Elite awakens are a scam

[Olympus]

After spending upwards of 600 elite awakens to reawaken my arcane ring, I have come to the realisation that this game is a complete scam. Only on my very last awake did I manage to get an awaken with 250 armor, and since there are four slots you would think my chances would be a bit better than that!

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!

The awakes lately have been so terrible,I spent more and ebon armour trying to awake it with just one good awake than the actual armour cost,that isn't even a joke sadly,start should actually try to better the odds for these awakes

I guess anything is about luck here. You can get what you were dreaming after just few tries, or spend TOO much and get in the end worse than you had had. Sounds funny but it's about luck. Maybe if you feel unlucky is better to buy directly the item you're looking for with good awakens into it already.

[Kakashis]

It's all about luck and I'll tell u that $200 won't get you the best items in the game. There used to be a player who spent 10k to get the best items like the Dragon arcane ring and other op items. Guess what happened when everyone started to have such items? Rage quit. Just play within your means and you don't have to have the best of the best items.

[Drone]

There has to be an algorithm with this “luck”, as trash awakenings pop up more often than ones that are actually useful. In other words, spend at your own risk.

[|Ares|]

RNG is a way of somehow preventing pay to win in this game. Fair enough tho.

[Thewolfbull]

Just buy the gear with the awake you want, chances are the person you buy from used 10-20 gems max.

[Pleasant]

It’s all about luck my guy. I used about 2m on elite awakening and got 425 armor awake on a venom amulet

Play for enjoyment. Do not play for anxiety. If you think xxx will get you exactly what you want, and you will scream and throw things around when it doesn't, time to go for a walk.

Yeah, good point Fierce.

Well its pay to win. They're pretty obvious about it, and make no efforts to hide it or convince players otherwise.

As far as spending goes, its never really worth the money to awaken anything, nor spend plat to open chests. Too much randomness both with awakens and chests. Just on awakens alone I count a possible 101 options at each tier, so trying to get a specific combination on the ring would be:

1 in 101 chance of getting the first
1 in 10,201 chance of getting the second
1 in 1,030,301 chance of getting the third
1 in 104,060,401 chance of getting the fourth

Some state lotteries have better chances than that to win the jackpot, so there's that. Probably not *exact* math chances but you get the idea.

It *is* profitable to instead buy up elite gems with plat or gold on sale, then sell them on the AH when the price is right. Its also worth it to buy chests on the cheap, sit on them for awhile then resell them for more. After some years of playing I think I've opened maybe one plat chest, then quickly realized my folly when I could just buy the precise item I wanted from the AH that was 'good enough' for my needs.

If you realize you'll never get the perfect gear rolls, as long as you're content with that then you'll enjoy the game.

[Kystone]

So everyone's opinion is wrong except yours

[Enraged]

What about an Option to Lock/Unlock an Awakening of your choice for an amount of gold/plat?

(eg. you got 50%gl on first slot, you can lock it for an x amount of gold/plat then the next time you re-awake, only the remaining slots will be touched.)

also, the price to lock an awakening will increase as you proceed with the rest of the slots.

No hate tho, just my opinion.

extremely bad idea. otherwise you see 4%,4%,4%,4% armor in auction or 100gl,100gl,100gl,100gl priced for 500m.
and this will destroy the game.

Dw bro i spent 50 m on ring to just get 300 armor

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

+ 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.

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

No idea who you are to tell people's opinions aren't relevant.
Get off your high horse because you sound like a total mug. Ty

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

[Marosok]

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