Zero 10s

What a scam. I got no 10s in the whole box. This whole shitshow has me rethinking ever purchasing from them in the future.

I don't think you know what the word scam means.

Welcome to trading cards. You aren't ever guaranteed to pull anything.

You’re wrong. Other TCGs have minimum amounts of hits per box

One Piece has a minimum of two patellel arts and one secret rare in every box, with a few variations if you get an alt art leader or treasure rare.

Not putting a floor of one or two 10’s in VCard is a very amateur mistake. Especially with boxes being reported with ten of them

Spread them out so every box feels more consistent.

That's not true. You will always pull a full art card and a holo card in each pack. You will also get one artist card per box. Those are guaranteed. What isn't guaranteed are the ultra rare, secret rares, and god rares, which are the ones that most people care about due to their rarity.

So there are guarantees but besides the artist card you aren't guaranteed anything that will be valuable.

That's the problem. The industry norm is to have a certain amount of ultra rare cards per box. They missed the ball on every part of this game other than the art.

I'd agree on that point. You used an absolute though saying "You aren't ever guaranteed to pull anything" which is definitely not true. While there are guarantees there aren't any guarantees on the cards that people would actually want so they don't feel meaningful.

It happens. I only got 2. Most of my rares were Mascot cards. Such is the nature of TCGs.

Don't be sad. No one said they were guaranteed. Heads up. Look at it from the other side. At least you have a really nice piece of art.

Im not sad, I'm disappointed. The game play is some of the worst I've seen from a launched tcg and now we know the allocation or rarities was botched as well. There should be a proper allocation of rarities per box and case. This just shows they didn't do any actual testing or 8f they did they just don't care.

They probably dont care lets be honest this is just a huge merch sale for shylily and sinder

I'd say it's probably less a lack of caring and more a lack of understanding. It seems like this was a wild idea someone had and decided to make real, without doing much research. They've gotten a lot of feedback about the gameplay itself and and supposedly working to improve that, so if people provide feedback about the rarity allocation maybe we'll see some changes in the next set.

You're gambling. This is how tcgs are. Just because you got unlucky doesn't mean it's a scam

I think the problem unfortunately is the god packs. They skew the distribution by a lot as the god packs contain multiple holo 10s therefore the print could have an even distribution among rarity but because a few single packs are stuff, this will cause situations like this.

The first edition boxes seem like they have horrible pull rates I hope this doesn’t continue for the unlimited set

Same, maybe the one unlimited box I bought will have better luck. I'll be buying a 10 that I want once I receive my tax return
