I saved my packs after last update. Had 10 individual and 1 4x fat pack plus a free 8hr pack to open. Out of the 74 cards I only got 3 rares and only shambling vent wasn't a duplicate. I only got 4 non dup's total! I'm up to 34 rare cards now icon_rolleyes.gif .

Anyone else get excited for nothing, or did you steal my luck.

    I have crystals but cannot get SOI packs with them. It keeps saying order cancelled. Any one have an answer to this?

    This is the game now... you have to shed thousands of dollars if you want any decent amount of rares/mythics... I settled to do only the story mode for now on, and play very casually on events/quick battles.
  • The last big box i get 0 mythic 2 rares (already have, and with about 4 copys each)

    For the prize of crystals is obviously that i wouldnt pay for any product

    I purchased 4 big boxes of SOI (2400 crystals). I received a total of 7 rares (+4 guaranteed rares) and 0 mythics. That is less than 2 non guaranteed rares per box and 3 of them were duplicates. Talk about dissapointment. I clearly pissed off the RNG Gods.

    I'll miss the days of 1-2 mythics and 5-8 rares in a big box. Now it seems like 0-1 mythic and 1-3 rares on average.

    Could have gone worse...

    You could have gotten lots of mythics and got totally screwed by save rollback...
  • I had saved some crystals to buy a Big Box at launch. I even considered buying some crystals for another one.
    I got 2 rares from the Big Box I opened (one was the guaranteed rare).
    No way I'm gonna spend money for one more disappointment.

    Somehow scored 1 mythic and 5 rares, 2 of the rares seem usable, the mythic and the rest of the rares not so much.

    Welcome to the fold. Devil playground.

    Harness the storm, deathcap cultivator, hanveir militia leader, cryptolyth rites.
    So the thid best card I got was inner struggle.

    one thing I learnt about random freebie packs:

    don't have high expectations, then one won't be disappointed if nothing great comes out.

    I didn't expect anything good from the 11 origins packs freebies I won from PvP nop.

    I got my first nessa's revelations from them. the rest are repeats traded for runes to power up my next pw purchase. icon_e_smile.gif
