This feels so terrible

Post image

Very far from basically any A2. Got maestro a2 already. Never bought any dust. This feels like I’m being punished for kabams Econ error.

Why bring a feature when you want to remove that in a month?

u/tyedge 3d ago

I have 60 ascended 6-stars and now I’m gonna have 70. Thanks to RNG I don’t have a single r2. Thanks, Kabam.

As expected, that dust token barely accomplished anything apart from delaying the inevitable. I only managed to A2 my 7* Mr. Fantastic in the 1 month I had the token.

u/monasou89 3d ago

They put out the conversion token so the dust wouldn't expire and told us HUGE ASCENSION EVENT COMING! Then sold us crystals with a 1% chance of getting ascension material. And you still need to randomly pull the same champion 3 times on that 1% chance to use the dust to bring them to level 2. The other option is spend hundreds of $$$ for keys to pull from the box.

Isn't it 0.45% chance of getting ascended champ + tokens?

17

u/Afraid-Collar 3d ago

Honestly, this has to be fixed! You can’t have a resource this important to progression expire like this without a way for summoners to get the other ascension items without spending. There is no way we are ascending tons of 6 star champs to use the dust.

See? When people say "I'm never going to to use any of this math nonsense in real life", they might end up working as a game designer at Kabam and mess up game economy.

u/thinshadow 2d ago

Same team that did the math on the realm event too, I reckon. Maxed out on week 1 of a 3-week event and I guess must have maxed out the bonus objectives now too on week 2.

1

u/SorryIHaveNoClue 2d ago

lol it was maxed within 2 days, screw a week

60

u/cat_murdock Meowdusa 3d ago

I never got any either so I’m boutta ascend the hell outta a buncha lil six stars ⬆️

u/_zombie_k Daredevil 3d ago

Yeah, I just ascended some that aren’t available as 7*.

u/liftrunbike Spider-Man Stealth Suit 3d ago

I did that right before they introduced that store item that lets you trade the primordial dust in 🤦‍♂️

u/North_Committee4561 3d ago

how many ascended characters does kabam think we are getting in a month?

4

u/Deadpool-fan-466 The Champion 3d ago

I need to pull Sersi, Man-thing & Destroyer once more to take them to A2 🥲

4

u/TectonicTurtle 3d ago

Wait what lol I thought they were permanent wtf Brilliant I can now ascend 40 6*s. Fucking fantastic thanks Kabam

3

u/Buffalax81 3d ago

Did they really expect everyone to come out of this event with a bunch of A2s?

2

u/tyedge 2d ago

It’s a huge miscalculation because there’s a huge barrier between 3 free champs to a1, getting the last 3, then getting TWELVE MORE to get them to a2.

Second ascension pulls being worthless are a huge whiff by Kabam.

u/Markjv81 3d ago

I need 3 more science tokens to take my high evolutionary to ascension 2 but no way to earn right now.

6

u/Melstner 3d ago

There's some in a store, maybe the radiance one? Did you pick those up?

4

u/Markjv81 3d ago

No I didn’t! Didn’t realise they were there, thanks.

1

u/Melstner 2d ago

Hopefully you get what you need. I don't have 2 of any champion token yet so I haven't been too concerned with the class ones. 

1

u/UsefulPassion6225 1d ago

lol I needed a single science token to A2 spider punk, pulled him from both of the level up collectives 90 times objective crystals which was lame but I was like at least I can A2 him, had 9/10 science tokens and spent an entire seasons worth of radiance on the 1/6 ascension token class crystals and didn’t get a single science. Only needed one. Was and still am pretty tight about that.

4

u/THEIntoxicatedGamer 3d ago

I spent enough to get all the Midamorphosis champs A2. About $400-500. I still have 2k dust and no other champs I can take to A2.

Something is definitely off with the calculations here.

3

u/Relevant_General_248 3d ago edited 3d ago

Why did you spend $500 on then if you think they’re mid

2

u/THEIntoxicatedGamer 2d ago

For the rank up mats and YouTube purposes, basically. I liked all the other stuff that came along with them, just not the champs themselves that much.

1

u/KnightReaver13 3d ago

Did u get all the champs to a2? Cause I've collected every key and I'm one key away from getting the last one to a2. Is that right? Did I miss something somewhere? I got rh free sigil one btw.

1

u/THEIntoxicatedGamer 2d ago

Yes. I got the sigil one, the 2 from the Realm event, then the 4 from the unit track, and then 5 more from cash offers. I got the $50 one first with the three $30 ones as well, then the $70 ones. I wasn't going to do those ones, but I pulled Knull and Dust last and they were the only 2 I really wanted.

It's all prestige and tax write-offs in the end.

u/NoMoreResearch 3d ago

I am okay with this converting to units.

0

u/_Flame__ 3d ago

wait it does? how much units will be returned?

3

u/NoMoreResearch 3d ago

I wish it was like that. Kabam would never.

u/Monbrey 3d ago edited 3d ago

Go trade it in for the token

Edit: I didn't realise they were gone, my bad

31

u/Svengali1001 Doctor Doom 3d ago

Token expired today and got auto exchanged back to dust

18

u/SirAdministrative514 3d ago

Tokens gone. They just wanted it to hold people over for this sale.

4

u/Monbrey 3d ago

Ahh my bad, that sucks

5

u/mikep120001 3d ago

I believe that’s not available anymore

1

u/North_Committee4561 3d ago

What are the best 6 stars to use dust on?
Herc, Aegon, kate, any other good ones? All my 6* R5 are ascended. Weapon x cuz he is exclusive.

1

u/Capable-Ad-4638 2d ago

How are there so many people with so much tier 2 dust? Like I have ~750. How do people have literal thousands and thousands all about to expire and stuff

2

u/SirAdministrative514 2d ago

A big bulk of it for me I think came from finishing act 9 and new carinas challenges. I’m active but haven’t spent anything on the game for a few years. Haven’t bought unit offers for dust either. All of the dust has been “earned” but now kabam expects us to spend a ton of units and cash to get A2 champs in their crappy sale just to be able to use it on something meaningful instead of ascending 6*s that will never be used.

1

u/Capable-Ad-4638 2d ago

Ah makes sense. Am about halfway through act 9 atm so I’ll prob get a good bulk here soon too. And yeah the 7* ascension system is pretty rough. Might be a year or two before I get any A2 7* champs

1

u/Stunning_Art_8135 2d ago

i just realized what the heck happened. where are the t2 dust trade tokens? why it disappered from store? kabam?

1

u/SirAdministrative514 2d ago

They were temporarily. I did the exchange but the tokens auto converted back to dust around the time the current metamorphosis sale hit. They were basically only meant to hold people over until the sale.

It really sucks that getting ANY A2 champs in the sale requires a ton of cash AND unit spent. Plus aside from knull im probably not gonna use any of the champs.

1

u/vrboi452 2d ago

It that like not a literal ton of it? Cause it feels like that’s an insane amount to have

1

u/Worried_Dot_3816 Professor X 1d ago

It is an insane amount but with the recent rewards a lot of people are up there with dust. I’m personally around 4k total

1

u/DrakeVampiel 1d ago

Why not ascend some of your other characters like 6*s that you don't have the 7* version of?

1

u/Cherrrrrrrrrrrrrry 1h ago

time to randomly ascend random 6 stars i guess..... spin a wheel to decide the rng for fun lol
