Discussion: Pox Nora Holiday 2017 Sale!

Won't his value drop though?

 

I don't see any trades up for him or any requests in the trading forum though. If I saw a trade up with someone offering a handful of other LEs or something I might be interested in trying to snag him for trade fodder.

 

Miniature action figures and ceramic figurines of the best runes from each faction anyone? I would buy that!

 

All 8 of those reskins are very rare and hard to find. 5 of those LE runes you cannot even buy from poxbox for cash because they have zero in stock. I'll trade for any of them (overbid in Legs/Exos or good bid in other LEs). Pm if interested. (Also looking for Outcast De'lim)

PS. If you are looking specifically for Red Minister, then poxbox cash store has 1 copy left. That way your odds of getting one increase from 1/8 to 1.

 

I'd be hugely surprised if people are still buying from 3rd party stores at a time like this.

There's no point getting cheaper runes if you no longer have a game to play them on.

 

I am! I buy the occasional rune from Poxbox to complete themed BGs. Can’t be bothered sharding as it takes so long.

There is a bunch of nice chaps playing regularly and chatting on discord. @MaruXV @Etherielin etc.

 

he's unfortunate enough to know we are there

actually i also use pbox almost only to get unforgeable runes that i can't trade. for forgeable ones, i just buy 5000gold decks and shard them

 

How accessible are the top end runes from forging?

 

I believe one can shard any non limited rune as long as it isn’t from the current expansion.

 

exactly, you can forge ANY rune from ANY expansion except last one(planar disturbance) . If you use your gold to buy 5000gold premade decks and then shard them , you get a lot of value and can forge a lot of stuff.

 

That makes things easy. Good move.

 

Oh yeah, it wasn't a comment on population, just that it seems surprising that people would be supporting 3rd party sites over pox with pox in its current state.

 

I have no way to support Pox. Believe me, I would be happy to just give them my money, as I do to support Board Game Geek. I have been saying that for many years now. I LOVE the game but hate the CCG aspect.

 

Well now we don't have a choice. PB will shut down soon. Rune forge is all that we have left.

 

its not that bad. with 1 week of 2 matches a day you can buy a 2000+ shards of stuff. doesnt seem taxing to me. For last expansion's runes, you need to trade.I mean, it is ok for DoGs to try to earn something, they are not an NGO

 

Ya I meant that now we have no other way to spend/obtain runes other than on in game Packs/forge. Good for the game I guess.

 

And here's the problem with those packs costing $20. I can spend $20 on a real CCG like MTG and have a decent chance of pulling something worth 3-figures. Or I can spend $20 on the Holiday reskin and pull 1 rune worth less than $15. How collectible are the cards when the latest limited, rare runes depreciate as soon as you buy them?

 

Perhaps somebody more knowledgeable than myself can shed light on why the MTG model works so much better than whatever Pox currently does.

 

Millions of people playing worldwide vs dozens. Probably the biggest reason, though there a hundreds of other factors.
