So, I’ve been on the game for well over 3 years now. I’m a C2P player, only spending on VIP, POV, and occasional event deals.
I started with ridiculously bad pull luck (18 months before my first 5*. Thorne), but it picked up a bit and I have a fairly decent roster now. So I know the 5* pulls are hit & miss. This isn’t about that
This is about the fact that, since Easter (April?) I haven’t gotten a SINGLE event hero in my summons. That includes Atlantis, Valhalla and Underwild plus the seasonal & challenge events. Not even 3*. Nothing but S1 or trainer heroes.
What the heck has happened!?
I’m certainly not going to spend money when I don’t even get the event heroes you’re advertising, and lots of folks feel the same.
It’s random. In 25 pulls today I got 5 of the event heros and the HOTM twice.
Last month I had to do 80 pulls to get Sergei and it took over 3 weeks into the month to get HOTM, This month I got him on first single pull from the event.
Yes, it is random, and the rates are already very low for getting 5*/HOTM.
But to not get ANY event heroes - of any level - and only S1 heroes in 6 months? Seems a bit more than just “random bad luck”
I never complained when I wasn’t getting 5* heroes, but now I’m getting nothing
I’ve gotten 1x lvl3 aether as a prize for top 1% raid loot this entire time, and I’ve even seen much newer accounts get every new hero and many +5 levels.
I have spent thousands of dollars on this game, but the developers prefer to have 13 year old kids playing.
It was a good run, I think I’ll take my money elsewhere. That’s how capitalism works.
So, excluding HA10 since it’s not an event summon, I’ve not experienced any increase/decrease in personal event summons. For comparison, in the previous six months to the above, I got following non-dupe 5*:
Note #1: I’m a super low spender
Note #2: I’ve been playing since December 2017, and for almost three years I had ridiculously poor non-S1 5* summoning luck. RNG has been incredibly kind to me, but it was literally two years and 11 months before my luck turned.
Third, I totally agree with other posters that it’s random. Happy gaming.
EDIT: I can’t seem to fix the formatting on my phone.
I’m not a big summoner, being F2P. Not counting HA10, my last non-S1 5* was Malicna. She was my third HOTM in 5 months. Overall I am averaging 2 non-S1 5* a year (again, not counting HA10), but I have gone well over a year without getting one.
OTOH I do seem to be pretty lucky with the non-S1 3*'s.
For me, personally, it’s definitely a mixed bag, though I wouldn’t be shocked if with the added costumes and trainers (I’m not gonna say much about trainers outside maybe they should be treated like a bonus pull more than a replacement for a potential Event hero), they’ll adjust the rates a bit.
Last Halloween Event, I got Vlad around the last day before it ended. This one, I managed to pull 2 Jacks after using all 6 saved EHTs from September. If I get any more, I’d hope at least Valeria or Frank are potential pulls, but I have great doubts.
It’s very random, I’ll admit, but I’ve had better chances of getting an HOTM or Season II/III/IV 5* than I am getting a Challenge/Seasonal/Tower Event 5*. The game has definitely told me not to trust a 10-pull to even give a new 4* hero.
