Retiring.

Jakoda, you're at 20mil power. No offense, but you're not there yet. It is used by the top coiners because when everything is either maxed out or close to maxed out, they want to find something to gain an edge. Unfortunately, it's unlikely they will change the star system. It targets the big spenders and takes advantage of how we feel when we lose something we previously gained (ie. you go to a casino and you play, say poker, and was up $200, then you lose $100 or $200 or whatever amount, you naturally feel you want to win it back.)

No offense taken, but why focus on the bad? You have totally missed the point I was making. As far as being 20million power, I would love to have that extra million power, please advise me how I can see/grab onto that extra invisible power. The point was I made the power with limited cards and stars. Believe me I understand the concept being deployed in the game, to manipulate the vulnerable into spending. I was simply putting a different option out there. You failed to copy the entire post that did give suggestions for those running up against stars and cards. Hope the rest of your day is filled with great victories as you play the game.

You will feel the need for cards and stars at around the 60M mark.
Currently sitting at a bit over 40M, and nearly all the heroes I actually use are at 6-stars. Have a few 8 and 9 star heroes and a 10-star Rhize as well, but unfortunately those are heroes that do not make it into my CWF lineup, lol. Guess thats just the way the game is... only let me gain stars on heroes I don't need.

Rocco hit the nail on the head, once you have L10-L12 of all the runes you will need, weapons at L90+, and talents approaching your character level, there is not much more you can do in terms of strengthening your heroes apart from stars and sanctifies. It is best to work a little at a time on stars and cards as you build up to that point, but not let it be a major source of frustration or worry. However, at a certain point, stars and cards will be the main focus of your game. Cards is actually not that bad (besides leader cards), since once your talents are maxed and your at that point in the game, you will a huge credit income with not much to spend them on. The sheer amount of cards you will be getting per week will offset all the fails, I am already getting 5-6 cards per week on average despite putting about 50-60M into talents every week. And I only do Lady 2-3 times per week. Stars are a little difficult though, since the amount of stars you gain (without spending a lot of gems) as you power up remains constant for the most part, whereas the amount of cards you gain as you power up increases linearly. The marginal cost of increasing your star income beyond your base weekly star income is incredibly high, 5-gems each.

Oh and with new heroes coming out soon, might be best to save your stars and spirits.

Thank you Yelsa, well said.

Thank you Yelsha, i know how boring it is once you get to a point and you wanna focus on some thing that hasn't been given enough importance and it was Stars in my case. i have had the worst of the luck ( i hate games which rely on luck) lately. It has gotten to a point where you don't have any more fun but disappointment. i am sure the game is only focusing at making more and more money but after all its not giving it back in terms of development on the game. Come on devs step up or say you wont change it i will find an alternate.

I don't know how many of you played evony and if you did have a 15 star set there but let me tell you it was as hard as its here if not harder. The system is suppose to be like that and i don't think it should be changed either as you don't want everyone to reach max stars.

Joker lets not mix and match evony here, If you are referring to evony Age 2 , i have never played it nor will. I did play Age 1 for almost 4 years , had enough fun and finally i moved on here. I do like this game, there is a lot of fun in it but it gets annoying every now and then when there is not much to progress. Yes not every one can spend huge bucks to grow every day , at the same time not every spender is lucky or wise enough every time when we waste our gems on some thing. Rather than saying 10% success rate , say spend 30 medals and get one star if that makes sense. if its 50% you got to spend 15 medals . i am sure not every one will power to max stars even if they do its their money and their effort. Whats the fun if one can't reach to max level and work on other stuff.

i mentioned evony as the devs are the same or atleast thats what they told us in mail of age 2, anyway stars was the hardest thing there and very annoying and a lot had quit cause of it and its the same here. The element of luck is there is its not that the biggest coiners will have the best stars though they will still have a better chance cause they will have more tries but even someone who has coined less can get there with luck.
