    I play Pocket Legends and on PL we understand the pure frustration and luck involved with re-roll of enchantments.

    What we did was offer solutions and earlier this year on the 5th April we received this update

    https://www.spacetimestudios.com/sho...pdate-(263900)

    Futumsh said:
    + Enchantment slots can now be saved after all available slots have been unlocked for that item. Saving slots allows you to keep specific enchantments while re-rolling others! Base costs for Enchantments have been increased. Saving slots increases the amount of gold and/or Platinum required to re-roll.
    So now on PL we have the ability to lock enchantment slots that we desire and the cost of enchanting further goes up, but our perfect enchantment slots can be saved.

    Cost to enchant

    4 slots unlocked - 10k gold or 10 Platinum
    3 slots unlocked, 1 slot locked - 35k gold or 35 platinum
    2 slots unlocked, 2 slots locked - 60k gold or 60 platinum
    1 slot unlocked, 3 slots locked - 85k gold or 85 platinum

    I do hope STS are willing to add this innovation to enchantments on Arcane Legends as well.

    good idea. then with awaken gem, the cost to awake increase from 1>3>6>9?

    I wish I could tell you exactly how many elite boss damage and mana regen awakens I got. This game encourages gambling and I feel like an idiot for thinking I could continue to enjoy this game, in the current meta of having to spend THOUSANDS of dollars to achieve good gears. And the moderators are asking how they can improve the game? How about create a system where at least spending your money is going to GUARANTEE getting what you are paying for!

    Just to break it down, that’s 3000 plat worth of awakens, or close to $200 USD which has failed to yield anything close to what I was aiming for (400 armor). The only reason I CONTINUE to play this game is because of relationships I created when this game wasn’t completely luck based. How does STS expect new players to come and enjoy this game? Let’s face it the developers are doing everything they can to squeeze the last pennies out of players before this game completely dies. I hope someone in the STS office reads this and decides that it’s time to overhaul the game and at least develop a system where your money buys you what you want!
    This is not the place to moan about being unlucky. Deal with it. You'll be unlucky plenty of times in the future.
    Sts doesn't owe you anything so you preserve no special treatment when it comes to RnG, get over it and buy the awakens u want from auction next time. Good day to u

    This sort of comment is stupid asf imo. As someone who’s both studied business, and is running a successful business, I can tell you that a successful business model is when a consumer gives currency in exchange for goods. Their overall experience is judged from when they purchase the product and doesn’t end until after they have consumed the product.

    The awakens I want can’t be found in auction as it is a maxed awaken on not only an arcane item, but one with a para. That is why I was willing to spend 40m+ on trying to get a decent awaken. I don’t want special treatment, I want the mods and devs of this game to listen to the opinion of what SO MANY OTHERS agree with, which is do something to fix the current state of the game. I play this game to be the best and can’t do that without the best awakes, and since awakens are such a key factor in determining whether gear is good or bad, I am simply venting my opinion that change is needed, at least is STS expects me to remain a customer.

    Right. You're still moaning about how unfair everything is like a crybaby so i'll just go ahead and throw the whole response in the bin.

    I'm not really sure what you're hoping to add in this thread, but if you arent going to at least state WHY you disagree, can you just stop? It's people like you, who spend no money on game, and offer no constructive POV, who help sts to justify keeping things as they are. Put simply, this game has been dying since 2014, and it continues to get smaller and smaller. The only way sts survives is by making everything pay to play, squeezing every last dollar out of people before they eventually quit. Maybe you didn't play the game before awakens existed, if so, I dont blame you. STS needs to learn that they will retain/gain players (consumers/customers) by creating systems and content that benefits both parties. At the moment, people only awaken things because it is required to in order to be any good at this game. Imagine if they could retain that system, but change it in a way that satisfies their player base? I also know that this thread is completely pointless as the devs will never do anything to this game that benefits the player. So in that sense, I guess It is crying

    I disagree with locking enhancements, even when 400 gl weapon sound more than good.

    Why won't STS remove the awakening system and refund players who paid for awakens in cash or platinum, whatever they paid with or maybe not the full amount but 60% something like that.

    From my own experience, i have sometime been terribly unlucky and sometime very lucky (i had to spend 15m once for what i want and another time got what i want with only 10 awake!) so its really about luck/rng

    Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way about Re-Rolling. Last big roll I did was on Arc Helm Lvl 71 around 2.5k Plat(500 Rolls)) and still didn’t get the Awakes I was looking for. Ofc I understand the risks of rolling before hand but the percentage of bad awakes to good awakes seems very off. Enraged/Jairus980 idea is good, if locking slots does become available it should be costly to maintain balance in the game. @Fwend nice to see they added the locking slot option to PL hopefully it will come to AL to.

    Its a highly frustrating system, I'm not surprised a lot quit when it was introduced.

    I have spent around 400m to awake my 71 arcane gears (staff, helm, armor, belt, ring, amulet and artifact 65m total item worth clean) and still not finished!

    After all that I found out about the op awakening event (I'm a returning player from 2013/14 and haven't seen this event before) I was like holy ******* **** I've spent $5k real money since last September to be op and soon I'll have to reawake all my gears, or buy duplicates...or alternatively it won't return and I'll never have the chance to get certain awakes which is more frustrating than being *** ****** for more moneys.

    I'm very happy to support AL as the devs have put tons of work into the game we all enjoy, but I'm getting to the point where it seems pointless and is becoming a disappointment as my character progression has almost stoppeed and every time I spend I feel I'm getting shafted. Sometimes I'll spend $300-500 on just awakes and get nothing, I mean wtf sts.

    The awakening for plat system has, IMO, run its course and players are generally sick of it. Maybe add elite awakes to sirscamalot as a gold sink and find a new cash cow where players don't feel so butthurt when they give you lots of real world cash for some pixels. Ty.

    People are too OCD.

    Just live with acceptable items. Have some duplicate items you can sometimes try to reawaken. If one comes out better, start wearing it. If not, keep it in your "play" set. Limit the amount of awakes you use, say only 20 elite awakes at a time, once a week or once a month. Done.

    Star light, star bright...

    If you want to play on a budget like that then that's fine. I do play for enjoyment and spending money in this game is not a issue, I would never spend money in this game if it would ever effect RL. People have goals and stats they want to keep pushing it's as simple as that. If you play using the bare minimum or acceptable items there is nothing wrong with that either. That's not how I play and never will.

    While I can respect any player who chooses to play like this, this isn’t how I play any game. I’m always willing to spend money to increase my experience. Where the issues start to grow, however, is when it feels that my investment is for nothing. As I’ve said in previous comments, I play at lvl 47 pvp, and I want to be the best. To do that, I have to put money into the game, which I have no issues doing. I just want to have confidence that it will be worthwhile.

    There are so many people here saying “it’s RNG, you’re stupid for wishing you could have better luck” “maybe you shouldn’t have put so much into the game when you should’ve known it’s a stupid system” “just buy your items from auction”:

    What if i simply want to awaken my own items, get exactly what I want, and don’t want to have to sink 3000 plat into one item and still get nothing? Why can’t it simply be that I can spend some money to have some sort of confidence that it’s going to be worthwhile?

    Some people have even made comments to suggest that “just don’t do all your awakens at once, if you get nothing try this...” *followed by a way that will supposedly “fix” your bad luck* ... doesn’t that just reinforce my point that awakens are a scam? By buying into such suggestions, you admit that this system isn’t complete RNG and that it is perhaps rigged.

    Its definitely rigged not perhaps. I spent 20 m to awaken arcane ring today and I got absolutely nothing worth keeping.
