Explaining the February Mammoth Card Pack Giveaway
There have been some questions about the recently announced pack giveaway so I figured it was a good idea to break it down for everyone.
- Each day you can only obtain one entry into the competition, which comes from your daily quest.
- We're not sure on the reset time. It's either going to be with daily resets or at 9 AM PST (12 PM EST, 5 PM CET).
- The event runs for 14 days, which means you can only have a maximum of 14 entries into the competition.
- A client patch ended up not being needed for the giveaway to go live. The Korean translated post failed us here.
- Yes, someone is actually going to end up winning 3000 Hearthstone packs.
- No, there's no way to divide those packs up with everyone who enters. SMH
My best advice to you: Try and login around the same time every day to complete your daily quest and you should be getting credit for every day. You may miss out on one day, but that's what we get when Blizzard doesn't give us an official time the reset takes place. Due to us not having an exact reset time, there won't be timers on our homepage for the event. We will, however, be putting out posts on our Twitter and Facebook accounts as reminders to login and complete daily quests - a task you should be doing anyway!
It's a random drawing, so exactly one "of us" will win the grand prize. Why is this hard to understand or believe?
Who here wants to bet the winner will end up being a big name streamer.
His tin foil hat is implying, that streamers are prefered over non-streamers to encourage people to invest more money.
I did some quick maffs on this and I am sure that no big streamer will win. Either someone from China will win (statistically most probable) or a friend/familymember of someone working at Blizzard will win this.
Btw, seen as it's max one submission per account per day, if somehow anyone "screws up" or gets a quest he cannot complete he could just complete a quest on another server
Not in my country x_x
Nor in my Brazil.
Wait! Brazil isn't in? Woah
So ... this means that you actually can't "collect" your dailies to do them all in one day in order to get the entries, right? I don't have the time to play every day. >_>
Never forget, Blizzard IS NOT PAYING THE TAXES ON THOSE PACKS. winner does and it's gonna be a lot.
This is the silliest thing I've ever read. Multiple times by multiple people. The game offers many ways to get free packs, this is just one of them. Why would there be taxes?
For the same reason it is not available in all Countries or States. This is a sweepstakes contest, there is going to be one grand prize winner drawn. In all other contests they have done, everyone who enters gets something. You didn't have to go through the hoops of filling out an affidavit to prove you were eligible, you do for this. If you are one of the winners, they will send you the affidavit, you have to fill it out or you don't get anything. It is all stated in the rules and regulations.
A big question: if I do not win anything, will I be able to alternatively buy the 30pack bundle or the chance to buy the bundle ends with the quest for packs event?
The one thing I'm trying to get my head around is how the 3000 packs prize works. Is it 1000 of each Mammoth pack, 3000 of a certain pack, a 3000-count wildcard the winner can use for any combination of packs, or what?
In the rules its listed as 100 "Mammoth Bundles" each of which contain 10 Un'goro, 10 KFT and 10 KnC packs. So you get 1000 packs of each expansion from Year of the Mammoth.
1000 kobold, 1000 frozen, 1000 ungoro. 1000 minutes to open them all.
Okay, that makes sense.
JUST COMPLETE THE QUEST!!! ALL WE CAN DO IS THIS
