The Angel and The Gambler (Book of Souls) - Debut of 2 NEW EDDIES

[Muzzleloader]

Just redeeming 500 rare souls doesnt mean you will get both Eddie's, you may get a dupe. You will be able to purchase frags for a chance of either Eddie or purchase a specific one once this event is over.

[Mizrael]

Do I miss something on this event? 2 event souls would mean you have to open 500 of any kind of rare souls?! Or are there other ways to gain event souls?

No you are not missing anything. that’s exactly how it works.
Well...make it 440 if you finish all the challenges (those give you 300 fragments=60 souls less).

For the burns, you might try daedalus, as he puts random burn effects every round.

Ooh, just got him too!

[Yup]

PLUS: the first soul gets cheaper with every rare soul you’ve opened

Uhm.. How's that? You don't get any "credit' for frags.

Yes with every soul you open you need to open one less for the frags.. that's not "cheaper" though. That's you converting souls so, drop 1 and you no longer need 250 Rare Souls, you need 249. The cost doesn't change.

Your logic here seems REALLY off. If you owe $20,000 on a new car and make a payment to the finance company, the car does NOT get any "cheaper". you simply currently owe less due to payments you've made.

That’s funny. I had the “gets cheaper” in “” first, but then i deleted those thinking that everyone will realize that it doesn’t really get cheaper, you just use a different currency to acquire it...

So let’s use a real life example for Yup:
You buy a new car for 20 000 and you trade in your old car, for which the dealer takes a 1000 of the price. No you didn’t get it cheaper, but you only needed 19 000 in cash (i would never buy a car on credit btw.) and you got rid of an old car which you don’t need anymore. does that make more sense?
My argument was more about the fact that they don’t cost 4500 FC each.

[Yup]

So. what "old car" am I trading in for these new characters?

Sorry equally horrible example. There's nothing you "trade in" to get these characters. You have to collect items (souls) or use a stockpile you may have and build from zero.

Your latest example WOULD work if I could sacrifice characters to get fragments for the new characters (i.e. trade what I HAVE for what a want)..... but that's not how this event works.

OK man! Hands down. you got me. i’m totally telling porky pies here.

Sorry to anyone who had to read my previous posts. Please ignore whatever i’ve written! Only listen to what Yup says. Have a nice day.

[Yup]

Oh now don't be like that Can't adults have a discussion when there's a disagreement with getting all "huffy" and belligerent?

I just don't think making excuses for or sugar-coating how horrible the devs treat users with some events is a good thing.

What makes these Eddies worth $250?? or $250 worth of resources? Never mind that you may be able to collect $50 worth of resources free of charge this month.. and in 6 months collect $250 in resources free. Why are the characters so expensive??? Simple.. people make excuses for it and some will actually spend that to get them, then never use the character a month later.

lol guys, relax! I am sure most people got the point, independent if the examples or explanations were helpful or not

I see it like that:
1) If you can finish all missions, you don't need to open the "full" 250 rare souls to get one of the new Eds now
2) If you don't have 250 (- mission frags souls equivalents) rare souls, you can earn some more during the upcoming arena event (plus SQ and LoL grinding if you want)
3) If you still don't have enough rare souls, you can get the remaining frags by FC (125 frags per 250 FC) - you then have to wait a bit until the frags appear in the shop

Conclusion: it is no real "saving" but an exchange/replacement with other resources (and time) to get the reward

4) If you want the second new Ed, too, you can either
4a) gamble by using another 250 rare souls and/or frags for FC with a 50:50 chance for a dupe --> this can become very expensive in the end!
4b) be sure and buy the other Ed for a fixed price of 4500 FC (which is a very high price)

I love this forum. It’s the greatest one I’ve ever joined and I never stayed that long and that’s because of all of you guys and girls! But what you both wrote Yup and Mizrael was really Kindergarden. Ofc sometimes emotions, especially when it’s about this very often and more and more frustrating game, are present, but please discuss like smart grown-ups we all are and don’t be condescending. We are all brothers and sisters and are here because of the greatest band of the world!

Congrats Mizrael on getting both Eddies! That’s just awesome! And I got your point in getting those Eddies „cheaper“
