Hearthpwn

My notes:

Classic: Golden gruul, first card pack

Old gods: Xaril, fourth card pack

Gadgetzan: Nuckles, third card pack

Un'goro: Ozruk, tenth card pack.

This doesn't look like pure luck. That's too much of a coincidence.

My inital results:

• Goblins cs Gnomes (purchased as 15 packs from their website) - Iron Juggernaut  it the 8th pack.
• Grand Tournament (purchased as 15 packs from their website) - The Mistcaller in the 3rd pack
• Classic - purchased as 10 packs though Gold - The Black Knight if the first pack, GOLDEN Archmage Antonidas on the 2nd pack
• Mean Streets - purchased as 10 packs though gold - Finja, the Flying Star in the 8th pack
• Old Gods - purchased as 10 packs though gold - Soggoth the Slitherer the in the 8th pack
• Ungoro - purchased as 10 packs though gold - Ozruk in the 3th pack.

Going with my luck I decided to blow my last 1500 gold across packs from Ungoro and Classic, and those 15 packs ended up with another 3 legendaries: Alexstrasza, Pyros & Hemet, Jungle Hunter

Seeing if I could continue this insane run of drops I purchased another 40 classic packs using money. Unfortunately the drop rates seemed to go to normal, with only Leeroy Jenkins as my legendary.

On a plus side, after buying 70 packs with money and 40 packs with gold I now have more than 8000 dust from disenchanting duplicates and gold cards only.

I was an f2p BUT this bug/intentional by Blizzard made me buy 9 packs of cards with CASH!

So if this was an intentional marketing ploy, well it worked on me.

Last opened 7 hours ago. All within the 1st 10 packs. Can't remember exact occurence.

Classic - [card]Archmage Antonidas[/card]

MSOG - [card]Inkmaster Solia[/card]

WOTG - [card]Mukla, Tyrant of the Vale[/card]

Un'goro - [card]Kalimos, Primal Lord[/card]

Seriously last friday I got a Madam Goya and Fandral off my first pack of each set. Only 200 gold spent. Just got 2 ungoro packs and got a GOLDEN King Mosh. Can't wait to try the other sets. I am hoping the friday pulls were just luck since it was before there announcement. Plus with Fandral and the Old god packs I was super super close to pity.

Golden legendaries do NOT count towards any legendary timer.  If you are meant to get a legendary in 10 packs then get a golden legendary first you are STILL going to get another regular legendary.  

So keep going until you see a normal legendary.

Sidenote about the ones you didn't see a legendary after 10 packs... ugg... I KNOW I received mine in the Classic set after 13 packs .. but I'm not sure I feel right asking you guys to buy a mass more packs just to check.

I'll put it this way: if you are generally seeing good results but one of your packs went past 10, buy more.. one at a time, because you'll see it soon.  If you haven't see anything at all.. not sure, keep your ears open, it might be a bug or who knows..  

 This didn't work for me. I got legs in all 4 packs. The first one being a classic golden leg (the beast) so  I went and open 20 more classic packs (bought) and I didn't receive a non golden leg, I'm still missing 3 classic legendaries.

So just wanted to point out that maybe golden legendaries do count for this "new" or bugged pity timer.

 

 

is this still working?
does "the better droprate" works also after i found the first legedary of the set?

Wouldnt say the odds got upped, opened 40 MSOG packs and the outcome is only slightly better than average, except the extra guaranteed legendary.

Quote from EriksVil >>

 As I understood, it was supposed to be that you get legendary in first 10 packs of each set that you haven't opened packs before. But this is not the case as shown by a lot of examples here. Also for some it worked more than once on the same packs.

Quote from evenpoint >>

We are all so „blind“ because the post said it only works if you have never opened a pack of the set before.

Quote from mariote2000 >>

 You are the blind one, they are giving guaranteed legendary in new sets from which you didn't open any packs (so it was going to start with frozen throne most likely), i have opened packs from classic, un'goro, mean streets, whispers... and still got a legendary within the first 10 packs

Quote from Ilyanthiel >>

 Dear ghost driver,

Don't worry about us, we're just a bunch of blind people going the wrong way...

Quote from Unilythe >>

Cute. The irony being that you are the one who apparently can't read, rather than we. Look at how dumb you are.

