Hi everyone,
We had a Data Push, and here is what you need to know:

Changes:

  • Changed The Ultimate Planeswalk event to be playable one time only.
  • Changed The Ultimate Planeswalk event reward from non-duplicate Legacy Boosters to duplicable Legacy Boosters.

    Boo, hiss.

    One play through makes sense when the rewards are good and the event is run regularly, but why also nerf the legacy packs? It’s not like there are any other opportunities to obtain them. Dup legacy packs are just 50 orbs. Not interesting.

    Will you please consider the legacy pack to be non-duplicate again? Without the ability to play the event more than once, it doesn't impact the overall currency balance very much.

    I feel sorry for the players who didn’t have the time last weekend to play TUP.
    Also for the players who didn’t catch on to the possibility to play the event multiple times.

    I wonder how Oktagon’s initial prize package for TUP was supposed to have been. The new prize package looks very harsh and deterring.

    15k orbs for one run is still very appealing

    @jtwood - Yes 15k orb is ok, if you are not a VIP, assuming that the anniversary booster still gives you 6 cards. Oktagon has not said otherwise so, I think that is a fair assumption, but assumptions have been wrong before.

    What I was trying to say was that obviously the first TUP was flawed and ended up being a cornucopia. Now Oktagon is changing the prizes and they seems to go all the way over to the other ditch. I wonder if the intention was rerun with non duplicate legacy boosters.

    well I would say for us that subscribe to vip. thats a huge improvement to this event that previously gave non dupe legacy packs away at zero cost to the players.. and I known this upset a few vip members.
    (not my opinion)

    VIP has never really been fairly priced for low income players to start with.

    I completely agree, that the event was way too generous, but I also think, that this seems a little too harsh. At least one of the legacy packs could easily be non-dupe. They are legacy packs, most people will not have even all uncommons. Dupe packs will mean 40 orbs and an uncommon at best for most players.

    The problem with the event was that it was playable more than once with no limit. Now that it is being changed to be playable once only, please keep the legacy pack non-dup. Perhaps making one of them a one-card non-dup rare only legacy booster pack and the second one a 5-card non-dup legacy pack, so that we are only receiving 6 new legacy cards instead of 10, would be a good compromise?

    A wise choice would have been to just let it be playable 1 time, but with the same prizes, imho..
    I'm sorry for players who didn't have the chance to participate the first time, now it will not be the same experience :/

    Leave the legacy packs alone. All you needed to do was limit the entries to 1 or something.

    I am grateful to have played in last week's iteration of the event at least, it was a blast.

    Thanks for giving us a free event event that hands out a bunch of unique MPs for legacy events... or 15k orbs

    That's an excellent payout considering it costs us literally nothing to get these rewards

    This is still a wonderful event. I hope it doesnt get forgotten and never run again.
