Frustration

[Brontos]

Hey.

I know all veterans of this game want us, newbs, to have a hard time gathering all the upped cards. I know that. It's normal.
I know rares should stay rares. It's fine for me too.

But why the hell a special spin can fail? In two days I saw 3 special spins (gold & platinium) giving me nothing, and that, is pure frustration. I lost a few of them in bronze and silver, but I don't care as much as I care in gold platinium. I want upped rares. I deserved it. I'm spending my time farming this just for it.
You are proud of yourself, proud of your deck, you played well against good decks, you have a good feeling... Then, you spin and you got NOTHING. Nothing. Your upped rare? Not now. Eat that, you noob.   

Can't it be done to give a rare at 100% at least in platinium?

Thanks for reading. It feels good to talk about it.  8)

Why should a special spin ensure a rare?

[Brontos]

Because it's special. It's not a normal spin.

It's gold/platinium league. You don't face decks with 1hp there.
You're facing SoSa-poisons, firestall, mono-aether, rush green, rainbows, ghostmare, pestals, and exotics weirds combos decks. It's hell on Earth for a normal-noob deck.

If you can beat them 3 or 4 times in a row, you deserve a reward. That's the core principle of the Arena.

There is nothing wrong with losing a couple of spins. Okay, you play in platinum and "deserve" your rare spins. Other people aren't complaining about this small injustice because they dont care.  Just keep farming platinum and you'll win some upped rares.

so what you're trying to say is that you want a rare every time you win arena, just like when you finish the 500 score quest?
no, with a bit of tactic you'll get a rare card like 1/3 times at least and it's not that hard.

And mono aether isnt hard. O.o

Thanks for your support.
I knew it's always popular to say "it's too hard" in a video game forum.  8)

But its still a spin, so the chance has to be there, otherwise its just giving you a random rare, which would suck.
And yes, there are plenty of decks in platinum with only one hp.

I've also had this frustration. I got to the special spin quite a few times last night, and ended up not getting a single upped rare 
But they really can't make the special spin any easier (currently seems to have five types of random rares in the 12 possible slots), and it often depends on luck anyways..

Just adding my bit because I've felt similar frustrations as a newbie, but this topic feels like it's about to be finished pretty soon..

[TribalTrouble]

I have never not gotten a rare from arena special spin o.O maybe you guys are doing something wrong lol.

[Brontos]

No I'm not. I'm not taking any chances after I discovered it can fail. I've spent spins in bronze experimenting things to see how it works. Sometimes, chances to get something are just too low. Sometimes you get something one the last clic available.

I'm fine. I'm a big boy. I can keep farming during days. The thread was not really a suggestion one and it can be closed, it was just a steam evacuation one.

Well this is just a lie.
Veterans are playing hundreds of games and recording stats on decks they don't even like playing. They are also making guides so even the most incompetent newb possible can breeze through the AI.

I'm not sure why it even matters to change the special spin. You would have more rares, but so would everyone else. Nothing changes.
