On the day of Chapter 2...
-
They have released more than double the amount of players available in both TA chapters combined in buyable packs. 134 players in packs in the shop already and not even a month into the game.
-
I said it the other day. Last year, we needed roughly 260-300 cards to complete set collections. We need 280 to get the FIRST PACK this year. People who dont think thats a big deal are gonna be pissed when they realize they're gonna need to buy stubs just to get to the 2nd pack.
-
They were at 52 players in shop packs last year at this time. I think I counted right.
Edit: Actually, I think they were at 42 because I accidently counted the cards from the pre order WBC pack.

So we're just ignoring you can now get the Seoul and Spring Breakout packs/cards for free?
And that it's more likely than not that the rest of the packs will soon follow suit? -
Anyone have a list of who's in the spring breakout packs? I got all the ones you could earn but didn't buy any packs. Curious who's there...

My issue is the obvious direction they are going. They have more than tripled last years shop cards and this is only the beginning. The gap will only get larger as we move through the season. It's just unprecedented.

But you're assuming that we don't continue to see packs that have been released for a month or so come back as freebies hidden in maps, XP programs, etc? You think this'll be the only time this year we get an old pack?
You sure about that?!?

I didn't say that. I'm simply saying the amount of cards in packs already is insanely high. They have given 10 of the 134 away, I believe, in free packs. Do you think they will stop adding packs to the market? No, that's silly and I know you don't think that. So by the time they are at 268 in packs, we will get 20-30 maybe? At this rate season 1 will have almost 400 cards exclusive to packs. When in the past probably half of more of those cards would have been in programs.

I'll take the over. Way, way over. How much you wanna wager?
-
No wager needed, I hope you're right.
-
They got their employees posting on here and nobody else. Same handful of dudes posting arguing with all the negative posts, which is alot. Nobody does that but employees. Just ignore the game and let it die off. These dudes will be fired in no time.
-
I have no issue with Farris and he's been a regular for a long time. I can't say he's not an employee but I'm 99% certain he isn't. Lol

Spring Breakout - 7
Egg Hunt - 5
Season Awards - 14
Team Affinity (1-3) - 90
XP Path - 14
Free Cards - 3
Hidden Packs - 7
Ranked - 6
BR - 28
Events - 8Thats 182 cards that we can actually earn through programs/gameplay. 30 of those wont be released for a few more weeks. We're a month into the game and as of now, we have 152 cards for NMS people. Realistically, how many more do you think they're just gonna give away in the next 55 days? Are they gonna start dropping programs 3 times a week now out of the blue? Are they just gonna start giving us conquests with 5 hidden packs on a weekly basis? Ive already said it a handful of times here....we might barely get to the first pack in S1 collections just by playing...but if you want all 3 cards, theres no way to do it without stubs.

To be fair, NMS doesn’t mean “no stubs spent”. I already have 110 S1 cards collected without a single chapter 2 card yet. I’ve bought about 15 cheep cards, and I’m still sitting on about 120K stubs. If I cared to, there are still quite a bit more sheepish S1 cards I could buy.
All that said, I still agree with your assessment. I think getting to the first check point will be fine, but getting the other two will be a monumental task.

I have no problem with spending stubs. But when they drastically decreased the amount of stubs you can earn and people drive up the prices in the market, they're still banking on people buying them.

@Easy_Duhz_It_ theyve only really done that with the ta program and immediatly when that was released not a single player in those packs was over 10k anymore most being 3-4k I wouod rather a 5pack of regular packs !
