Is there any guarantee these will return next Winter, with all said mtx?

Sorry to say but this feels like an incredible money grab.
I would rather buy the armor set or exclusive items for Winter Separately than gamble on something I cannot giveaway to other players.

What's in the Winter Mystery Boxes?

This Mystery Box introduces many new microtransactions and contains some that are exclusive to the holiday season, including the Northern Light Effect (stack of 10), the Ice Crystal Hideout Decoration (5 variations you can select between) and the Snow Hideout decoration. In addition to these exclusive microtransactions (which can only be obtained from this box or future holiday events), we've also introduced many new microtransactions that we'll be adding to the store a month after the box has gone off sale. These include the Arctic Lynx Pet, Wolf Pet and pieces of the new Arctic Armour Set! Here are videos of its Body Armour, Helmet, Boots and Gloves.


No guarantees, but it sounds like they intend to make this a recurring winter theme-based money grab mystery box sale.

Whether it actually will recur is anyone's guess; I expect it depends upon how much money they get out of it, and/or how well-received the boxes are. I will go so far as to say that their experience with the Infernal boxes doesn't seem to have deterred them from doing another mystery box, so I'm assuming The Powers That Be have decided it was worth the time and trouble... this time around, anyway.

140 boxes. 2100 points:



All I wanted was a Winter armour set. $210 later and I've got 1/2 of a set.

That's the last of the points I'll ever buy. No more Supporter Packs for me.

Edit For some reason several MTXs aren't showing up. There's more useless crap. Like a total of 5 portal effects even though you only need one to change every character's effect.

They have done this before and its a good idea on their part.
The armour mtx will be released a month from now they way they did with infernal armour set.

It's just a way for them to get the supported pack supporters do dump their point balances.

It makes sense from a business standpoint.

If you really want the armour set just wait for it to be released.

I just like to gamble and want it now to show off even though I wouldn't wear it after a day.

Never bothered with the previous mystery boxes, and will continue to do so. I can wait for those mtx later on.


In the mean time, anyone (who really went on a shopping spree on those mystery boxes) want to gift me a copy (one of each I meant) of those many winter pets you have as a Christmas present, please. ;)
Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game.
