[Master Discussion] Black Friday Summon Event 2021 - FAQ, Discussion, Offers, Summons Results

230 Pulls total (+140 from last post)

I did two tens on Friday, and 120 right before it closed out of desperation; goal was 200 for the chests, but hoped I’d get lucky before the portal closed permanently. Wanted to try Guardians a lil harder, but figured my odds were better here… *Sigh*. & I just wanted any new 5* tbh, even if it were Guardian Owl…





& I got one 5* to show for it…

(Least he’s new??!)

I literally cried when he popped out, as I didn’t think I’d get any sort of reprieve. & Thankfully he’s a hero I’d always wanted, but even with that peace of mind, I’m not excited whatsoever. It still doesn’t make it okay… 0.4% drop rate?? I should’ve had around… 5-6 5*? Not one. & While my drop rates elsewhere are below, or at best - at - average too…

Where the ■■■■ is my luck? I can’t tell if this happens to everyone, or if I’m especially screwed and should cut my losses. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had my share of good, and bad, luck streaks before… but this month has been, frankly, on a whole nother level… Almost like the portal gods decide which months will favor you… *sigh* and when they’re not happy with ya, they won’t budge no matter how hard you try…

So really sucks it had to be during this portal, with so many potential new 5* heroes [for me] :pensive:

Idk, least I finally obtained some goodies from the chests; hadn’t even seen a 4* mat or 5* aether til these:



(They are the only three chests - out of twenty - that had high end mats)

In short: I’m not happy. Honestly think it’s nearly criminal with 2.5% odds posted (statistics blah blah coin flip blah, please don’t try and patronize me here). So anyway, I’ve given myself a week to play it out, using up all acquired EHT and Underwild coins. If I’m not satisfied by then - with my luck doing some sort of hail Mary to make up for this :poop: (which idk if it’s even possible tbh) - I’m out for a bit (or permanently, if it really comes to that). Already alerted my alliance on the subject :pensive:

I mean, it sucks; it’s unfortunate that the game is screwing me here - with low drop rates + my non-S1, non-HOTM dupe drop rate is almost a whopping 50% - but what can ya do :woman_shrugging: I can’t keep feeding the monster if it doesn’t wanna play nice, and the only way to ensure I don’t feed it is to quit paying it any attention whatsoever. Which is annoying, as I really was looking forward to the Challenge Festival… but after this debacle, I worry I won’t make it there. & Even if I do, it will probably just screw me again anyway too… :roll_eyes:

So for those of you who were just as unlucky as me, my heart goes out to you :heart::orange_heart::yellow_heart::green_heart::blue_heart::purple_heart:

It’s not fair, and anyone trying to feed you odds - or some sort of justification for em - really needs to work on their people skills. As clearly, they don’t understand how utterly frustrating, and painful it is, to be one of the few on the truly unlucky side of things. So you all have my warmest sympathies, as I deeply empathize :kissing_heart:

Sorry girl I know that feeling!

I felt sick, when nothing got out from when S4 was new and did around 500+ pulls (from S4 and Ninja tower combined) in a span of 3 months. Got Phileass fogg and 1 S1 Richard and 2 hotms.

This portal has best chances to get something, so you played your cards correctly if you wished to spend… it just didnt go your way :frowning:

Hopefully things turn around and you get your value out of free token pulls in future :slight_smile:

I totally empathise!

November has been so unkind to me summons-wise. Almost two 200 pulls at Ninja Tower, and 210 here at this Black Friday portal, and almost nothing noteworthy. One new 5* (not a Ninja), two dupes, and only three Balbars (cf. the 10 Russells I got last month for fewer pulls!). The chests were terrible too, lots of food bundles and barely any 4* mats. What is the point of food when I have nothing to level up?

RNG really played me out, everywhere in the game (extremely poor loot: slaying Titans with A+ scores so frequently to get nothing, and Raid chests, War chests, and Elemental chests that give no 4* mats either), and this left me extremely upset. This has been the worst time playing E&P in three years, and after spending so much too. My cure is to take a break too, and see if there is a correction of my luck in time to come.

I can’t begin to tell you how much I relate to your post. You’ve said it far more eloquently than I could ever do. But that’s exactly how I feel after doing 120 pulls and getting nothing new. It made me question if it’s worth it to keep playing and I feel that if my hoarded EHT and challenge event coins amount to nothing, I may stop playing altogether.

Best opportunity the devs have come up with, yet. And NO CLASSIC HEROES!!!

Of course, I got skunked. 119 5* heroes that I do not have and I land two that I already have.

Beginning to think I’m on some kind of blacklist.

And here I had the opposite experience with the portal. Having a plethora of 5* heroes on my roster already (120 of the possible 172 available in the portal), I thought I’d land a lot of duplicates. Not counting numerous Balbars, I received 7 x 5* heroes: Gaillard, Guardian Gazelle, Kunchen, Perseus, Rian, Zenobia, and Zimkitha. The only duplicate in there is the Gazelle.

I had better luck with this portal, but I had a tough time with the ninja portal. Figured since I had never done ninja summons before I’d go all out since I had no chance for dupes. After around 340 pulls and 8 Balbars later, I pulled Jade which was the only useless 5* of the bunch. Thankfully I did 1 single pull after as my saving grace and pulled the ninja that seems most desirable…if I hadn’t, would have probably taken another hiatus!

Sorry to hear your luck and I hope things turn around for you :frowning:

Take a break and then come back… We have lost so many veteran players and active forum members in the past few months, can’t afford to lose another one. :sob:

@LouisaB75, that is exactly what I did. And I have not regretted it.
I did 50 pulls in total and pulled out 4 wonderful healers: Delilah, D’Andre, Candy, and Aderyn. Now I can build the fully staffed (with a healer) corresponding mono-teams.

Moreover, I have got the Hero of the Month Balbar. His skill to fall the enemy asleep is quite interesting. I will charge him.

In addition, I was really impressed by the artwork in which these characters are created. For example, Aderyn’s design: I think it’s excellent.

So, I am pleased with this result.
Best wishes! :slight_smile:

I got pretty lucky. You never know how it’s going to go though.

I feel so sympathetic, I’ve had the same results before. When doing pulls the best approach is to set a budget and do not exceed it. These events do roll around again. Although seasonal events are only once a year, there are other events to pull from. If you do not get a 5 star in the first 20 pulls then stop and come back in a few days, or at least the following day or some hours or something. Do not continue at that point. I usually do not go beyond 120 max. And I usually get very good results. But when I don’t get results of some sort, I just don’t continue pulling. So that’s my best advice for this kind of situation. I’m really sorry that happened to you. And certainly I’ve had it happen to me before, so I get it. And that’s what I learned from having been there in the past.

I gave up on the ninja summons. Not even close to joking…I spent hundreds. I pulled six…SIX Sapphires before landing Amethyst.

Hundreds for seven 4* ninjas. Six dupes.

Like I said. I’m on some kinda list.

Bummer. That really sucks

I’m assuming this year’s black friday summon event will also include war of three kingdoms and Kalevale?

it should include everything released uo to that point, minus S1 heroes, any costumes, and the November hotm.

The lousy incantation for ages. I don’t think the drop rate is right. For about a month now, nothing has come around, not with me, not with us in the alliances and overpriced prices cause me to refrain from further purchases… Good luck
