I love Golden Spirit and genuinely want this game to succeed, but events like the current Kakyoin Wheel of Fate are getting really frustrating, and I don't understand how the developers expect players to accept this.

You need 500 points for ONE badge and 2,000 points for the full set, while the wheel has six 1-point rewards, two 2-point rewards, one 3-point reward and one 40-point reward, with the 40-point reward guaranteed every 10 spins.

Assuming all 10 outcomes are equally likely, a regular spin averages 5.3 points, so nine regular spins plus the guaranteed 40-point reward give you an average of about 88 points per 10 spins.

That means roughly 57 spins for one badge and 228 spins for the full set.

You can currently get only 10 spins with in-game currency and around 15 more from Challenge Mode, which doesn't even get you close to the first badge. Meanwhile, 50 spins cost 1,300 CZK (around €53), putting the estimated average cost at roughly €60 for one badge and €240 for the full set. That's an absurd amount for a single badge set in a mobile game.

And honestly, wouldn't simply adding a zero to every reward, making the guaranteed reward 400 points instead of 40, and adjusting the other rewards accordingly make this event considerably more reasonable?

I'm not asking for everything to be free. I understand that the developers need to make money, but there's a difference between monetization and making players feel like their time and money are barely worth anything. F2P players can't make meaningful progress, and even paying players face ridiculous costs.

I want to keep playing this game, but if every event continues in this direction, people will eventually stop investing their time and money, and some will simply quit. I really hope the developers reconsider these numbers before that happens.

Are other players just as frustrated with this? Because I think it's time we made it clear that this approach isn't working.

Please Be Respectful

It is okay to have negative opinions towards this game as well as opinions towards those posting these negative opinions. However, this should never lead to hostility or name-calling. Every message can AND SHOULD be written with respect to others on this platform. Any discourse should be directed at the game and not to those playing said game, and even this should be done with a level of respect. We are here to have fun playing and communicating with others. I hate having to make this post but It seems it needs to be done. Thank you.

Can't claim this.

I think I hoard a lot, and now I can't claim it.

I already do synthesis and dismantle. I have like 68/500 in inventory, and now I can't claim this in the mail.

My opinion on Kakyoin

My take on Kakyoin is pretty different from some of the opinions I’ve seen in the first few hours since his release.

I really like him, but I think some people expected him to be their team’s main DPS. Personally, I see him more as a sub-DPS who helps the whole team perform better.

His kit is pretty versatile: solid damage, debuffs, and crowd control. He also makes enemies take more damage from basic attacks, which is great for teams built around them.

I think judging him purely by his position on the damage chart misses a big part of what he brings. His own damage matters, but so does the extra damage he enables for the rest of your team.

How are you guys feeling about him so far?

Why does this skill need 5star

😭😭🙏 Im not getting iggy to 5 stars, itd s debuff. his extra skill fortress sucks and nerfs your allies... Wish they made it so you can see which star level you need for the ability to be upgradable. before actually spending gems on the pulls
