a supporter of the Omega Days. The Heart of Fire put an end to my participation at this yearly event. I will stay on the events that are sure and useful in terms of content (4th July) and the Banquet for the alliance.
This kind of event based on the RNG is double edge. I am too often in the bad side of RNG: 1) I got 11 7* dupes in the last 12 7* basic crystals. Moreover 11 of the lower half of the 7* basic pool. And I « only » have half of the basic 7* champions. 2) With the HoF crystals, no 7* in 14 Paragorns and 36 Valiants.
On the last week, my wife asked me: « Why do we still play? The AQ is a constraint. The AW is not fun and a constraint too. Defeat after defeat after defeat… in the BG. The arenas are boring. And we rarely get good champions from crystals. That is a soucy for some content (story quest, event quest, secondary quest). » As a player since the first year, this question makes more sense than ever.
The only really positive point I remember since last January is the Spring event (Onslaught).
I'm only Cav, but I've got new 5* Quake, new 4* Negasonic (first of any rarity), 6* Venompool, 6* Gladiator and 5* Mr Negative so far, along with a load of dupes including back-to-back 4* Apocalypses at one point.
I maxed out the event and still came up short. Please consider selling a 7* selector before the event ends. I was not able to pull Future Antman. I sadly pulled Apocalypse 4 times. Twice from 7* crystals and twice from the heart of fire crystals.
Anything that's based on rng in this game is awful. And after spending 6k units, I got ibom and apoc. The 2 HoF champs that I was not even interested in. It could've easily been any of the other 3. So rng just sucks for me.
The worst and the last event on my life. It feels just like scam for me. I opened 4 crystals with a guaranteed 7-star champion. And that was apoc 3 times.I will never donate to this game again because it's like some kind of gambling. Thank you so much for 2 dupes on apoc( 200$ and 6k units). "Great investment".
Day one I spent all my 7k units, got lucky and hit on both fantman and tigra. Next day I picked up the $80 webstore package, that guaranteed 7 star and both the ones from milestones were all apoc. Should've quit while I was ahead.
Fairly happy with the event overall, but having a champ in there with very little BG value and a useless sig burns my popcorn.
I have a fundamental issue with Kabam ignoring PPP across countries. There has to be some sense of balance. 36700 units is approx $1200 which is an absolutely crazy amount for the entire developing world. People in my part of the world will never be able to afford this game without PPP being factored in.
The only things in my opinion, are since this event does not happen often, but one time a year, the drop rates could have been better for the player. Also having only the event champs in the event crystal would also be better, in that those champs are the reason we are going for it.
You did it great with gacha boxes, try to repeat them often, try to avoid RNG events like this.
Also, could be a Nice idea to give players Pity System.
Not every event like this can be a gacha system they still have to have rng events to even everything out. Also these champs were to good for a gacha system
I am sitting on 20k units and I don't get the excitement for this event. I have all of the champs r5 and ascended already so the price to own these same champs as a 7 star seems ridiculously high. Sure, these champs are great but I have other champs as 7 stars already in each of the respective classes I'd rather r4 instead.
Pulled everyone on my main and hit awakenings on most of them. Also hit a few other seven stars in the valiants and even got a seven star Tigra awakening out of a paragon. Big win there.
On my sub account I got about 120 points in grinded units so far and hit literally nothing. On the guaranteed seven star I hit who I wanted the least from the crystal with Apoc so that is disappointing. I’m close to a second seven star but I don’t know if I want to invest the money for units or crystals to hit any more milestones.
Overall I’m mixed on the event as it was a huge waste for my small account but I completely hit on everything on my whale account. I do wish there was units in the lower event. I also think the overall cost of this event should come down. 36000+ units is just such a huge investment for anything even when you consider you get some of that back in milestones. I really hope the cost of this event comes down next year.
The Heart of Fire has opened its doors for about 48 hours now, and I've been hearing that Rank Up button click all across the Battlerealm -
So far, how are we feeling about this event? Were the RNG Gods on your side - did you pick up any fun new 7 Stars? Any exciting new Rank Ups?
Let me know down below!
my ticket to kabam, and the response is mentioned below.. its long but trust me its fun
Dear Team,
I went ahead and maxed out in all milestones from this event and this is my results
Opened 175 Hof crystals (few paragons I do not remember how many maybe 15)
