Prayers out to this guy.
I know we all seem crystal whale openings..yahaeawgfb5y.png


But here is someone different.

At what point does pulls like this get any better

And remember each crystal is 300 units so about $10 a pull...

We need a better crystal system do you think we need changes?

    Ouch. This is partly why some countries make "lootbox" purchases illegal.. some people just keep trying/playing/spinning because there's a "chance".

    I agree with the idea that if things given have such huge discrepancy there should be at least a pity system.

    100 crystak Its $1,000

    Rather do arena with those units and add him in team
    Or become a crystal opening whale somewhat
    Further depicting other guys name is against TOS of kabam

    P.s He's ex-awakened member so not a big deal for him in spending

    Not taking advantage of people with gambling addictions at all 🙄 loot boxes will be outlawed soon enough it’s predatory and other mobile companies have demonstrated equally success business models that don’t rely on a small percentage of players spending a months rent to be successful.

    Its called pseudo random ... well not quite used in loot boxes but some games use it in chance based abilities. So, say u have a 15% chance to crit. If your first hit doesn’t land a crit, the chance to crit on next hit 15 / 85 ... until u crit and then the chance is reset to 15 / 100 ...

    I love this method of randomness as pure random can just put people off and only encourages gambling

    Come on noob you live in Italy doesn’t mean you need to type like it...no there doesn’t need to be a pity system. If everyone stopped buying these overpriced crystals kabam would have to re-evaluate their price (lower) then to make up for the same amount of sales and the community would be better off.

    Companies need to have steady and increasing sales quarter after quarter. If the community wanted to put the screws to kabam for a couple months it would force them to do something in the communities favor.

    crystals are 300 units each, not 30, so it's 1000 bucks

    Hearthstone uses a 'pity' system for their packs. A running counter on every expansion on how many packs openend. Plus you never get a duplicate Legendary until you have all of them from the expansion.

    These moblie games remind me of dodgy used care salesman. Yes they have the right to make money but jeepers I need to take a shower after seeing some of their 'deals'
  • Kobster84Kobster84 Member Posts: 2,898 ★★★★★
    I don’t agree with that their should be a pity system but if there was maybe have it so like for every crystal opened the chance to get the featured champ goes up slightly like from 1% to 1.1%

    “Have to be” and “should be” are 2 very different things. There doesn’t have to be a pity timer, but there really should be.

    I haven’t in over a year and won’t ever again waste units on crystals as after 3 years of playing never once have I had any luck

    xNig, used to be same team, not anymore, I quit and quite happy to stay there; someone else made a comment that it’s not a big deal to Magus... very true. He made the video to help another team mate with content for his channel. Looks like it kind of succeeded. Bad publicity is still publicity lol. Anyway from what I know of him, this was certainly not a month’s rent like someone else said so Power to him, I don’t think he made the video for “pity”; in fact if you saw some of his other pulls as I have, some of them are pretty jaw-dropping so the odds even out over time I suppose. We started playing at the same time back in Jan 2015 but he’s quite Low profile and only did this video as something to get some subs for his team mate’s channel.

    Jist wait till

    6* fgmc crystals


    Ifs a steady trent from kabam, as we see theym push out a 6* shard offer, only matter of time. Till they start adding more shards/bonus items.

    Black friday/Cyber monday will be interesting this year, when compared to last year alot of items all devalue and new materials become more saught after.

    Yup I just spoke to him as well.

    Like you said, he did it to help a friend.

    Anyway the 100 crystals are small change to him imo. When the OR crystals were just released, my ally matched Omega for AW and he brought his R4 duped OR on attack already. :D:D
