any bonus packs that are awarded will not count towards the 1M packs that are available to be purchased in the presale. Bonus packs will still be eligible for all pack-based presale rewards as described below.
Where does the "bonus" presale packs come from.
I suspect out of the overall supply but I don't see that mentioned?
$4.00 a pack ...
I understand the increase and logic behind it. I think $3.00 would of been more reasonable. Doubling the price is a big jump. This increase also doubles the amount of USD that is needed to be spent before a bonus is given. (current) 100 packs $400 for 10% bonus vs. (past) $200 Spent for 10% bonus. I would of liked to see a small decrease in price for presale packs vs. regular sale as what was done for land. Example $3 presale packs / $4 regular sale. I think it would of made for some extra FOMO on top of the FOMO that is already created.
(I can hear aggroed in the back saying,"No Rentmoney, You can't have more for less :). I'd also like to see the presale stretched to 6-8 weeks. Stretching the presale will also stretch the new editions booster sales lifespan which seems in line with all the changes announced in the topic. On top of all that I would also like to say, GOOD JOB, yous are doing amazing considering all that needs to be done to please us crazy fanatic monster maniacs. I know I said this in the past but I feel as it needs to be pointed out when possible, Don't forget to sit back and enjoy your handy work. Yous are changing lives with helping people become "pro" gamers and self employed. Thanks for all you do.
Alternate suggestion for booster sales.
- Presale: $2 Boosters (1 Million Packs)
- Next X Million Boosters: $2.50
- Next X Million Boosters: $3.00
- Next X Million Boosters: $4.00 USD
- Last 1 Million Boosters: $5.00 USD
Imagine the FOMO the above would create.
That would create some insane fomo. First million and nobody is too worried. Next one goes a lot faster and people start to take notice and jump in. They fly out in a couple of weeks and people whale in.
They will FOMO for 4$ anyway lol
on wax these packs could be 100$ and folks would probably still fomo in🤣
I like this alternate solution! The sps for governance should be used to make decisions like this.
sucks even more :D
I think there should be not that expensive at all otherwise it will be really hard to compare that TCG to offline ones because this becomes the millionaire version of it.
So offline you're paying $5 per pack, right? That would be the end goal in my opinion. Just shouldn't be more expensive than offline TCGs.
Yes, it would be more expensive than offline TCG however offline TCG's like Yugioh, don't have a "rare or higher each pack" promise. Heck, some of it is 1 rare for the ENTIRE BOX which means in this case, you have higher chance of getting back what you paid for (and more).
What? Ever since the existence of Yugioh, there was a guaranteed rare in a pack. Maybe this is something new that I'm not aware of, but I doubt it.
I'm a yugioh player for more than 10 years and no, it's nto guaranteed to have a rare in a pack. You can get all commons if your luck sucks or worse, you don't get any secret rares on one whole box.
I'm not going to link anything here, but just to be clear, you can search for Yugioh booster pack TCG and open any official info page and you will find this sentence.
Each main series Booster Pack is guaranteed a Rare, 7 Commons, and a ninth card which will either be another Common or a foil card (Super Rare rarity or higher).
I have some unopened packs that I'm so close to opening up just to prove you wrong but that would be a huge lol.
There is even another simple solution you can do. Go on youtube search ANY pack opening video and that's it, I don't think you will need more proof after that.
Also, for booster boxes it says this (on wiki):
If a customer buys a booster box of a pack that contains a Ghost Rare card, they have a 1/36 chance of getting one. The probability of getting {\displaystyle x} Ghost Rares in one box is {\displaystyle (1/36)^{x}}.
Boxes are cheaper per pack and per card than buying booster packs. A booster box of 24 booster packs...
While I didn't find any conclusive info for Secret rares, I'm sure they are maybe two times as likely to show up as Ghost rares. So yeah, there is a decent chance to not see a Secret rare in a box although there is almost always 1 (from my experience).
10 year bro? I mean, what have you been doing for those 10 years then? Not buying packs? xD Just teasing ya :P, but still, you are wrong.
There is other info suggesting there is a limited amount of commons in a pack but, as I said. The easiest way to confirm this is to watch a video of someone opening packs for half an hour xD.
Was hanging out yesterday with a friend that is still an active player so I asked him to clear this guaranteed rare thing for me. Funny enough he was going to open a whole box that day... so he did xD. Well, the result was, every pack a rare, and lucky son of a got 2 Secret rares. I'm not here to gloat, just to share some info :D
