Sentinel drop rate has killed my fun, done spending money until fixed

Yep. I got one more at some point and one more dupe…and still cant get the last one. What has it been, two years of going to silver or gold orb every single week?

Oh but i can still find minor traitstones? Sweet.

coming back to some of my old posts. Fun to see this from almost a year ago and I’ve gotten 1 or 2 more dupes and that’s it. Still missing my 6th sentinel with 2 years or so of doing underspire either to the gold orb or at least to silver every single week… I do like the new changes, but not getting this last troop with no way to get it otherwise, just hurts.

Now soon 3 months, have done Underspire every week, not a single Sentinel drop.

Close to a year since last drop here, despite Underspire completed every week.

It’s been a very long time since I’ve seen a Sentinel drop as well, and the only Underspire stuff I don’t complete every week are “ordinary” dead end rooms because there’s no chance for them to drop a skeezy prize for the effort.

But I’ve had all six for quite some time, meaning the lack doesn’t really bother me very much.

I’m reducing US battles now as well, down to 350 gems or less per run. Starting this week. After putting in 1500 gems per average every week since US was released, I found 8 Sentinels in total and 5/6 different troops. My gem stash is too low to continue, so I’m stopping here. Yellow Sentinel and 3 PvP Mythics are the only troops I’m missing. At least they will be added to the Soulforge sooner or later, unlike the last Sentinel …

It’s the yellow sentinel that pissed me off so much. I got 6 of em! Really wish they’d sort this but I’ll get more joy talking to a wall

We both are in the same boat. Only that my colorblindness betrayed me 4 times. I am missing the purple one and I got the blue sentinels five times. And each time I thought it was the purple sentinel.

My experience is that they always had a low drop rate, but before I was able to see them now and then. Lowering the drop rate chances does neither makes much sense as it already was low. So I don’t know guys..

I’m still missing the yellow and green ones. At this point, every boss room chest I’ve opened has contained nothing but trinkets. And I’ve never used a trinket :laughing:

I suggest adding the ability to create a Sentinels from trinkets.

Starting to see more sentinels. I got a new one on Sunday (Undead). Guild family mate and I both got Giant Sentinel today (new to each of us). Might be coincidence, might be a change of wind.

I have not seen a sent on 3 months. I am doing all 7 dragons each week. Why are we getting trinkets. I never use them. Trinkets are the new treasure maps. Useless

As Galvatron (Transformers) would put it: “This is bad comedy.”

They still exist - found the 9th blue Sentinel some days ago:)))

Do it bother me?

Yeeeeessss, a bit. Would be nice to find the last missing one. But I can play the game without him, and the Rainbow Crystals or Nishas are a nice reward also;)

Yeah they should give us Sentinel shards to craft them, instead of those useless trinkets. Also underspire is not something i do all weeks, only on good sinergy kingdoms. This shows how many of the troops of the past are slow to play. All battles are doable but not at 3 mins each.

This issue actually upsets me the longer it lingers. I don’t know the right words for it.

This game trends to an older demographic. Old enough that things eventually happen. I’ve come to news that some of my former guildmates have passed on fairly recently. I wish for peace for them.

Yet, Sentinels have had ridiculous drop rates since October 25, 2023 and we’re coming close to 3 years and we can’t even get the Devs to put in 5 mins and consider that the rates are just a little bit problematic and unrealistic.

If the devs want to make Kingdom levels to be some lifelong problem that no one can fully enjoy to completion, go ahead.

Troops should be available for players to get a hold of in a reasonable time frame.

I’m just pondering on the realization that “Potentially not being able to get the Sentinels in a player’s lifetime” is quite literal for some people.

I don’t like this at all and I’m not going to get along with anyone that says I got my sentinels so the system is fine.

Another week, yet zero signs, yes I am using the word signs - of a Sentinel.

Sentinel drop rate is a joke. Yet crickets from anyone that can do anything about it

When, not if, Gems of War is turned off for good there will be signs of their decline. Sentinel drop rates being one of them. Literal loot boxes designed to keep folks doing Underspire even if they prefer not to. Locking troops behind a timed paywall makes sense to keep the lights on. But requiring luck and money to own all the troops in the game is just bad business.
505 Games continues to show how bad they are at running free to play monitization games. The only reason Gems of War is still online is due to the foundation that Infinity Plus 2 built before ALL their decisions had to be approved by 505 Games.
