Elite pack rotations - A suggestion

in MtGPQ General Discussion

We are at a point in time now where we have a ton of card sets and still only the 3 regular elite packs each week with the addition 1 VIP pack and its really taking far to long to rotate in all the different sets everyone wants to see. Right now there is not even a Legacy pack available any more, something that only has happened once before in the last 14 months (week of April 16th, 2019)

The largest disadvantage I can brainstorm is adding another pack each week would be it would slightly reduce the value of the extra pack for VIP. I haven't really done anything with percentages but I think with the next set there would be runway to add BOTH a regular AND a VIP pack. Maybe those new ones can both be Legacy as its not currently represented at all.

That ADDS value to VIP 1/3 of the weekly offerings would be VIP vs the 1/4 it is currently. It also doesn't really do anything to dilute rarity. If your willing to offer everyone 3 of the 6 Standard packs after the next set it will drop to 3 of 7 and your adding a 1/7 set for legacy.

I believe there is precedence for adding packs as the number of sets has grown; but I wasn't around during that time.

    I don't think having 2 Legacy EP and 2 Standard EP instead of 1 and 2 (plus the VIP one) would break anything. And since there are more and more sets being added to the legacy collection I agree that it would be a good idea.


    @Oktagon_Support thoughts?

    Omg... do you realize how much work and testing this requires to implement. Now they need to increase the VIP price again. Btw did they even answer to a single one suggestion here that improves game quality of life? Also where did the money they get from VIP went to? Wait, wait... I know... new fancy Carnival costumes!

    Quite a few, as it turns out. I think all of these were added after being suggested on the forums:

    • Deck slots
    • Confirmation prompt on purchases
    • Ranking ties all get top reward instead of tiebreaking on timing
    • Booster crafting
    • 400 jewel elite pack made non-dupe
    • Simultaneous Standard and Legacy TG
    • Shield icon added to support cards
    • Graveyard visible during play
    • Speed up animations ("card visual aid")

    Those are the biggest features I can think of at the moment; there have also been a bunch more minor changes based on feedback.

    Hello; a reminder that we have been with the same number of packs since a VIP pack was added almost exactly a year ago.  

    We have added 4 new sets since then.  Anyone else want more elite pack choices?

    Is Ravnica Allegiance EVER going to roll around again? Been watching for it for at least 3 months

    Hi @QuiksilverHg
    Unfortunately, I don't have access to everything that's scheduled in the game.
    I will try to find this information for you.
