Atlantis portal in his description say that season 2 heroes has an increased chance to appear comparing a same stars hero of season 1. I would screenshot it but in my case it’s in italian, not really useful for many.
Thats true, but for 500 gems more cost, 0,1% more chance can’t be considered a fair increased chance.
In your example, you have a 0.06% chance of getting Joon ( 1.2% / ( 20x Legendary heroes ) ) but a 0.325% chance of getting Athena ( 1.3% / ( 4x Featured heroes ) ). So your chance of getting Athena is 541% your chance of getting Joon.
With 10,000 people purchasing a single summons, 6 will get Joon and 32 will get Athena.
Two of the featured heroes are retired HotM both of which have a 0.325% chance, compared to active HotM with a 1.3% chance.
With 10,000 people purchasing a single summons, 32 will get Athena, 32 will get Natalya, and 130 will get Aegir.
MY PERSONAL OPINION
If you are looking for fair, a Gacha mechanic is only fair if you can trade Gacha results you don’t want. Example: Gryphonkit, my wife, pulled five Hansel while chasing Red Hood ( no Red Hood for either of us ). She could get many good trades for Hansel, making up for her RNG.
Your calculations are indeed right, but the description doesn’t say “increased odds to get a season 2 heroes compared to a SPECIFIC season 1 hero” but a general season 1 that could be anything.
Don’t forget that if we are taking in consideration your example, elemental summons offer much better odds to get a regular specific then.
So you would prefer 1% season 1 and 1.5% season 2 or 0.75% S1 and 1.75% S2.
Don’t think they will increase combine above 2.5%.
Overall 65.1% S2 and 34.9% S1 is an “Increased chance” as promises.
I have more of a beef with the Seasonal only 8% rare 3.2% epic and 0.6% Legendary, that’s terrible at 11.8% Seasonal vs S1. Total Legendary is only 1.5%.
True, but then those that already have the few S2 5* will be upset they have less chance of old featured HotM that would not want 0.75% chance. Can’t please everyone.
Hmmm, good point, the English version is Featured Hero, not just Season 2 Hero, you are probably right that 1.3% includes previous HoTM but only Devs really know.
Comparing Atlantis to Event summons, the extra 500 gems is buying a 1.2% chance of a featured 5* vs. 1.0% chance of an event 5*. But these are all still very slender odds.
I have to say that no one should feel sad or disappointed when receiving a 5* hero from a summons, yet that is exactly what happens under the current system for Atlantis summons. When I purchase ‘a chance at’ heroes, I would prefer if it was ‘a chance at’ heroes that I actually want. I have reduced my spending drastically in the game. I did this primarily because I felt what was being offered was not worth the money to me and it really isn’t.
I went ahead and purchased a 30x summons for my smaller account, which did still have some season 1 5* that he didn’t have. I got two 5* with both being from season 1 and both being heroes that are already on that account in multiple. My fault. I shouldn’t have done the summons. I won’t do it again.
Then I went to my main account and did a token summons for the event. Yep, got a 5* hero from season 1. Happy? No. No one should be unhappy when obtaining a 5* hero from a token summons. I’ll keep doing the token summons, but I’m done paying for summons until this mess gets straightened out. I don’t really care what old Heroes of the Month are included in ‘a chance at.’ It’s not worth it when that ‘chance at’ is diluted by so many season 1 5* heroes.
Meanwhile, I won’t be paying for what effectively turns out to be very expensive feeder heroes for the heroes I am currently training. Yeah, I already fed those extra 5* heroes off. I had no need for them and the open slots were more valuable than those 5* heroes I did receive. That is certainly not worth taking ‘a chance at.’
Please reduce the ‘chance at’ season 1 5* heroes to zero for Atlantis summons and increase the ‘chance at’ Season 2 heroes and old heroes of the Month. I would certainly purchase ‘a chance at’ that.
My apologies @Elpis. No offense meant. You reference the description in your opening line and I wanted to make the thread more searchable in the future.
If you could edit the title to include something that mentions the specific issue, that will help people find it.
I did mention it, but not the main issue of this topic.
It is something about the line of “atlantis portal should give increased chance of season 2 heroes, but for legendary is most of a 50-50 situation”
I guess to long to make it in the title.
