I’m sure I’m far from alone but while I admire the concept of Immortals having a different way of being upgraded, the way the resources required to do so is absolutely unacceptable. The Burning Marks are very hard to come by, unless one has hundreds of dollars to throw at the game and it’s absolutely unacceptable that most of my Burning Chests are giving me Silver and Gold Marks when I ALREADY have the pets that one purchases with them! At this rate, it would take well into the 2030s to level Immortals up to at least 20 or greater.
I think they should change this so Orbs of POWER can be used to upgrade them (One level per Power Orb, these can be crafted and take time to do). It’s maddening that I have at least ten Immortal Troops forever stuck at level 3 or lower because of the lack of ‘Immortal’ souls to upgrade them and the thousands needed per troop. Completely unacceptable.
I did ask about this one, but we would not likely implement Orbs of Power to work with Immortal troops, as they were specifically designed to upgrade outside of the Orb system.
The intention being as lower level Immortals are meant to be more powerful than a fully levelled Mythic troop that has had an Orb of Power used on it.
That being said, Burning Marks are one of the rewards in Guild Wars for individuals to receive for winning battles - so there is another way to earn them on the way Guild Wars blog should be releasing before next week, for more information.
Is there any word on when the band-aid of replacing Stellarix / Wand of Stars in defense teams will be lifted?
As you mentioned Immortals were intended to be extremely powerful, and all players have access to them unlike Stellarix which is requires a fair amount of investment of luck. Immortals can be acquired and improved by just being active in PVP. Theoretically they should have leveled the playing field and given all players a way to fight back against Stellarix, right?
actually immortals even more luck-based
I got my curse-stun immortal to lvl4 just recently thanks to epic chests because trashy ‘normal’ ‘burning’ chests can’t help you to get missing/underleveled immortals to their usable state (aka invulnerable trait)
and unlike 6 eggs these ones are MUCH more spreaded
