Only two free BGs?

    I'm not being fussy, but wasn't this meant to be 4 per week? (bug?) :)

    Doesn't help that both the free ones are Ironfist. Not much variety.

    You will be able to unlock more of the BGs by completing various tasks such as faction walkthroughs and playing other games. You also unlock on by going through the tutorial.

    Yes, but I mean they stated that 4 would be free in rotation. I am curious if the fact that it's not is a bug or intended.

    Plus having both the free BGs as Ironfist lacks variety. Maybe if it is actually just two, it should make sure they are separate factions?

    I currently have 3 unlocked o_o

    I don't really remember doing anything special to get the third though

    I think the third is based on the faction you chose on transfer. But that one does not have the Star representing it as a free BG.

    Ahh, then my original question remains. Is 2 instead of 4 intentional?

    We established one is from the tutorial. I have three. but only two are marked as "free" by the Star icon.

    I feel I am just repeating myself a lot.

    Ok, short version:

    DOG said "Four BGs will be free in rotation each week".

    We only have two marked with Stars as free BGs.

    Intended or not?

    If it helps at all, I do understand your concern.

    So, there are only two public decks that are freely available in the rotation right now. I did say 4, but let me give you my thinking and we can go from there.

    At first I made 16 public decks. Rotating out 4 new ones each week means it would take a month to go through all of them for free!

    However I made the walkthroughs award 8, and including those decks in the "free rotation" seemed kinda cheezy, so that means I had only 8 to choose from.
    I wanted to give a deck out from the tutorial, meaning I only had 7 to chose from, which felt odd. So I added a new public deck just for that (The Guardians is actually a copy of theme deck from SOE, which players said they liked).

    If there are 8 public decks to choose from, if every week we rotate between 4 --- then it would feel more like a 'toggle' than a rotation. Not to mention the public decks are currently only 1k gold, making them very easy to get. I lowered the rotation down to 2 really just to give players some incentive to unlock them.

    So, intended! I think we could do four, but I think we would need to have more public decks first.

    So what you're saying is that we should start constructing public decks on faction forums so there can be 3 or 4 public decks a week right? :p

    I just completed the tutorial, and it lists 4 battlegroups in purple (I am guessing this means they are free) - but TWO of them are Guardians of the Sarnghaver!
