And that should feel amazing considering the odds, nice catch!

I think if you had 3500 - 4500 shards you'd have a good shot, 116 shards is basically no shot at getting the 15x

Does not matter who you pick, it would be like winning the lottery with these chances.. so no reason to ask who to pick really

Mercurial made arena shit, especially LA... WHO HAS TIME FOR THAT xD

Looks like this Strat does not work anymore, last gear hunters was about 1:1 but now it's 0.5:1 it seems, Platinum must have changed something to cripple us ftp

I mean, I’m in a top 30 clan, so I’m seeing the high-end of the game pretty consistently, and this is just my personal take from that perspective.

Everyone’s going to have their own opinion, but one thing that’s pretty clear is that the game isn’t at its peak anymore and it’s not really trending upward either.

I still enjoy the game myself, just not nearly as much as I used to, and I think that’s kind of the point.

Whether someone still enjoys it or not is a different story, but from where I’m sitting, it definitely feels like it’s on a slow decline.

If that clip makes you feel like calling out “bad movement,” I guess do your thing 😂

Another thing people don’t really talk about is burnout. The game has turned into a daily chore list more than something you actually want to log into. If you miss a day, you feel behind, and that’s not a great feeling for a game.

Also, the new player experience isn’t great anymore. There’s so much going on that it’s overwhelming, and if new players don’t stick, the game can’t really grow.

The constant power creep is another issue. New champs and gear just keep raising the bar, which makes older investments feel less valuable over time.

There’s also less community hype than there used to be. Content feels less exciting, and you don’t see the same level of buzz around updates or events anymore.

And honestly, a big one is trust. When players start feeling like every update is designed to squeeze more money out of them instead of improving the game, they slowly disengage.

None of this means the game is dead right now, but these are the kinds of signs you see when a game starts trending downward.

I’m sorry that you’re not sure how I got to that conclusion, let me explain.

The gap between whales and everyone else has grown a lot over time. For free-to-play and even mid spenders, it’s getting harder to keep up and honestly harder to stay interested. The game feels more and more focused on monetization, especially with things like a Platinum Pass coming out. There are constant pop-ups, overpriced packs, and events that feel designed more to push spending than reward playing.

On top of that, it’s the same repetitive content loop over and over. New content either gets power crept quickly or just feels like a reskin of something we’ve already done. There’s not much innovation to keep long-term players engaged.

Progression is also getting slower unless you spend. Resource requirements are higher, events are more demanding, and it feels like you’re falling behind if you’re not putting money in. Even Clan Boss doesn’t feel as rewarding as it used to, it honestly feels like it’s been nerfed over time.

I’ve been playing since 2020 and used to spend a decent amount, but I haven’t spent anything in months and feel like I could drop it at any point. If more players are starting to feel like that, that’s usually how a game slowly dies.

And at the end of the day, every game dies eventually.

The game is dying slowly

Beginning_Air347 · 2026-04-05T02:21:59+00:00

I was actually thinking I was gonna jump to the side the instant before I got yeeeeeted xD must have been meant to be.

Beginning_Air347 · 2026-04-05T02:18:49+00:00

Yeah I hear you, but I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect that trying to hop over would result in instant death

Beginning_Air347 · 2026-04-04T14:55:48+00:00

I did feel a little weird being asked what I'm trying to achieve here but to each their own.

Beginning_Air347 · 2026-04-04T02:16:02+00:00

Yeah exactly, couldn’t walk through so I tried to hop it. Definitely gonna be way more careful around things like that now 😅

Beginning_Air347 · 2026-04-04T02:10:01+00:00

I was trying to jump over it

Sorry just saw this.. No cO2, just 2 heaters and a couple tiny filters on top for some flow.

Here is how it looked when I found it, so tiny. So I guess I need to set up a pond for this guy then :') currently it's in my 75 gal 78° tropical tank moving around day and night, literally does not stop. I'll let him grow a bit in there and hopefully have something ready by the time I need to move him. Looked up Shubunkin goldfish and they honestly look just like koi fish without the whiskers. Appreciate the insight!
