Then, I guess if you want to max out your free-trial the answer is to activate the 2week-pass in December 30th? That way you get double the quest for tickets and cards for a new pack
Yes, but there could be another set of cosmetics in January too. The way I see it, there will always be about 30-31 premium tickets every month for premium pass to exchange items. Skipping subscription of November will mean you're always 1 month behind on cosmetics. Of course you may not want every cosmetic.
@@Bropeningsyeah, the best thing to do seems to be waiting until December 31st. If you decide on Nov 30th instead, you will definitely miss out on January's log-in promo. It seems like Pikachu will always be available for a single ticket, and all of the Mewtwo stuff will remain until the end of December. Subscribing Dec 31st means you'll have to decide between Pikachu, Mewtwo, and January's addition - but having more to choose from at that point is a pro, not a con

@@iRule37 The fact that Pika [has] no timer says it's either permanent (which would make the most sense), or they'll give it a timer when it's got two months or so left. If they just get rid of it without any warning that would be bad business - betraying the trust of potential customers for the sake of increased [fomo.] As far as the dates go, I really doubt the new expansion releases anywhere near Jan 1st. I didn't include that in the list of my reasons, as you can't exactly predict it that far out (even with datamines afaik). You'll always want more packs - new set or otherwise (if there is a mini set in Dec I'm sure I'll still need more of it by the 31st), and the Mewtwo would be an unfortunate card to miss out on imo.
Édit: i’m now 3 metal cards away to get the mission done. (though it’s a big gamble to go for wonder picks for them and use the bronze hourglass(to renew pick(s))for the 20% chance(40% if 2 metal cards). Thankfully, i just go for the one which cost only 1. In my previous message, while i said (1P,1M,3C), i refer to the first 3 cards(in term of common quality(1diamond) (even if the card can be obtained from all 3 packs.

I feel like they need to add more to the shop. They should increase how much it takes to get one of those cars out of there at least because people would eventually run out of those premium tickets. I had a feeling this was gonna be the case I was saving mine for shit like this, maybe they can add our glasses and other shit get gold and maybe other things for the future just expand that premium shop and I hope that we get to see more daily challenge rewards in the future too I know that was off-topic but damn I just feel like they need to be more rewards added
I didn’t save my own Premium tickets from the trial period, but I’m personally not too worried about missing out on some future Premium-exclusive Promos. Sure the art is cool, and there’s always a completionist motivation in games like this, but almost all Promos (with the exception of the Trainer cards which can be bought infinitely from the Shop, Lapras ex being its own only variant, and Mankey for some reason) are effectively the same card as ones you can pull from packs, and none of them actually count towards completing the Card Dex anyway.
wonderpick relies on other people, and unless you are farming alts to get chances on your main, there's little in the way of opportunity once the new shiny shows up and everyone is generating wonderpicks for the new stuff. For finalizing on a current expansion, sure, but make sure you get it done before the next set.
worth mentioning that "11 metal cards" this month is easiest to complete by spamming Charizard cards from Apex As its the only deck with metal cards (that arnt shared between all the apex packs)
I hope they add new stuff soon. I’m already so set on the game besides the 2 free packs. I’m already forgetting to open them though because in my mind I’m like what’s the point haha
argh my pass expires on december 2nd. at least I'll get the mewtwo, but maybe I won't have time to complete most missions. unless they'll get retro-actively completed like the first ones, but that would be silly imo. people keeping a subscription active would always unlock all missions. I wonder how they'll handle that.
So if I sub on premium on Dec 23rd, I should get Both Mewtwo card and likely the promo January card? Seems OP to abuse it unless they add continuous premium sub bonus (?)
Im curious about how you are able to see the progress on your premium pass quest while not being subscribed.. i see in the video that even though you don't have it, it shows as complete. But when i check on my end, i don't see any indication of any of my quests as complete , which is making me hesitate on getting the pass again. Edit: Don't mind I'm just hella blind and could not see the completed quest on my phone.
So I recently updated my credit card address after signing up for the free trial over 2 weeks ago. The game isnt able to charge the card due to the address change but I still have the premium pass. The trial shows in my subscription that it expired on the 23rd but I am still getting the extra pack per day.
