Wait until you start getting dupes. 3 of the same sentinel. Absolutely disgusting addition to the game
Getting dupes is what I dream of. That would mean Iād finally get a Sentinel after buying gems, torches and lanterns every week to go all in ā¦
My main complaint with Underspire isā¦ getting torches from the dead-end reward. I need loot, not useless sigils.
Even legendary and mythic chests have torches as a rewardā¦ itās not cool.
Those dead-end rewards badly need a buff.
Torch refunds (torches means gems spent lasts for a tiny bit longer provided its not the last battle played in Underspire for the week, butā¦) shouldnāt be one of the better prizes as its easier to just skip the fights if they werenāt holding Sentinels hostage there.
Loot should be preferred/wanted, but 20 shards? a small amount of jewels? traitstones? 10 writs? gaard/yasmine/orpheus tokens? A majority of the loot provided is definitely in the why bother territory most of the timeā¦ Iām not excited to see trinkets either.
To be fair, trinkets do help win Diamantina battles when the kingdomās team is so-so, to put it nicely. I have more of those than Iāll ever need, thoā¦
The only drop rate that I think is just beyond horrible - is the sentinel drop rate. At the current rate, without duplicate protection, 5 years wonāt be enough to get them all.
I donāt even go for dead ends anymore. The minuscule rewards are just not worth the gems. All they need to do is guarantee one sentinel somewhere in every Underspire and everyone will spend the gems to full clear every Underspire.
Until they get sick of getting the same one every time.
It could be a lifetime with this drop rate and it might not be enoughā¦
I think of the Underspire as a giant pie wheel, and every time u find a sentinel room, u spin the wheel to see what u get. Itās a lot like those dumb game shows where thereās a teeny, tiny gold colored sliver.
āStep right up and spin the wheel!ā
āFortune can be yours if you spin to win!ā
Thatās what we want. We want to land on the jackpot. And we will keep spinning this wheel until we finally snap, rip the wheel off and punch the game show host in the face.
We could bump this thread a million times, and they would still do nothing about it.
they gotta fix the part where people dont want to spin the wheel. youāve already got people saying they donāt care anymore. its a bad sign
Given the complete and utter ignoring of requests to sort out the gem dragon duplication doubt they will ever change this.
Still no buff? How??
Has anyone found a Sentinel lately? I started out completing underspire the first few months. I switched to getting through to keystone 4 for the silver orbs. I found 2 or 3 Sentinels the first few months including one duplicate, and now I havenāt seen one since at least when this post from May was put up, probably longer. So itās been what, 5 months? 6? 7 or 8? This is so beyond ridiculous that it feels like they arenāt even in the drop table.
Yes, I got 2 duplicate sentinels, current status:
Iām told Iāve been exceptionally lucky to get that many in the 52 weeks (!!!) since their release. Iāve almost lost hope.
And my alt account, where I opened about two-third of the total number of guardian chests my main account had, has 2 sentinels in total, no duplicates. RNG is nasty
This is a bandwagon I will happily hop onto, Sentinel drop rate is indeed, a joke.
Itās been a few months since I found one and I clear ~90% of the map or something. At least I havenāt found any duplicates yet.
I just do Underspire for the glory orbs and treat the Sentinels as extra. Iāve given up on completing my troop collections years ago. Campaign troops, Hoard Mimic, dragons, tarot cards, and now Immortals lol. I know itās a live service game but itās gotten silly. I still donāt even have all the Immortals, while others unlocked every one the first week.
EDIT: I just checked and I only have 3 Sentinels . Iāve been doing near full clears since the release of the game mode.
I agree regarding the poor Underspire chest rewards and drop rates, so WHY are players routinely spending cold hard cash on this venture?
I happen to enjoy playing Underspire and, yes, I do acquire the additional torches to complete it weekly. However, as an end-player Iām able to rebuild my gem level via tributes, glory, gold and vault keys.
My advice to people routinely buying GoW gems is - donāt. More specifically, I believe investing a few pounds in this game for campaigns and whatever is fine, itās a fun hobby, but I do hope we are all spending within our means
I would have had all sentinels already, if not for the dupes. Underspire rewards are good imo. The orbs of glory are great and I get more Nysha tokens there than in explore.
I agree that underspire rewards are good for those that need them. I still have many many troops that need medals to upgrade, and I no longer spend time grinding explore for tokens. So the silver orbs are worth what amounts to basically 50 gems a day and some time to explore. If I had more time, iād go back to spending 100ish a day to get to the gold orb, and the dragonite and pet orbs at the end are nice.
But I wish I could at least get a sentinel every month or two. getting 3, then getting zero for 6-12 months is ridiculous. I canāt help but think the rate got turned down, because it seems like we all got a few, then most of us are getting none now.
