We've just updated the card icons with the upcoming legacy mode changes, so players can better prepare for the upcoming set rotation. Cards with the C icon belong to the legacy set, and will not be available for ranked play after July 21st. With only two months left before the expansion we decided to test out some new balancing numbers on legacy card packs! Drop rates for quest and free packs have been greatly increased. The Shop now only has one standard Card Pack, available in several bundle sizes. Several upgrades have been made to the card drop algorithms:
- Legendary cards in the new Card Pack drop 8x as often as they did in Black Market Boosters! Players can expect to find a Legendary every 10 packs or so.
- Packs now drop a more even distribution of faction cards.
- Store purchases now include an algorithm that prevents very unlucky drop rates. For example, players who purchase a Mega Pack will be guaranteed at least 1 legendary if their luck is exceptionally bad.
- The drop rate of rainbow cards, which are a cosmetic-only upgrade, has been greatly increased.
One small note is that with this change, Age of Dragons cards will no longer drop in the standard shop Card Pack. Players will want to purchase Age of Dragons boosters if they are looking for those cards. Age of Dragons boosters are still exactly the same as they always have been, and have not changed at all with this update.
We hope everyone enjoys this update and has a lot of fun opening packs!
