I just thought I’d share some info with you about future console troop releases, because I’m sure many of you are curious exactly HOW we’re going to catch you up to Mobile/PC.
In handling the plans for the catch-up, we’ve aimed to hit a few targets:
Make sure you folks can get EVERYTHING the Mobile/PC players have (obviously)
Make sure that you get a little help with collecting it all
Make sure you don’t get SO much help, that our compatriots on Mobile/PC feel hard-done-by!
So here’s the plan:
Once we release our first console update (hopefully only a couple of weeks away at most), we’ll start doing 2-3 different troops per week in Glory Reward Packs. There might even be a week or two with 4 troops!
We’ll try to keep the most popular troops available in these packs
Quite a few of the Glory packs will have a slight discount compared to the ones on Mobile/PC (details still to be determined). These discounts will end once you’re all caught up.
Other troops will be added to the various chests, at the rate of 2-4 per week. Most Legendary troops will follow this pattern (being added to chests) as Mobile/PC Legendaries have been doing for some time now.
Mythics will appear two at a time, instead of one at a time, and will have the exclusivity period like Mobile/PC.
That’s not going to put you all on exactly equal footing with Mobile/PC with regards to the acquisition of all troops, but there’s no way we can ever do that perfectly, I don’t believe, since they had a year’s head start on you! What’s more, it’s not as if you’re playing against each other, so having slightly different power curves isn’t going to be a dealbreaker.
Once you’re all caught up, however, it’ll be absolutely glorious, as every announcement about new content will apply to BOTH platforms, and you can all enjoy the same content at the same time!
I don’t know that I fully understand the plan for Legendaries (will we have a chance to focus our efforts on these with event chests?), but otherwise, this sounds great! Looking forward to the roll-out!
To be honest, Bunni’nog is much too niche to be a Legendary, in my opinion. Typically, “good against [specific type]” troops tend to be Epic. He’s more of an Epic to me than Legendary.
This is what I envisioned happening and that suits me 110%. In fact, I thought 3 MINIMUM would be happening every week a LOT.
“Glory packs will have a slight discount”
That’s fair on us and I don’t think anyone can say otherwise.
“Mythics will appear two at a time”
That’s an added bonus I’ll happily take, too. Under 2-3% of the entire console playerbase will even get a mythic and then there’s getting said mythic fully traited.
Either way, I’m happy with the way this is being handled and don’t have any complaints.
Don’t think getting mythic is easy. .
I’ve opened 10000+ glory keys and 1000+ gems keys since the first one was released in still don’t have none of them. .
Sounds amazingly fair i hope our Console comrades get a discount of 20% glory at least on each pack. Assuming they would ignore the commom packs, because it’s easier to get gold keys, it leaves Ultra-Rare packs at 240 glory and Epics at 320.
560 glory weekly is reasonable for at least one of each card to complete the collection.
I don’t think you’ll need to haul out the Peasant’s pitchforks for the riot yet. It does look like they are very busy with all these different balls in the air.
Its kind of nice when the a Task or two corresponds with the Weekly Event. In this case Pridelands on console, I’ve got a reason to try out Rakshanin in PvP.
In addition I’ll like make another plug for adding a TASK E (weekly task) that somehow corresponds to the weekly kingdom event.
