Just logged to ask you all this:
Is this the almighty event you were all waiting anxious for? The best event of the whole year????!!!!
All I can say is: LOL!
I don't know how could NF ruined this... why not just copy/paste the same as last years, and make this a celebration event. ONE Immortal event per Year, and this is all that you all got?
I'm proud of my 0/200 LoL runs for this.
Correct me if I’m wrong, so it’s clear to NF what players were expecting from a once a year event: make the soul 300 not 500. Slightly higher due to Lilith fragments and rare souls would also drop. Shards would drop in 5, 10, and occasionally 50 increments. We were expecting a chance to win five or more Eddies. This event is designed 2-3 max... Gauntlet is coming, duplicate Eddies are needed, or wanted for future sacrifice fodder, or fill in a missing Eddie. We wanted an event to burn through ironite on. We wanted a lot of Eddies.
... their's probably a better chance of getting MORE 5 star Eddies if you spent the same amount of ironite on general rare souls.
Alright guys, I'm here to share my spectacular results here after playing this event:
After around 720 sands of time
(Average of 240 ironite cost +the 80 you start with)
Then you add the event fragments I was able to get from challenges, I have 288 fragments

88 fragments.... That's all I was able to get.
FROM OVER 700 SANDS OF TIME.
With the frag drops being 2, 5, and 10, the math says there won't be a lot of variation in results across players (especially compared to events with 50 frag drops). Most reports here indicate that about 40 SoT fills are needed to get 500 frag drops, which translates to about 12-13 frags per SoT fill.
200 battles gave me 180 Fragments.
The Immortal Soul gave me 7th Son Eddie. 3rd for me. Think I’ve spent 15 SoT refils and the refils needed to get to 500 is completly not worth it. Dissappointing guys.
Well I was relatively happy with the event. I babysat the device over the weekend and probably spent about 240ironite on sot refills. The immortal soul I earned gave me my first clansmen. I have about 144 fragments left over. Hoping to save them for the next immortal event.
the droprates are totally disapointing. atleast, my first soul, after ~ 170 runs gave me edward, which was a missing ed. im thinkin about to buy the 250 frags for 1200 iron coins, to get atleast a second soul. im missing vhe, cyborg, pom and vision. do you think its worth to risk it ? actually i have 2800 iron coins, but wanted to use them for the next upcoming eddie/ another chance to get the beast -.-
plus wtf? why are there 2 or 5 fragment drops if 500 are needed ? and then, they dont have a 100% dropchance. i dont get it, why this event like the immortal one before, 200 frags for one soul.
Yeah, not a greta event but just dont play it is my view if you dont want it. It is what it is and I have went in and got a dupe Viking and will go for one more soul and that is it for me. Was hoping for Clansman but no luck - probably would have been better trying the souls packs for him rather than this but hey ho, thats the way it goes - my ironite will build up again but not going much more into this event as the drops are awful compared to all others - I presume new people might go for it though and spend some money. My two kids have low level accounts and to be honest I thought about going for it for them on auto and spend their piles of ironite but no, too much time to get a possible dupe. A bit of a waste of ironite from me but in the end no major loss as it will build back for next month.
Agree with all others - not like the last event, nowehre near it but then we know the parameters fo this one so we know it is not as good - right?
Either way lets not get too bothered about this event - I do feel for the error ridden side of it though. I only had a few crashes on my iphone and it did not really effect my play much at all so I was lucky I guess.
If only they hadn't announced it as the best event ever ... if only ...Quote:

Time consuming - stupid events. Poor rewards for hours of playing. RNG everywhere etc.
Every day increasing gap between players because of idiotic relics.
I'm scared to event think about the next event cleanse the corruption. Extreme difficulty - what does it mean? We will have to spend thousands of ironite during that event? Play the game 20 hours per day and pray for rewards?
Wish I'd done the maths/seen drop rates beforehand - didn't have much Ironite saved up so used it all on refills and still only on 131 battles. Only got 434 frags including 300 from achievements and 10 free from the store - that's less than 1 per battle on average. Annoyingly, that means I'd need 70 extra battles either way in order to get to 500 fragments (either getting 200 battle reward or random drops), so another 7ish refills needed. Not going to plough money in to get there, will just have to keep the shards for next year.
my second soul = dupe useless vicking updated to 100 to use him in next sacrifice event :(
I need 6/15 event eddies
Always no news from NF loool, support at his best
The easiest solution with this *pathetic Drop Rate and RNG issue is to let the user PICK which Eddie they want. I dropped 3 souls and 3 dupes. I came in only needing Mystic, Edward, and POM.
EDIT: Just ran the last of my 80 sands of time with 2 frags received.
EDIT: Fucking pathetic Drop Rate.
The developers got something right with the Gemini event. Save a little more to purchase the one you want/need.
Spent all my ironite for second soul and...visions Eddie...again...
For those that mentioned it, what makes you guys think the frags will roll over for next time? This was not the case from the last Immortal Event. Don’t count on that.
For me the silver lining is Edward the Great dropped from the 2nd and final Soul I went for. I didn’t have him, so mission accomplished.
I am going for a second sould at the moment - It will be another dupe I am sure but at least I am getting lots of upgrdae shards etc from it so that's fine with me. At the end of this I will have sopent maybe around 800-900 ironite as I started with 3350 and going to be around 2,400-500 I think. So not too bothered. I had a go and did not Clansman. Only looking for him and Alexander (and Coalgiver) so it was always going to be a shot in the dark....but I did get a fair pile of gunner and assassin upgrade stuff for the same price as a 10 soul pack and I will get my two legendary Eds too so really it is fine with me - not amazing but with the advertised drop rates it was always going to be a struggle over two days to get anymore than that.
Edit: just got to my second sould (502/500) and got....the second dupe Viking from the event! LOL, oh well upgrade and sac it is for both of them!
i have some frags stored from last year, but they are called "old immortal soul" (see the attachement) so they are useless. another small "f*** you" to the loyal player base. don't think you will be able to continue the chase next year. in case you are planning to stick around much longer.Quote:

