I can already hear the thousands of complaints, refund requests, and threats from people who will get ripped off by this scam.
There is a real chance that many people who drop $50 for the super Talos chest will get 0 cells to upgrade their Talos.
Then there are the people trying for their first Nemesis who will see themselves buying chest after chest trying to get 50 cells to craft.
Not to mention it just leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths to have to jump through a bunch of hoops and at the end still have to pay a bunch of money for what they want.
This was a bad idea and is gaurenteed to bring a ton of hate SP’s way.

I just don't understand SP sometimes.

Chests have been an abysmal failure from Day 1. I only ever bought one (over Xmas with a gift card) and it was an Epic cell chest.

Chests should be given for free every time we win a PVP fight or something (but they only contain a few cells or runes or gems). Get rid of the roulette wheel - the wheel itself is a well-known scam, just like the card flipping in the 72HR challenge etc..

Now people are realising the chests are also a scam...

Does not surprise me. This is for an enhanced version of Talos, therefore obtaining him was bound to be more difficult. The extreme dungeon also is harder.

Though it would have been more clear and in my opinion more 'clean' if they simply had raised the price for a chest and kept the 70%.

Social P***.. how can they be so hateful, really.
They announce this "free nemesis" thing, but it is just a hidden plan to force people spend gems, a lot of people that usually don't, to force to purchase their stupid chests with a shameful 50% chance.... the tricky vip breeding events, just to get as much money as possible from the outdated vips (and with the usual super low chance)
Since this company was purchased by TT, it is really a shame. Disgraceful. Thieves and scammers hidden behind a friendly mask.

Also the fact that the have included the use of speed relics, knowing that they are bugged is just shameful. They knew exactly what they were doing by putting those in. I am all for the difficulty but im not for the developers to take advantage of a bug that they should be fixing to create difficulty. Its just a kick in the teeth. Makes you wonder if the uriel bug was still in the game would they use that too?

@Ekto-Gamat exactly. If it was still 70% but more expensive I’d feel better about buying. At 50% it seems way too easy to spend a lot more than $30 to try and get the cells.
I can only get the first 2 done so I need to get at least 50 from a chest to craft.

I bought two chest of Talos the automaton and both was 50 cells of Talos

I would rather just wait until the Nemesis come back on sale again.

However, knowing SP they will now charge more for Samael/Xiron compared to Lucifire/Llum.

I want to purchase 3 Nemesis monsters (funds permitting), Samael and Xiron obviously, and I am torn between Warthak or Faraday for the third one.

I won't be buying Talos because he is awful in design and execution (a reskinned Nemestriborg).

I want Faraday, still kicking myself for not getting him when he went on sale. Maybe also Xiron.
