I really do not think the dev’s would care about someone paying someone else money for items or heroes. In my opinion they care about what’s in my wallet and think about how to get it into theirs.
Very true, I completely agree with you there.
What I think is not very ‘decent’ though (do not know how else to translate, sorry), is that they keep their players guessing about how much of a chance you have of actually landing a 5* hero.
No I don’t. But if you hire me for my services you know up front what you pay for and will get just that.
As a matter of fact, this construction could be seen as gambling. The Belgian minister of the justice department (Koen Geens) is considering making this illegal. Just another point of view …
I really have to agree with this. It may not be the end of E&P, but I think that it would be the beginning of the end. I watched this happen in other MMOs.
I do not completely agree with you here because some work hard to get their base to level 20, then they get their training camp to level 20, then they train, and train , and train and train … and finally get a 5* hero. Others just buy diamonds and get a 5* hero in a matter of minutes. So there is a difference already, not everybody get’s the heroes the same way.
I do see your point and I completely agree that there shouldn’t be some shady marketplace for leveled heroes. But on the other hand, the current system is in my opinion not really perfect either.
(and thanks for the “Boo!” Makes this discussion so much more ‘grown up’)
I am disagree with both of you First of all, lets not say that someone, nvm from where, gets 5* hero… so like SGG likes to say - “no guarantee” (and i think it’s main issue). They should add after Empires & Puzzles something about that Secondly, i understand what Rook says, in that option there will be huge amount of useless accounts, who just farm rare materials (if they even drop) and then give it to their main acconts or just sell to others. In conclussion i will tell - game not even tried to balanced (in that case not saying about heroes, events, tactic, your mind powers etc) in unknown random chance, that occasionally not working properly…
I see your point on ‘useless accounts’ and I agree that nobody would like them around. But I, for example, have been waiting for my last Royal Tabard for over two months (and still am). I simply think that is something that should not take so long. So my point of view: thinking about alternatives that could solve the problem of my waiting time is not a bad thing.
I do not think I have all the answers and sometimes I miss things that other then point out to me on the forum here. But I would like a way for me to advance further in this game because having a load of heroes that are stuck because of the lack of ascension materials is frustrating.
I have no 5* heroes, i don’t have even enough ascension materials when i will have them… i am playing for almost a year (maybe 8 months). I spent money, I have 2 lvl 20 train camps for a long time … So think about my alternative
It would be nice if you add more missions. Gives people something to do and gain more rewards like avatars or gems.
Ex. Complete x common quests
Successfully defend x times at silver arena or higher
Win x wars
There’s a ton of possible missions that will keep the players busy and have a break from the usual grind.
Now that morr avatars are available, collecting so many could be a mission
That would work too. Some people don’t care for cosmetic rewards. But if you give more useful rewards for collecting cosmetic rewards then people will more likely participate.
Depends on the Avatar. I’d chase an Athena, or Kailani, or heck Sigrunn! I’d REALLY go for an Alberich.
Cosmetic can be fine, depending on the face…
After spending $200 and doing a 100 EEE summons, I’m still without a single HOTM
Also, I landed 2x 5* Heroes - both green!!
- Horghall (only used by who has only Horghall as 5*)
- Morgana (not used even by who has only Morgana as 5*!!!)
How is that more fair?? And I am sure there are even sadder stories out there!
This obviously led me to understand that it is useless buying gems and to stop spending.
In fact, I am starting to get the feeling that (just like the casino) once the game senses you’re a spender, it will give you less just so that you spend more :((
I hope someone pays attention to this message. I have spent several hundred dollars supporting this game. I have not won a worthwhile piece of ascension material in months have 6 hero’s stalled all year unable to improve them or become competitive against the raid matches I am paired against. I have spent my last dime and am very close to moving on. Does anyone care…
I also have spent a lot of money on the game and am getting frustrated at the lack of ability to advance. I think that the obscene lack of Tomes of Tactics needs to be addressed. I see some people with literally two dozen maxed out 5 stars. I have the heroes, but am unable to advance more than the 7 I’ve already ascended due to the rarity of the Tomes of Tactics. This really needs to be addressed.
There are Rare Quests about every 10 days, the latest on March 1 and March 11. Did you do those? They have rare mats that are not too hard to get.
The monthly challenge events also have guaranteed rare mats for completion. These are harder to get if you don’t already have a fully ascended team.
Do you use the mystic vision at least daily? Fill all you wanted chests promptly? Defeat tough titans with a good alliance?
I am on the game 18 hrs a day. Never miss an event, quest, video or chest. We just took down a 5 star titan and I received 3 gems and a mana potion. I am always in the top 3 titan attackers and rarely not the top attacker. I even went as far as buying an ascension chest and wound up with 2 wooden shield that u can win for free at any province.
attacking 5 star titans isn’t going to get you very many ascension items. I speak from experience. You need to move up.
You are where I was back in September of last year. Don’t buy ascension packs. It will only lead to frustration. For a while I bought trainer’s tools packs…all of them. I had decent luck at first, but then had a run where I literally got nothing but farmable items from them, so that ended for me too.
If you are at the top consistently against 5 star titans and your Alliance does not appear to be advancing quickly enough, then it is time for you to search out a new alliance. There are plenty to choose from.
I recommend you reach for the sky and pick one where you’ll be toward the bottom of the performers. People there will have been where you are now and have plenty of advice to give.
Unfortunately, all packs are a joke!! I was many times tempted to buy one or the other but what I heard/read around convinced me otherwise and I am ever so happy that I did not.
I was in your position a couple of months ago, frustrated for no ascension material, consistently at the top of my alliance’s Titan hits with no seeming rewards. Luckily, I stuck with my alliance and I am so happy I did. We now consistently defeat 6* Titans with hours to spare and close to taking on 7* Titans.
My advice would be to be:
- very patient and avoid buying packs
- a bit patient and stick to the same alliance.
If however, you decide to change alliance, take a look at “Conan” Alliance…you will not regret giving us a shot
I am probably now also going to stop spending on EEE summons…I got no decent 5* and no HOTM after about 100x paid for summons. On the other hand, you hear all the time of players pulling a HOTM from a FREE Epic Token…I feel like if the system sees that you buy gems, rather than rewarding you it actually gives you less so you spend more! I might be wrong…I HOPE I AM WRONG! but that is just how it feels. So it is either rigged or messed up, and either way if I wanted to gamble I would buy Bitcoin or visit the Casino
Excellent advice apart from the plug for your alliance, although I can’t blame you. I have to say that I feel that something has changed with the HoTM and summons whether purchased or not. My luck cannot be running that badly. In the fall of last year I had HoTM coming out of my ears and now I am lucky to get one out of about the same number of summons. I feel that the chances of receiving a HoTM have been reduced drastically.
