Specialty Pack Roster

I think it would be a really good idea to know who is potentially available during an event's specialty pack. I would be much more inclined to shell out the $30.00 for a 10-pack if I know going in that there are a lot of heroes available that I'm still missing covers for.

Currently you only get a hint at some of them, based on who's being displayed graphically on the button to buy them.

If I see a specialty pack which only advertises Thor, Original Black Widow, and the featured 3* hero I'm going to pass on spending money on them since I don't need any Thor or Original Black Widow covers. Meanwhile, the specialty pack also has a chance to give out Captain America, Bullseye, Classic Storm, and Modern Hawkeye.

If I had known that Cap, Bullseye, Storm, and Hawkeye were also possibilities, I would probably shell out the $30.00 since: A) I want/need the featured hero for the event, and B) I still need some Cap, Bullseye, Storm, and Hawkeye covers. Not because they are immediately useful to me, but because I'm missing covers for them and it would be nice to have them should I need a place to dump my excess ISO's in hopes of them eventually being useful to me in the future.

Now don't be confused. I'm not asking to know specifically what covers you would get for an individual purchase. That defeats the whole idea of random draw. What I want to know is what I have a chance at receiving. Normally this is something that I would look up on a wiki. However, with specialty packs, they don't stick around long enough to properly data mine them.

Edit: While we're at it, this would also be a nice feature for the Standard and Heroic packs as well.

    They're usually fairly clear. Some say they provide the featured characters (implying only), while some say they have an increased chance of certain characters (implying everyone is available), and they usually tell you what the minimum star-level of the covers is as well.

    If you search hard you can figure out the info.

    It is not provided easily because unlike you most people would immediately skip knowing they will buy 8 covers of hawk/capt/bagman or whatever is currently featured. The interface want to imply you get mostly the really wanted stuff to push the button.

    We have a thread with token frequencies (in a fine sheet in the cloud) with reported opens -- the pack works exactly as tokens, so the pack is like you got the ensured thing, and 9 of the tokens opened.
