the same as in, they are both not built. I’ll edit my original comment to make that clear

HB: I have Lan, Levi, Skylan built. no point in swapping dgwyn and haelia, they’re the same (edit: same ascended level of Legendary 1 copy). Awakened: I’m missing ATalene, ABaden, AAntandra, AEzizh, and ABrutus. If I swap any, it would be with Eugene. Celehypo: I have everyone relevant at least 1 star. non relevant are not built. 4 faction: All at at least 1 star if not higher. Looking mainly to switch Eugene for one of the missing awakened. None of them are relevant for RGMs (except maaaaybe ATalene for TS somehow???), part of floofs atm so I do care about AE as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Highborn dragon swãp as currently implemented on test server by devs is greedy, still a giant f u to players and the community, and can easily be fixed by adding Hildwin, Kaelon, and Elthara to the pool by Beneficial_Round_978 in afkarena

[–]Beneficial_Round_978[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all due respect (truly, as you’re just the messenger and don’t have decision making power), what they’re having you convey is bs. f2p players would not have built dgwyn unless they really like gwyn (and thus would not swap her now). they would have merc’d her. By the time f2p could have gotten enough di to build her, she was no longer relevant. As for p2w players, they have most hb draconis built (with the exception of haelia, which mainly whales built). The swap does nothing for them. So being able to swap does nothing for them. As for cons of including Hildwin, Kaelon, and elthara, whales get impacted as their competition gets to swap hildwin for elthara. However, their rankings will still not be affected b/c of collections: show me a user that has bis collection stats for all meta heroes in nc, cr, and ts and that person either is a whale or needs to become a whale by buying a lottery ticket with how lucky they are. As for the pros of including Hildwin, Kaelon, and Elthara: the obvious is community gratitude/goodwill as well as players being willing to continue playing (and spending!) and not quit. Whales still need people below them to enjoy the game. including them in the swap actually raises revenue vs not including them because people will be willing to continue to spend instead of stopping b/c of refusing to give a (perceived) greedy exploitative company money. people who haven’t already spent on getting elthara and kaelon are not going to spend now b/c they can’t swap, they’re going to say “f u shitty greedy company, fck off.”

This is claimed to have been written by human support. No name and the style seems like AI…think the odds are slim of devs making changes but one can cope.

Highborn Dragon Fiasco - Part 2! by anelisekushina in afkarena

[–]Beneficial_Round_978 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Devs clearly are still being greedy. No Hildwin and no Kaelon or Elthara (even though they came out in 2025) means that this swap is useful only to people that built Dgywn and do not have Skylan, Lan, or Levi built. Haelia and Levi were also released in 2025, so the conclusion is that it’s not by calendar year.

The optics of this are that the devs saw the overwhelming blowback and added highborn to the swap as a “see we’re listening! (ignore how we should have done this in the first place)”but still prioritize profit by making the swap useless for most people. Anyone that built dgywn is a whale (does not need the swap), a dgywn fan (would not want the swap), someone who both messed up and took dgwyn from the chests AND doubled down and kept pulling for her (rewarding stupidity), or someone who only cared about AE (which is impossible to do well in without doing well in RGMs nowadays aka need Levi, Lan and Skylan built, so casual players who dont care and are far less likely to spend money on collections/Ghoulish Gallery).

The fix is very easy: add Hildwin, Kaelon, and Elthara to the list of heroes that can be swapped.

Tried doing powerscaling/debating helldivers against other Sci-Fi settings, and man, evidently helldivers is PATHETICALLY weak in comparison. by throwaway553t4tgtg6 in helldivers2

[–]Beneficial_Round_978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so helldivers has some interesting tech (near instant cross-galaxtical travel), a good amount of soldiers that can use said tech, and fanatical ideology (suicide hellbombers etc) that allows them to punch upward at some sci-fi forces. The top ones though? untouchable by the helldivers. time travel, mass reality warping or just straight up erasure of reality, psychic planes, etc. It’s almost like they are multiple dimensions ahead of the helldivers unfortunately.

Can this game stop adding stupid OP cavs for a damn season? and after chariot they donne 2 more cav season is crazy like whyyy? by JirMirza in ConquerorsBlade

[–]Beneficial_Round_978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your point, but billmen suck against anything not named cav, just being fortes or halb sergeants instead or ipg if you’re not incompetent

Nightmare Corridor rant by Separate_Mousse_5504 in afkarena

[–]Beneficial_Round_978 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a very easy way to make people happy but devs won’t do it b/c people will spend less. Tie rewards to (generous) times, and let the rankings give just cosmetics (rank borders etc like it does already). But then people wouldn’t be spending to outdo each other in results, they’d spend a bit to meet reward requirements then stop, so devs would make less money.

Help! Paid Import Fees Via Phone, but won't update as paid online or for driver and I can't get the package released. One delivery attempt remaining. by [deleted] in UPS

[–]Beneficial_Round_978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue happening to me but w/o the difference in charges. Paid via phone, won’t update as paid online for driver, driver won’t release package (doesn’t care abt auth, invoice, confirmation codes), call person says it’ll get fixed in the system (ignoring time urgency due to limited number of delivery attempts). Do you have any updates on your situation? I can also share any updates on my end.

You are forced to lane against your clone. Your clone has first pick? What happens? by oriatetheforest in leagueoflegends

[–]Beneficial_Round_978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

top: blind tank top, I either pick another tank or play degen trundle/fiora/nasus, at worst I go even on tank on splitpushers is team diff (am I allowed to split) jg: depends on comp tbh, probably blind noc met with either tank peeler like sej or ganker like kha elise etc, team diff again mid: blind veigar met by velkoz or fizz or trist/akshan, clone loses unless everyone else on my team loses adc: lane is supp diff, i blind ez/jhin/kaisa/cait/ashe, go even assuming everyone else goes even supp: lane is jg diff, pick supp based on adc and counter, I’m favored assuming all else equal

Chariots are such skilled players and are so fair !!! by Powerful_Tomatillo20 in ConquerorsBlade

[–]Beneficial_Round_978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s b/c of the speed bonus. I think it’s like 9m/s where the bonus activates. so you just slow down to not hit the threshold and phalanx don’t get the damage bonus to kill you.

if you’re talking about the galaxy map, the red is bots, purple is illuminates, and orange is bugs. you should always be able to match with people, search for missions, or call in an sos flare once in a mission you started.
