Yup. I'm happy people get to use their trade in tickets for other stuff now, but I'm not participating this week.

That's mainly due to the fact I don't care for Fresh Threads & when FT PT. 1 happened, it was $14 for a pack that guaranteed one FT moment. Now it's still $19 (or $20 if using trade-in tickets) & a 20% chance you still receive nothing but base moments.

I do like the fact the odds were improved due to way less packs, so that was a step in the right direction reverting back to the old method, in which the gamble or risk was making the queue, not the pack itself.

Btw there’s stress tests today, no one seems to know what time but I would monitor the page

The elite packs tomorrow cost 25 trade tickets, if you already have a bunch of S3s to use for trade tickets I would recommend going for the elite. 1/3 chance at a rare is much better odds than previous packs. If you don’t have any trade tickets and would need to buy 25, probably not worth it I think?

One thing I will say about trade tickets, even though I dont care for them much. They need to adjust what each trade in is worth based on what is traded in.

Something with /1000 mint count should not be given one ticket like /60000. The same thing should go for common LE, rewards, rares or even Legends. If someone wants to trade in a more valuable moment, they should be rewarded with more tickets if they choose to do so.

Just a random thought.

Good reminder. They will usually tweet/post in discord when it goes live. Good Luck to everyone! I will be sitting out this week.

Here is the schedule for this week everyone:

Yepppp that will do!

700+ moments down to 500+ moments today. Fingers are tired.

rubendn · 03-09-2022, 01:25 PM

Nice hit on my first pack. Luka All-Star Team Lebron Rare.

You can only get one pack at a time so I'm back in the queue at around 10k.

pyrexswerve · 03-09-2022, 01:33 PM

Got it.

That's not many packs at all. I'm sure that will allow more users to be happy this go around.

rubendn · 03-09-2022, 01:57 PM

Pack 1: Luka Rare
Pack 2: Cam Reddish Fresh Threads
Pack 3: Fred Vanvleet Rare

Traded in 25 moments , none of which were really particularly desirable , for one Elite pack:

Joel Embiid Dunk
2022 All-Star Game (Series 3)
Rare
#1139/2022

Congrats on the nice pulls everyone

My one pack

/60k
Fred VanVleet

Jayson Tatum

/11111 Fresh Threads

Eckstein197 · 03-09-2022, 04:17 PM

Got 2 packs with trade tickets and 1 pack with dapper. Best pack results I’ve had in awhile, snapped my Cold streak

Levert FT
Garland rare
Tatum rare

And then a couple 10K LEs

dasiegel · 03-09-2022, 04:21 PM

spent $49 on the pack, got a Van Vleet rare and a Marcus Smart 83/9999, finally a nice pack!

Corporal Lance · 03-09-2022, 04:28 PM

I had good pulls today, after being beat down last time.

3 packs. Lamelo Rare, Sabonis FT, and the third pack was Embiid Rare and Oubre and Love /9999.

Happy.

Amusingly, my CS before bonus is now 9,999.

boxbuster7 · 03-09-2022, 06:50 PM

Trying to decide if the standard drop is worth it tomorrow hmmmm

Guess you changed your mind in the last few hours.

I Broke even with 6 packs , which is good with anything collectible and blind packs.

So if you look at what I said, I said if you have trade tickets I would go for the elite. I had 50 trade tickets. Got 2 packs. Pulled one of the rares in that pack.

So then I bought the third pack because I figured it was gravy because I pulled the Tatum already, and out popped the Garland.

Do you not read what I write?

boxbuster7 · 03-09-2022, 07:18 PM

[B]looks like the odds for the standard pack are pretty bad. Worse than before I feel like. looks like they added more fresh feds
16.283% commons
79.315% fresh threads
4.330% rare
0.070% legendary

where as 33% of elite packs had a rare

Those odds are better than rising stars. Rising stars was like 40% odds for all commons
