I've wanted Sarasvati ever since her Ultimate Evolution got announced in JP. The Indian 2 Pantheon has popped up in GodFests three times since then. The first time she hit the REM was right after the June Player's Choice GodFest, right after I had spent all the stones I had been saving up for the past few months. Just to add salt to the wound, this particular GodFest coincided with a Water Gala, it was the perfect chance to roll her and I had next to no stones. I completed every dungeon I could to scrounge up the stones for at least one more pull, but in the end, the event didn't even get me a featured god. I figured it would be a while before the Indians were back at the REM, so I decided to hoard my stones for my chance.
When they came back, they were alongside the Chinese Celestials, another great pantheon that I'm more than willing to roll in. That turned out to be what I consider my most successful GodFest ever. I think I rolled something ridiculous like 10/12 gold eggs featuring Krishna, Vishnu, Durga, and even Rodin. But true to the desire sensor, I failed to obtain Sarasvati, the one whom I desired the most.
Fast forward a bit and we get to
ANYWAY, yeah, Indian 2 came again right after I was done wasting all my stones on chibifest 2015. I was half excited half disappointed, excited because I got another chance to roll for my beloved Sarasvati, disappointed because I had like 8 stones. I did some more dungeons to get stones and somehow managed to scrounge together 15 by the day of.
I opened up the REM, took a breath, closed my eyes for a bit and pulled. Gold Egg. Awesome. But I was prepared for disappointment, I knew with the recent changes to the REM, gold rates were now much higher, but so were troll gold rates. I waited in anticipation half hoping that it was Sarasvati and half hoping it wasn't in some sort of lame attempt to beat the desire sensor. I got a blue mech thingy that just made its way into the NA REM lineup. Oh well, at least it's better than a mermaid, time to roll again. Another gold popped out of the dragon. ISIS. I was ecstatic at this point. I had been wanting Isis for a while. Not only do I really like her art and concept, but she was just what I needed for my Awoken Ra team.
Riding on my newfound (and misplaced) momentum, I proceeded to roll again. This was my last shot for a while at getting my Sarasvati. Did I mention that this was a big deal because it's a Water Gala again? No? Well it was. I see the gold egg pop out as it bounces and makes that ever so satisfying ringing sound all I could do was imagine how happy I would be if I saw Sarasvati. The egg is center screen, the light flashes and I hold my breath in anticipation. The light begins to fade and...
Ganesha.
Welp, better luck next time I guess. Although at this point I have every single Indian 2 god except for her...
