I will start off by saying that this isn’t intended to be a ranting topic, but just a bit of feedback.
Having recently played the first wing of the new solo content, I ended it thinking, “you know what this is pretty cool, even though I’m pretty busy the next few weeks and will likely only pick up the packs and run, for now, I can see myself playing through this later, £12.99 is a reasonable price, I’m missing quite a few fun looking epics, so sure I’ll support the game”.
Then I opened the 3 free packs and in the final 1, I got my 3rd copy of Plague of Murlocs. Right then in that moment I decided that I’m not going to bother, seeing as I’m in a fortunate spot where I have way more than enough dust to craft everything I want.
This doesn’t mean I wont spend in the future on up coming sets but I just wanted to share the fact that if I’d got literally any non-triplicate epic in those 3 packs, I would have bought the solo content.
Despite me constantly bringing up “no triplicate epics” in pricing topics, this is actually the first time where it has literally stopped me opening, my admittedly tightly sealed, wallet. So I figured I bring it up as a discussion point, to let them know “if you made this change, on this occasion, you would have got my money”. It’s quite possible that overall they’d lose money from making this change, so I fully respect them not wanting to do it and will continue to support the game with both my time/occasional £££ regardless.
I can see why that would put you off purchasing the Tombs of Terror Adventure. I was considering buying it myself yesterday until I remembered I was very unlucky with legendarys after purchasing the previous large bundle (was not lucky with the previous one either). Although I had used blizzard balance from World of Warcraft gold I am still reserved about using anymore gold for this game, nevermind real money. Besides I need the gold to keep playing Wow and tokens atm are over 200k ingame gold.
That my previous legendary was in the pack prior to those 3, definitely come into play. I did ok Legendary wise from Uldum. Didn’t hit any of the 3 I’m gona craft (Zephrys/Siamat/Shaman Quest) but have had fun messing around with DruidQ/WarriorQ/Octosari and got some ideas for the others. Having triples of scarlet webweaver/splitting axe/plague of murlocs on the other hand, is just annoying.
I understand your justification for not making the purchase if we were talking about some special offer for packs or something like that. However the cost is, as I see it at least, related with the content, not the card packs. Why is the content irrelevant in this discussion as far as your decision goes?
The reason why I’m asking this is that you based your decision solely on a specific issue with return from packs, which was kinda odd to me.
Honestly, I’m happy enough to just replay chapter 1 over and over when I get the rare urge to play solo stuff (or a daily I can complete there), so even though I would eventually play through it if I bought it, it really does have little to no value to me.
