maybe this is a stupid question that was alredy asked and answered a million times, but here it is, again, why cant i buy Eva Elfies card that appeared today? how does one get special events cards anyway? I am a premium member, 2 diamonds, and yet i still dont have access to these cards, what one must do to be able to buy them? DO I have to sell my soul to the devil first?

thanks

Hi @Karandros

It has been asked a million times and has been the cause of much debate and anger within the forums.

Simple fact - you cannot buy them. They are there to act as inducements to participate in gambling events where the prize is either an SEC or a "joker" card which you could swap for an SEC.

The games are desiugned to make you spend a lot of credits to win the card and the odds of winning are never published.

The reality is that unless you are a "completist" collector (where you must have everything) then these cards are really not that special.

thanks, that explains alot
cheers dude

please get rid of special event cards . theres lots of speical event cards i want to buy but i cant

i really want to buy the new eva elfie card too but ic ant

I liked when the "gambling" games (like the scratch cards, etc) were a ***** "fun" game. I spent credits and quite often got credits back or cards - many of which I would not have chosen or were old "classics" that I never bought at the time.

A couple of months ago, it seemed to me (and this is of course subjective) that there was a switch. This system of jokers and special events cards came in, and suddenly I wasn't getting the prizes (creidts or cards) as much. It honestly felt less like a game than a "house always wins" gamble. It really felt as if the odds had been "tweaked".

I've sunk quite a lot of credits into these "games", but since they've been introduced, I've never won a "joker" or a "Special Event Card". Of course, this may be bad luck, but it feels to me - a fairly long-time faithful customer - like a "the house always wins" exploitation. Sadly. I don't think I'll ever see Eva Elfie's card, no matter how many credits I sink into these "games".

@Karandros:

Don't sell your soul. The devil is having trouble getting SECs as well. 😉

FYI, the Black Friday 2019 promotion provided a straightforward (though potentially expensive) path of getting these. Each time you spent credits on the slots or on a scratch card, you accrued points that eventually rewarded you with the Jia Lissa SEC card and, later, a Joker card. I don't know whether Totem will provide something similar in the future or not, but I would be surprised if they didn't. I'm keeping my Joker until there's an SEC I absolutely have to have.

@601bes:

As you say, it's definitely subjective, but I feel the same way. I seemed to be a lot "luckier" when buying scratch cards during the Black Friday 2019 promotion than I have on scratch cards since then. Of course, that's how luck works, but it would be nice to know if the odds have actually changed..

I too.
