Elder dragon mythics

Quick question: Have Chromium and Arcades been through the vault? 

Irishme

Not yet.

Thank you. I saw them mentioned in some comments somewhere and I thought they went on sale and I missed them.

They went through crafting for a a few hours. So you may encounter them in the wild.

I crafted a few, bummed me out to no end

Froggy

I crafted all of them. Lololololol!!!!

Aside from Palladia, the other dragons are really good. The best one is Vaevictis - play it with Raider’s Wake... Brutal combo.

Philosophical question: where does purposefully crafting cards that weren’t meant to be crafted lie on the sliding scale of morality?

I mean, they were available to craft.  And since we didn't get any sort of announcement before or immediately after the update, we had no way of knowing they weren't meant to be crafted (I mean, we assumed it of course.  But it wasn't definitive)

If you want to blame someone, blame the devs that messed it up.  Not the players that took advantage of it.

(also, sidenote, is there a story behind that no nazis line in your signature?  I'm hoping its just a joke)

Oh, I’m not blaming anyone. Even devs make mistakes. Heck, everyone makes mistakes. However, I think it’s best to be honest about them instead of sweeping them under a rug. 

I wish the “no Nazis” was a joke. The alt-right people invaded the game for a bit and one thing I refuse to tolerate is intolerance. There are a few competitive teams that welcome that sort of rhetoric; but not ours.

I had to craft them to get to Demanding Dragon to clear it out of the way for my elite+ roll. Of course the above mentioned was the last mythic I crafted from the set....

Sheesh.  I've seen some nutters try to join up with us, but no obvious Nazis.  I'm sorry you had to deal with that.  Can't believe that its something we need to be worried about in a Magic-themed Bejweled game.

Until the devs confirm something like this or fix it, it's as likely to be intended behavior as the opposite. Unless they speak about what their plans, we can't know.

After the confirmation that it is a bug, from a strictly morality based point of view, I'd consider it as using a minor exploit, thus being amoral.

But not like on a relevant skale.

Heh. WotC tends to piss them off a bit what with their commitment to representing diversity. I’m not saying I think WotC always gets it right, but they try.

One of my teammates was upset by crafting elder dragons. He went right in without looking to see they were available as soon as he saw crafting open. He wanted to buy them for the package. He contacted support and asked them to return his orbs. They agreed with proof of purchase. I thought that was solid.

I have no idea how Nazis would even be involved in this game.  Like, any conversation even related to politics would be off topic.  If there's backstory here I'd be interested if someone wanted to send me a private message. O.o

On topic: I was tempted to get the elder-dragons when they were craftable, but specifically avoided crafting until they were gone.  Somewhat out of fear that if the developers might revoke the elder dragons and not reimburse the orbs (or maybe they would eventually but it would be a mess), somewhat out of fear that the cards are just inherently "meh".

Can I please give them back? I did NOT want them. I don't like them and I had no choice to exclude them from crafting.
I don't think I like the insinuation here either.....

To answer this, I don’t see anything wrong with it. For one, I have spent money on this game and so don’t feel bad that finally there is something that I could enjoy without spending cash. Second, I had no idea they were not supposed to be there in the first place. In fact, I didn’t know they were pulled from crafting until I saw this thread and posted. If there was something wrong with it (morally), the devs would have announced it, recredited my orbs and removed the cards - they didn’t. And lastly, I had over 75K orbs to burn. I so I burnt some. Now I “only” have 50K. I also crafted everything possible all so my Elite Packs were guaranteed Masterpieces.

Sorry, but it wasn't announced that's a bug before remove. So, how can you know that's "wrong" ?

I had to craft them that day, to get all the missing myth, to have straight shoot at the MP in Elite-Pack. I didn't want them to be craftable. I don't use them and could wait until legecy to craft them for cheap.
