I think you might indeed be short. I believe the Sunday money pack has 150 diamonds and the gem offer one hasā¦ I dunno, 80? You could get 90 a day on every non-Sunday. So thatās 540 diamonds from non-Sundays if you spend five bucks every day. And 440 are definitely more than you can make Sundays, I think. So yeahā¦ sadly, doesnāt seem to be doable.
Unless the devs giftbomb us on one of the 12 days of Christmas with some diamonds like they already gave us the colored gemstones. But relying on that hope and spending money for a chance seems pretty dumbā¦
Since the devs announced that they will change the Soulforge to a rotation where all mythics have to appear before it starts over again, I think we have a problem with the Soulforge until that happens, but indeed with most people having Pharos now (and need to save up again), I think the devs might indeed not have to field so many complaints about it anymore until the new system kicks in.
I am sorry that you are 1k diamonds awayā¦ that is painful, genuinely.
However, regarding this comment. It was generous, not clever. As the leader of this Pharos Ra Support Group, I will be the first to tell you that Soul Forge is far from FIXED. The fact that it took a dev Christmas gift to get us a single mythic that didnāt pop in over 2 months, says a lot.
I am not looking a gift horse in the mouth though.
I appreciate their generosity and the promised fixed rotation is supposed to arrive in 2018, so they are aware of the dissatisfaction and are making plans to correct it.
Iām wagering imaginary money the issue of Soulforge almost disappears from player complaints once this is over. Pharos-Ra was the rallying troop that everyone agreed was a problem. Without Pharos-Ra, thereāll be 10-15 smaller support groups as people rally around their chase card, but it wonāt have quite the support as this.
Iām bitter, itās irrational, but your post also boils down to āGot mine!ā so itās not exactly a comfort. Iād be far less bitter if there were some conceivable way to farm diamonds, but theyāre a slow drip. I either spend $100 on diamonds (Which Iām not sure if it even works, is the $5 bundle 1 per day?) or watch it fizzle.
The āgenerousā solution would be āfind Soulforge mechanics that people likeā. The āeasyā solution is āgive the loudest group of players the card they want so theyāll stop bugging usā.
Nimhain already stated that they will fix the mythic rotation issue by making sure all mythics appear at least once randomly before repeating the cycle. (She didnāt give an ETA.)
So, it seems like they genuinely wanted to do something nice for Christmas instead of having an agenda.
Itās also developer speak for āWe are in the process of working on it and are smart enough not to give a specific date just in case something goes wrong in QA.ā
I feel your pain. Iām going to be 30 diamonds short after i factor in buying the packs and guild tasks. Thatās just enough to make me want to punch something. Iām pretty bitter myself. Itās a lost cause at this point.
Just let me be irrational and bitter here, OK? Weāll see if people give a shit about Soulforge after Pharos-Raās gone. My bet is āthey wonātā.
People have been yelling about Dawnbringer in Arena for even longer and it also āhas no ETAā.
I have no smartphone/tablet, I play on PC/Steam. So I donāt even know what night mode is, but thank you for trying to help!
Because of the particles, Iām unable to do any decent farming. I canāt play for longer than five minutes at a time right now and like that, I wonāt get all those arcanes. Itās not like they drop every battle. Itās a shame since Skadi would have helped quite a bit in GW, but eh.
Actually this reply made me smile. And want the drink sheās having.
Now my mind has wandered to contemplating what the gift on day 12 will be. Bitter mind wants to envision the worst-case scenario. Rational mind was like, āOK, what if itās the one mythic you already have?ā Bitter mind actually thought that was funny and now I hope we all get Worldbreaker for Christmas.
Regarding Ra, we genuinely just wanted to do something nice for Christmas.We also currently have a member of the team working on how mythics rotate in the forge. It is on our radar and we are actively working on a solution at the moment.
We shy away from ETAās because in gamedev things can change at the drop of a hat. We might realise we canāt implement a feature without more work than anticipated, or the publisher might want something else done first, etc. That being said, this is something we are working on, so please bear with us while we do what we can as fast as we can.
And itās going fast, believe me - normally, I needed around 7 hours of explore for 100k souls. Now I can do it in one and a half, it seems. And thatās with taking breaks after five minutes because of the particles. Itās nice.
I still have to level some kingdoms first, but then Iām gonna aim for Dawnbringer as well, of course.
Kinda jarring to see how easy it is now, though, when before it was such a struggleā¦
