The only complaint.

Triple Triad booster packs are a rip off.

8000 MGP for mithril booster pack.

Lets say you spend 140k MGP for 30 booster packs the 140k you busted your butt for a few months cause it ain't easy only to get repeats of card you already own.

pretty much worthless also when you trade them back only getting probably 10k worth points back depending on what you got which is rare cause the repeats.

Other prices reasonable that mithril booster pack is out of hand.

its already not easy to win npc's sometimes but buying booster packs with such a low % give back is not right and its super low.

30 cards get 15 of the same card yay yeah great thanks anyways whatever done with triple triad for good lol

So why not play the game and win cards? Play the tournament just for participating you can get platinum packs -.-; Booster packs are meant to be a rip off and seriously it's not that hard anyways. If you played FFVIII it's the same rules. If not look them up on line samples ect. Damn lazy people want everything handed to them lol.

I play game and I know that it is the same as 7 poor choice of words you use there.

Its not about hand outs its about pricing doesn't match and its above not getting same cards twice even playing npc's 100+ times I am getting the very same card.

its not fun to me to play a npc that many times for the same card when I just want to get the second card so I can go play another npc.

8000 points compared to other booster packs that's double the price, that don't make me what you said just because I think the price is a bit too much.

that's like few months of running golden saucer and even that is tiresome which nobody I hardly see people go to golden saucer anymore matter of fact only to do 2 things.

maybe a event when it pops up, and weekly card game and the cactpot even though that is not even worth doing since ive tried like crazy even mog bonanza was better than that.

cause well the MGP is just not worth it and you can get MGP from the book for weekly 30k.

You do realize that they updated the NPC to show cards that you have collected and the ones you have not? The more you win with higher cards the better your odds for the card your missing.

Example , based on my experience, if you win having over the normal five cards 3 you enter the second card bracket, 4-5 is almost a guarantee card. Sometimes is luck of the draw on rules, however for the most part is just knowing the rules and cards. re adjusting your cards. Using MGP on booster packs is just a waste save those for the Cloud card, mounts, minions. At any rate good luck it really is not that hard.

Just like in real life! :D

More seriously, it's supposed to be a nigh endless MGP sink by definition. If you're aiming at any of the big spenders, you shouldn't be bothering with the booster packs anyway. They're there to make sure your MGP purse isn't too heavy after you hit 80+ on the fashion report and have nothing else to spend it on. And even then, rotten as your luck might be, you'll eventually get those cards. I'm a Zidane card away from not having to bother with any booster pack save for the Platinum ones, but those don't cost me MGP unless I do really horribly on the tournament.

good luck with that the platinum ones would be worth it if you could actually win 1st place.

cousin won once or twice I don't have the cards to do it he tried to help, I decided today to call it on triad I went and bought 7 on ps4 and rather play that then the one on 14 until I see some improvement on the cards not giving you the same stuff non stop.

anyways have fun man.

The time I scored 2nd and got my Firion card I also got Tidus from the booster packs. I rank top 20 almost regularly when I remember to participate so I'm actually making MGP while farming for them, it's all good.

No I'm referring to playing against NPC's. The more cards you win over the first 5 the better your drops are.

As long as you win your tournament matches even if your not into tiers you have a high chance of platinum packets.

Experience shows that's a load of rubbish. I can flip the board and still not get a drop, it's all RNG.

IF it's RNG then the RNG God likes me for some reason then.Most I've spent on one NPC is 10 times for a secondary card and 5 times for a normal one. Better get that salty God out of your corner. Less if I flip the board. Except from Illshyre and above harder to flip whole board.

eh?
That's like saying if you flip the four corners Aerith will be brought back to life.
Proof, or it's unsubstantiated nonsense that will only confuse people.

We all have our methods then, to each their own. Main point is you have a better chance to get cards you don't have by challenging NPC's then wasting MGP on packs on repetition based on theme and not likely to get the ones your missing.

It's not a method, it's just your luck. There is no such system to the card you get from NPCs.

You realize those packs have cards you can't get from anywhere else, right?

Luck maybe those luck items I carry with me ? ( Not proven to work )As for card in packs, the ones I got early on I got from NPCS, tried packs a few times already had them -.-, Yeah kind of why I only compete in tournaments for platinum packs. Based on the odds however and the structure of rare cards that you can use your better of with Higher level NPC ones than pack ones. Maybe after you have all the ones you can buy directly with MGP then invest on packs lower or save up. Otherwise it's a nice queue time killer. I mean what else can you do when you have maxed almost everything already >.>

How is he being lazy? There's some cards you can ONLY get from the card packs in the game. That's how they're making it a very un-needed MGP sink. In the R-300 races, you'd have to win first place 8 times for one attempt at a card pack (Right over 1000 MGP). But they made sure to put some common as hell cards in each one to really streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch out how long it takes to finally get something. Not to mention the fact that you have to ROLL AGAINST UP TO 23 PEOPLE IN RAIDS for some of the cards.

The only cards that are booster exclusive are in Bronze, Silver, Gold and Imperial Triad booster packs. The Gold ones are going to be your major headache with both WoL and Zidane. I don't recall any card from the Mithril Triad booster that you can't get from other means (trial/raid/dungeon drops or NPC). The later are hard to get, since the NPCs are a real challenge and the drops are stingy as hell. So it's up to decide what's worth doing. I'll leave this handy website: http://ffxivtriad.com/

Can you not play NPCs anymore? I used to play against the weakest NPC and I could walk away with 2 platinum packs. I didn't even win all the time, so I'm assuming it was just a participation reward.

I might not be the first to say it, but I will say it again anyway: ANYTHING in this game that comes solely from an RNG source is a HUGE ripoff. This is doubly so for triple triad, where the drop rates from both NPCs and card packs are horrendously low all around. Do not pursue them unless you have a saints patience and a lot of time on your hands.

I play triple triad while waiting in DPS queues. I am earning MGP fast and have all the cards that drop from NPCs who I have unlocked to play against. I just sell the cards that I already have. There are a few cards that only come from buying packs or from dungeons that I have yet to get but I am not worried. I'm in no rush. Maybe try it next time you are in a long queue and find yourself standing around. Might as well get some MGP while you are waiting.
