> [@Gems-of-War](#): > > A new Seasonal Mythic has appeared in the PvP Shop. It requires 150,000 VP for the season to unlock, and can be purchased for 2,500 Gold Marks. Only 1 copy can be purchased per Season. Once the campaign ends, this mythic will only be able to be crafted in the Soulforge via the weekly rotation of Mythics. Oh that would have been nice to know ahead of time. 2,500 gold marks in 11 weeks? That’s one way to get people to try to stop making books I guess. ---

> [@overthinker](#): > > Also, I can’t find proper words to express my frustration with resetting Alliance rank every 11 weeks. I don’t know how Alliances are supposed to work as a concept if you can’t even chat with Alliance members until you have 220k VP… and it resets every 11 weeks. How are you supposed to coordinate anything early on? Not that anyone cares about the chat, but Alliances just falls flat like this. ---

It’s standard fair. Don’t mention something so people spend the gold marks on books to save having to wait to get vp again.Then release and unreasonable price thing for said marks expecting you to spend money to get them ---

A very rough time frame: the current rotation has about 24 mythics left, give or take one or two (those that haven’t made an appearance yet but were added to the current rotation - I didn’t check that, to be honest). Which is 6 weeks - so the next one will start 9 September. PvP season is 11 weeks, starting today, ending on 6 October. This means that this exclusive season mythic will not be added before the upcoming soulforge rotation starts - but to the one that follows. At the moment, we have 118 craftable mythics (give or take 1, I could’ve made a mistake counting). Which is 29.5 (!!!) weeks. We can no longer fit even TWO full rotations per year, and more mythics are added every month. So, after the rotation starts on 9 September, it will continue to go through all troops, until a new rotation begins - about 31 March or 7 April. And on top of that, there’s no rule or logic to when individual troops appear - so this exclusive PvP season mythic released on 22 July 2024 might very well appear in the soulforge, at the latest and in the worst case scenario, at around end of October 2025. @Kafka can we please, please get this concept of changing the mythic (and legendary for that matter) rotation from 4 to 8 troops on any given week implemented ASAP? Like, yesterday? This (very rough) time frame is absolutely beyond absurd. ---

This is definitely on our radar but as the Soulforge is in legacy code it needs a larger time of carved out to go into, change and a longer testing period for it. For this reason it’s harder to slot in, if we could just change a number it would already be done. I’ll raise it again though to try to get it bumped up the list more!
