this has historically been updated as new sets would drop. It’s about time to move this from HOU. Is this something we can make happen?
Good Point
@Brigby @Oktagon_Daiane Is this intentional? Or just something lost in the shuffle with all the new content recently?
Intentional.
Also, is Across Ixalan going to switch to giving RIX packs at some point? I really think it should, or switch back and forth.
Stuff like this is never accidental.
D3 is not renowned for its infallibility. More the opposite, I would suggest.
After 8 months or whatever, it’s time to move on from HOU.
Or at least they might introduce another comparable new event for RIX.
I would be hard-pressed to believe this is an oversight. It limits the flow of orbs into the players’ hands. Which in turn makes people consider spending money on the various offers they have as ways to supplement or circumvent that thinner flow of orbs.
It’s probably just ‘good business’ on their part, in the sense that it drives up their profit margins, but that doesn’t lessen the feeling that they’re trying to take advantage of me. If that’s really what they’re doing, I just wish they’d come out and say it.
They probably should just officially discontinue TotP as the replacement event came with XLN (AI) and it’s been received by most as better in every way than ToTP.
No way. Without Totp we will no longer have a regular legacy Pvp event anymore, and we should also have the most opportunities to earn pink crystals as possible. Let’s not advocate for less opportunities for rewards in this game.
Can you pass this post along? @Brigby
Oh right. It is a legacy event. There’s some merit to that. Maybe it should give KLD packs now to match? 
Maybe they could make a new 5 card booster that covers “all non-standard” so you can ONLY get legacy cards from it.
What he said ^^^
Instead of crystals at the end, an chance this could be change to a legacy rare? I would definitely see unobtainium, a pack, and a random legacy rare as worth the 60-crystal entry.
Ok, that’s pushing it a bit. Remember, you are already getting several times the entry fee as is. The crystals at the end was originally made as a way to reward a perfect score (it was originally 2 charges on each node) with a 50% refund. Switching that to a guaranteed rare is too much, unless it needed 60 ribbons (new perfect score)
Dont be greedy. Asking for an updated pack reward is fine (since it probably is supposed to be, but Oktagon hasn’t changed any of the Hibernium events that they don’t have to). Trying to squeeze more rewards out of them isn’t right
I’m grateful for Rivals and it’s speedy release…but I can’t help but feel a bit tricked with Ixalan hitting a month before Rivals, and no notifications that it would be immediately followed by another set.
Maybe it wasn’t intentional, but a lot of us spent all our reserves on Ixalan, thinking it’s the only new content we’d see for the next 6 months. But now Rivals is out, and its content is great, but packs earn-able through gameplay are the new unobtainium. This is about as close as you can get to charging real money for new content without actually charging real money for the content.
My overall view of Octagon is still very positive, but in the future I might be a little more wary of tricks (intentional or not) like this.
I’m feeling pretty dumb too, after months of hoarding I went and blew all my crystals on Ixalan expecting it to be months till the next release.
Now with the increased newest set pack prices and planes walkers veritably raining down I’m feeling very crystal poor indeed.
with the reward pack for totp being HOU I feel that even with the 20 jewels being dangled i’ts just not quite enough to enter
