No, you are responding to the troll.

@Fox

I certainly hope this new 'challenge' will not be a challenge of spending more gems than the other team in another form, otherwise I was perfectly fine with this format and these rewards.

The original rewards were too low. Once the initial novelty faded, why spend the equivalent of 4 Golden Relic chests on a chance of a Diamond relic when you could spend it on... 4 Golden Relic chests. Let's be candid: the income generation from this event for SP is primarily about encouraging us to expand our rosters (monsters and runes). The revive costs were short term opportunistic income that would have dried up because the old rewards were not worth the gem cost. The current rewards give no incentive to prepare for and anticipate this event, so they lose all income generation from the event. If the next version has better rewards but imposes high event costs... this event is a waste of time.

Callum is confusing special damage with Ultimates (Specials). He is thinking that the trait (50% less special damage) means 50% less damage from Ultimates.

@david-ml said in Team shop. Runes buys for 1.8K. Odds of VII - X?:

@ekto-gamat I am honestly surprised that you say that! If TBGR is a reason, then you'd be better off investing into a few more Bodyguards or Pet's for 1100 coins (2420 for a Lvl 105)

Can't use duplicates...

Rewards were basically free though so that's all fine.

IDK. I don't place money value on time spent, but it's not as if the rewards came as "side effect" to normal gameplay (like mazes, islands etc.). And if you spend several hours on an event, discuss strategies with your team, then the reward should reflect that.

Thing we sometimes lose sight of is that we play for fun.

If the time spent discussing strategies and etc on the event is not fun, that is an issue. If it is enjoyable, then that is the reward and anything else is a bonus.

I certainly place a time value on Races, which is tedious and a waste of my time, so mostly I don't race. But I do enjoy TBG, more so now that revival is gone. So for me there is no time cost - it is time reward.

@JasmineSkunk

Well yes, getting high rewards here is very (prohibitively) expensive. But I think you are miscalculating how expensive.

14 gems buys 10 L cells.
L cells give you 20 points each.
So that is 200 points for 14 gems.
So 70 gems for 1000 points (buying cells for different Ls; otherwise the price increases).

Rares cost gold so basically free for developed players. Buying them to the limit gives 200 points each Rare.

So, I have only bought R cells so far and have 800 points already for free. It is usual to make it to the first milestone at least without spending any gems, FWIW.

@Frunobulax

We will have to see how it works in practice, but seems to me the new system discourages tanking. A team reforming to get easy wars will not be able to access the best team shop items (diamond relics, exclusive monsters like Talany).

To a developing player, runes may be more useful than relics. For an advanced player, relics are preferable. So, looks like the rewards are appropriately targeted, to me.

Sorry David - Specials add spice, and chance.

Mind you, specials like Thalassa's shouldn't be in the game.

@RDT925 He is something special. He has a Hater trait.
