@Magic:PQ Support Team - Just checking, am I the only one who has had very limited offers in the “specials” tab for the last week or more?

I’m wondering if perhaps offers are marked as VIP-only. Is that the case and as intended?

Or is the lack of offers a result of the next set coming soon?

How are it looking for VIP-players?
How are it looking for other non-VIP-players?

    I'm a non-VIP ATM I have only.
    1. The Starter Pack (the one with 100 yellow gems and barely enoughmana gems to nake dent) not worth my money
    2. The starter land set. Which I have all of them
    3. A deck booster of 3 cards which I have all but 1 of the cards.

    I'm happy to spend a little money, they just need to give something worth my money. I do tend to buy new Plainswalkers out right as they feel like the only things there that are worth buying. Simply buying regular booster there just aren't worth my money.

    It's very unusual to have so few special offers in the Vault Shop, isnt it?

    I mean look, I don't buy a lot of cash offers anyway (just a few PWs in the last year or so), but it does feel somewhat like just another thing that Webcore are forgetting to do, like updating the Elite packs every week, or forgetting to have a deck slot sale for years.

    @Janosik - yes I think so. I was curious if it was only me.

    Could it be that WebCore has more in store for us than a new set with the coming update? I mean it is plausible that they don’t want players to spend real money on the game just before prices change.

    Of course it is also plausible that is just a mistake by the “new guy” who set the wrong check mark when doing his work. If this is the case, we probably won’t see it fixed before the sales report lands on the senior managements desk in a few weeks/months.

    Yes, the content of specials is very limited at the moment.
    There is a lot of stuff that hasn't been offered since it's introduction.

    Examples:
    The 4 masterpieces from pm2
    Single colored pm2 booster
    Themed boosters from different sets
    Must have planeswalker not avaliable for gold
    Single special mystic or masterpiece legacy or standard

    Similar note, I think Xenogas as a Planeswalker was only in the vault for a short amount of time, and around when it disappeared was when Specials started being pretty sparse. Kinda figured that it may have been them recalculating when their next set would drop, so maybe them pulling back how fast they were releasing things. But it was kinda nice when before then there were multiple Planeswalkers in Specials at a time, overlapping, so that there were choices/options.

    Have VIP, but outside of the currency bundles that it evergreens in, and a PM1 discount bundle - there is a single use epic pack for OTJ, Aminatou and her deck starter sold separately, and the starter lands bundle. That is it.

    Honestly miss the times when there were discounted resales of some Planeswalkers with more recent theme packs. It gave starting players (or accounts) some easier ways of getting into things. Pour one out for Daxos, Kalemne, and Garruk CH. Your enemy color pairs were awesome!

    @naabaldan and @wraszowixuXuxi - thanks for chiming in. Looks universal so hopefully it is just pre-update lull.