I have a question 🤔 if i subscribe premium pass as of today 28/11, will i be able to get the 31 tickets and next month the mewtwo card and pikachu coin because i don't need mats, sleeves, covers i like coins and cards is that possible i keep these all the coins and cards??
We theorise that you can do that. However this is the first time we're doing this as the game has only been out 1 month. No one can tell you with 100% certainty.
I would personally prefer 29th to be safe. You never know what kind of troubles you'll have activating the pass. I've spoken several times about possible issues with activating free trials (app stores have ways to prohibit use of free trials). Or you might have payment issues if it's your first time.
How do you think they will handle the new full set releases? Will we reset to level 1 to rapidly accrue cards early? Or will we just continue to level up infinitely?
Pretty sure the current level cap is 50, and I doubt they'll ever reset us back to level 1. You just have to acquire your hourglasses another way (they might do some sort of launch event)
I don't think we'll reset to level 1 as that's an account level. Resetting so that we can get more pack hourglass when the game makes money from players not having enough freebies is somewhat wishful thinking. However I do hope to see some more ways to get pack hourglass. DENA's previous games tend to manage events well, by providing f2p with freebies to collect (e.g. missions) during major events, but there'll never be enough compared to paying players.
I thought the length of the months do not matter. I mean because subscription is based on days. SO each sub = to 30 days regardless on what day of the month you subscribe. So you will always get 31 open pack per sub (1 per day) plus the extra one from day 1 (because you get to open 2 on day 1).
We'll be certain after the roll over of the pass. 2 week trial is not the same as monthly subscription so I cannot 100% prove one way or another yet. 2 weeks is always 14 days, 1 month can be a range of numbers.
Doesn’t the fact that the website shows missions and the rewards for the missions from December-January prove that we will get new missions at the start of December?
so I guess best time to get the prenium pass would be 31st of december, so you can buy the pikachu card, get the mewtwo, and the card of january and still get they gold tickets of december and january
@ that’s assuming the pikachu card isn’t removed in December when the new card comes, but yes I’d agree that if the pikachu card isn’t removed then that would probably be the best time. However you would technically get more tickets by doing it the last day of November. Since in this month we get 31 tickets but next month the log in mission gives the mew two instead of an extra ticket. So ticket wise you would get one more ticket if you do this month and next month. If you just do December and January and still have to spend that 1 ticket for the pikachu then you would have to spend a extra ticket that you don’t get from those months missions
passes in other mobile games cut off even if you buy them a day before next pass. u pay the month not the days, in other words, some passes are longer than others, rather than fixed amounts
Day one i created allot of Accounts, lvled them to lvl 5 and picked that one with the Best cards. After that i got lucky and continued get good cards. Get one god pack and now by 204/226 cards by in total got 940 cards. But I already used my free two weaks Premium Pass DM@@kylesipsas
I managed to get the premium pass yesterday, so do I have to wait till the end of the month which is 4 days (November 30) or complete the full trial then unsubscribe the last day?
If it's the free pass (or in general) if you wait until the last day, you will still get charged (you have to cancel the premium over 24 hrs before it ends, so canceling on the last day will get your card charged!) You'll still get the rewards for the full period though! I hope I answered your question 😅
@@AmerSama1992 yes. I'd personally do it 3 days before it ends to be extra safe, but as long as it's canceled over 24 hrs before the last day, it shouldn't charge you!
Lol I’ll stagger my alt accounts so that I can get the different promo cards to look at. The abilities don’t look different from the cards already in the packs.
10 bucks in some countries is a lot, in others not so much, as there's not much global pricing in this game unlike Pokemon Go who adjusts pricing to purchasing power. I'm not here to judge whether it should or shouldn't be a big deal, just want to present the information for players to decide for themselves. Also some would argue 10 bucks is like a "gateway" into spending more. How often have I seen people start with spending 10, 100, 200... Some people also prefer to maintain free to play status just for the flex of it and using a 2 week free trial maximally is part of it.
they'll never get any other cosmetics either because they only did the 2 week trial. why are you acting like f2p could have gotten much more 🥴 you wouldn't have gotten more. you got a 2 week trial. yall the type of players to say shi like this is a "scam" 😂 either spend 10 while dollars or just be an annoying complainer. there's a 3rd option too! Just play the game and stfu. ain't got your own money? christmas right around the corner, little Timmy. just ask mom for 10$ 😂😂😂
