    So far, it's good.

    Conceptually, like the anniversary pass, don't love where it's located in the games ui tho.

    Looking forward to the next few weeks

    I think the "that's a steel" vault is pretty cool, though it seems to only be daily-play accessible. This year's anniversary vault having that many things in it and costing as much as it does somehow doesn't feel as cool as it maybe ought to, even though there are some good things in it. The lightning vaults are interesting, but are all priced out of my range pretty significantly. I really like the season pass being available for 1,000hp, that was a pretty sweet deal.

    Which CP store is at a discounted pull rate? All mine are showing 25cp as normal except the Undhead one that is a full dilution store running from 2* all the way through to 5* which is kinda not something I'm going to throw cp at, and the Classic Legends store which I only just found out at some point had its 5* odds dropped down to ~1:8 without any announcement that I was aware of.

    The fan favorites is 1:4.

    Not sure I’d call that a discount, but better odds is nice for sure.

    Missing those vaults from last year kinda killed it for me. Now, it just feels like more chores.

    The sun'll come out tomorrow
    Bet your bottom dollar, that tomorrow there'll be sun
    Just thinking about tomorrow
    Clears away the cobwebs, and the sorrow 'til there's none

    When I'm stuck with a day that's gray and lonely
    I just stick out my chin, and grin, and say, oh
    The sun'll come out tomorrow
    Oh, you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow, come what may

    Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow
    You're always a day away

    The sun'll come out tomorrow

    Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow
    You're always a day away
    Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow
    You're always a day away ...

    I bought the anniversary vault out a couple of times before I came to my senses. Only really did it because I hoard for these events and made it feel like it wasn't a complete waste of time.

    Terrible vault value and hate the 119 items.

    Feels worse than last year, but it hasn't really got going yet.

    Hated that I had 4 pvps running at once. I spread too thin and did badly in all of them. Class of events also suck monkeys bits.

    Zombie theme, effort into skins and covers is superb, love it.

    Christmas will be better guys, not long to go!

    This is why last year ruined this year

    People think we will get those Xmas vaults back ... Will we who knows they ran vaults like that up to what March April and never agin

    Personally I don't think they will come back as 😊 of as last year

    Thank you for putting this all together but the vaults are about the same year after year. They really need a redo

    I wish I had a pound for every time you said something wasn't coming back again and then it comes back again. It's been at least 4 days since you said it was the end of the 19.99 deals.

    What 19.99 deals

    And when did I say it was the end

    seems post went nuts

    Should say I don't think they will come back as GOOD as last year

    Will they come back yes
    Will they come back as good as last year. Who knows

    Agreed, the vaults compared to last year are very disappointing.
    The 1000 CP lightning vault was particularly awful. I don’t see the motivation to spend on that incredibly high price tag for the chance at a 3> 4 star when you pretty much get 2 each just for playing and completing the season quests!

    The HP Lightning Vaults are getting closer to a decent value. Closer... but still not quite there for me.

    All the goodwill they got from me has been dissipated thanks to Quandry. They didn't listen to players, didn't tweak it. On Wiccan day, at least you can prevent her damage. On Clea day, you are 100 percent at the mercy of the board with no power to affect bad tile placements.

    Last year, I stopped playing (and paying for) the whole dang game for a few MONTHS because this nonsense made me so livid, and I feel myself heading that way again. I know it's just a game, blah blah, blah, but I play hard and I play it to have fun and I'm a completionist at heart--and this capricious unfair board nonsense makes me so bloody ANGRY.

    If it makes you feel that way you should absolutely walk away. Games are meant to be fun.

    Also...they watch usage and playtime metrics very closely. If you're playing this, and spending time on it, it looks like you enjoy it. If nobody played this last year, I guarantee it wouldn't have returned.

    I’m glad it’s back, it’s a fun change of pace.

    Vaults are on par with what they were last anniversary so far. There were quite a few during it, including ones with dev dino and Howard. Hopefully they'll rotate in like last year.

    I believe it's the December and January Deals vaults everyone is thinking of. The December Deals vault was the 56 item vault loaded w/ 5* covers, 18 LL's, and 4 roster slots among other goodies. I have the inventories of them all, can post it over the weekend(it's A LOT).
