Was her release just a fever dream? I was absolutely sure there’s a mythic troop that has the blessing effect to purple troops, much like the champions of Anu and Gaard have to blue and red.
But that was back in early March and despite checking the soul forge every week since, I don’t recall having seen her make an appearance there at all. It’s been months, and I still haven’t got her. Does she even still exist?
I missed Plague the last time in the Soul Forge because I just didn’t have quite enough Diamonds, now I’m just waiting for them to (eventually) turn up again…
I question whether or not she was ever put in the rotation. Maybe just another fever dream, but it seems like mythics always end up shoe-horned in at the end of the cycle in which they were released. She was released mid cycle, so there’s no 2-3 week excuse either.
What is going on here? Sycorax is now in the forge, before the end of the cycle in which it was released, but we’ve never seen Will of Nysha in the forge at all? Something is definitely amiss. Either they do get dropped in the pool during their release cycle, and someone forgot to put Will of Nysha in the drop pool, or they don’t, and someone messed up by putting Sycorax in the pool.
I’d still be interested in seeing some clarification on how the system works. This was just stated in another thread:
That confirms why Sycorax was available in the Soulforge just a month later. But doesn’t that mean Will of Nysha should have been available in cycle “15”? She was released was released on March 6, and would have been available on April 6th for rotation. That left 3 or 4 weeks in cycle 15 where she could have appeared.
Even if she appears in this cycle at the end, it seems like something is bugged or inconsistent with what was stated above.
Purely guessing here, but it isn’t like you all can do much better.
Maybe the Soulforge draws at random from all mythic troops. Then there is another check to see if that troop is allowed to appear in the Soulforge (to exclude Zuul, etc.). If Will of Nysha was drawn early in this cycle, it might have been flagged as “don’t allow in Soulforge”. Likewise, Sycorax may have been drawn late in the cycle, so by the time its turn happened the troop had the flag lifted, and could appear for crafting.
My theory is you have at least 2 different developers following 2 different rules.
One puts new mythics released during last cycle into brand new cycles.
While the other puts them in the cycle as soon as 28 days have past since it’s release.
This is supported by what we’ve been told for years in regards to cycles. And recently Salty saying they join the cycle a month after release.
Only recently has their been random variances to the cycles such as Sycorax.
if i would guess how “mythic cycle” is implemented:
begining of the cycle:
all mythic in the pool are flagged as viable to be offered in soulforge
pick 4 of mythics in the pool that are viable and offer them in soulforge, flag them as not viable for next pickup
repeat step 1, as long as all mythic have been flagged
go back to point 0.
when new mythic is added, after 4 weeks he gets added into the pool flagged as viable for picking up.
the differance we might be observing is because we dont know, which point of the cycle new mythics are added.
what i could guess, is that Will of Nysha was added to the pool right after the reset of the cycle (step 0), while Sycorax was added somewhere near the end
that’s all guessing, but that would at least explain why some mythics show up, right after 4 weeks period passes and others aren’t showing up for twice or more of that time
She was left out of the pool. Intentions notwithstanding, it’s a clear example of incompetence on someone’s part.
My best bud, who has worked almost 5 years to complete his collection, if even for a moment, has been 1 troop short of a half-decade goal…and it’s no big deal, right? I’m pissed for him.
