After buying about 50 packs just getting thrice the Gloves and x-times the same stuff?? What the heck?...Extremely lousy odds to get a full set if you ask me...Questionable policy, just like the last time with this gamble thing. Won't buy another gamble pack ever, until GGG guarantees, that the same armour set items won't be given multiple times. Don't want to imagine, how many packs you need to buy to get a full exclusive armour set...Maybe I should ask Warren Buffett to lend me a few bucks.
Certainly feel ripped off... Last edited by DemonBloodbath#7401 on Dec 18, 2015, 6:48:56 PM

And the good thing is it's not even exclusive. It will be in store in a month.
GGG must understand that the laws of poe's rng cannot apply to real money. It's not ethical. After all as someone else noticed it's a game. I give it a 50% chance that buyers are also minors who get carried away by the need to show off in towns and parties. Just give the numbers about the chance to get an armor so people won't be mislead by the "random" tag. Cause it's not random at all,getting the armor feels like dropping a mjolner from what i see in the comments |

" Didn't the description say the armour set is exlusive to this box? Now you tell me this will be available in a month as a regular microtransaction? Even more reason to question this GGG policy then. |

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
Some effects are exclusive but the armor will be in store in a month. |

ITT people complaining about RNG.
I think the most ridiculous posts here are the "i wont buy this unless the you cant get duplicates anymore". The majority of items in the box are worth far more than the cost, losing 15 GGG points on a few duplicates really isnt that bad when you take into consideration that quite a few of these are well above a 15 point cost, many being worth over 100 points. If you want to complain about real scumbag box opening practices, please direct yourself to CS:GO and the new model theyve been doing for the past year with TF2 crates. The chances of you getting anything of value in those games are soo abyssmal you need to spend hundreds upon hundreds of dollars to even have the chance of breaking even. Would you rather pay 15 GGG points or spend $2.50 on a key for one of those games knowing that the chance of you getting something of equal value of the key you spent is practically non-existent ? I seriously wonder how many people here complaining have ever done any unboxing in other games, it doesnt seem like many since soo many people are complaining and calling GGG "unethical" and other names because they got some bad RNG. Harvest sucks! But look at my decked out gear two weeks in!

" Actually is said 'The boxes also include new and exclusive microtransactions...' Furthermore, underneath the youtube video in the OP, there was a paragraph that contained the following: '...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!' You did not read as much as you should have before diving into this headfirst. That is not GGG's fault at all. There is nothing at all to question about it; the whole thing is self-explanatory and getting a full set of armour was never promised, no matter how many boxes you purchased. I seriously don't understand this kind of thinking... Last edited by GoatEatingToilet#3170 on Dec 18, 2015, 11:55:23 PM

" But I'm playing poe, not other games So I complain about it If I'd played other games I'd complain about them and their systems (which are anyway different since you can sell for real money and trade that boxes) |

" Those who tend to spend cash on MTX most likely already have all the old effects they want. They are getting a "virtual" duplicate on the first appearance. In case you get expensive MTX you will never use, simply because you don't like it, the actual value to you is zero, no matter if it normally would sell for 280+ points. Promised myself not to post here anymore, but those "where is the problem?" posts.. Last edited by Schiriki#7637 on Dec 19, 2015, 5:09:49 AM

Just set yourself a goal (like completing an act or something alike) and just get one box every time u reach this preset goal.
I don't see the fun in getting a stack of 50 boxes and opening them at once, be patient and stick to your goal's and then it actually is fun, perhaps it pleases RNGesuz? or it pisses him off :) Oh, and I've set myself a limit of 300 points max. so no more then 20 boxes for me. |
