Try it again the chances are you luck will change eventually but I am sure SG thanks you for your donation.

Suggestion; grab a dice and roll it, if you can roll a dozen 6’s in a row then it’s going to be your lucky day.
I bet the chances of you pulling a 5* to be far better than the dice option but hey the dice is far cheaper.

best chance are use your pull at Atlantis summon , do 30x pull and got 3 mats chests as well

Fix the summons. I’m sick of seeing lev 20 players with a full team of 5s on there defences and discussing in chat how they keep getting more. I’m lev 42 and still can’t make a full 5 team.

This post was the very first thing I read on the community forum and it shaped my understanding of the game early on. Digesting this information has made the game way more enjoyable because I know what I’m playing with. You can go as deep as you want, but we’re still dealing with blind odds.
I’m not a gambling man, I don’t have an addictive personality, but I can see how at times this game can be frustrating for the uninitiated.
All I’m saying is that I am grateful for this post and hope everyone reads it and understands it. <3

i am at 28 lvl. but i have only two 4* hero.
System always gave me 3* from atlantis, events, challenges, spend gems.
Some players got 4 5 * hero from video

Your post doesn’t have any suggestions or ideas to improve this. Did you have something in mind to improve the possibility of 4 and 5 star heroes? If not then there are other threads we could merge this with. Or at the very least we need to move it to the general discussion thread. Also at level 28 you should have some training camps leveled up. If you don’t spend much on summons TC20 is a must and should be your priority. You can use TC13 for a chance at 4 star heroes until you get to TC20.

@zephyr1 @Rook @Kerridoc merge?/ move?

Thanks @Alyssaann1014, merged. :heart_decoration:

@Mehmet999 I moved your question to a thread that can help address it. :slight_smile:

Obviously that’s no fun. But it’s also the most common outcome by far of any Summons, since the chance of getting a 3* is quite high:

And your particular results can always be better or worse, since every summons is just a chance at getting a hero you want.

This thread has proven popular for helping players gain perspective on the chance-taking nature of summoning. I encourage you to read the top post, and then ask any questions or share any thoughts you have.

Hope this helps, and that your luck improves!

Ok, I need to cool down!! But either confess that I can’t pace with that! The whole thing is a lottery cause it was setted to be like this!! And I refer to SG devs!! Every single % could be changed!! E&P doesn’t evolved by itself, takin life and the full control of everything! It isn’t Skynet…!!! Not yet!!!
So or i should be seriously worried about my BAD LUCK…or should tryin to rationalize " the random "!!!
I’m level 34, it’s more than a year that I’m playing! I’m a month vip, and flash deals buyer as well as my big friend and alliance mate ( but freshly in the game )…and he’s able to make true my secret dreams!!! I think to Marjanna, he pick her! I think to Joon, he pick him, and so on with Vivica, Domitia, Lianna…, many more and three HOTM!!!
By my side in one year i get Isarnia!! Not a single #@# BIG SNIPER!!! Wasted 3x10…and lots single summon!! What’s wrong with me? I mean i have the perception, the strange feeling, that the game is trying to compensate our teams in the way to full gift him 5 FAST SNIPERS and to me 3* and 4* LOW NOTHING!!! I don’t even calculate the AM spread between us…cause it would ridiculous! WHY?? Are months that I’m asking the same question and still haven’t an answer that isn’t just the bad luck! The only variable is our provenance!!
I’m from Roma ( btw sorry for my english )…, he’s from a very, very little town in Austria!
Roma is a huge metropoli and I’m quite sure I’m not the only one in town to play this game…:grin:!! We count like over 4 millions of citizens ( officially 2.8 )…, basically almost ⅓ of his entire country population! The doubt is…, DO WE ( whom live in big towns ) REALLY HAS THE SAME CHANCES TO PICK 5*…AS OTHER WHO LIVE IN SMALL TOWNS??? Being the only one to play the game for thousands of Km², will positively increase the chances??
I’m the first to admit that it sounds like a fool one…but it’s the only actual difference between me and my alliance mate! Bad luck apart ofc!
Maybe some geo-demographical parameters are setted in the engine!! For example a thounds people that play this game in L.A. …maybe have to try and try and try again for a 5* hero, while the lonely player of …idk, somewhere in Wyoming, has an easy way to them!!!
The only one who can change something are the devs! If they didn’t do it…, they wont it!
SG, btw, after a year of daily playing, wasted gems ( real money ) forgotten hopes and lost wishes…a couple of “TELESCOPE” would be very,very appreciated!!!

Nah mate, it’s just bad luck for ya. Sorry. Hubby and I live in the same city and house. He pulls great heroes. Almost a full team of 5*. I get 3* and 4*. I did manage to get a HOTM and another 5*. I’ve played just a few weeks longer than him.

I often rally with “unfairness”, but this one is just bad luck. Hope you get better luck soon.

I debated posting this info, but decided eh why not.

How much I spent since March 2018:

I definitely fell into the trap of the gacha with this game. After d/ling my order history from google play and realizing i dropped 17k on a game, I decided to quit.

There’s no one to blame but me, I realize this. Feel free to flame away.

@KLinMayhem Thanks for sharing this!

I think this provides some very helpful insights, I’m really glad you ultimately decided to post this.

So often players see rosters from others, and it’s easy for that to create a longing to chase those same heroes. Seeing exactly what you’ve spent alongside what you got from it creates a lot of perspective.

I hope this will be helpful for other players, so they can be more self-aware of their budgets and make decisions about how much money they want to spend.

I would imagine it would be extremely hard or impossible to transition from that kind of spending to F2P/C2P, since it would very fundamentally change the nature of the game for you. So I can completely understand your reasons for leaving the game now — though I’ll certainly miss your contributions to the community. As far as I’m concerned, those are far more valuable than your roster.

Thank you very much for sharing this. Definitely sobering information. I’m really sorry to see you go, but it sure does look like the healthy choice. $1,300 a month is a lot of money.
