It’s been a while since anything was posted here so I’ll expand a bit on my 13th suggestion, chest prices and discounts:
Let’s be honest…no one is buying rare chests. They have an 85% chance of an uncommon card (blue) which isn’t worth the 80 gem price. The usual rewards are all uncommon blue cards: x3 spells which is worth 30-40 gems at most. 20 black pearls and 500/750 feathers is worth 10-20 gems at most. 1x Mighty Eagle is worth maybe 20 gems at most.
Also, rare chests can be earned reliably by just playing daily:
– x2 chests/day from watching an ad video (through a pop-up on the main menu).
– x2 chests if I’m able to beat both the DC and KPP.
– x1 chest from winning the 3rd round in the Arena; I only do the first 4 rounds, break my streak on the 5th and start over. Do that 2-3 times a day (depending on how much I feel like playing) and that’s several chests easily.
– Occasional chests that appear in early rooms in DCs, KPPs and normal levels. Honestly these don’t show up very often so aren’t really a reliable source.a
Legendary chests I would also bet than no one is buying. It costs just under 1000 gems for one and while the rewards are good, they’re not that good and definitely not worth the price. They’re super rare to earn from playing as they only only show up as final rewards for a few things:
– Arena super streaks (good luck completing the entire thing without using 4-5 spells and possibly gems each round).
– Hat adventures (good luck beating the entire thing with newly introduced Exotic hat sets that you can only get from the ToF).
– Clan vs Clan victories (easiest to win if your clan is good, and even then these events aren’t that frequent).
So my suggestion is simple: lower the prices of both rare and legendary chests. Rare chests could easily be lowered to 60 gems though think 50 gems would be a lot more reasonable; again given the 85% uncommon reward chance you’re very likely going to get mediocre blue cards which aren’t worth 80 gems.
Legendary chests could easily have it’s price lowered to 500 gems, though 400 would work too as would 300. It should be the most expensive chest given it’s rewards, but it doesn’t need to be as ludicrously expensive as 900 gems. I would then actually consider buying them on rare occasions as opposed to never and I think others would too.
Then to make things even better, add a new event similar to the Feather Frenzy and Black Pearl Party:
“Chest Madness! During this event, rare and legendary chest prices are reduced!”
The discount could be anywhere from 20% to 25% to 33% to 50%. The event would makes chests cost less gems for a limited time, and the event duration would be as long as a Feather Frenzy or Black Pearl Party.