So I got 163 frags left and minus the 10 from the store I gathered 153 - to be fair I did 50:50 - startet with LoL VII and after realizing it's not worth it going for LoL III (6 SoT).
Greatest even of all time? I really hope not - that would be awful! I wouldn't call these events not even events. They are basically throw ironite in and play the same slot machine over and over again for very little reward. It's getting beyond boring ... maybe I should take a summer brake - I think about it.
Btw: just in this thread alone for 2 different players opening 2 souls:
- Visions - Visions
-Viking - Viking
Possible? Sure! Likely? I really doubt it ... I had double trouble dupe things before more than once and I don't belive in that much coincidence. The devs claim they haventT tampered with this - maybe - benefit of the doubt - but it could be a bug or a caching issue ... but something is not right!
New content? Soon!
Gauntlet? Soon! *YAAWWWWWN*
Uh....
Two souls. Visions and Viking, in that order. My play is becoming less and less. About to break the chain myself.
Since people are adding how garbage the rng is I dropped two souls and got two aces high eddies.
can i change my viking dupe by one of them? :)Quote:

Two dupes.
The staff should clarify if gauntlet will alow use dupes or not.
2 souls. both Aces High.
Really, two in a row seconds apart. At least the first one wasn't a dupe. That's positive.
I just completed my 3rd soul and have come to the conclusion that Immortal Souls hate me.
I need 5 of the 15 Eddies but got dupes from all 3 souls (Shaman and two Vikings).
Last year, I needed 7 of the 9 Eddies, but only got one new Eddie out of 6 souls (4 were dupe Shamans).
So 5 Shamans (all dupes) out of 9 Immortal Souls. His Fury is a pretty accurate metaphor here . . .
So sounds like Visions and Viking are in my future if I cash in my 2 now...
Edit:
I couldn't help myself! Visions and Aces High! I chuckled... laughable that it can be predicted from the forum...
Indeed!Quote:

For example the last 5 Star Eddie I got from a drop, any drop, BEFORE the immortal event was Clansman (from vortex legendary soul I think).... the first drop I got from the immortal souls was .... Clansman. I just wonder if it's merely me or anyone else who tends to see 2, 3, 4 of the same Eddie drop in quick succession. I am NOT meaning to imply some sort of collusion or anything. I'm mere curious. I think RNG gets "stuck" at times for lack of a better term. When a new Eddie is released.. I OFTEN get 3, 4, 5 of them in a row immediately after I get the first one. Then I may go some time before seeing it again.
My last drop was Hallowed on Thursday as part of the "awesome" Freedom Souls. My account must be the conspiracy theory buster...
Last 5 star Eddie i got before the event was Rainmaker and imagine what i got from the immortal soul :P I don't know what's more disappoiniting. The fact that i got another duplicate when i am still missing 8 Eddies from the list or the 141 frags from 200 battles...Quote:

I know that the last Immortal event was pretty rad. In the last one, I got 3 Immortal souls, only one of which was a dupe. Hopes were high going into this one and the awful fragment drop rate has definitely been a buzzkill.
At the same time, for really not much effort and not much Ironite (maybe 200?), I got a 5-star Eddie. Sure, it was a dupe (I had a 40% chance of a non-dupe), but I'm really not upset. It was as if I was playing the game as normal and a cheap 5-star Eddie soul fell out of the sky.
As some have surmised, a lot of the team is not in the office today (even though we've been working remotely to address server issues as they've come up over the last 48 hours), so my apologies for the general radio silence.
We absolutely respect the concerns and complaints you as players have. That said, while I know a lot of players are hoping for a response from the team about the tuning and communication for this event, I think it's important that we review this issue internally before jumping to any conclusions. Once I've had a chance to do so, I can give a more informative response to everyone about what we'll take forward from this event.
Keep in mind that, like any other event thread, it will be closed at the conclusion of the event, but I have no doubt that the discussion will continue on in another thread in the forum, so don't take the closing of this thread as an intent to not discuss the matter further.
I got 2 immortal souls, 1 was a King Edward I didn't have, the other was a Viking dupe.
