Crystal Retry Button

I think it is a great idea.

However:

1/ Game developers will have to programme an additional step to confirm no re-spin because of class isos bonus if the champ is awakened.

2/ Game developers may have difficulty to prevent specific class isos farming by a player that already has most of the champs.

3/ I usually don't spin crystals and opened all at one go. It gets complex if I want to select the champ or several champs to re-spin.

Oops... does it mean it's not a good idea?

Here's my responses:

1) Programming will be a part of all new ideas. This is obvious, and for no reason should exclude ideas or no ideas would ever go into the game.

2) If someone is willing to drop that many shards or units on ISO, then they should be able to do so.

3) Yes, it would be a bit complex, but Kabam could pull it off by having a retry option on each item you received. Lots of things are complex, like the Flat Rates were. That doesn't mean they're bad ideas.

Not real well thought out because then you spend shards or however many units to receive nothing even Ant-man and black bolt are better than nothing ant-man is actually pretty good on the defense but that's not really your point in any case to each his own but this is not a future I would use if they added it

The point isn't on who's bad, as you said. I just think that, if you did get someone you though was bad, there should be an option to retry. If your 4 star crystal gave you Black Bolt, wouldn't you want a do-over? Shard crystals are the main point here. Yeah, Black Bolt is better than nothing. Anything is better than nothing, but some things are on the lower end of the spectrum. If you get something on the low end, a fee to give it another go seems fair.

A Retry Button defeats the purpose of having an RNG. It's an idea. Just not one that is feasible in my opinion.

It doesn't defeat the purpose of anything. It's a backup plan that you don't have to invest in. Sort of like a low-scale insurance. Someone may be concerned about their car breaking down or being wrecked, so they save up for insurance. That's basically all it is: insurance for if something bad happens.

Actually, it does. It defeats the purpose of the Crystals. They are a guarantee to a chance. It wouldn't be a chance if we were rolling until we got the outcome we wanted.

This isn't true. Have you ever seen those videos on YouTube? The "3000 Crystal Opening!!!" ones? That's the exact same thing on a larger scale. Buying multiple crystals and retrying specific crystals are just alternate forms of each other. Buying multiple costs more but gives you the rewards no matter what, while retrying costs less with less rewards. I in no way see how this would be bad for the Contest. (And if Kabam really thought that it would be a problem, they could limit the rolls per crystal as I suggested.)

This concept is just another idea that may or not be used, depending on the person. You can't definitively say it would be good or bad for everybody since we all have different thoughts and opinions. It would be helpful to some and unhelpful to others, but in no way could harm anyone. I think that since only positives can come out of this, it should at least be considered.

I would have to disagree with that. The Drop Rate does not change with multiple Crystals. You just get more chances. Let's say the Drop Rate for 4*'s is 0.01%. (No idea what it is. Just an example.). If you have 3500 Crystals, that's not the same as retrying the same Crystal. It actually means you have 3500 chances at 0.01%. The odds don't increase.
Now, if you have one Crystal that you continually try, you are generating a random outcome multiple times just the same, so the odds of getting what you want do not increase either. However, it contradicts the entire point of playing for Crystals. People would keep spinning the same ones. Either way, it defeats the purpose of having a random outcome and trying again with another Crystal. There would be no point of having another RNG if people wanted to spin until they got what they wanted.

I know the Drop Rate doesn't change. I never said it did or should. If you get something bad, you want a do-over.

It in no way would harm anyone. If you don't want to do it, then don't. Don't say it's a bad idea because you personally wouldn't do it, though.

Just because you don't find it helpful to you doesn't mean that I or others can't find it helpful to them.

Great idea, however with all the cheats people are using it would be hard for Kabam to safeguard this system from hacking. I would love to see that system though, awesome and well though post!

I appreciate it. On the hacking point, hacking will always be a problem. I don't think that hacking should ever be a reason to not implement an in-game feature unless it has to do with personal info.

Here's the thing: If someone has an idea, and you disagree with it, they'll want the last word. This is true for almost everyone across every thread. If you dispute their idea, then they will rebuttal you. At that point, it's an endless loop of firing by you and defense by them. Only when you stop firing will I put my shield down. If I put my shield down before you're done firing, it looks like you've proven my point wrong and irrelevant. This is true for everyone. If you attack a thread, it's your responsibility to back off. Not that you should have to, but you can't expect the argument to end until you decide to end it. The person who started the thread will ALWAYS want the last word, or their idea looks weak. I'm defending my point. Please stop starting these endless cycles of you attacking, them defending, and then you blaming them for the whole debate that ensues. I'm happy to debate you on this topic, as well as many others, but if you're doing the attacking, you can't expect me to end it.

I think if implemented, it could cost more than 2000 shards for a re-spin. Similar with the glory units required on the Greater Glory crystal compare with Glory crystal.

How much would be the tolerable additional shards to re-spin?

Why do you think it should cost more? In the Glory thing, you can buy it again at a higher price, but you still reap the first-time rewards. With this, you don't get those original rewards, which is why it's a different idea. If it wasn't a different idea, then I would've just said to buy another crystal.

I was thinking about the offers given and I am unsure if the logic to let us get away with 3000 shards getting a re-spin versus 4000 shards no choice on outcome is something the game owner wish for us to have.

In the Glory crystal, 1*7200 shards cost more than 2*3600 shards. If I buy something from shops; it is usually the other way.

If you aren't getting the thing you bought first, you shouldn't be paying full price for it. If Kabam doesn't like the idea, that's fine, but you shouldn't be paying for stuff you aren't getting unless it's for a do-over.

