Curious New Bundle on Store - Dynamic Bundle Offer, Different For Everyone
Blizzard did something curious today, by putting up a new Bundle on the ingame and online store. That's not that unusual of course, but for the first time it seems people are not getting the same bundle offered. Some people are getting a 35 pack Bundle with 2 Legendaries from Madness at the Darkmoon Faire for 30 dollars or euros, some people are getting a Bundle with only 20 packs and 2 Legendaries for 20 dollars or euros. There's also reports about people getting 25 packs and only 1 legendary and even people getting a Bundle for Wild packs!
Blizzard's only reaction to this so far has been a Reddit comment:
Quote from BlizzardHi there! We’re testing some new types of offers in our shop, which will cause some users to see different offers. This is intended! Be sure to check the in-game shop and the web shop to see any offers available to you.
What this means for the future of Bundles and the equality in offers remains to be seen, but for now it will at least be interesting to know which offer people got, so, if you can and want, let us know in the comments!
would be nice if the bundle was usefull. i can buy 20 dmf pack +2 legendaries.
or i dont and still have every card from set non golden 2 copies.
$10 bucks, 10 packs 1 legendary
free rogue legendary
1x warrior legendary
1x golden priest legendary
all which I wont use in any decks at the moment... still nice though
20 packs and 2 legendaries for 42.99 BGN which is 26.80 USD or 21.89 EUR for Bulgaria, fokin rip off...
Recording for posterity:
35 DMF and 2 Leg
One offer is: 35 Darkmoon Fair Packs and 2 legendary cards for $35.00
The other offer is 20 Darkmoon Fair Packs and 2 legendary cards for $20.00
Which will sell more?
20$ bundle seems to be better value because extra 15$ only gives 15 more packs and no legendaries
I agree with Sami. (Edited: But too bad I got the 35 dollar one -_-)
Well if you haven't bought darkmoon cards yet, then the 20 dollar one is probably guaranteed 3 legendaries total.
Same for me, $40 AUD for the same bundle, yet I have all of the cards too
Its understandable... I mean if someone is missing 5 epics and 2 legendaries from the set, it would be kinda pointless to offer them 50 packs + 3 legendaries bundle. Because it would be essentially "overpurchase" and nobody wants to spend real money to buy dust (which is utterly useless due to the abysmal exchange rate for dust). So that person will probably be offered only 20 packs + 1 legendary bundle, because thats the most reasonable bundle for them to buy considering the amount of cards they are missing...
Yo dawg, we heard you like RNG
weird marketing strategy. it makes me not want to buy my bundle since I see much better bundles that got offered to other people tho..
BUT on the other hand, it maybe makes other (lucky?) people want to buy their bundles since they get better deals than usual.
you know, maybe they knew that people would post their offers; and the people who got better bundles are probably ones that have better chances of buying stuff based on their past purchases.
so I am gonna ask people this: if you got offered a good deal, did you spend money on the game? recently?
great, how to scam people 101
create random offers
Hearthstone: where even the monetization system is randomly generated
I have 40 packs 3 legendaries for £25....very weird
I have the 20 packs 2 legendary for 20 €
Well to me it's not THAT bad, but aren't they releasing a new bundle with skins soon? This might be the test round for adjusting the price of the bundle, but I'm not going to buy both so... Seems like bad timing really
10 Darkmoon packs, 1 Darkmoon legendary, $9.99 (US)
What wild packs are people being offered?
My bundle is 5 each of Kobolds, KotFT, Un'Goro, Mean Streets, and WotOG + 1 Darkmoon legendary for $20 US.
Wow I only play Wild. I wish I got that
