Okay thanks, I understand, but didn't they stop them?


Cards? Or promotional events in general?

Either way - the answer is no (unless you mean the Real World Cards that we had back in 2008/2009 - those were stopped...but Card events live on in the form of Digital cards).

It was stated when the Great challenge went live that other promotions (Cards, Wandering Horses, Pinatas, etc.) would still happen from time to time, however - they would just happen less often so that when they do...They are (hopefully) more of a surprise and more enjoyable than before when it was nothing but back to back events.

Ooh - now that's interesting:

Cards

I'm not 100% sure if this is a Preprod thing or not to allow people the chance to finish their collections and test the Divines but...

Right now on Preprod - we have the power to buy a pack filled with nothing but Joker Cards:



I purchased 5 packs - the 3rd card turned out to be:
*the other two cards are always Bronze and Silver*

Diamond
Diamond
Gold
Gold
Gold

I'm hoping this is an indication that uncommon means Gold or Diamond...but I don't know for sure.

How the Joker cards work is like this. They have a rarity assigned to them, and when used - allow you to obtain the card of your choice for that rarity - regardless of if you already have it or not:



The upside to this is that you can choose which card/prize you want.

The downside is that it costs 5 passes for the 3 cards...but (to me at least) - the items you can get are worth the 5 passes.

Take my example of getting a Bronze, Silver, and Diamond Card:

I can use the Bronze card to get an Artemis' Arrow (worth 1 pass to me based on the price of the Hera Pack)
I can use the Silver card to get one of several 1 pass items (such as Medusa's Blood)
The Diamond card gets me a Winged Staff - which would then let me buy a Nyx Pack (6 passes)

That's a total gain of 8 passes worth of items for the price of 5. Again though, just my thoughts.



Well that's interesting indeed default smiley :o
Click to display

Can you open a few more of those joker packs? default smiley (8) I'm wondering whether you were really lucky to have 2 diamond jokers in 5 packs, or whether the odds of a diamond card are higher in the joker packs compared to the normal packs ;o
And yes, uncommon usually refers to gold/diamond default smiley :p

@ ShorahNagi

So is there a possibility of Wandering Horses coming back then? People have asked before and I don't recall if there was a solid reply...

Click to display
I opened 10 packs; got 6 diamonds and 4 golds. so it seems that if you only need one or two to finish off your cards you'll have a good chance of getting a diamond from the joker packs default smiley (y)

another good thing is that unlike the last cards where when you used a joker you had no idea what set the card you were picking was from, this time there is a drop down menu telling you so you can choose which set you want to complete.
so you can see here it tells me depending on which card I choose which set I'll be completing and thus which divine I will be getting default smiley ^)

As stated in the Time Line - Draft Horses are not due to be added until May. All confirmed information is as follows from the Time line:

Two draft horse breeds are added to the game!

Draft horse breeds work in the same manner as donkeys, meaning they can breed three times in their lifetime.
They behave the same as other horses (BLUP, competitions, training...).
Mission earnings are twice the earnings of a regular horse: they earn twice as many skill points, twice as many Equus and bring twice as many resources or Equus to the equestrian center.
Players can submit creations for draught horses in the creative space.

As for what breeds, nothing is known for sure but:

I found this image a few months back hunting around the Internet. It's a shot for Equideow (the French Horse) - mainly, the Create a Team page. In addition to the regular horses (some names of which I translated due to confusion) - there was a new breed on the list (the one highlighted in the Green square):



The Shire - which is a well-known and popular breed of Draft Horse. The appearance of the breed on the page was chalked up to a bug (sort of like how before the Volcanic Balios was added to the game, it stated there were 6 Balios though only 5 showed on the Trophy page for a short time). So while the Shire is a highly possible breed that we are getting, nothing is known for sure.

Yes, there is a possibility of them returning (along with other promotions - as since the Great Challenge started, I've still seen Cards, Pinatas, the Magic Ride (though the Great Challenge was put on hold during this event)) - but there is no guarantee.

Alright - I went ahead and opened a few more:

Click to display
To add onto the original Five that I opened - I've now opened 15 additional ones for a total of 20 packs.

The original Five were:

Diamond, Diamond, Gold, Gold, Gold

The next ones got me:

Diamond, Diamond, Diamond, Diamond, Gold, Gold, Gold, Gold, Gold, Diamond, Diamond, Gold, Gold, Gold, and Gold.

I will admit - the Odds of getting Diamond do seem high with the Joker Packs, but they still seem to show up less than Gold.

Final numbers:

8 Diamond
12 Gold

Which comes down to a 60 (gold) - 40 (diamond) split on the Odds. Of course, this is only based on my small set of numbers. If anyone wants to take my numbers and add their own - go right ahead.

*edit to my above post...I can't count and there was one extra:

Click to display
Got a Diamond Card - but still, the numbers are more in favor of Gold being the more likely card to receive in a Joker pack

What's the difference between the cards and what do you get from the different cards? What most rare?

No, the testing on prepod finishes on the 22nd(?) if I remember correctly, so they won't appear in the actual game until after that. People have guessed that it will be Monday, but I don't think anyone knows for sure.

I've got two passes saved up just in case, but let me ask, what can I do with those passes during the promo default smiley xd or do I need 4k passes and I win *cough cough* "Cool Carrot"

it is of course expensive, 5 passes, if you only need 1 diamond puzzel card, but it might be worthwhile if the odds are much lower in the regular packs.. default smiley :) Thanks for testing!

I'd just like to ask this out of curiosity, and also because I'm desperate for the feature at the moment. Will the option to delete your equestrian center ever be put back in, or is it absolutely not possible because of the inventory and reserve merge?
By katiedingo, 19th March 2015 14:43:18

No, you will not be allowed to delete ec because of the merge.

The difference is:

Click to display
All cards have a rarity to them - from most common to least; Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond.

Some of them, when scratched - give you an item you get right away *Prize cards*
Some of them give you what is called a puzzle card *which is some random image of something related to a puzzle - ex. in this one,the puzzle are color based so you might get a picture of a green field for the Green puzzle* - once you collect all the puzzle cards, you win the prize for that puzzle.

This post I made earlier here has the entire list of Cards and Prizes.

Not yet, my guess is

Click to display
The cards on Preprod end on the 20th (and I assume Preprod does as well). Now given that there is usually a break between preprod ending, and things going live...and that most promotions usually launch on Monday. I'd say expect them to start sometime between tomorrow and monday or tuesday at the latest.

It is simply a matter of being lucky enough to receive an invite PM (VIPs also have a chance to be invited by clicking a banner on the main page (but it's not a guarantee as there are only a few slots saved aside for that)).

I don't think they'll be bringing it back as its my understanding that due to the linked reserves - you can't delete one without losing the other.

Adds don't belong here default smiley :). You could put this on your page though. It's hard know where to to put it since it is an add but is a spoiler at the same time.
