I have one question: how can I obtain more aether crystals?
They only said that they will give us
but there is no word how can we get more of them.

They listed to feedback!

Oh…
Nevermind. They continue to dig a hole for this game to die in.

Jeez, I was not expecting to see alpha aethers THIS quickly… When they introduced this into beta, and based on feedback, I had expected maybe 3-6 months??
But this? This is just nonsensical??
I appreciate the free gifts, and I know that 2nd limit breaking was inevitable but I thought we would have had at least just a little bit more time to go…
On a lighter note, at least I don’t have long to wait for my beloved Green Knight to arrive 
Lets see what they’ll do to him before launch if anything (which, to be fair, until that point is fair game!)

I suspect through offers 
No other way mentioned in the released notes or in Beta.

Hah, if that is really true and we can’t get them from Mirage of Omega quest then I can just ignore that and pretend it doesn’t exits.

Didn’t they mention that a future quest will give aether crystals as rewards or did I imagine things?
At least, the current aether quests will give alpha aethers already and various other random sources.

As expected, player feedback is being ignored. More than 90% in the poll were clearly against new aethers… But of course SG doesn’t care

They did mention a future quest that would only be available after V56 release

Yes, a future quest is mentioned in Beta Lounge.
Which was not in Beta yet so we do not know what it will exacly give us.
So it will not arrive before May.

Kind of interesting, could be powerful with G Gazelle or Anabelle
Well, all players will get 10 new aethers. So it will be enough to 2LB the def teams (with variants for different war formats) and really nothing more.
So soon the wars (at least on non-top level) will become much more difficult, especially for people with weaker rosters, as they will have to attack 2LBd 5* defences with at best 1LBd 4* teams…
The additional 5 pulls from portal mean nothing, the chance to pull an Alpha Aether in 5 pulls is statistcally insignificant. Of course some lucky players will get one or two, but it would not change a situation.

According to the relevant beta topic, it requires 10 alpha aethers to get a single 5* hero to 4/90. So you can’t 2LB your whole defense team and it will just make the power gap even wider between those who will pay for new aethers and those who won’t.

You’re right, I misread sth.

Direction of the game is disturbing. It has been like that for long but this bs aethers is just as bad as it gets.
There are plenty of games out there that are totally p2w and EP still has some aspect of those not willing to pay enjoying the game but this bs again thrives for f2p & c2p to quit 1. Cheap spending 2. Playing.
Just sad.

It’s my understanding that aether will be available like the original aether, in quests and loot etc, but with an added aether portal to milk those fat cats big ol’ tiddies
