I tried, it was less popular than 300,000 glory keys, 400,000 seals, at Tenagra, or the sequel, 78,000,000 glory keys, 400,000,000 guild chests, with arms wide spread.
So, I kinda get where youāre coming from on this/these, and youāre not wrong 'cause the monthly new Mythic release threads seemingly always read like this.
For me, these threads have always been about sharingā¦ how lucky you were this time around and sharing that elation, or the misfortune you experienced and venting the frustration. Arenāt the āgacha bragsā (or woes) really just that?
Iāve mentioned this before in other threads, but I cannot think of a comparable feeling in gaming than landing a Mythic, and if a player wants to āgacha bragā (or woe) about getting a Mythic drop, Iām here for the share.

Come on, heās kidding.
There came a time not long ago when there were errors in the drop pool during New Mythic Fridays or even Monday Resets.
It got bad to the point where people were suggested to wait until other people pulled the Mythic, and resetting the game before Friday reset was always encouraged.
Remember when Taranās World used to have drop rates for chests? People used that to spot check drop rates to make sure stuff worked. Now that its no longer available, its even more important for people to be aware and not always assume the game works as intended. (keep notes and evidence if needed, but donāt assume every part of the game is broken too).
So no, I donāt feel bad at all if anyone posts their success and cost rate, as its good to see confirmation that drops are working properly and/or if RNG has shifted from normal averages (despite a near 100% chance that it will be said that algorithms havenāt been touched) .
Its certainly a bit more useful than people that just complain about everything and cause drama over pointless nothings.

For Slypenslydeās benefit more than anything, I thought this was a super lame way to end what otherwise seemed like a reasonable post.
Iām not against a separate thread for gacha results

I donāt stockpile keys for mythic releases because I need so many old mythics.
I do sometimes post my shard drops during new delve releases, just in case someone wants to keep track of those percentages. I donāt always remember to keep track of the treasures tho, so in the end, I guess my data isnāt scientific enough to be of assistance.
I donāt see it as gacha brags or woes tho. Itās easy enough to skip past posts I donāt feel like reading, just as Iām sure my posts are sometimes skipped. I donāt see the need to create a whole new thread to be skipped.
Itās not really one of his posts unless he signs it that way. He has one rhetorical trick: āattack the person, not the argumentā.
The short way to observe what happened is I voiced my opinion and āthe communityā doesnāt like it, for some definition of āthe communityā measured by āWho can post the loudest and throw in some insults?ā Whatever. I made a post, it got people talking, some people showed their butts. Typical Friday!
This is how I evaluate.
The first glance I get at Will of Nysha she seems dumb and underpowered, but thatās because the devs still havenāt found a way to express how their troops scale on an announcement image. WoN isnāt āSteal 3 magic and deal 17 damageā, but āSteal 3 magic and deal [Magic + 1] damage.ā (Devs: Iām not licensing that high-tech way to display the scaling factor, you can use it without license or credit!)
Her Magic is 8 at level 20, so I want to talk about her doing 9 damage, not 17 as advertised. Donāt like it, write your own review.
Iām already underwhelmed. Stealing 3 magic is cool, so I suppose I can say if they got the order right she does 21 damage on her first swing. So sheās a good blaster for a level 1 Explore if you can get 22 mana on turn 1. Thatās not a good place to put her.
Swing 2 sheāll hit for 33, Swing 3 sheāll hit for 45, and realistically speaking I just donāt see you winning the match if you got this far. A reasonable PvP match these days is over in 5-10 moves. It takes 3-4 of those to get 22 mana optimistically and assuming you have great board control. Hence she has the same weakness most mediocre mythics have: sheās just too dang slow without a team built to support her.
Spell Block makes her reasonably tanky vs. snipers. Essence of Magic has good flavor but is also a relatively slow burn. In my average game sheās contributing +4 to the rest of the team before my pivotal turn, Iād really like more value than that out of my mythics. Stun her and sheās worthless. Web her and sheās just as bad. She canāt protect herself from her biggest weaknesses.
The place where Will of Nysha shines best is a place where youāre generating more than 11 mana per turn, you can make the game last 8+ turns, and ideally you have something else thatās scaling Magic * 2 to really exploit her +stats. Thatās flavortown. Itās alsoā¦ a team thatās probably winning without Will of Nysha. Ouch.
In just about any situation I might want WoN, Iād rather have Tricksterās Shot. In terms of troops, her purple friends that outrank her are A.Weaver, Infernus, Obsidius, Pharos-Ra, Scorpius, The Possessed King, and in many cases Suna. Sheās really a worse version of Suna.
Will there be neat teams? Sure. Will there be meta teams? Not unless we get a lot of brand-new mechanics.

Jeah Iām gullible like thatā¦ =ā¦(.
So, your first 4 posts were just designed to get the community ātalkingā. I didnāt even understand the huge tracts of land reference from post 1. Post 2 with the false key numbers. Post 3 with everything wrong with the community, and post 4 about why the community doesnāt like what you say. Post 5 has your actual analysis of the troop, but only after you take a few more shots.
Thank you for your contributions. Personnally, I prefer @TheIdleOneās analysis, but your opinions are appreciated as well.

