Pack duplicates hurt

General Discussion
1

So like most of you I had my Rise of shadows packs pre ordered
( 50 packs +1 I got for tavern brawl still have a play mode to do for a pack to). But damn that feeling of sadness when out of 255 cards 105 are duplicates! RNG was not with me and it feels super bad.

80+1 Packs. 221 duplicates and only 3 legendaries. Approximate drop rate for legendaries is around 20. I had opened 40 packs with one legendary card then pack opening froze and ques what? Second legendary. By far the worst experience with new expansion. Usually got same amount with 40 packs. Now I even don’t understand why I pre-bought the expansion.

If you do the math, it’s easy to see that complaining about duplicate commons is extremely naive. Missing commons you want after 51 packs is a fair complaint, as is any triplicate+ epics, but not duplicates in general.

But yeah the genuine low rolls like 3 leg in 81 (depending on when leg 3 was depends how harsh) do suck.

Wasn’t complaining was just saying.

Well your saying it hurts and that RNG wasn’t with you, but from what you’ve told us you could have literally had the luckiest pack opening in history.

What I’m saying is it felt bad, how I feel shouldn’t be upsetting you this badly

I’m not upset, just saying you could have got every legendary for all we know.

Oh… well i got 2 if that satisfies your curiosity. Although not the pre order one, not sure why that is though tbh. But yeah like I said this thread isn’t about complaining i just wanted people to share their experience of pack opening. Like yourself, get anything good?

I also only got 3 legendaries from the 80 pack bundle. If I had paid nearly £70 for this I would have been more annoyed. I used blizzard balance from the gold I have saved in World of Warcraft. I still have just over 7k gold in Hearthstone to buy some additional packs. Wish me luck!

Good luck buddy, let me know how you get on.

Damn, 2 in 51 is unlucky, hopefully you’re due one soon :slight_smile:

I got 1 in pack 1 but had to wait until 31 for my 2nd, hit a purple patch and got 4 in 28 and then the final one 26 packs later. So pretty good.

I’m only missing 1 common, so get 4 duplicates most packs lol.

Got 70 packs with the gold and got another 3 legendaries. From opening 150 packs in total I got about 4k worth of dust from duplicates. I have 11k in arcane dust in total so I can craft some legendaries of my choosing.
