I finally got around to buying one today to try it out.

 

I got 2 team inspirations, 5 converters, 1 respec and 1 build snow beast temp power.

 

Needless to say I will not be buying another. Total waste of 25 million.

That sucks; sorry to hear that.  I think they designed the packs so that on average you will end up with at least one winter-o, but the problem with averages is that sometimes you are below average.

So just for sake of my sanity I went ahead and bought another one,

I got 2 Inspirations, 1 Snowbeast,  1 Experienced, and 1 Respec.

 

I must be drawing the short straw.

 

This time I will seriously not waste the INF again.  HA HA HA

A month ago, I spent 25 million in three packs. The first netted me an IO with the other two giving me pretty this type of thing.

 

From now on, I am either using merits or just buying Winter IOs on the market when I want sets from those garbage packs. I don’t mind spending Influence, however. I can’t stand wasting it.

I buy these things in stacks of 10, 30 or 50 and routinely get more than that in winter IOs (or ATOs if going for super packs instead). I dont recommend buying one and hoping for the best, they arent a cheapskate's game. Get some real dough and let'er rip.

I like this idea. I think I'm going to buy twenty of them when I get home just for shits and giggles. I will share my results. I'll also buy 20 each of the two cheaper packs to see how they compare. I realize with such a small sample size it won't be definitive. But I'm curious, bored, and need an excuse to blow some influence.

So I bought 20 Winter Packs:

  • Team Inspirations  18
  • Brain Storm  520
  • Candy Cane 55
  • Boosters   1
  • Winter IO  26
  • Snow Beast   7
  • Experienced   4
  • Unslotter   28
  • Free Tailor  2
  • Reward Merits  200
  • Converters   7
  • Respec   1
  • Winter Ward  1
  • Windfall   2
  • Frost Bite   1

Bought  25 each of the other two packs, didn't record everything I got from them.  But the 25 Hero/Villain packs got me 27 ATOs and 125 Merits and the Rogue/Vigilante packs got me 26 ATOs and 275 Merits.  Spent a billion total on this and while I haven't done the math, if I were to sell all the IOs and use the merits for converters I think I came ahead. But this was tedious and now I have a tone of team inspirations dirtying up my character items.

That looks about right as far as turn out goes typically. At that amount you almost always come out ahead by a bit. The whole bit is tedious but alot of the methods for making influence via the market are a bit on the tedious side.

Well I feel personally attacked.

It’s that tedious part that makes me more than happy to just buy them off of you in the Matket.
