    After updating to the newest Version
    The elite packs are still unavailable.
    This comes unexpected for me as dsk fades out more than a week ago.

    FDN Elite packs still not in the Vault

    What is the reason?

    They came up with the updated Standard Elite Packs rotation last week. Sorry for the delay, but they're up now. May the odds be with you!

    Once more, the FDN Elite pack not in the vault shop today

    Have you considered automating the system which updates them

    OTJ elite booster has left the shop, too
    Still no vip elite booster.

    Hey, folks!

    Yes, automating stuff is a desire for the future. For the time being, FDN is back (both Elite and VIP Elite). OTJ is on rotation, so it being out of the shop is expected (right now, FDN, DSK and BLB are the ones permanently available).

    FDN Elite pack missing again

    Is this going to happen literally every week from now on

    Honestly I'm kinda interested to see what happens if we just stop reminding you about it

    Not a programmer: how are these things not automatic?

    Not sure if that's the case here, but implementing that would take a certain amount of time, as for testing and maintenance.

    So if you compare the cost of the previous versus the cost of doing it manually from time to time, there's absolutely no payback on actually doing the development.

    So there's probably one poor guy somewhere who's been asked to do that, and since he's human, he will forget from time to time and his hierarchy will blame him for it.

    It's the same with any feature, you can save time by not writing it, or any bug, you can save time by not fixing it.

    When I did a course in economics we learned this as the 'restaurant decline pattern' but that might just be a name our professor made up because google doesn't recognise it at all. Anyway, it's a great way to a) save lots of time and money, and b) go out of business.

    @Janosik I like your expression very much, thanks. I'll use it at work ;)

    Gone, just like the "daily" rewards and the communication.

    No FDN or DSK today, altho I suppose they could pretend that DSK was done on purpose

    Where is FDN now?

    I need this one to pull MT!

    I don't need the old elite packs, including Phyrexia and MOM. Otherwise, it will be considered a waste of time. Actually, I've asked more than once.:
    Make a separate store of elite packs so that players can choose which pack to their liking and spend pink crystals at will, rather than waiting once a week due to FDN or DSK or OJT.

    Because the more new packs and maps there are, the more elite packs there are, which means that the waiting time for the next rotation increases. It doesn't even get interesting and makes no sense at all.

    There is usually a VIP elite pack option as well and I haven’t seen that for a while now. Don't know what’s going on with elite packs lately but it seems like whoever is in charge of managing that just stopped caring.

    There are new elite packs in the vault! Foundations, Duskmourn and Bloomburrow.
