    Right now, I'm saving my gold coins looking for 2-3 specific champs that I use in multiple locations (Ninja, Helicath, Cardiel). Once I get those key champs awakened, and start collecting some essences from the dungeon, then I'll use the gold coins for summoning. But right now, I would hate to use my gold coins to summon, get a trash rare, and then have Ninja show up in the store and not be able to purchase him.

    【Sunglasses Finnish Pirates】 Thank you i have not dared to do anything with the altar, i like the system since it's souls and i am a christian so i believe in the soul and i like arena most. The essence part made me laugh since i made a joke video with Jizoh & The Dark Crystal SkekSis lizard / bird race character SkekSil AKA Chamberlain's voice, the SkekSis drain essence from the the souls / life force of people of World of Thra and this has been a jkoe between me and my BFF just screaming "Essence!" as enthusiastically as the SkekSis race yell's for the essence :) Plarium might have seen The Dark Crystal i think, these are great naming choices :) Now's even the first soul chase tournament :)

    Nothing was said about the only thing I need to know about, and that's the mortal soul coins. Are there a reason to hang on to them? should I just use them on mortal soulstones? do they have another purpose? I'm guessing the answer is to just use them, but I don't like guessing in this kind of game.

  • @fully5733
    @fully5733 2 роки тому +1

    It’s about a 1/600,000 chance to get a specific 6* legendary from mortal stones or a 1/40,000 chance from immortal stones.
    I’m not sure telling people soulstones is the best chance to get what your looking for.

    • @SkratchPlays
      @SkratchPlays  2 роки тому +1

  • @Trippp550
    @Trippp550 2 роки тому

    But statistically speaking, wouldn’t it actually potentially take longer to wait until you summon
    the champion you want that’s also 6 stars? I mean think about how many years it’s taken some people just to pull that one legendary they’ve been wanting? Now think if after 2 years waiting to pull that trunda, it’s only 3 out of 6 stars? It may take forever and be expensive to buy your wanted champion from the soul merchant, but I feel like that would still take less time then just buying immortal shards and hoping you not only you’ll your desired champion but that it’s also the desired 6 stars. That’s like twice as hard. Actually that would be 6 times harder. Imagine your hunting for a Trunda only now the chance to pull her is 6 times harder?
    Also, Hellhades said Plarium said they are not doing any extra summoning events with soul stones. So pull them when you get them.

I get what you're saying, but I guess for now I'll stick with the 1-Star Legendaries that I want until I have those that I want and then swap over to buying immortal soul stones

    So far the dupe perfect souls I've gotten are different Star levels. So I'm wondering if you've got a perfect soul in your inventory can it get same level? If not keeping 1 Star of the champ you want might get you a higher awakening level from a shard pull if you get lucky again. Do you want to wait for so long? Probably not but is it going to take forever to upgrade lvl 1 Lego souls to higher? Yes. So until someone confirms you can infact get 2 of the same level perfect souls in your inventory for the same champ I'm saving the 1 and 2 stars for champs I want to maybe one day get a 3+ perfect soul for them from the get go

    I'm a little irritated with stage 15. I never get any coins other than the rare ones or common ones or whatever. It says that it drops the other currency as well but I havent seen a single one. Now that could be bc I've only been able to run it 4 times up to this point but I was under the impression that you got all three for that stage at equal rates. Guess not.
    Very frustrating and disappointing
    I'm constantly suprised how raid completely ignores their analytics. They cant keep players. They are the most downloaded gatcha game but they also have the highest turn over. If players dont stick around for years then they have 0 chance of doing any of this.
    I've been around since day 1 but that's insanely rare for plarium. We are in the minority for sure.
    Seems like they would follow their data to the conclusion that people dont want to wait years to awaken their champs.
    Idk. Just thinking out loud here. So to speak errr....type
    Whatever.

    Is the game fun, yes but the terrible cash grab systems that surround the actual core of the content are terrible. As you said the system is designed to keep you grinding for a long time, the issue with that is that someone can simply luck into a 6 star legendary soul for a meta champ and destroy in arena because they were LUCKY!! That's awesome in the context of the YEAR OF PVP

I play these games while I'm away from my computers, so in that way I'm too far to smash them when i spend 3 million silver and can't even upgrade a half arse POS piece of gear. I can't even remember when was the last time I got a 5 star with descent stats for any of my toons. They can have this sheet games. 😅🤣😂

    The same thoughts. After seeing the ods and the whole setup I thought to myself. Relax this thing has very little influence on f2p.

    This system needs a massive & realistic rework, not worth the grind. Plarium's push for P2P whales will be their eventual undoing. It's a parasitic business model & unsustainable long term. Then where does that leave the players who invested their time & cash? With an abandoned ghost town of an app, that's where.

    How the fuck you use those eternal Soul essenses? No one has shown in a video what you can buy, where and how it works. Not 1 visual video on it.

    I don't like any of the new implementations. Just another P2P/P2W scheme and unachievable resources for F2P unless the plan is to keep playing for years. The attempt to add content is only a way to keep the paying players. All others will soon quit if they haven't already, myself included.
    Disappointed in the way the game is going.
