Care to clue us in on what this means? What does this apply to? How much better is "better"? How long is this going to last for? Is there a "better" chance for rares too?

    Can you fill us in on what this means? It's on the "what's in the vault" marquee on the main screen, but when you click on it, it just takes you to the vault. There's no option to purchase anything that fits that description in the vault.

    /s This refers to elite packs. A confirmation that your chances of drawing a masterpiece card is reduced following the update. /s

    Can we get some clarification here @Brigby? Seems like a big deal but the client is not that helpful.

    I'm curious, does the "/s" mean that you're employing sarcasm/snark?

    After seeing the feedback in other threads it seems as though this was necessary to avoid falling foul of being misinterpreted :D

    In this case though, I may I advertantly be on the money. Which is depressing.

    I was guessing they would let us purchase a better chance to get a mythic...

    But all the ones, who are not on the forums think now, that they have a higher chance of a getting a mythic?
    You should immediately announce that in the activity hub or, even better, erase it for now.

    I've reached out to the developers to request an Inbox notification be set up, but they're on EDT timezone, and unfortunately already out of office. I should hear back from them tomorrow.

    If it isn't offered until Saturday why is it here now. This is just a ruse to trick people out of their currency. Honest mistake or More shadiness? You be the judge.

    To those buying packs "assuming" the drops are better, please do your research before investing.  When I saw the notice, there's no indication which packs it's referring to, so the prudent thing to do is go to the forums and look for the relevant thread which no doubt has already been started.

    well I've wasted 1500 crystals hoping to benefit from "better drop rates" only to find out that "development team" didnt even bother to step into normal player shoes to see how misleading it is.

    I saw it, clicked on it and thought it was bugged out, not that blindly buying packs would somehow give more mythics.

    It's amazing how basic logic and common sense can escape the general population.

    Lol same. 


    Here's a thought - if the devs actually played the game day-to-day, I wonder how long it'd take them to quit, or recognize their own foolishness and stuff ups. I wonder what they'd think if their drop rates, the new player progression, the recurring event schedule etc. Etc. I think it'd be quite interesting.

    Well, to be honest I have been wondering whats been happening to the drop rates for the last 2 months... I've spent crystals on big boxes and seen 1 rare and 0 mythics in all the packs combined.  Not once, not twice, but three times.  So I stopped spending anything until I get confirmation on what is happening with the drop rates.  Before I used to see a rare or mythic maybe once every 5-10 free daily boosters.
