Mythic Chests Feedback | Captain.tv | Page 1

I meant to throw some feedback about Mythic Chests a few days ago. I'll try to speak on behalf of my own perspective as a viewer, as a captain, or both, where necessary.

I think in general, I think it has been a pretty good buff for those looking for gold. After spending down my gold quite a bit, I was able to largely recover the gold I lost quickly spending a few thousand rubies in the Mythic Chests, even having yet to see the Jackpot.

I did think it was a nerf for the older Legacy Scrolls, but I think there was a greater problem that a lot of viewers were able to get multiple Mages on just the WWR/Plasma/Bone/Nightmare chests, and I'll candidly admit I was guilty of getting many there that way as well. In contrast, I still remember when Hooks spec'd his first legendary in 2021 - it took him two years to get there in effect and he has been there since the beginning.

I think one of the biggest problems I have though is for captains. Unless you are one of the perennial Dungeons streamers who could run dungeons for 12+ hours a day, 5-6+ days per week, I don't think many captains can get enough tickets to get all the skins. As a captain, I am lucky if I can get the Epic Alien skins. That probably has been the only skins I have been able to get. I haven't gotten any of the other skins as a captain.

NOTE: I did not purchase the Epic Bone Phantom, which I should have been awarded but I was not because I hit Level 30 in the past dungeons in the first day. https://discord.com/channels/500415557800296449/1261347536212590643

Whereas as a viewer, I am sitting on over 5k in rubies and 6 tickets. I have had no problem purchasing everything as a viewer (albeit I skipped the non-epic versions of the Alien skins). I think part of this is because it is far easier to collect rubies as a viewer, with running dungeons + clash. This is not really terrible because it costs less to level up units, but that cheapness does not exist as a captain for the skins.

The original cost of Epic Skins was 250 bones. I don't like that someone may need to spend as many as 1080 rubies to get 3 tickets (and yes, I am aware of the other rewards of legendary scrolls and multiple 500 gold that come along in the spending of 360 rubies in a cycle). I know it won't actually be that much, but I have been unlucky twice and didn't get my ticket until the 30th roll.

The normal skins were also much cheaper than 1 ticket in the past.

Some ideas to get these epic skins without grinding as much include:

(1) reducing Epic Skins to 2 tickets,
(2) putting two tickets in a 30-roll cycle of the mythic box, and/or
(3) putting tickets on sale individually for XYZ rubies.

Yeah, and that's what I think is a bit of a pain. I started the last 24-hour event with about 2000 rubies and even when playing through clash, unlike in the past where I can get the epic skin and then have a small surplus, I effectively spent down and made a deficit.

I think now, the grind is completely unattainable and impossible to keep up with, without spending a lot of irl money.

#

and with TWO ENTIRE ROWS refreshing at the same time very soon (as of the time of this message), that's just ridiculous. No one can grind this.

#

No one is going to spend the equivilent of 100+ USD to get all the tickets they need for all the available skins that they didn't get from raw in game grinding.

I really love this feedback. Thank you. DoveLove @spare totem @slender crater

I won't re-state what's posted here, but it would be amazing if you guys (CTV Staff) would look in to this and rebalance the rewards for Captains. SRHeart

I agree with all of the above.

Dungeons has for a while been rewarding captains that reach L30 with the Epic version of a new skin.
Maybe instead of the skin, give them 3 skin tickets so the captain can choose to buy the epic skin or buy three regular skins.
Maybe instead of requiring L30, they receive 1 skin ticket the first time they beat each L10, L20, and L30.

#

Maybe gift a skin ticket to a captain if they participate in a certain number of clash battles each clash event.

Interesting, @valid kindle !

I really love this feedback! Especially, the suggestion of adding a ticket to Captain Clash rewards. SRHeart @valid kindle

Could we please have a look at rebalancing this, most especially for captains? Unless the goal here is for everyone to NOT be able to get all the skins. . . . I just cannot grind enough Captain side to get the necessary currency to obtain the all necessary tickets, especially if I'm wanting to obtain all of the skins within the given timeframe.

360 roobies for 30 chests, turns in to 1080 roobies, for 3 tickets, which is a lot for Captains and that is just for one skin. Especially when epic skins were a flat 250 currency previously. We're now spending 360 currency for a single skin, and while the rewards in the Mythic chests are worth it, obtaining the tickets for one, and most of them are non-epic skins, just isn't balanced.

I'm not sure what the best solution is here. Maybe the rebalance can be lowering the amount of chests offered each time, to make getting the tickets more attainable. Removing the tickets from the chest all-together and returning to having the skins be a flat cost for roobies, Or looking at some of the other suggestions offered by @slender crater and @valid kindle to come up with something new to try out that will make things a bit more balanced.

And for the record, I love the Mythic Chests, so this isn't a criticism against this system. Moreso the way it is set up to grind for the currency during limited time events, in order to get the skins in the store before the time expires is unbalanced.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're still making adjustments. For tomorrow's Dungeons, we are reducing the price of Epic skins from 3 to 2 (for Captains only), and we are also awarding 2 Skin Tickets for Captains that reach Floor 30, instead of a specific skin.

Let us know what you think these changes!

glossy copper Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're still making adjustments. For tomorro...

Thank you, Rhada! I cannot wait to see all the new updates tomorrow! Thank you so much for looking into this! BethLove

That seems reasonable, thank you @glossy copper.

I'm for the help. Missed out on a few of the skins, and it sure wasn't due to a lack of effort. Pretty much resigned to the idea of not getting them all, but this is nice...

I know Rhada responded but I'd like to add my two cents. As a Captain and a Viewer who plays regularly (every dang day, usually on both), I want to say it's a SLOG of a job to TRY to grind enough rubies for the skins. I'm a collector. I WANT them all. Which means I want to play SR. 😄

I think the rubies cost needs to be reduced OR the amount of chests needed for 1 skin ticket needs to be halved. It's unreasonable to me to expect folks to grind so much, to barely even make enough for 2 skins at 3 tickets each. It's super unbalanced on both viewer and captain sides IMO.

SO while I absolutely LOOOOOVE that you guys have updated this starting tomorrow, PLEAAAASE please please consider that a lot of your viewer side placers are also captains and we want to have fun playing SR but when you have to grind this hard x2 to not even get everything, it's not fun anymore, it's a slog. It's a chore nobody wants to do. ❤️
