This thread is to provide early insights and discussion on the Black Friday Summon Portal for 2024.

Don’t get too attached

Details from Beta, especially brand-new Beta content, don’t tend to be very reliable for actual release.

It’s incredibly common that features are changed during Beta testing, or sometimes even after testing but before release. That is, after all, the purpose of Beta testing.

So I wouldn’t get too attached to any of this — it’s not unheard of for entire portions of features to be removed or reworked, or for radical changes to functionality to be made.

Featured Heroes

  • Hrothgar
  • Wealhtheow

Would a hero older than 2 years old, but with a costume newer be available? Like for instance I was looking at the Chronological release of heroes thread, and I see c Hel released in Nov 2022. But Hel was released In 2017 (or 2018?). So is Hel (older than 2 years) included due to newer costume? Or excluded due to release date of hero?

I could not see Hel C in the list, but I saw Aegir costume who was originally released in 2018, while the costume is arrived in 2023 January.

On Sunday I will try to collect all possible hero + costume outcomes.

3.6% chance for a non-featured legendary, with guaranteed costume? Are you sure thats not a typo and it was mean to be 1.6%? It seems really good, if so

Most of the heroes available don’t have a costume. Any of them that have a costume, will have their costume included in the portal.

So, for instance, Cao Cao already has a costume released, thus in the BF portal, if you pull Cao Cao, you will get his costume also. On the other hand, Erlang Shang does not have a costume yet. So he will come without costume, as there is not one available

Thanks but I get how it works, I was surprised that it was 3.6% because most portals are closer to 1%

This is the Black Friday portal. They discount Gem purchases and do increased value/giveaways.

This portal has always been 3.6%. They want your “end of the year” seasonal money instead of using those funds for the customary purposes of buying gifts for your friends, family, and co-workers.

Black Friday is a long time tradition in the retail industry (in the US). Companies for a long time gave employees the Friday off after Thanksgiving so that people could have time to travel to and from family. But lots of people did not travel and started to do their Christmas shopping on their vacation day and thus a retail tradition was born. Stores caught on to the tradition pretty quickly and started to offer big sales on attractive items. It was a grab for gift money, but it started at least 60 years ago. The term ‘black’ refers to the big profits earned. A company that was ‘in the black’ was making money, a company ‘in the red’ was losing money.

Things started to change in the mid-90s when internet shopping began to change shopping habits. No longer did people line up at midnight for stores to open Friday morning with hot deals. Now it is very expected for a company to offer their best sales on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Do you remember the people who lost their lives in stampedes trying to get their dirty mitts on a flatscreen TV or a Tickle Me Elmo?

Wild, wild times.

Even better, I remember the Cabbage Patch doll craze that happened a few years earlier and was way more crazy.

Looking at the list, it hits me what a poor job devs have done releasing attractive 3s and 4sin the past few years. I know there are a few, but just compare the number with 5 releases. This is just one of many indications that having a balanced and interesting menu of hero choices is taking a backseat to sales. Everyone can just use the toon heroes for lower ranking and move on. Oh, and they removed the costume portal at the next 28 day mark which should thrill new players.

Anyone in marketing over there?

Thanks for the list!

Snowball probably missing from pets? The one with patched eye and a bow and fiends with increased dmg :slight_smile:

Thanks for the sneak preview!

Is the Black Friday portal the “last” portal of the year worth using all saved up coins & gems? Or is Christmas worth a few too?

Kind of a newbie, been told to hold on for pulling on Black Friday, but wondering if there’s anything worth saving some for after.

coins wont work for black friday, but they will work for christmas.

Gems are best used for black friday in a whole year :slight_smile:

It would be amazing if they only included heroes+associated costumes from the last year. Instead of the last 2 years. If they did that
we would have an amazing portal! :100:
