With the chances to get a troop being actively reduced with every week (compare the chance to get mythic X three years ago with the chance to get it today), and the soulforge being only an emergency option due to the prices, it seems about time to think of an additional way to get creatures.
I suggest an ingame system, that allows to trade 4 troops of a given rarity for 1 chosen troop of that same rarity (only for troops, that can be found in chests, so no underworld, dooms or event-bound creatures).
These trades will be with the system directly and not involve other players.
I think, it is a reasonable approach, that needs no further explanation. I know, nobody who is involved with the development of the game would ever read the forum, but maybe it could be forwarded by the moderation team if they find it acceptable.
Ive played a couple of games where theres trading systems, and it can make for a toxic game community and usualy disadvantages newer gamers rather than rewards them. I think its a bad idea… .
No new player has to have insta-access to all the good troops by simply trading for it.
By actively playing for quite some time you won’t even have this problem because of above formula.
If the problem is only about pulling the correct dragons from eggos, then there’s simpler solutions the devs could implement to prevent this from happening and affecting people in a negative way.
The game doesn’t neccessarily improve by suggesting stuff and solutions that are unlikely to ever be implemented because of knowledge-deficits on how-to, a “small team”, not enough time, or countless other possible reasons. Devs can’t even figure out how to solve current bugs affecting multiple players. to think for some unrealistic reason they’re magically capable of implementing something completely new that also works just as expected rather than intended seems like a big stretch. sadly
Instead of trading system which could be a ruin for the whole game, an upgrade of the Legendary Tasks could be interesting.
After # of Legendary Tasks, the Guild unlock (every week/sunday) another collaborative effort to fill up a Mythic Sunday Task, with various resources as ingredients not only gold and dailies specific tasks from Monday to Saturday.
The prize could be a mythic, tarots, cosmetic pet, runes, dragonite and so on
Eg.
Mythic Tasks unlocked
On Monday: Donate x gold, x traitstones, x glory, x souls to unlock the Monday Tasks
Monday Tasks: Kill 1000 Goblins (total from all active)
and so on… every day
Obviosly not really hard time consuming tasks but something that a collaborative guild can handle.
(all the previous dailies tasks could be done also on Sunday)
Everything I wrote it’s just an example, task and resources could be totally different from a better plan and develop, I just give the idea…
I think your idea for a troop trading system is a great one and it’s definitely worth bringing up on the forum. I’m sure many players have wanted to get their hands on certain troops but have been unable to due to the rarity and cost of souls. It would be great if there was a way to get the troops we want without having to grind for them or spend a ton of money. Also, I think having an accurate currency converter would make it easier for players to make sure they are getting a fair deal when trading troops. I’m sure the developers would be open to hearing your suggestion and potentially looking into it further.
