So with the new No legendary rules coming up in about 1.5 month, assuming the next expansion will be mid August, I thought people would save on packs, to wait until then to open to avoid duplicate legendary. However, so far, most of my friends just open pack right away, doesn't matter which set, Classic pack from Tavern Brawl or Ungoro, even though they have had some legendaries from the sets.
Personally, I would like to save all those packs that I earned until the next expansion, or may be I'm missing something here. What do you guys do, open or save the packs?
Strange that overwatch devs says their lootboxes are created when purchased not when opened. But we have confirmation that it is not the case in hs right ?

Yeah, in HS, cards are created the open we open packs, not when we purchase the pack.

Actually, when they had to do a rollback in China and refunded packs to people who had opened them in the period affected, we saw that rarity distributions in packs were determined on purchase, but the individual cards were determined upon opening. This means if you have a pack that would contain a legendary sitting unopened in your account, and open it after the patch goes live, you'll still get a legendary but it will be guaranteed under the new rules to be one you don't have.

i know, that you can't wait to open them right now, but be patient - think about the case, if you get a duplicate (especially if you have many of them in a current set); you'll have better chances to open a wanted legendary with the start of the new expansion than now, because the already owned ones will be excluded
So, for most people, I would agree with the 'save your packs' concept. There may be exceptions, though, I'm not sure. LIke, with me, I have all but about 4 Classic legendaries. But I collect Gold cards and most of those gold legendaries I have were crafted.
So, if I wont ever open a gold legendary after I have all the non-gold, shouldn't I open all I can now hoping to get more gold ones first?
Or, is it just that once I get those last 4 non-golds, then it will only give me gold one that I dont have?
Or, will it just start dropping in the same random way it does now when I have all the non golds (meaning, I will go back to getting mostly non gold dups legends, and only getting a gold legendary once in a bazillion packs)? Anyone clear on this?
For me personally I am opening anyways. I have opened 10 of every expansion out right now so that doesn't matter. I also don't have a shit ton of legendaries so not two worried about duplicates.
Great, this thread made me feel worse for getting drunk, having some winnings in gambling and spending $10 for 9 Un'Goro packs -- which gives me a second Pally quest card along with useless-ass Ozruk. Two supernova special effects wasted on disappointment, right there.
/ozruk would be worth it if he screamed "My body" when you dust his card

You could always just play his song when you DE him.
So pretty much everybody is on the same notes to save the packs more than to open them right away. With the double gold, it is even more incentives to get more packs and wait for the right time to open them all at once. So Excited!!
I'm opening, but i have all the legendaries already. If i didn't have them, i would save and open them when new expansion goes live. It's so much better value to get legendary that you don't have, so if i were you, i would save them.
Save them if your collection is already good for the set. I still sporadically buy WOTG packs for my pity timer (with gold). Made the mistake of opening one last night to get a duplicate legendary (50% chance). Should have saved it.
Save. I'm not opening new packs anyway, except the Tavern Brawl packs. I should have saved my TB pack last week, and instead opened it, and of course got a duplicate legendary (Deathwing).

Personally, I've been saving up for the next expansion anyway.
Save, no question. A friend opened a duplicate Ysera from his Brawl pack and felt dumb for not waiting. Wait for new rules.

besides, you have to wait only 4 weeks (or 5)

I don't get legendaries until I'm at about 35+ on my pity timer anyways, so I'll probably just open them.

I don't have any un'goro legendary anyway so i'll keep openning the packs till i get one.
