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

[druid138]

. . . the only answer is to stockpile.

Yes, yes, and yes.

[Yup]

shame on you, guys. this is a new low

Absolutely Agree.


This is BY FAR the most expensive event every run.

4,500 Frontier Coins.

I highly doubt they are worth that price tag.

This seems to be a clear "lets see how much they are willing to shell out" event.

So, anyone have the quick list to complete the missions?

FotD Eddie
Crimson Pharaoh Dog
Purple Anubis
Yellow Anubis
Shock Talismans

That'll get you through a lot of it. There's also the Iron Eddie + Purple Starfish trick to get through the Stun objective.

See I look at it differently, at least with this event, you would have looked to burn the rare souls in a sacfest anyway, so the cost here is effectively nil.

The main gripe I have is that rare souls are 24k to dump in the first place. Should only be 7-8k based on the relative drop rates compared to legendaries and mythicals

[Yup]

Furious Burns: NotB Ed (does the achievement QUICK with his fury) / Doomsday Ed
Acc Down: Crimson dog / Blue Bat
Stun: Visions Ed / Viking Ed / Green Shinobi / KP
Shock: Blue Shinobi / Talismans / (Storm Ed is supposed to but I couldn't get it to register any on autoplay)
Blind: Talismans work well for this especially if paired with Strike (counter) / Navigator Ed
Seal: A Corrupt Rescuer / Prisoner / Dessert Marauder / Mystic Ed


I'm still searching for something dealing True Burns.....

Fair enough. But when you factor what the the frags would cost, barring the $20 per 100 deal ($250 real dollars!!), that's over 9000 irionite to get enough rare souls to get the frags for 1 soul (Still $250 Real Dollars!) ...Then 4500 Frontier coins for EACH soul where there's no fury.. just a passive. -- At those prices, there should be BOTH a fury AND a passive. I an exceptionally skeptical that these 2 Eds are worth even HALF the cost.

I played the Angel Ed (via a trooper of mine who already has him) he was NOT impressive in ANY way. Like all the "no fury" Eds (Except Alex) he was weak and easily killed by Night City characters. From what I saw.. Angle Ed is on par with Gangster Ed, Shadow Wicker Ed, Emperor, and Rameses Ed -- Sure MAYBE useful in a specific configuration, but otherwise, just a character slot to dump resources into.

It, to me, is CLEARLY a price hike to see who'll bite. That's $500 to get 2 new characters. If that's not a price hike, I don't know what is. Sure they HAVE to make the characters available in some other way so they can state that you don't HaVE to spend money... but they absolutely WANT you to spend that $500. So, they make natural acquisition impossible or a 6-month or longer goal to keep you vested in the gamification as long as possible.... They are playing the users.. that's their game.

----------------

Here's a suggestion....


Rather than those stupid Level 80 NPC troopers... Swap them for NEW CHARACTERS when they are released so players can run them as a trooper and then make a more accurate judgement as to whether or not the character may be worth the trouble of acquisition.

Skipping this event and collecting souls for the next sacrifice event. Motivation for this game is going down to zero...

The Beast basic Skill deals physical, magical and true burns to all enemies.
