The Raven Bundle Arrives - 15 Packs, Half Price
A new bundle has been added to Battle.net's shop which features 15 packs at a nice discount. The Raven Bundle contains the following packs.
- 5 Witchwood Packs
- 5 Boomsday Project Packs
- 5 Rastakhan's Rumble Packs
It will be available until May 2, so if you're interested in picking up some cards you may be missing, or some dust to craft new decks, this is a pretty awesome deal.
You can buy the packs here for $10 USD.
I want it for sure. I ended up buying 7 rasta packs because I didn't see this. lucky I have a week to buy it.
Very happy with this bundle! Used the US Store trick to get it for £8, crazy bargain compared to the usual pack price.
Also got a legendary in my first pack! It was Dr. Morrigan though, sadtimes :'(
I got her as my free gold in boomsday :(
my 2nd free gold was whizbang though. although I'm not interested, I understand it's a sought after card.
The bundle grab is limited to one per account.
Thank you, thought so.
Buying these packs is silly.
The pity timer averages on 20 packs for a legendary. If you're like me and you stop buying packs when you get a legendary, getting 5 packs for an expansion offers a very small chance of getting even one.
The pity timer is 40 packs, 20 is just the average with no pity timer at all.
Are you actually buying packs one at a time until you get a legendary? I daresay most people don't.
That said, even if I wasn't F2P I probably wouldn't buy this bundle.
how do you get legendaries except opening packs one at a time?
You didn't get him I guess. If you F2P player and still want some new packs once expansion arrives, there always a moment when you stop buying packs and start saving your gold for next expansion. Im pretty sure he meant that he stops buying packs at some point once he opens another legendary.
I do the same. After every legendary I think "Am I ready to open another 40 packs of this expansion?". If not, I stop and save gold. Its works pretty good btw. You always have few new legendaries, some epics and most of rare/commons at the first day. So you can try something at the spot
Are legendaries really the only thing you care about?
Even if that's the case, you can spend a few thousand gold along with the cash for this bundle and still expect a legendary per set.
I actually got 2 legendaries (Talanji and Akali) when I opened my RR packs from the bundle, and I know I wasn't very far into the pity timer.
So no, it's not silly if you are missing cards from those sets, or even if you just want some dust.
I never do it this way. mostly because as long as you buy 80-100 packs per expansion you don't need to save anything as 4 months are enough. I usually buy my packs all at once simply because before you get to 20 packs the pity timer doesn't kick in and your chance of getting a legendary are 100% the same for the first and the last pack.
After 50-60 packs the only reason to open more packs of certain expansion except occasional epics and dust is legendaries. Coz you already have almost all common/rare cards and no way you will open epic you need. So yeah, you can say so. At some point legendaries become the only thing I care about.
Of course you have chance to get it in every pack. You have chance to get 5 legendaries in one pack. But your chances for it are close to 0.
That's just not true. Its simple math. According to this at average you have 1 leg in 20 packs. So lets say its 5% (0.05) chance to open legendary in every pack expect for 40th (where it suddenly become 100%). So we have up to 39 independent Bernoulli experiments. So after few calculations we have:
5% chance to get it in first pack
9.5% chance to get it in first 2 packs
14,3% chance to get it in first 3 packs
22.6% chance to get it in first 5 packs
40% chance to get it in first 10 packs
64% chance to get it in first 20 packs
86% chance to get it in first 39 packs
Im pretty sure true chances are much lower since I got my last leg in exact 40th pack and I opened already something like 25packs and still didnt get it. Also I didnt consider chance for getting 2+ legendaries. But logic remains the same. Considering that after 50-60 packs buying packs without hope for legendary is pretty much waste of gold, you have to be ready to get all 40 packs. Because if you buying 1 pack, its 95% total waste of gold. buying 20 packs for example is 36% waste. Which is already better
If you've only opened 50 or 60 packs, you are missing a lot of cards, and the fact remains that you are never going to get them unless you spend some cash or gold. Dust doesn't grow on trees.
So it makes sense to grab some cheap dust when it's offered. Even if you don't get lucky, you'll be that much closer to crafting your next legendary. At 100 dust per pack on average, 15 packs will get you most of the way there.
Thank you for the tip ;)
edit : doesn't work with Blizzard Balance :'(
got most stuff from witchwood and rastakan..
missing mostly boomsday legendaries not gonna buy it, waiting for the solo adventure.
I will be getting this bundle in next day or two, but just wanted to check its one per account, or can you get multiple bundles?
I have every card in all those sets. Might grab it for the dust.
Shut up an take my money
sounds like a decent deal for cards that'll be still valid for 11 months
