What is your opinion on it? 1 Legendary, 1 Exotic, 2 Rares, 4 Uncommons and 4 Commons for 8k gold. Worth or nah?
I think so. You spend 4490 more gold than the normal Extended Pack, but you get a guaranteed Legendary and Exotic for freezies. As well as having a much better rare/uncommon to common ratio. The only downside I see is that it doesn't have a token, but whatever. I'm only getting one, because I plan on getting a crap ton of packs when the PS4 launch comes.
These are way better than the new-style packs. Seriously, their value is almost equivalent to a whole box.
The new packs in the Pack Preview are 1000g for a rare with chance to be upgraded to an exotic or legendary. The holiday packs give 1 legendary, 1 exotic, and 2 rares. So that's a 4000g value in terms of new pack prices, without the RNG chance upgrade. Basically you'd be paying 4000g for a guaranteed exotic and legendary. Commons and uncommons aren't worth as much, so I've just assumed their gold value is close to zero.
I can now confirm that these packs are amazing. Don't tell anyone, but they forgot to remove the RNG portion from the Rares. I just 3 exotics.
Of course, you know what would be really cool? Getting stuff I want in a pack! I feel like the packs hate me.
Not for me it doesn't. I haven't been able to access my PoxBox account for two years, I've sent in countless messages and password resets. Nothin'. All I've got is Forge man, and I'll be poxxed if I haven't learned to be at least affectionate towards it.
I think it's worth it for 8k gold. I bought one and received 1 leg, 2 exo and 1 rare (plus u/c). Leg: Jellebrium Extispicer Exo: Swamp Wisp and Experimental Warspirit Yeah, definitely worth 8k to me!
