No wolf here (dont want it either tho)
No complete set of ATOs just by opening packs.
But did get all the Elemental Order set.
And that was with opening 48 or 50 packs.

That's what I was waiting to hear. If all the 24 pack gets you is a complete costume set at the very least then I'll take the risk.

Had the costume set complete after only 10 packs, but still no wolf after 72 packs and only 4/6 of three different ATO sets... and a few loose ones.

No, but it's pretty likely, I got the last piece of the set on my 16th pack.|

Most people I have seen who've bought the 24 pack have gotten the full costume set.
Main Hero: Mazey - level 50 + 1 fire/fire/fire blaster.
Main Villain: Chained Bot - level 50 + 1 Robot/FF Mastermind.
BattleEngine - "And the prize for the most level headed response ever goes to Mazey"
I opened 6 packs earlier and got...
3 Costume Pieces (Jacket, Sleeves and Gloves)
1 Catalyst
2 ATOs (Brute triple and SoA proc)
1 Windfall
1 Black Wolf O_O
2 or 3 assorted consumeables I'll never use
... and a pretty nice little pile of Merits.
Merits made up the bulk of the "not very interesting" cards I received.

Yep I figure for every person who gets the Black Wolf in the first dozen or so packs there'll be another person who has to open 200+ packs to get it and thus Universal Karma will be preserved. |

As long as I never get the Wolf, I'll be happy! It's the only think in the packs I won't likely use. Everything else, while possibly not what I would normally purchase (in game or in the market) I'd at least use.

Since most of my characters are already fully Purple/PvP IOd I actually don't care that much about the ATIOs. I'll probably use them eventually but they're not a priority for me. I also don't think I'll be using much of the Elemental Costume set. Most of it just doesn't quite fit with most of my characters.|

Ironically enough the Black Wolf is probably one of the main things I'd like from these packs. To each their own I guess.

Well like I said earlier (in another thread I think) at least you did it in the right order and didn't actually pay for 700+ packs to get it. |

Out of all the costume bundles/packs, I tend to only use one or two pieces from them...but I end up buying the bundles anyways (didnt buy the firefighter hat tho)If I could, I'd give you my odds of getting the Black Wolf, just so I wouldnt have to get it.

For what it's worth thanks. I still wish I could trade away my dozens of unused Costume Tokens to other people. |

You got super lucky: Took me over 30 packs to complete the costume set, and no Wolf as of Pack 53 (which I wasn't chasing, but still).

I think those who don't get the complete costume set in under 24 packs are unlucky though, as it seems pretty common to get them in less than 24 packs.

I'd like to thank all you people who are blowing money on this stuff for supporting the main game that I enjoy.
It's moderately annoying to me that development time and effort has been burned on yet another niche mini-game, but at least its a mini-game that will directly bring in dollars to fund development on the center stage.
So go ahead, pack lovers! Spend!
Now if only there was some way to monetize gladiators, arenas or even PvP in general...
Statesmonkey Sez: Lighten up! It's a game, for Lincoln's sake!
Also: Six years of casual play begins to look an awful lot like one year of hardcore play.
I'm just hearing about this Super Pack idea for the first time today...
So, I have to spend my hard earned money in the store and HOPE I get LUCKY? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
No.
your = Belonging to you.
you're = Contraction meaning "You are."
Ur = The name of an ancient Mesopotamian city.
ur = This is not a word.

I only gave them back my VIP freebie points. They get enough loot out of me already with their non-random costume sets and silly flying carpets. (Yes. I love that ridiculous thing... I'm not afraid to admit it.) |

With the costume pieces, is there the chance of getting duplicate pieces or would the system know if you already have one specific piece and grant you another random one?
You cannot get duplicate costume pieces or Black Wolf. The card will reroll within that rarity until a non-owned costume piece/Black Wolf drops. (NOTE: This is only supposition, but the only other option would be that it would reroll within that rarity's costume pieces, which would mean people would get the costume pieces far quicker, so not likely.)
Everything else (including ATEs) is repeatable.

The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

I bought 24 and got all the Elemental except the face plate and did not get the dog. I didn't keep track of the rest because I don't care much for it.|

I bought 4 more (spent all available points) and got the face plate but still no dog.
I won't be buying any more until we get the ability to use Reward Tokens. I do want that wolf but alas.
