I assumed GGG would have had the foresight to not allow multiples of particular microtransactions.

What am I meant to do with 13 Stormcloud Arctic Armours and multiple of the same portal effect? I just want a body armour...not 2 helms 2 boots and 2 gloves.

I shouldn't have to spend over 1500 points to get a single body armour.

Feeling pretty ripped off at the moment.


Posts like this kill me.

If you want a dedicated purchase of the armor, buy it when it goes on sale in February. If you cannot handle gambling, don't.

GGG has been clear that you get a random MTX from these boxes. If you could not duplicate then you would buy one for every possible mtx, get them all, and GGG would lose serious cash. The Lynx will probably be 250 GGGold, just like the Lightning Bat and the Infernal Fox. Getting that for a guaranteed 15 points is ridiculous. Expecting to get it for 15 points is delusional.

You are guaranteed to not get an MTX worth less than your 15 points. You are guaranteed to get a winter-themed MTX. Those are the only two guarantees involved in this deal.

sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.

WTB mtx stash organizer, jfc what a mess it is now.

The Body Armor is a lie
I guess this is a new low for me but here it is:

10 boxes, hoping for a piece of gear or pet, got none :(

1 x Arctic Armour
2 x Northern Lights (why can't I stack these? stack max is 100 it says)
3 x Snow hideout effect
4 x Arctic Ice Nova FX
150 points down the drain, I learned my lesson.
No more MTX boxes for me this round, better luck next time :)

All u guys and girls, good luck with your boxes!

Why not something like Dota 2 system where you are guaranteed to get some set if you roll enough times ... ?

Arcana set 1/5 chance, after 4 failures, fifth is guaranteed.

Not gonna waste more than 45 points just so i can have 30 arctic lunas and 40 snow decorations.

Each MTX should have equal chance to roll.

And yet again ggg is confronted with a wall of hate. It is a gamble. You gamble on your own risk. Gambling can be rewarding, but there is no guarantee to get your desired item like you are used to.

The only reason why its so seducing is the possibility to
-obtain mtx earlier than other players
-get some exclusive mtx
-get a mtx cheaper with 15 points which can be up to 250 points worth

So please calm down and don’t give ggg shit for your actions. Its kinda like the “I died its your fault” mentality.

I am glad people spent their points to support ggg and I will too this afternoon, but in a calm matter. One box one opening and so on like on st patricks day and those infernal theme gamble packs.

Have a nice day everyone.

Whan you roll Dice you have equally 1/6 chance to roll anything. Here you have
50% to roll some crap shit
30% to roll less crap shit
15% to roll Pet/Portal Effect
4% to roll valuable MTX
1% to roll Armour...

How is that Gamble again ?

You simplified it way too hard. A simple dice roll example wont suffice here. It is more like roulette. But whatever example you pick, my post still stands untouched. It is a gamble. This thread start to make me angry because people just jump on the negative train just to be a part of it. Did you spend points already? Did you realized most of the mtx can be bought later?

This Mystery Box introduces many new microtransactions and contains some that are exclusive to the holiday season, including theNorthern Light Effect (stack of 10), the Ice Crystal Hideout Decoration (5 variations you can select between) and the Snow Hideout decoration.

The other mtx can be bought later. People cant read. They put everything on black but red is rolled. Now they rage. I am the casino bouncer. I am the DANGER.

"Random" doesn't necessarily mean "evenly distributed". Results can be weighted and it's still random.
