, probably a VERY good idea by the DEVS to transmute these into gold after the event instead of having them accumulate in a players inventory or stash -- .

We don't really need more.gold though how about, staying in the *spirit* of the game, transmuting them into actual Spirits? Brilliant Gemstones? Gems?
Post your suggestions on Discord

[Shintara]

I think this will be fun for a season or two, but it will become just more grinding after a while. Perhaps an annual reset as someone else already suggested. It would also be harder for those people that just do not have a lot of time to play regularly? Just a personal opinion, like everyone else.

WarriorSeven, thank you for clarifying this for those of us not on Discord.

John, thank you for commenting here. On the topic of seasonal rewards, and the appeal of the Season pass, I feel it was more appealing back at the start, when the top row rewarded exclusive (?) cosmetics. That's something that there are few alternatives to get.

Now, sometimes, the cosmetics set would not be appealing, but a top row that had, say, neat exclusive weapon skins (since those are of more general interest) + some cosmetic points (to pick up whatever else), that would be enticing. Do keep the Legendary Crate as well though.

Another thought on monetization, I have long felt it would be interesting to have a "get me through this ANB" store item, for when you don't have play time but are still engaged.... something that would either:
a) reduce your event timer to 0 and get you all the rewards up to T110
b) reduce your timer by 1hr and set your XP to level 70 (maybe +50,000 gold)

For those who purchase the season pass, you need time to fill the bank with 10,000 gems

Great stuff. Also I think 40 days is too long.

lmcelhiney ... 77? Go man!

You're Legendary!

Probably socketed with many brilliant gemstones, fully CT'd with tranches of Vitality. Likely also Celestial Orbed to the max, as well! Our hero!

What are “seasonal Spiritstones”? I’m new to game but I’m assuming they are not the same thing as the red crystal currency or the other crystals used in crafting and socketed into gear.

Shintara did some translated reporting on this on Discord from the recent Live Stream between John (CEO) and Josh (Developer). Reposting her Discord synopsis here:

UPCOMING CONTENT!
For those of you who want to check out what new feature was being discussed in the Live Stream.

Spirit Stones:
I've transcribed (parts of) Josh and John's, very enthusiastic, explanation in the Live Stream on Twitch on the 26th of October, 2023. Paraphrasing where suitable.

Their wish and hope is that it will be ready to be released in the upcoming Season.

Josh:
"Special gems[tones] found during Seasons. They have the spirits of heroes and magical creatures trapped inside them, and these spirits are gonna give you really cool bonus stats and maybe even new powers down the road.

But these spirits will want to be free, so at the end of the Season these Spirit Stones will essentially dissipate into the Aether, transmuting the gem into gold.....
You'll be able to find Spirit Stones much like you would find normal gemstones. You'll be able to fuse them...[2 tiers for now.]"

John:
"All about being able to change the relative effectiveness of different abilities, within the Season. We wanted to come up with a more story-based way of doing it, of aggression based.
So you can [adapt and fuse the stones together and boost your powers in a Seasonally themed manner]."

So, it appears a new, special (but temporary) type of gemstone will drop during the upcoming Season and going forward. We'll all have a chance to play around with these items to see exactly what kind of "bonus stats" and effects are imbued with them. For now, it still remains somewhat of a mystery how these gemstones interact with the champion and/or gear, but on the surface, it is intriguing.

It's also, probably a VERY good idea by the DEVS to transmute these into gold after the event instead of having them accumulate in a players inventory or stash -- otherwise I could see this unique item as another jumping off platform for some to b**ch -- about ala medals.

We don't yet know what they are. This thread is the first time I've seen them mentioned on the forum. I guess we'll find out when the next season begins!

[LodWig]

They don’t dominate because they have medals, they have medals because they dominate

[Tin Man]

Hmm, you know how us guys are. We like to fix things.

Share your hero's name, class and currently ranking? Others can take a look and see if there is anything obvious to help you.