Quote from azaphal >>

 They said it wouldn't apply to people who have previously bought at least one pack of the set, which is the case of most of the people asking if there's a bug (myself included, I sure got my 4 legendaries in the first 10 packs, while I had previously bought/opened many of these packs).

I have confirmation and a counter example:

My account: All of my pity timers were completely new, i.e. I would need 35+ packs to hit them. I got a legendary within 10 packs for all expansions and classic buying one at a time for 100 gold. Averaged 1 legendary per 7 packs. Since it was working so well I ended up buying 7 TGT and GvG (neither of these should have worked for me either as I had packs opened in both previously) and yep, legendary for each.

My brother's account: 11 Un'goro no legendary. Didn't try the others after this.

All were opened on pc (not mobile). I'm trying to figure out any other differences. He was gone and hadn't been playing, but I would log on the last few weeks and do the some quests and tavern brawls for him.

I have read on reddit (do not have the link) that the hypothesis is that it work for people who have not opened any packs since the 8.4 patch. It is my case got legendaries in all expansions including gvg. For those afraid it would mess with golden appearance rates, three of my legendaries were golden

After 10 un'goro packs=1 lyra the sunshard

Be careful relying on the bug for an auto legendary in 10 packs. It worked for me...sorta...I think it was more a coincidence for me to be honest.

WotOG - 8 packs opened - Chogall 

MSoG - 4 packs opened - Hobart Grapplehammer 

I opened these two sets first and was excited as it appeared the bug worked. So I continued to try this for Ungoro and Classic sets. I had opened an Ungoro legendary with both free packs from the free Arena runs and then it had been 6 packs since I opened a legendary in Classic. I figured the timer reset and I was good to get another one in both.

Ungoro - 17 packs opened - No legendaries

Classic - 12 packs opened - No legendaries 

If you're pretty much a F2P player like myself I'd hold onto the gold for the next expansion. I decided to burn the gold on trying this out since I so far haven't really dug KoT so I'll likely just buy the pre-order and call it a day with the extra dust I have stocked up. I will say there was definitely a higher drop rate of epics - averaging roughly 1 in 3 packs.

Work for me

Ungoro - King Mosha 3rd pack

Classic - Tinkmaster Overspark 2nd pack

Gadgetzan - Wrathion 10st pack

Old Gods - Deathwing, Dragonlord 10st pack

And a bunch of epics, golden, etc... more than average i think

So..4 legendaries in 25 packs...  It's good enough i think

Opened and found today:
9 classic -->  Gromash

6 ungoro --> Pyros

1 msog --> White Eyes

2 wog --> Deathwing

So nice :)

Quote from Marinolix >>

After opening 3 legendaryes in about 15 packs i spend all my gold (bec im retarded) on more packs and i opened fucking 44 packs and didnt get legendary are you seriouss ??? You can see after opening yshaarj i had a lot of gold and packs, and yea i spend it all on packs and opened 44 more packs and still no legendary omgg they didnt fixed the pity fucking timer : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ1Ja7v63KU&t=82s

This is my fucking 44. pack, still no legendary -.- https://gyazo.com/7698d6b09d38df9706462be12677a3bc

 

I just got my legendary from each Standard set and stopped. 

Every legendary was within 8 packs for me. Brilliant. Like I've been trying to tell people - it's not a bug. They've just reset the timers for everyone, including sets you've already opened. 

you can go 44 pack-s without legenaries since pity timer is coded to give legenary on 40-th pack of each set. So if you open 40 classic packs you must get at least one legenary but if you open 20 ungoro packs and 20 classic packs you are not guaraneed to get legenary. you need 20 more packs ungoro of bad luck to bee guaranteed legendary in ungoro a 20 packs of bad luck to be guaranteed legenary on classic.

Is this "higher drop rate" or "bug" going to be applied to KotFT too?

 Given the stats from others, I don't think so.  They never did before and it's rather insane for so many to get doubled up legendaires if it were the case.  

Note that there are about 20% of reporters on reddit that this seems to be not working on either with one set or with any set.  Myself I've had to go beyond 10 to get a legendary in the classic set.  I'm guessing that your classic set might be among the ones that it's not working on and the golden leg was just..well,..like the others, a lucky break.

It's why I'm saying to others to try it but know there IS a risk that it may not work. It's working for most but not so much for others.
