Each off season, there were 40x cover packs for 10,000 HP. They haven't shown this off season, have they been discontinued by D3? Brigby, is this an answer you can find out for us?

    There. I fixed it for you.

    Otherwise, yes, where are the 10K HP 40 packs?

    They probably sold too well compared to Heroic 40-packs. Or they decided to cut back on the number of token screens.

    I doubt they were cutting back with 4 token screens related to Civil War and Black Panther. We probably could have done without the regular heroic screen for a few days

    Great question! I've sent out an email to the development team asking about that. Once I hear back from them, I'll update this post with their response. Thanks!

    Update: It turns out that the off-season packs are temporarily unavailable to avoid any potential confusion among the player base. Apparently in the past there were players that had unfortunate experiences purchasing Heroic Packs, unaware that the Off-Seasons packs were technically cheaper, only to realize afterwards they had made a needlessly more expensive purchase.

    What the team is looking to do now is come up with a better system that would alleviate this problem, and to prevent this negative experience from occurring again, they've had to make this off-season pack offer unavailable in the meantime.

    Because I didn't use my eyeballs so well I never noticed this was a thing. What type of tokens are/were these?

    Any off-season PvP had them. It was really just Heroic tokens but the large packs were cheaper.

    Brigby, while we're on the topic of input verses reward, can you explain the rational behind a 3* PvP 40 pack, like the current God of Lies ones, costing 15800 and heroics costing 11200? Do the devs really see a decreased chance at any 4* for an increased chance at a specific 3* being worth an additional 4600 HP? Call me crazy, but if I'm spending an additional $40 worth of resources, I'd want an improved chance at the better characters. If it is a 4* PvP, I can see the argument. But for 3* Loki, this is just silly.
