Everyone gets a free copy of C'thun, right? So when we all open that first pack containing a guaranteed legendary from Whispers of the Old Gods, will our pity timers reset? That kind of sucks for those who have gone a while without opening a Legendary. Not a huge deal, but something I was wondering about. And if we knew ahead of time it was the case, those hoping to optimize their legendary acquisition could open non-WOG packs at release until they open a legendary before opening their C'thun pack, so they don't unnecessarily lengthen their next pity timer.
Maybe they can analyze the Innkeeper bulk data afterwards and find out the answer.
Since it drop in the first WoG-Pack the pity-timer will not likely be affected. Also since it is a Promotion-Legendary, it should not be affected at all, since as i know Old Murk-Eye does not affect the pity-timer too.
I don't think C'thun will come in a pack it will propably be a reward that pop ups when you login, kinda like Liadrin and other rewards work. So i say it will not reset the pity timer.
I guess that's possible. I took Blizzard's statement at face value: "C’Thun is especially tickled to lend you its aid: a Legendary C’Thun card and two Beckoner of Evil cards lie waiting to add the unutterable awesomeness of the Old Gods to your collection. Just open your first Old Gods card pack to collect these questionable new allies."

I love a quickly-answered question. Hooray for individual per-set pity timers!
