EDIT: Added Clarification Tweet!
The Golden Classic Bundle - Containing 6 Golden Classic Packs
Blizzard just released a new Golden Classic Bundle. According to a tweet by Celestalon these packs do NOT have a pity timer, correcting an earlier tweet that they did have one.
Summary:
- Contains 6 Golden Classic card packs.
- Can only be redeemed once per account.
- Available through May 26, 2020.
- Can be bought in-game or on the store for $15/15€.
Quote from CelestalonUpdate: I was wrong, apologies. Golden packs are so rare, with no expectation to get enough of them to hit any pity timers, that we made them completely independent rolls, every time.
Quote from BlizzardLevel up the shine and shimmer of your Collection with the new Golden Classic Bundle, containing 6 Classic card packs filled with golden cards!
Do the golden packs give a guaranteed legendary in the first 10?
Since I’ve already opened a few Golden packs from promos, and haven’t opened the new priest legendary, I’m tempted...
No, I just bought the pack and have now opened 12 golden packs including the older ones - no legendary
thanks for the advice. I think I have to skip it then - this is pretty much buying dust as so much of the classic set is unplayable now. I'd prob have done it for a guaranteed golden Natalie Seline
Sorry mate. Forgive me but I just had to post this because of your comment PepeHands.
And I still have 5 golden packs left. I dare not open them monkaGIGA.
$15 ahahah jesus christ Blizzard.
This is where greed (Being to cheap) is going to cost them a lot of sales, all they had to do was make these Ashes of Outland packs and they probably would have quadrupled their sales.
I would even add "playable" legendaries or epics at that.
Buy this buy there but the game is boring. Fix the game, then release products.
Fun little gamble but 5 bad Rares and 1 worse Epic make me a big loser at this RNG wheel spin. XD
Only got 2 playable commons with a dread corsair and leper gnome but I don't even play aggro.
2100 dust total...i think
Got 2 legendaries, (Black knight and Jaraxxus) and 3 epics, so I'm very pleased to be a pigeon :)
This is aimed at Noobs that just joined during the Demon Hunter momentum were having at the moment
Only worth it if you're lucky, so I'll pass :D
Don't know why people downvote you... It's not really a good value for the money. You have to be lucky enough to hit a legendary or multiple epics.
I usually buy every bundle: I only skipped the Mage one I believe. This one I'm easily pass too.
1) because I have already an almost full classic set (missing 12 epics)
2) I don't care about golden cards, so if I do it only for dust, is not good value money/dust. ~2500 dust for 15 euro? So what, 1.5 legendary? Thanks, no
Too expensive, especially for long-time players. If it had a guaranteed legendary, it could have been in consideration at least, but like this - not worth it.
I thought it was 1 pack with all legendaries for $15 at first and I was still debating whether or not that was even worth it.
Seems a bit expensive to be honest. Pretty depending on your luck :)
I think that's the point. It's not a value buy but there for the whales seeking premiums or if you are just feeling lucky and want to take a gamble.
At least you get the actual cards though. Other CCGs, especially MTG:Arena, do a great job of separating players from their money for nothing but premium card art (the art is pretty great though, not just the same reused gold border and minor animations).
I'm surprised Blizzard hasn't tried to do more bundles like this TBH. 'Pump cosmetics' is all the rage in gaming monetization strategy.
Yeah this is realy expensive. Just like the mage only card packs.
