I broke down the total number of burning marks that can be earned in a pvp season from the video:
You can open 1 burning chest with 10 burning marks.
Free pass: 20×9=180–18 chests
Paid pass: 50×9= 450–45 chests
Season Goals: 60×9= 540–54 chests
If you pay for the pass, you will be able to open 45 more chests. We don’t know the percentages for the random drops from burning chests, but we will probably start a thread on that. I’m guessing that the rarity of drops will be in this order: silver/gold marks>>bronze/silver/gold icons>>immortal souls.
At least with a Shiny Chest you’re guaranteed to get a troop token, a Burning Chest doesn’t even guarantee you that since they loaded it with additional items, of which only one item can be earned.
That’s why burning chests are horrible. If you vary the immortal souls from 10-50, that’s fine. We can live with that randomness.
I’m going to make a safe assumption that nobody wants extra silver marks or vp from burning chests–because we can actually farm those resources if we want to. And the VP icons can cause a big problem that I can foresee when someone all of a sudden jumps way up in your pvp league. I might be dumb at times, but even I can see what you guys are doing–you want to inflate VP scoring so we play even more pvp. Enough is enough…
Burning marks are very limited and mostly locked behind a paywall or time invested activities with season goals. I will admit that the devs had a good concept of upgrading powerful troops like kingdoms, but it has been corrupted by greed and rng hell that can be tracked all the way back to when gem dragon eggs were first introduced. We need burning marks to only drop immortal souls, plain and simple.
Im reserving final judgment till i see what they do in the shop, they did state they are making burning marks available in the PvP shop with a weekly limit , and untill we see what limit and what the gold mark exchange rate is I cant post anything thing to negative YET But first appearances looks like pay to win… … Lets hope not …
But they have also nerfed the ability to get gold marks by resetting your vp. So you won’t get them from the alliance rank until you rank up enough. Pennies add up over time.
Also, stop your ability to convert to books to start with as vo won’t be high enough. Silver marks, another waste yj stop you getting stuff you need. How many people will be screwed over by battles to be top of a league only to be leap froggy by idol pojnts
My bad. You’re right. The countdown was posted on the 30th of June with a countdown for 18 days. So you’re correct that it’s either the 17th or the 18th then.
But first appearances looks like pay to win… … Lets hope not …
