Introducing “The Vault”

The Vault is a unique object found in the Crates tab of the store that is only available for a limited time. Each time you open a crate, cards will be added to the vault. All crates you open will fil...

This is a MASSIVE improvement to crates if you aren't rushing them. So take the 3 hours and let them come naturally and take your diamonds to the cloning vats to get the exact unit you want. Best of both worlds. Or do bounty refreshes for gold (rare) crates.

The only thing this update doesn't have is more ways to get diamonds, but now there is quite a few great ways to spend em!

Thus vault is a terrible thing. I've been playing this game since November and I have only once in 5 months had enough diamonds to open this damn thing and that was the last diamond blitz tourny. But if everyone else is just paying for the highest level units for their leagues it becomes nearly impossible to ever get the "Grande prize" now that tournaments are 500 diamonds to re enter I never get to re enter and do better. Also to penalize regular users by making the regular cloning chamber less effective than the purchased ones is *. You're trying to corner normal users and force them to pay for a free to play game in order to stay competitive. Yet with all these new ways to spend diamonds the only way to receive them is to hope you don't get steamrolled in tournaments and wait for your blue crate to get a measly 4-7 diamonds. So maybe in another 4 months I can open the vault .... oh wait or maybe re enter a tournament ... or just delete this game because by that point everything will cost more. Next thing you know there will be units that are godlike that you pay to unlock that make the game unfair.....

    Well I guess you are right, I stop this game today actually. Bye and may the guy behind this pay-to-play-everyday system be fired...

      So far, all the responses in this thread have shown how greedy we as players are, and how bad we are at math. Seriously guys, this change has only made free to play better, and made it easier to spend diamonds for those who paid. It's best of both worlds. rushing 25 crates (600 dia) got halway to an epic crate if you were unlucky, or got you that epic crate if you were. That's 11 epic cards. OR, you max out a vault, open it for 600 diamonds, and get 30 epic cards. Such poor value, eh?

      Cloning was meh before the change, now it's actually a feasible way to get that unit you like up to par and decently quick instead of having to rely on card luck. But Redwood is screwing us, hm?

      Crate order has twice as many epics now, so you should run into one every 25 crates instead of every 50. This will help our epics keep up instead of lagging behind. But all they are thinking about is greed, hm?

      Seriously guys, sit down and do some damn math before you go off spewing your vitriol. You should all be ashamed.

        Like stated before. Us free to play players will never be able to open such a vault because there is no way to gather 600 diamonds while this is available unless they start doing more diamond blitz championships and have massive payouts in diamonds at lower win rates. Or make the paying members have their own severs so they play against the other people who pay

    I completely agree. It's hard enough to fill the vault up, but to force one to pay 600 diamonds just to open it is daylight robbery. This is comparable to a parent giving a child a 🍭 lollipop and sewing the child's mouth shut while holding the lollipop in his/her hand.
