I know skins are a premium thing, but i feel they cost WAY too much in terms of cards that need to be used. just for tier one skins we need 8 copies of four different cards. this ends up taking a LONG time because card drops are random and you will likely get a card that is not for the skin you are trying to get. from what ive seen so far you get a card about every 4 games, and because for one TIER ONE skin you need 32 cards to unlock it, this can take upwards of 150 games! not including cards that arnet for the skin you want. I think the amount of games they want you to play to get a skin is absurd and should be changed. I cant even imagine how hard tier 2 and 3 characters will be to get if this doesnt change.

I agree. I think you should need 5 cards of each type to weave into a skin instead of 8. The devs said that you can buy cards with glory in future updates, so them it will probably be easier to get skins. I also think 900 ice is way too much for only one tier of one skin. I think it should be 600, maybe 400. Then a lot more people will consider buying ice.

32 cards for a tier one skin? I see 3... Also I have found you are more likely to get cards for the played character, it's closer to a 66% chance of a card for your character. The rares are harder, I have 9 commons and 1 rare. But my rare is for a tier 2 glaive (which I got while playing glaive)

I also think it's ridiculous that you need 8 of each card for one skin. Considering you get a card once every, what, 5 games? 32 cards x 5 games is 160 games, assuming you get all of the correct cards every time. More like 200+ games to get one skin.

Also, nobody wants to spend about $7 for a skin that does nothing really besides look different.I'd value that maybe at $1.

I disagree. I've got about 32 cards right now (27 common, 5 rare). I do play a lot, but that's still quite a few since they've only been out for a week or so. Also, a lot of us have tons of glory, which you'll be able to use for cards later. But for now getting people to chip in a little bit isn't so bad. I've had more fun with this game than most any other iOS game, paid or otherwise, so plunking down for a skin was the least I cold do. Besides, skins are purely aesthetic, so you still get to play for free with no one having an advantage because they spent money. THAT is awesome.

Remember, you can cdestroy cards to create new ones. If you are lucky and pull a legendary you can get 4 blues. Never buy the bronze - they are a waste of points. Save up for the blues and destroy purples and legendaries for points. You have to grind through pack though, so I recommend saving up a bit of glory so that you can buy several in a row so you can get past all of the garbage bronze cards.