I purchased all your valiant HOF delas in game for cash. spend approx. 500 usd and 11k units is saved up for quite some time.
My pulls were ,
1 7-star immortal abomination from Valient HOF 1 7-star Colossus from Valient HOF
From the 7-star guaranteed HOF crystal,( I opened 4 – 3 from milestones 1 from web store for 80usd)
3-time immortal abomination !!!!!! 1-time tigra
That's it this is the max results I received after opening 175 crystals.
Whereas my alliance mate who is at below 300 points in the same event pulled (I can share his in-game id if you need)
7 star nick fury 2 times from Valient HOF 7 star Fam 1 times form Valient Hof 7 star apoc 2 times from Valient
This is 5 7 star pulls from 100- 125 valiant Hof crystals
How can you justify this is a fair distribution on rewards. We both are endgame players and see the huge inequality the In the rewards even though I maxed out the event I still miss 2 champions from the pools How much this is going to affect my game progression . I decided to spend in this event to not to lose relevancy in the current meta. Still I ended up burning my cash and left with lot of disappointment
Now I want to understand you statement on fair distribution of game resources,, is this the way you call it fair..? even after paying for the full milestone, I am left with nothing but a 10 years’ worth disappointment .
I am requesting you to take back by 3 times duped immortal abomination and give at least 1 Guaranteed 7-star HOF as a compensation for the poor quality of the crystals .
Or I would like to return all my items received from the event for a reimbursement due to the poor quality of the items .
If this is not possible, can you just make a statement against my below query ,
Getting 2 7 star from 175 crystals is normal ..? Getting same campion 3 times out of 4 times from a pool of 5 champions is normal… ?
Faithfully,
A very much disappointed summoner.
AN THE GREAT EVER RESPOSNSE FROM KABAM SUPPORT
Hello Summoner,
We understand you would like compensation or to be reimbursed for the items you received. Please note that Kabam Support is unable to provide compensation or reimburse any items as it would override intended game design.
To reiterate additional context, I would like to share some of the core aspects of Crystals and their functionality: The Crystal carousel spin animation is just an animation and does not represent all available rewards or how close you may have gotten. All rolls are done server-side. This is to ensure that you will still get the rewards if an unforeseen crash or freeze happens during a Crystal opening. All Summoners have the same Crystal drop rates, no account-related statuses (level, alliance, the amount spent, etc. ) will ever affect these. Each Crystal is a new Crystal upon opening, meaning that previously opened crystals do not affect your drop rates. The drop rates shown are based on that Crystal alone. These drop rates do not convey the drop rates of multiple Crystals being opened. Only Featured Hero Crystals will have specific Champion drop rates. For Non-Featured Hero Crystals, all Champions will have the same drop rates.
With that said, Kabam Support is unable to provide further assistance regarding your drop rate concern. As there is nothing more to address in this ticket, this ticket is now solved.
Thank you again for contacting Kabam Support.
Best regards, xxx ( i removed support person name) Kabam Support
what do forum say about this ...? do you guys think this is normal..? my friend is a regular spender in the game and i am like once in a while spender. even though we are at the same level in game progression, i believe our drop rates are completely in different word. i believe kablam is having 2 pools for featured crystals one for spender another face slap for F2P players

We don't have different drop rates based on spending. There are free to play players on the forums who shared their 7 Star pulls in only their free Crystals - there's always going to be variance, that's just how statistics work.
I understand RNG. And it’s taking a chance when getting and opening valiants…however…after opening 50 valiants, I think there should be 1 guaranteed 7 star - kind of like how you guys were doing in that campaign run. It doesn’t have to be one of the featured 7 stars but A SINGULAR 7 star…not just the one from the milestones. I feel a bit robbed after that many valiants and paragons and only getting the guaranteed 7 star. It’s almost like there was a probability for the drop rates haha

3 times from guaranteed 7* Hof crystal
And once from another 100 valiant crystal opened. I did not pull any other 7* from the valiant crystals
Unfortunately I miss ibom but honestly gotten my most wanted in Nick tigra and fant. Nick is r4 and Dark Phoenix is r4 and fant is r4.
That said, I should have expected this, thanks for the extra shards and rank up mats, felt better as a f2p after the R&D, but this left me deflated.

Got Abomination Immortal 7 stars
And many more great things to upgrade my Champs
- Too much weak regarding the rank up materials (at least for Valiants).
- RNG based, and when the « luck » is not your side…
