I dumped over 11 000 crystals into the Dolphin pond this week in an attempt to get Elemix, even spread it out over the days because of the rumor about higher chance on first attempt each day. Well, guess what, didn't get him. So holy fuck you very much devs, never knew it could feel so shitty to be a whale in a mobile game. This thread serves no real purpose other than getting this off my chest. I honestly even considered just uninstalling the game, but holy fuck, I dumped over 350 dollars into it, and sunk cost fallacy is real.

I got pretty lucky with Pegasus. Got hero 1st try. Then I also heard rumor to buy a few each day, which I did, manly for the Dracula souls at the time, but I did get Pegasus to 4 stars within a week, took a total of around 9k xtals.
Then Gladius came out, 4 tries I got him. However, 8k crystals over the next few days, nothing at all, so I said fk it and just left him at 3 stars.
There's really no method getting these dolphins. It might also be affected by other players on your server spamming on the same day. Took me 8400 crystals to get Elemix, and I found out that a guild mate was spamming at the same time and he got 5 stars Elemix during that period ( that's 10 frigging Elemix while I got only 1...)
Judging from the past, you shouldn't go for dolphin hero on 1st week of release cause a lot of people would be buying. One of my guild mate quit during the 1st week of Pegasus released, cause he spent 27k xtals and did not get the hero, he was so pissed off, complained to Camex, nothing was done.

holy holy holy fuck, you are some cuck....who spends 350 dollars ( !!!) on a stupid game and then complains he got cheated? Lmao, this is hilarious The game is fun, and we need people like him to keep the game going. The thread was for him to voice his frustration, also helps the community to know what to expect from dolphin pond. Nothing is hilarious except you who waste time to insult people on forum of a game you think stupid...

People like to laugh at the whales, but they are not aware how crusial they are to game developers to keep the games running.

Hi, I was reading this randomly andi HAVE to comment... People, please, don't think you're helping devs and you're special or crucial cause you feed them using outrageous VIP scaling. Everyone paying 2$ would be more than enough for the game to be profitable. You're just filling their pockets and throwing more and more money as they overflow. I don't wanna insult you, you do whatever you want with your money, if you work everyday to sustain a cellphone game, that's your problem. BUt... Please, don't simply deny the fact that the very existence of those 15 VIP levels - for what, 2500$? - is pure toxicity, forcing the players to face the frustration of never being able to play to the fullest. 350$? Man, this game isn't bad, but it's so much worse than FF tactics or Disgaea. At this price you could buy the portable console and the game brand new, and you'd still have money left. It's ok to invest in game you like, but if you ever reach the point of "I wanna quit but I can't cause I invested too much money", you're becoming an addict. To me you're like those guys in casinos that simply won't quit until they win, because they've just spent so much on it.
In the end, some guy with a good strategy will beat your broken heroes, cause the AI is predictable and attackers can adapt placement.
Honestly, I'm telling you, do whatever you want, I don't care, but don't brainwash yourself thinking you're crucial to devs, and without you it wouldn't run. Look around you, be realistic, and accept you just crossed some limits at some point. Some people are eating fancy food and dipping in luxury using your money. If even 10% of the money they make was invested in the game, they would have enough to hire a whole team and make a triple A flagship.
Instead, they keep you entertained with premium content, and content that will ultimately lead the game towards P2WIN, in a less and less competitive way, months after months.
Just look at supercell, they made millions with clash of clans, and all they did with it was clash royale. They have mastered the art of frustrating players and make them pay willingly. Let them satisfy themselves and realize one morning how sad all of this is.
THis is all, please don't think you're helping here, you're just being used. If anything, don't be stupidly blind about it. This game is so far from the best game any of you has ever played. Is it worth 350$? I'm not gonna say "they're just pixels", i'm a gamer, I love games. This is why I took the time to write all this. Go back to The Game, get a 3DS, it's loaded with incredible games, you can play online too. If you saw that Heroes tactics in a store for 350€ "super bundle, extra gems to make you stronger than others, and exclusive hero Pegasus!", wouldn't you be thinking "wait, why does it cost 350$? Had the world gone mad?"
I know what it's like to be tempted by gold sellers or such, but please, it's not even pay to win anymore, it's not pay to play either, it's pay to think you win.
Or w/e man, think you're crucial to the game industry and feed Camex, that couldn't care less whether you loot your premium hero after 30K crystals or not, and give you a title for spending more on this game than on your friends, family, lover, etc.
No offense, just open your eyes, you're addicted.

Dude chill.
Nobody said anything about payers being crucial to devs, you made that up all by yourself. I said we (players) need someone to spend so the majority don't have to, otherwise they would just shut a non-profit game down.
The amount anyone spent is non of our business, leave it, why insult the guy ?

Whatever, This Game Is Only For The Premium People Who Have Much Time, Much Money, And Game Addicted.