This is the first time Iāve gotten a Mythic from chests on my 9 month old alt account. So happy!

Jesus christā¦ I used 6000 seals last week and just used 3500 seals now, well over 600 gem keys, thousands of glory keys. Weāve done a whole bunch of legendary tasks already in my guild so Iāve gotten all the keys possible from normal+epic tasks and legendary tasks. Still no mythic.
Iām pretty sure at this point the devs flag certain accounts and just say āNope, no mythic for you.ā Statistically, 600 Gem Keys and 4000 Glory Keys should yield 1 Mythic, not to mention that I didnāt get Mother of Darkness either and I used tens of thousands of keys trying to get her.
I really think they flagged my account to yield no mythics. I havenāt gotten a mythic since I posted about not spending money.
Thereās something inherently wrong with the system when you save every single key you get between mythics being released and use them all to try to get said mythic and you donāt. When do you ever get a mythic then? Iām not using keys on non-mythic weeks, theyāre all being saved for the next mythic. But now Iām TWO mythics behind.
Aquaticus, King Bloodwood, Obsidius, Queen of Sin, Shade of Zorn, Shahbanu Vespera, The Gray King, TINA-9000, Umenath, VashāDagon ā all of these I got from opening chests by saving keys between weeks. Champion of Gaard I didnāt get but I hadnāt saved keys for him because I thought he was kind of trash. But now Mother of Darkness and Will of Nysha is two months in a row I havenāt gotten.
There are only so many sources of Mythics in the game. You can craft them with diamonds when they come up in rotation, but it takes weeks to get enough diamonds to do that. You can get them in Event chests, but it takes hundreds and hundreds of event keys to āguaranteeā it, otherwise itās the same bad chance as any other.
Do they just want people to fall behind in new content? Seems pretty ridiculous.
Edit: I just purchased 100 VIP keys for 5500 gems. No mythic. Jesus christ. Thatās the BEST CHANCE FOR A MYTHIC IN THE GAME.
5500 gems WASTED.
Hrm, how much would it cost for me to BUY 5500 gems?
Oh wow, what a deal:
2175x2 = 4350 gems for $200
943 gems for $50ā¦
145 gems for $10
73 gems for $5
$265 for 5511 gems. āYeah, our new mythic troop? Uh, just go ahead and drop a cool $265 worth of gems trying to get itā¦ oh, you didnāt get it? Well, thereās the shopā¦ā
Trying to get the latest troops in this game is one of the dumbest things Iāve ever encountered in a game. Youāve got people who get 3 copies of a new troop using 10k of the WORST keys for it (glory) meanwhile people are using thousands and thousands of gem keys, guild keys, and VIP keys and they get nothing. How broken is that?

The problem is the devs will say that soulforge is the pity timer and that chests are working as intended.
This is exactly the reason I always question the devs about the path subscription. It still wouldnāt necessarily prevent someone from overspending for multiple copies and most people use stockpiles of saved resources instead of spending money anyway.
The gem $ value is ridiculous. This is why LTs have a new task well to reach, this is why they keep adding new gem sinks. The gems to get a mythic should not cost more than a console. A whole game is way too much imho, but Iāll settle for the path cost as they gotta eat too.
It as also doesnāt help that Iāve know people gullible enough to convert diamonds to souls while missing 20+ mythics.
I just wish once theyād compromise on this issue rather than just throw RNG at us with more tripwires for the unaware.
Lol but they want us to spend Diamonds on crafting weapons too, with no new ways to actually get diamonds.
So the rate of obtaining diamonds is FIXED, but the amount of things they want us to craft from diamonds keeps increasing.

Main reason I think the old event weapon solution was unfair for new players (/anyone). It seems like maaaybe some old event weapons might get re-offered in event shops under the new weekend event system? But yeah, idk. I have players who havenāt crafted a Mythic in forever due to catching up on old weapons (which isnāt something I had to do simply because I happened to subscribe to fomo through all of the weekly events and made sure I purchased them with Gems ā not a valid reason to tax new players, or anyone, ideally).

Iāll never understand how this game can both simultaneously punish older players for playing so long and add more game modes and P2W that the average new player canāt keep up.

Valid points re the Mythic failures and punishment. Recent changes such as Epic Tasks and additional Guild Guardians, designed to get more people to spend gems, less keys etc.
For the past 15 months, Iāve not really needed gems to get Mythics, Iāve stashed and scrimped and done things to get as many keys as possible. I got 4 Gray Kings fgs, 3 Queen of Sin, 2 Tina, 2 Aquaticus, 2 Obsidius, 2 Phoenicia, 2 Shahbanu, 2 Champ of G, 3 Bloodwood etc.
MoD was a complete key wipe, months of such. W of N was twice as bad and rather silly on my part, as itās a legendary in disguise.
Upshot maybe 14k gems, 175k glory, 10k glory keys, 2.75k gem keys, 30,000 guild seals for the last 2 mythics since Epic Tasks.
