Summoning Event

I dont believe there is someone can summon 4 decent AA in just one day
unless he is very very rich (and maybe dump) to waste money buying soul point
some shjt hack tool out there, i think

I was amazed with the results! There are people doing so many dark summons in one day??

yeah, do those epic summons ever expire? I've never been high enough in rankings to know, but I'm assuming they don't...

I take it people who are at the top of the boards are able to amass them and sit on them, in order to summon 4 AAs for this event, right? Does anyone think A-team also "tweaked" the AA summon ratio for this? At the current ratio, seems like you'd have to amass quite a few dark summons to get 3-4 AAs in your formation...

Today I did 2 or 3 ally point summons, and although I didn't get anything but garbage, apparently I had never had 2 of the cards (one B and a different C+). Just seemed a little odd to me... anyone else notice anything a little 'unusual'?

They don't expire, but you don't get THAT many out of the events, and there's no reason to save them indefinitely. Generally you use them up at the next event trying to get a prog.

Really??? today, a bide, wing, taroth, banish on a team..

Ive summoned a total of 1 AA since Ive started playing DS..

A Team really blew it with this thing... all it's doing it pissing off 40,000 people who are seeing what someone else was able to summon is just one day.

I figured I'd get something decent when I lucked out and pulled an AA and five A throughout the day. Didn't even crack the top 500.

That's more than most, especially for those of us that don't spend (m)oney on the game. Even some people who do (b)uy dark summons have never summoned an AA.

Maybe these uber-summoners are really dev's in disguise... i used to play this other online game where developers would sometimes fly around in these nearly-indestructible ships that all other players would attack on sight. If you saw one, you always wanted one...

maybe the people who summon 4 AAs in a day are just developers' accounts, trying to give "inspiration" to others to summon summon summon / (b)uy (b)uy (b)uy in hopes of getting an AA...

Stranger things have happened...

Who gets inspired by seeing someone do the impossible? If the daily winner had one AA and a couple strong As, I might've given it a shot. But now that I know it takes 4 AAs, it'd be pointless to try to compete with that.

sometimes seeing the "impossible" makes it seem possible

Seeing Usain Bolt run a 9.6 didn't make me want to go lace up...

its either bs or another hack spending fake soul points cause if the chance of getting a AA is .001 and they get four shouldnt that be like 4000 dark summons at $2.30 a dark summon thats like spending $9200 in a day if someone actually does that then they should be shot!

Are you a competitive runner? I bet it *did* make some competitive runners want to get better. Not all, of course... I'm sure there were some who, like you, said, "I'm never going to be able to do that".

Not that DS is a sport, but for those players willing to invest serious (m)oney, it might make them want to invest a little more...

Whether one is a competitive runner or not, the chances of running a 9.6 100 is pretty close to the chances of getting 4 AAs in one day. That was the point.

Also... I haven't been keeping track of the leader boards on a daily basis -- i haven't had time -- but consider that someone who "blew their wad" on day 1 may not have the amassed summons or finances to go "all in" on day 6...

are the total point amounts for summoning going up, down, staying the same?

EVE? lol the thing is it was possible to actually beat those dev super ships, they once escorted a transport, got defeated by a coalition but they were cool about it and actually paid hefty randsom for their stuff back.

lol no, i was thinking of "Dark Orbit"... i guess i like online games with "Dark" in the title

Take a look at the results from the 3rd day. If you thought that 4 AA summons in one day was bad enough. At least 2 guys summoned FIVE AAs in a single day. And one of those guys ALSO won on the first day. So he has summoned 7 AAs at least over 3 days. Must be a millionaire.

I summoned one AA on the 2nd day and that was good enough for 74th. Free epic dark summon turned into a Balrog..meh made me slightly happy

Does anyone think that Ateam adjusted the rate for A/AA summons during this event? That could be why we're seeing so many more of these summons.
Or, it could be a way for Ateam to find accounts to scrutinize more. So let's say someone is blowing through 1000's of soul points for this event. Then they could check the account payment history to see how many that person has bought.

Are you kidding me? Do you see the kind of stuff people are summoning?! Guys team who won one say was something like Raminas, Grizel, Tengen, etc. Who gets that lucky?! I've done about 100 dark summons before (I AM ashamed and since have not paid any money) and I've never gotten any AA. Best summon was MLD.

This is really odd... I checked the winners around 5:30pm, and it was completely different. Winner only had 2 AAs. Something is very odd about this whole contest.

ryesteve wrote:Yeah, I already inferred that the reason they're not letting players use these AA summons until after the event is because they don't want to reveal that they're only going to get the lousy ones.

Pretty sure the reason they would not want people to use them is to prevent them from automatically having an aa in their form next day. 3 really good aa's per day are not going to Jill a trams market.

ok something very odd is going on yesterday i checked my rank and i was 480 and won a free dark summon and one hour later i was 1100 and got a participation prize energy potion for the same day i changed rank!!
