Okay. I see you've *slightly improved* the pass amount (4800 vs 2990p), but the prices didn't change a iota and I don't know what to say anymore.

I would have expected at LEAST 7000p. Especially since the Divine is still not a full choice (but I respect that the Solars are more valuable than the Metals, so well done there!).

No Ow's apples and it's a disappointment for sure.



I'm again disappointed.

It’s bad value for money.

Disappointing divine choices for that amount of money. If someone is forking out for the top pack it should be a choice of all divines on the game.
Black market items are poor and not particularly plentiful either.
Do your market research from people that actually buy pass packs! This just looks like a half baked effort at gathering money.

Promo packs should be more enticing and exciting.
This is a major let down in my opinion. Our monthly fragments packs are more exciting than this.

Highway robbery. $231 for the pack with tears privilege. Guess I'm waiting til xmas packs come out since it's $100 cheaper then.

It should be 170$, but it's still expensive

I'll pass. I only need Mercury to complete my Solar divines and the Xmas packs are still a better value imo, so I can wait.

1. The fact that the price is so high and the fertility privilege is only available for horses you've bred on your page is ridiculous. I breed a lot of horses that I've purchased, to only be useful on ones I bred makes it almost useless in most aspects. I also think it would have been better to offer Fertility wand and Aprhrodite privlage in the same package, along with hestias to make it actually a good package, kinda a fertility/breeding package would have made more sense than splitting them up so far apart.
2. Solar Divines and Japanese Horses are cool, but I would like to see older divines that we don't see often like the Egyptian, Gemstones, or Mythological in general.
3. Not everyone breeds draft unicorns, they're very much a pain (coming from someone who only breeds unicorns), it should be offered either any draft unicorn pair, or of any breed unicorn.

I was looking forward to summer packs, but I think I'll wait for Christmas. Again.

I guess the perks for the new divines in the packs aren't known yet?

Will be waiting for December packs. These are terrible value for money spent. The tears perk for 1 month is especially overpriced!

Stop with the draft unicorns! We don't care to have anymore. I'm on a unicorn team but don't breed drafts unless for an objective.

*Please* consider what players want for packs, we want good value for money spent. Not a bunch of companions and other rubbish. default smiley (n)

I'll definitely be waiting for the Xmas packs... December is only 3 months away and those packs will have over double the stuff for the same price.
I applaud the effort for trying to listen to the players when we said we wanted tears privileges throughout the year, but this just isn't what we want. After all, why should we buy these packs when it's the same price for half the stuff that's in the Xmas packs?
I know people are going to read this and say "We'll, DUH!" but I feel like you guys don't listen to the players... why even bother asking for our opinion if you're not going to listen? It's degrading.

You still have time, they haven't launched yet.

Add more passes or more useful items, if the price you cannot touch. Please listen to us.

Def waiting for Christmas packs if even.Why even make a “we want your feedback on packs” and then just not listen at all?

No thanks. The whole point of the packs was to save all year for a nice Christmas one.

Now its just another monthly cash grab.

On top of the seemingly DAILY fragment pack offers, what the lure of these?

People cant afford housing and are putting their literal grocery bills on credit cards.

You guys are getting beyond tone deaf.

I'm going to get the nebula or galaxy pack as an early birthday present to myself, otherwise I am going to wait until Christmas to buy multiple.

Well currently the conversion rate from euro to dollar ( US) is 1 euro + 1.00 us dollar,

By the same conversion 1 euro is worth 1.49 Canadian dollar

1 euro is worth 1.63 Australian dollar

and

I euro is worth .63 Pound sterling.

If it were like this the economy of Europe would be crashing. default smiley (lol)default smiley (lol)default smiley (lol)


Euro is stronger than the Dollar right now, in fact, 1€ is 1,11 dollars.


And 155€ are *still* 170$, just like in the May Packs.

But the times of conversions are over now anyway, and you cannot change your country to pay less anymore.
Prices are fixed and region locked so it's "fine", so to speak default smiley :)

As much as I like the new divine series (easy daily care as opposed to the aliens, who I think have much cooler art) I think I might just wait until Gold Hungry Horse is available again later. These packs seem pretty lackluster, even with the added passes. The draft unicorns will be stuck at foundie gp, so wouldn't even be particularly helpful to breeding. Would rather have uni foundies of chosen breed. I would actually pay it for Barb uni foundies, myself. Maybe just pick up a small pack to help complete my companions. Then again, the new crab companion will likely be available in hops sometime next year (based on previous rare companions available by HoP).

Looks like the majority opinion is they're not worth the price, and I agree. It's either the way they worded things, or they just threw things together, because I'd think the last pack would have everything considering it's the most expensive. Some of the higher packs don't seem to contain as much as the lower packs, and that's strange to me. Definitely a let down

I may get an asteroid or a comet pack but that's a big maybe, depending if I like the new alien divine , despite that, I do agree with everyone that these packs are an absolute joke and disappointment

1 pound sterling is worth 1.31 US dollars so .63 pound sterling is worth about .85 US dollars.
