Ive just been looking at the math..... if im seeing correctly there is a 34% chance for an ancient to be an epic during a 2x....... it almost seems impossible to only get 1 epic (dark athel) out of 34 shards???

You are not “seeing correctly”. It’s 16% chance of epic.

 Now, that’s some stats, that’s all. Sometimes ppl get 3 legs out of 10 ancients. It doesn’t mean the drop rate was 30%. It’s still 1%

So if its normally a %16 chance of getting an epic with every ancient shard and its a double times event like it is now...... doesnt that mean that there is now a %32 chance to get an epic with an ancient shard. And wouldnt that make the odds of only getting 1 in 34 ancient shards almost impossible?

Over the last three x2 events i pulled 107, 72 and 65 blue shards...I received a grand total of one Legendary.  Which was Shamrock.  Color me very disappointed.  I got a grand total of 2 epics that weren't dupes or total trash.

I'm a F2P player, so my opinion doesn't count, but the complete lack of balance in heroes, dungeons, dungeon drop rates, CB drops, Arena drops, or including any player requested quality of life changes in over 4 months and two patches...sigh, no wonder the play-store rating has steadily dropped down to 4.0.  When I started it was 4.7, and that was only 8 to 9 months ago.

Without some serious focus on improving the existing game, and in adding new enjoyable, engaging long-term content (not just new champions), this game will continue its downward spiral towards end of life.  Sure, some diehards will stay, but maintaining a clan in these conditions is almost impossible.

What's worse is no real executive public statement on the state of the game, Plarium's miss-steps including what they learned and how they're going to prevent these miss-steps in the future, etc., gives the player community very little hope.

If they would step forward, acknowledge the issues, seriously apologize, seriously extend real compensation for Draco-Gate, 1.13 instability, and turning the game into Raid Server Maintenance, followed very quickly by a real roadmap WITH DATES, that address the trash Legendary / Epic champion balancing, the most requested quality of life issues, and a path back to a stable game with real end-game activities, then this game would have a chance to retain existing players, and even attract new ones.

Or, which is what I suspect they'll do, they'll just keep spending on marketing to attract new players...lose 90% of those, milk as much cash from whales as they can, and rinse / repeat.

Game will die if things don't change in 2020.

I have the Yellow light instead of the blue light for the 2x ancient, does that mean it’s a 2x sacred? I am afraid to try based on the luck you had.

The shining of the Portal was changed in Release 1.13. From now on - When they are doubling chances for getting Champions from Shards (any kind) - the Portal shining will match the max rarity - yellow (Legendary).

34x blue shard and only got 2 epic. 1 of them is duplicated.
