Introducing Officer Packs
[h3]We are excited to expand KARDS with a new, additional type of card pack starting this Friday, November 13th: Officer Packs![/h3]
The new Officer Packs will contain more cards, a much higher drop rate of rare cards in each pack as well as a guarantee to get rarer cards.
Based on your feedback and our own research, these packs are designed to help you build your collection of Special and Elite cards faster even after you have collected most of the base cards of each set - something that previously could be quite time consuming. We believe that these new packs, in addition to the already existing pack types, will give you a much better experience and allow you to choose the best way to build up your collection.
Officer Packs will be available in the KARDS in-game store for real money and in-game gold (more about that down below). The current Packs will, of course, continue to be available in the store as they always have been.
[h2]Officer Packs: Bigger, better, more oomph![/h2]
The Officer Packs are designed to expand on your collection and are likelier to contain rarer cards for your collection. The contents of each Officer Pack:
As you can see, there are more cards in the new Officer Packs, 7 instead of the 5. In addition, from the cards you draw, you will receive at least one guaranteed special card (or better) plus 2 limited cards (or better).
In addition to the guarantees mentioned, the drop rate for rarer cards has also doubled, creating a higher chance for more than 3 cards of limited rarity or better to appear in a single pack.
[h2]Card draw chances: The details[/h2]
We want to give you the best overview and information about the new Officer Packs so that you can make the best choice to either build up your collection with the current Standard Packs or to expand it with the new Officer Packs. The choice is yours!
Therefore we offer full transparency of the chances to draw rare cards.
First of all, remember that the Officer Packs include two guarantees:
The base distribution for the packs can be seen below, where each card has a 60% chance of being a standard card, 29% of being a limited card, 8% of being a special card and 3% of being an elite card.
If you have not drawn a limited (or rarer) card after the first four cards, one of the guarantees comes into play: The remaining 3 cards in the pack are then at least of limited rarity. The chance to get a limited card is 89%, a special card 8% and an elite card 3%.
If after 6 cards you have not drawn any special (or rarer) cards, the other guarantee is activated: The last card is then guaranteed to be a special card (70% chance) or an elite card (30% chance).
These increased chances of the rare cards together with the guarantee of a special or a better card make it four times more likely of getting an Elite card in an Officer pack compared to the standard pack.
[h2]Bigger or cheaper: The choice is yours![/h2]
Officer Packs are bigger and contain better cards than the current Packs. This considerable advantage is reflected by a higher price tag on the Officer Packs.
The new packs will be available for $4.45 or 30 Gold each. Bundles and special offers will be available too where you can save quite a bit.
We believe that this gives you a fair option to choose between building up your collection with Standard Packs in the beginning, and then, when you have a sizable enough collection, continuing at a slightly slower rate but with more impact by switching over to Officer Packs.
The new packs will be available for all card sets and arrive on 13th of November.
Please let us know what you think, we welcome all of your feedback either in the comments below or on our KARDS Discord chat server.
