DB - why don't you want my money?

Vaelerys Targaryen

This is the third week in a row where I would have splashed out on event packs but for the inclusion of a character I already have immortalised. And I know I'm not alone. I just don't understand why you don't eliminate the possibility of pulling FF characters. It defies all logic.

I'm still loving this mega event but I can't afford to take the risk of wasting real money when the odds are never in my favour.

They problem is that if you can never pull a FF card, then you are guaranteed a new card, or an extra star on an existing one. As someone who has nearly every 4* (not all FF I might add) it really wouldn't take me very long to max out my 4*s. 5*s would quickly follow. So yes, it is a problem, but I'm yet to see a sensible solution. Citations would only delay the maxing out issue, but not for long.

But most of us don't have an endless source of money, so we can't even do pulls that often. It would still take me ages to max out all the cards, especially with the constant influx of new characters.

I would rather there be an existing crew member in evemt packs than three new crew. Most of us have crew slot space to consider.

Same here. There are a lot of existing crew I don't have FF. I like the opportunity to get more stars on them.

Vaelerys Targaryen

I like having an existing character too. I'm only asking that those of us who already have the existing character FF not get stung with a wasted extra copy. It's like punishment for our loyalty.

Citations for either 4* or 5* {Depending on the Behold level} is the only logical way to do it. And they could be used at a later time, Since new Crew are being introduced almost every week. {Except when an Event is a Re-Run.}

The game obviously can see who we have, since a Behold shows the Star Level of any Crew in the Behold we already have. Just have the Behold not include Fully Fused Crew, or offer a Citation if all we can get is Fully Fused.

Not a perfect solution, but better than people getting 12* and 15* Beholds...................

if you do have extra money and you don’t spend it on the game, I recommend you to invest them on low cost index fund. check vanguard or other brokers. It’ll give you more ROI compared to investing on dilithium (that has 0% interest and losing its buying power due to inflation)

when you need it, you can always liquidate and buy dilithium.

The answer is simple. By not taking your money, they get more from someone else. Remember that most of the money comes from a very small number of players.

I still like someone's idea of making EVERY 4* or 5* a behold when it pops up. Even event characters. That would help a lot of people.

The next step, in my opinion, would allow for the one-time press of "reshuffle." It would always be there, even when you don't have a fully-immortal behold. Once players press it, they can't go back. I'm sure a lot of people would press it just to see what their options are, but effectively it would just double the chance of getting a card you actually need.

Seems fair to me.

Dump schem offers and Dilithium offers and offer 5x 4* citations and 5x5* citations for a price

DB seems to think a single star on a legendary is worth somewhere between $25-125. I don’t expect a legendary citation pack to pop up that any rational person would find enticing.

You don't, and neither do It, but clearly there are enough people who will continually buy a single pack until they get the one card they want, even if that's the legendary, that it's worthwhile for DB. As a rule, I never buy packs where I have a least one character FF, although I have been a sucker a broken that rule occasionally when there's been at least one character I want (which, I know, makes me a part of the problem).
