5* Dups

Am I the only one? Can't pull one at all. Just opened another Crystal, MK. I don't care who it is, but it's becoming infuriating to keep opening them, which take somewhat longer to accumulate, and never land a Dup. I literally have hundreds of Sig Stones I can't use. Now, I know logic dictates that I'll open one eventually. However, there has to be an easier way. What do you all think about 5* Class Crystals? That would somewhat increase the odds. It would also allow us to fill a Roster of each Class. Just throwing out ideas because I almost threw out my tablet. Lol. Seriously. RNGesus hates me.

I pulled 25 5*crystals, have 24 champs
I feel ya
We do have pickup crystals, so im not too sure about your thoughts mate...

GroundedWisdom

Pickup Crystals?

Karuseus

Whatever that was called that costs 15000 shards

GroundedWisdom

Oh, yes. For sure. Featured. I don't care if they're new or not. The more Champs that are added, the more the odds decrease. Now, I know Shards are easier to come by now, but it's still longer to accumulate. I don't care what Champ I Dup as long as I can use the Stones. Lol. It's just frustrating is all.

I’ve suggested class crystals quite a few times actually. With over 110 odd champs there needs to be a way to limit the pool. And no, featured crystals are terrible.

Karuseus

Hmm... you two sure have a point, and is very convincing
If Kabam can introduce class crystals, one class per week or so, it might actually work out well

Well, I'm officially sold.

Aleor

will you spend any sig stones on KK?
duped jugs two days ago — would've take any new champ instead gladly. only around 10-20 champs need their dupe

GroundedWisdom

Any at this point. It's really frustrating to work that hard to build a 5* Roster and not be able to Awaken them as easily. Granted, I understand they're meant to be rare. I'm just disheartened.

Just do content that gives awakening gems

It is frustrating not getting decent champs and/or awakening those you do have. I get champs pretty slowly as a solo player; so had essentially resigned myself to never Awakening one. I now have (only) 17 five-star champs and actually got a dupe last week; awakening the mighty Ant-Man.

Luckily his Dupe does actually make him a bit more useful (especially if I ever pick up a 4-5* Wasp or Doc Ock) so I'm actually relatively happy with my first dupe.

I do think some special crystals that have smaller champion pools would be appealing; and something I might be prepared to buy. 'Class' crystals would be one option as you suggest; or alternately Kabam could create more themed crystals like the Bloodletting crystal, the XL crystal, and the event-related crystals they've done before (X-Force, Civil War, Spider-verse, and GOTG crystals):

This was a decent offer on the Evangeline Lilly challenge:

Thoughts on potential themed crystals -

Robotic/cybernetic champions (WS, Cable, Rocket, Nebula, Modok, Sentinel, Ultron, Doc Ock)
Power Armour champions (Stark-tech, Pym-tech, Wakanda-Tech)
Mercenary champions (MK, DPX, Killmonger, Domino, Rhino, Nebula, Taskmaster, Yondu, Electra)
Utility champions (Doc Ock, GG, Venompool, Cable, Hood, CAIW, P2099, MS, GR, Rogue)
Power Control champions (might be an expensive one, this! Nebula, Rogue, Psylocke, HE, Magik, Doc Ock, Vulture, WS, CW)
Villainous champions (Obvious)
Spiderverse champions (obvious)
Tank champions (obvious)

@GroundedWisdom

RNGesus may already be disappointed with your lack of faith, careful lest you suffer his vengeance!

Maybe head down to coal harbour and offer a sacrifice to the Vancouver hq? Im not sure what would be appropriate, maybe some oct17th, or vij's takeout?

Hahaha! This made me laugh. I'll admit, I was a little frustrated when I posted this. Just finished Master and I was waiting for a chance at a Dup. I just think it would be helpful if we had a way to increase the odds of them. I think one of the reasons people are hammering for Gems is it's so difficult to pull Dups. I'm sure they're meant to be rare. I just feel the frustration. One Crystal after another. I'll get one eventually.

Make your own damn luck Wisdomtooth. I have 32 5 stars in total and you know who I've awakened naturally with crystals? Colossus, Juggs, Rhino, KK and BPCW (this is not a joke, that luck is REAL).

You know how I made my own damn luck? I awakened OG Cap with a Science gem (very happy about this), Morningstar with a Generic gem (yes she's worth it to me), Medusa with a Cosmic gem and Blade with a Skill gem.

If i wait for this game to awaken my champs then for sure next on my list are She Hulk, Antman, Hulkbuster and Cyclops which I all own as 5 stars.

Lastly you of all people complaining about RGN in MCOC makes me laugh and @TitoBandito187 shows why. Kabam's biggest White Knight doesn't like something about the game, very shocking.

The term is "champing."

Genuine question: Why do you think that is?

People don't agree with my views, so they feel the need to make it personal.
In any case, I'm not bothered. I can agree and disagree without making it personal.

Sitting on 45 5* and 15 of them are duped, while 4 of those are with gems. Out of the 45 I have 4 cosmic (ronan, groot, drax and Phoenix). I have 2 5* cosmic rank up gems (2-3 & 3-4) and 2 cosmic awakening gems. Last night I duped Phoenix.

I’d use more shards towards “class specific 5* crystals” if they were available.

Just know that I'm not here to troll, I just have a follow up: Do you feel that you've agreed and disagreed to other people's views without making it personal most of the time?

Yes.

Just an idea. Granted, I was frustrated when I posted this, but the idea certainly isn't mine. It's been suggested before. I could see a need for it.

This is a problem I can only say I have when it comes to God tier champs lol..
Let's see
I pulled Storm and duped her 5 times!..
I saved 4 5* crystals opened 1 CW, 2 CW, 3 She-hulk, 4 CW (talk about RNG at its finest)
Next 2 crystals Ronan and Electra, Next 2 crystals Electra and Ronan :-/
Pulled Loki and a few crystals later duped him..
Mean while there's a mass amount of 5*s I don't have and my Blade, GR, Iceman and DV remain unduped.. RNG can be so cruel :-(

Oh very frustrating, without a doubt. Grind arenas, do all the monthly event quests etc...for a small, tiny chance you’ll get something useful towards your roster.

I would agree with this. It’s more of a question of duping awful 5*. Duping HB and Rhino 5 times each and not being able to dupe GP or Magik is baffling.

Hulksmasshh

I just saw a post that I agreed with and made me chuckle, so wanted to give them props lol. To the OP, RNG is RNG is RNG. That's the foundation crystals have been built upon since the beginning of this game, and I've seen OP around for a while so he is probably a seasoned player. I don't quite get why we are making posts about crystal RNG in July 2018 lol. As more champions enter the basic pool, the harder it is to pull a dupe. But every new champ you pull increases your chances of pulling a dupe. And Kabam has been shoveling in more 5* shards in the game so you'll get more opportunies quicker. I'd be estatic to pull any new 5* champ after pulling to the sig 40-80 range of kamala khan, spidergwen, shehulk, falcon.

@GroundedWisdom when you finally beat the collector and then beat act 5, you can get 5* awakening crystals and a 5* genetic awakening. All of my top 5* champs have been awakened, not duped (except gwenpool who I duped a week after I used an awakening gem on her).

GroundedWisdom

I wouldn't say the problem is RNG in general. I get that it has a purpose. I just suggested the Class Crystals because it would be a way to increase odds while still leaving it to RNG. As more Champs are added, it will become harder. Not to mention it's important to have each Class of Champ. In any event, I'll get them eventually. I just wanted to put it out there.

There are crystals in the game already that have a 1/6 chance in awarding who you want awakened. And you can get them pretty easily if you deserve awakened god tier 5*
