    Is the free GRN Elite pack coming via Inbox later today? Because right now, it's still the usual 400 pinks.

    @Brakkis @Hesturk I'll double check when it's expected to be sent out to all players, however I believe it should be sometime later today.

    @Brigby you forgot to mention the 74% drop rate of MPs and 97% drop rate of mythics from the HOU packs as part of the anniversary celebrations.

    But the player base thanks you.  Please pass our regards to oktagon. They should do this more often.

    Confirmed? Or in-app text error? I’m currently seeing the same thing.

    Let's just say that you'll be seeing a lot more omniscience decks around.

       The droprate is confirmed ... But the fact that it was made on purpose isn't ... 
        Anyway ... This is the best time ever to harvest those precious orbs... I opened a 12600 orbs PP yesterday.

    That's....actually a bug. Sorry for the confusion. It should now be fixed in the 3.1 hotfix that just went live, alongside the fixes to Lich's Mastery and Gideon's Intervention.

    LOL, Best Bug EVER!!!!

    As a marketer, I'd be curious to see what the "Mana Crystals" Sales uptick was during this "Bug" as you guys may have a nice little cash engine if you limit it to a 24 to 48 hour window. 

    As a player who had stockpiled a lot of gold over the last month, THANK YOU! Finally got Omni and ID (And nearly every other legacy Mythic I've been chasing for the last few months :P )

    Almost dropped cash on crystals for this, so I'd be interested to see it too. Just got back to 195 crystals, but luckily checked the drop rates again first before purchasing. Sad day, was great while it lasted

    I think that was our favorite bug in a while - even when nearly every player now has omniscience ;)

    If you've got any influence.. I'm dying about knowing more about the tier thingy spoiled here.. There's a fifth mastery symbol I don't know!

    Well, that was $40 I wouldn't have spent otherwise... No Omni though. :(

    Actually it is a good thing. I suggest doing the same thing for Origin set. This helps new players get up to speed. Origin does not have too strong cards and everyone will have some crafting orbs

    BOOOOOOO

    I didn't get to pull an Omni.  Please return the drop rates to the higher values until I can get one.  Thank you.
