    Longtime lurker, first time poster.

    I am afraid that this "entry fee" of crystals is going to turn a lot of players away.

    I have been on the fence these last few weeks about aticking around for this game. I've played since the beginning but, if you guys are moving event content behind a paywall, that is pay to play and I am out of here.

    Based on previous developer "improvements" I will assume you have no intentions of handing out free crystals in a repeatable way...

    I hope the accountants REALLY thought this one through...

    Depends on the prize payout, if you can earn back 60 manacrystal.png in the event it's all good. If you get half a mythic worth of jewels, I'd grind that as much as my manacrystal.png budget allows. However, I've never spent 60 manacrystal.png on a 5 card pack because it's not worth it to me. If the prizes aren't substantially greater than just earning 1 or 2 normal packs I'm probably not going to play it more than a few times.

    Yes but as these are nodes with increasing difficulty, a locked in planeswalker, and no refreshes, I'm understanding it as you lose once and it's over. So what happens if you lost on your second or third fight and didn't earn back mana crystals (assuming they're available in the event) then what?

    And even if other events run concurrently if you don't pay to play these events, you have an even harder time getting powerful cards than you already do meaning you'll get beaten more often in quick battle and other events. Add to that there's been no added story, and this seems just more division of the players into those who already have getting more and those who didn't have already continuing to fall behind.

    Hi everyone,

    First time I'm posting too, even if I've been lurking around for quite a time. I'm very worried about this "pay to play" orientation the game seems to take.

    I really like the game as a free to play game for those who like it this way, even if that means that I have to deal with overpowered cards bought by paying players. Even though I managed to get platinum and achieve decent results in events or in PvP battles.

    I think I'll quit if I have to pay just to play. But I guess that's precisely what the Devs (or their bosses !) are looking for ?

    Ertaii.

    Removal of the Big Boxes hurts, the premium packs are a poor replacement. Spending 600 manacrystal.png will get you whole 5 packs less, one extra rare doesn't make up for that. This will make Mythics much harder and expensive to get and is quite a big nerf. Not happy about this.

    If I understand some of the previous statements that the devs made correctly, it's going to be 60 crystals for the whole week, not 60 crystals per day.

    If we've been hoarding big boxes and fat packs until aether revolt exclusives aren't, are we going to lose those? Or should I just open them up now?

    I've updated the original post with the answer to that, but long story short, you will not lose your boosters. They will still be claimable after the update.

    Thanks, very glad to have a quick answer on this.

    Actually I don't think they're all that bad.

    They are really not that bad. Impressive though for the most part.

    Apologies, but unfortunately I don't currently possess the information as to when Saheeli will be available in the Vault for crystals.
