Is it my imagination or did they add xp bonus powers to Hero Packs?

I came to the conclusion that they had replaced amplifiers, as I opened a bunch of winter packs today and got zero amplifier drops. Can anyone confirm that amplifiers are still awarded?

 

There never were amplifiers in Winter Packs, only Hero and Vig Packs:

Thanks, Yomo. I didn't really want to open that many packs until after they got rid of that useless 25% and 50% xp boosters. I love my experienced temps!

Then don't open your Winter Packs, because Experienced (and therefore useless XP boosters) is in all three packs...

[Ukase]

I opened a few - and I was surprised to get both Experienced and the %xp boosters. I'm sure I'll find a use for the % boosters, as I'm guessing they don't negate the inf earning like 2xp from p2w.

I opened a bunch more just now; zero amplifiers.

 

I should probably double check that winter packs had amplifiers before - they weren't just in hero/villain and rogue/vigilante packs were they?

Ah someone already answered while I was testing.

As far as I know they're exactly the same power you get for free from P2W. E.g. if you already have double XP active, or are level 50, you can't claim these.

[KeepDistance]

Since this bug is the only way to have XP boosters in character items email, I wonder if they could be converted to experienced charges when the fix for the bug goes live?

 

That would require not claiming them in the meantime but it'd be a lot better than just losing the value of those spots in the reward list.

 The Winter Event is active until January 4, 2022.

* Presents can be found and given and the Winter Lord can spawn.

* Winter Super Packs are discounted to 15,000,000 Inf.

* Note that there is a minor bug with Winter Super Packs: instead of Experienced you will receive an XP Booster. If this is a problem, wait until after the Winter Event ends to open your packs.

A cheap trick!

There are four card rarities; prior to this patch, Experienced dropped on all four, and with this patch, you get Experienced on Common, 25% XP on Uncommon, 50% on Rare, 100% on Very Rare. That's the only change. Will be reverted on the next non-critical patch.

 

I read rarities as singularities and was in the MCU for a bit.  I'm back now 🙂

I just noticed ..it looks like there are 218 different possible items to get.

It's just pure conjecture on my part. If you look at the bottom right corner of each "card", you'll see a fraction. Some number over 218. So, that leads me to assume there are 218 different things we can get.