I just thought of another. If player has a champ near to max. sig level, having the chance to increase duplicating the champ will mean getting a chance to obtain IIF earlier, so from what we have seen so far, game owner is unlikely to agree.

I can't yet think of something that is a win-win for both game owner and player. So far, it is game owner win, player lose.
So need help from other forum members for ideas.

Well, the odds of getting that character are still the same, it's just another shot at it. I don't see how this would effect getting Immortal Iron Fist.

This is more of a "I got someone horrible from my really rare crystal, so I want a do-over" type of thing. It wouldn't harm the players at all.

When you post, people will state opposing ideas. If you decide to argue those points, it's your responsibility. Debating ideas is not the same as attacking someone. If you don't want people to continue a discussion, I would suggest not debating every different idea, or not posting in general. Your choice. When you present an idea, people have the ability and the right to disagree or agree with you. You can't tell them they're wrong and shut down the interaction. It's a discussion.
Good luck with your ideas.

When you post, people will state opposing ideas. If you decide to argue those points, it's your responsibility. Debating ideas is not the same as attacking someone. If you don't want people to continue a discussion, I would suggest not debating every different idea, or not posting in general. Your choice. When you present an idea, people have the ability and the right to disagree or agree with you. You can't tell them they're wrong and shut down the interaction. It's a discussion.
Good luck with your ideas.

At no point did I say that the discussion needs to be shut down. I didn't say that you need to stop talking. I said that, when you state a reason that something wouldn't work, the person who came up with the idea is going to want the last word. This is true in every way. I said that if you want the discussion to end, it's your job to end it, since I'm not going to let you have the final word on if my idea is good or not. I never said that you couldn't disagree with me. What I said is that if you publicly disagree with me, I'm going to have a rebuttal. If you don't want me to have a rebuttal, then don't talk. You were the first to dispute my idea, and I didn't say you had to walk away. I just said that I'm not walking away until you do.

A Retry Button defeats the purpose of having an RNG. It's an idea. Just not one that is feasible in my opinion.

It doesn't defeat the purpose of anything. It's a backup plan that you don't have to invest in. Sort of like a low-scale insurance. Someone may be concerned about their car breaking down or being wrecked, so they save up for insurance. That's basically all it is: insurance for if something bad happens.

Actually, it does. It defeats the purpose of the Crystals. They are a guarantee to a chance. It wouldn't be a chance if we were rolling until we got the outcome we wanted.

This isn't true. Have you ever seen those videos on YouTube? The "3000 Crystal Opening!!!" ones? That's the exact same thing on a larger scale. Buying multiple crystals and retrying specific crystals are just alternate forms of each other. Buying multiple costs more but gives you the rewards no matter what, while retrying costs less with less rewards. I in no way see how this would be bad for the Contest.

I would have to disagree with that. The Drop Rate does not change with multiple Crystals. You just get more chances. Let's say the Drop Rate for 4*'s is 0.01%. (No idea what it is. Just an example.). If you have 3500 Crystals, that's not the same as retrying the same Crystal. It actually means you have 3500 chances at 0.01%. The odds don't increase.
Now, if you have one Crystal that you continually try, you are generating a random outcome multiple times just the same, so the odds of getting what you want do not increase either. However, it contradicts the entire point of playing for Crystals. People would keep spinning the same ones. Either way, it defeats the purpose of having a random outcome and trying again with another Crystal. There would be no point of having another RNG if people wanted to spin until theY got what they wanted.

I know the Drop Rate doesn't change. I never said it did or should. If you get something bad, you want a do-over. It's the same odds as buying another separate crystal, but with a lower price and lower overall rewards. You want a do-over if you get something bad in most cases, so this could help people. It in no way would harm anyone. If you don't want to do it, then don't. Don't say it's a bad idea because you personally wouldn't do it, though. Just say that don't find it effective for you and your situation, and move on. Don't continue arguing against someone's opinion. People's opinion's differ, and I disagree with you. Just because you don't find it helpful to you doesn't mean that I or others can't find it helpful to them.

Actually, I stated my opinion and you disputed it.

Here's the thing: If someone has an idea, and you disagree with it, they'll want the last word. This is true for almost everyone across every thread. If you dispute their idea, then they will rebuttal you. At that point, it's an endless loop of firing by you and defense by them. Only when you stop firing will I put my shield down. If I put my shield down before you're done firing, it looks like you've proven my point wrong and irrelevant. This is true for everyone. If you attack a thread, it's your responsibility to back off. Not that you should have to, but you can't expect the argument to end until you decide to end it. The person who started the thread will ALWAYS want the last word, or their idea looks weak. I'm defending my point. Please stop starting these endless cycles of you attacking, them defending, and then you blaming them for the whole debate that ensues. I'm happy to debate you on this topic, as well as many others, but if you're doing the attacking, you can't expect me to end it.

You told me not to continue arguing agaisnt someone's opinion. Apparently you're not aware of how a debate works. Someone states a view. If someone disagrees, it can be left at that. If not, another states why they disagree. The conversation is a give and take. One of my comments posted 3 times. Not much I can do about a server issue.
At this point, you're going in circles. I stated that I disagreed with the reasons. If you chose to debate that, it is your choice. You cannot accuse someone of arguing when you chose to initiate a debate. A Forum is not a one-sided conversation. You can't control the responses people have when they disagree with the points you make. Since I'm not interested in arguing for nothing, we will end it here.
