I have two accounts. Level 81 and 83. I spend the same amount on both. I don’t chase heroes but I spend a substantial amount on loot tickets, WE flasks, PoV, etc.
I summons for the same events on both accounts and play the very same way on both. My original account (83) has essentially stalled. I often have no new heroes to level and my teammates at lower levels than mine have easily surpassed me in actual strength, although my troops have better depth.
My level 81 account is progressing much better and will soon surpass my original. My troops don’t have the same depth though.
Having the two accounts I can verify that some accounts just seem luckier, it’s certainly not with me just being lucky or unlucky.
I’m sorry that you’re friend has seen such poor luck. Sadly, I think that’s just the way of it. I did 250+ summons this Christmas and got 1 Santa, that was it. I’ve also been playing for 3 years come next month and I don’t have a single S2 hero, even though I’ve probably summoned in Atlantis hundreds of times.
Part of the fun/excitement playing this game is the chance to get a new prized hero, and it would be hard to time and time again miss out. Spend less, enjoy what you have, but remain hopeful, because that’s part of the charm this game has. Remember that no ones is cursed. This game you must take in stride, because you fail more than you succeed when it comes to summoning.
Let’s make this simple.
Generally speaking, if you want a great roster you have to be willing to spend a lot of money.
This LinkedIn article by a game developer assesses the spending depth for E&P and estimates it at 440’000$.
And this was before season 3, ninjas and talents without taking troops into account.
You don’t become basically a billion worth company in 1-2 years without squeezing your customers for good.
That is my hearts desire, I now have 9 ETT’s saved up because of a minimalist spend policy that I have applied to myself. SG does not deserve money that I would otherwise spend on charity. They have gotten plenty from me for little reward. First world aid to Finnish millionaires, I don’t think so.
Bad luck, good luck, it is what it is. Despite many heavy unlucky moments I had (some of them - over 400 pulls without hotm, almost 3 years without yellow mana troop [in last 2 months I got 3 of them all of sudden]) I don’t think any account is ‘cursed’. It’s just the odds of getting a 5* (or what you want) without spending too much are too low.
Lucky summons! Nothing more. I’m playing about 3years and havent any blue Heroes from 1 season! Many pulls, many TC20 and nothing. More ca$h = more chances to get 5 stars Heroes! Wish U more luck!
I’m in same situation. Even after spending I’m not getting lengendary hero’s. I always had unlucky summons. I’m playing from two years still don’t have any S3 legendary hero. Only S2 hero I have is Tarlak. It’s frustrating. I wrote to support as well and they gave same reply nothing wrong with my account I don’t want to start again from scratch so I’m still playing with my unlucky account
The last brand new 5* hero I got was Glenda, and I got 4x of her with no more than 20 pulls in the month.
Since then I got only dupes from occasional summons in all portals/events (including Christmas event, for which I saved 43 EHT) but valhalla and tc20.
I switched strategy to bet all my resources on last valhalla portal…in many months I saved 9000 gems and 2000 Valahalla coins… and I got NOTHING only 3* and 4*.
I got my first 4mana troop 20 days ago… after 2 years and a half of gaming. But, that’s fine. I mean, I just can’t complain about my heroes’ summons, I’m simply heartbroken for my friend and all those who are in the same spot
