Choice Pack Frustration
I just need to vent a little bit about Choice Packs for a second. First, I have to say that in general Choice Packs are a really cool addition to the game. They're an idea that I and at least a couple of others threw out 2 years ago as a potential addition to make things more interesting.
Now for the part that could use some improvement. I've finished in the money for my last three PD 128-team tourneys (yielding a Silver Choice Pack and two Low Diamond packs). Every player in the Silver Pack was in a CC5 mission and appeared to be useful cards for tourneys. But the Low Diamonds were all from the initial batch from when the game launched. They're dreadful cards compared to the subsequent Diamond releases. They aren't useful in any league above Iron, useless in any kind of tourney and worse still, not in a single mission. As a consequence, you would be hard pressed to find a buyer for them if you want to unload them. It would be a better outcome to either draw the pool of players from all historic Low Diamonds or perhaps offer the user a choice of one of the cards or a fixed amount of PP (say, 15,000 for Low Diamond) in lieu of a card.
Finishing 3rd/4th in a 128 team tourney should result in a reward that is better than finishing 5th-16th. Right now it certainly is not.
