Lol - I've come to peace with RNG. If you recently failed an Awakening you have my sympathy.

Valkyrie Crusade is essentially one giant pretty slot machine. Since I've put so many hours into the game, I'm use to dissapointment in anything related to chance.

Awakening is a struggle and a hassle; but the potential for reward is really great (for UR cards). To me it's kinda like a lottery ticket where the jackpot is always 10 million dollars. You're more than likely not going to win; but when you do it's awesome.

If you really want to hear a sad story - I used 20 summon tickets in a row (accumulation after 3 months of grinding and multiple events) and only got 1 SR pull with 19 R. That hurt me more than any failed awakening attempt since it took so long and so much effort on my part and my guild to get those tickets. Awakening by comparison is less frustrating considering you can actually grind for it every day and the base chance for GUR is always 20%. With ticket summons (which you have to really work hard to get through ranking events or AUB wins) you don't even have a high chance of a reward. It's a lot of effort for very (if none at all) gain.

I think new players really feel the sting of Awakening the most and I feel for them. For me it's a huge bonus round at this point; since I have pretty much the decks I need. Everything that I happen to awaken from this point out is icing on the cake really; so no stress on my shoulders.

In any case, how's the new team holding up?
