After reading the dev comments I was cautiously optimistic about the new premium packs.
I know it’s a small sample size, but after opening a big box equivalent (600 crystals) and getting only the guaranteed rares, both dupes, I’m not sure if anything changed for the better. Has anyone else ripped packs post patch?
I was used to at least 2-3 rares at minimum, plus the guaranteed with the old big boxes.
I also opened 2 packs
3 rares + 2 guaranteed
0 mythics
1 x 300 crystals pack and one guaranteed rare 
I got two non duplicates…still underwhelming. Whale, tower or it’s a bust for me
Was your dupe rate any better? I got multiples of Armorcraft Judge, Ballista Charger, Bomat Barge and others. In fact give that it was only 10 packs there felt like a ton of dupes.
Again I realize that RNG is still fickle and it could just be bad luck, but I thought they may have introduced some duplicate logic checks into a multi-pack opening.
To be fair I think I might have all the rares.
Two premium packs:
First - One guaranteed rare only
Second - 2 mythics, 3 rares counting guaranteed. All dupes sadly, but that was a great rate.
RNG gotta be RNG. shrug
I got one – two mythics and a rare.
Just bought one. 6 Rares as the result…
I opened 7 packs, totalling 2100 crystals. I received 7 guaranteed rares + 6 additional rares + 1 mythic. I am no longer optimistic either. This had done nothing for receiving cards I already have or increasing the chance of Mythic cards, which is what all veteran players are really after. 3 rares were received multiple times throughout those packs. Dupe rates still there
Opened a pack, a mythic and two rares, all dupes. one rare guaranteed.
Opened 1 pack and got Gonti’s Aether Heart which I needed, 1 rare and 1 guaranteed rare (both dupes but I’m not sure if I’m missing any rares). Makes up for the last few boxes I opened.
The results seem to be all over the place but the bad results feel worse because we were optimistic. My first only gave me dupe Midnight Oil - twice! Nothing else. I don’t want to open another one after this debacle. But others seem to be more lucky, so who knows?
Its very poor what theyve done. They made it more expensive given what you get.
14 packs for 600 vs 5 for 300 now…Drop rate is just as bad.
Opened 2 of the 5x packs. 1 guaranteed, 1 rare both dupe…both times.
Meet the new drop rate. Same as the old drop rate. I opened 5 premium packs and got just 7 rares. No mythic or masterpiece cards. This is extremely frustrating. I would really appreciate a pity timer or a way to craft specific cards from runes or some other currency duplicate cards could be converted to.
I opened 2 packs for 600 crystals and got 5 rares (including the free rare) and 1 mythic.
Opened two packs, four total rares, all dupes but that was expected as I have most of them already, and one masterpiece, sword of fire and ice.
