3/6 burning chests had silver marks in them just now. Make the madness or markness end please.

So no Kingdom or Rainbow Crystal in the PvP free (and paid) pass? I swore that previous seasons offered deeds?
Well guess I saved myself $15

I don’t recall ever seeing Writs/Deeds/Books in the reward tracks for the free pass.

Would have been nice to see rainbow crystals in shop or put in the paid pass i would have bought. As it stands this pvp pass is not worth the time or effort. Thank you for saving me money

I opened 10 chests and all I got was silver and gold marks!
Not a single Immortal soul!
This has never been this bad!

In prior seasons, Gold Marks were at least useful as you could purchase books in the shop.
Now there is a 52% chance of getting something not useful in Burning Chests.

and it only gets worse every season..
Paid pass should really give souls to get the 2nd seasonal Immortal to at least level 4.

It’s just one big rip off and its getting worse. You should just get Immortal souls and you level up the one you want. How hard would that be? Of course you couldn’t rip off the player base as much so there’s that

Today, Immortal Biblios appeared for the first time in Epic Burning Chests. I opened 29 chests and didn’t get it. I suspect Immortal Biblios is bugged. Has anyone managed to get it from there?

took me 12 to pull 15 souls (once, low roll). Considering each 25 Burning Marks/1 epic pull is $5 … can’t say I’m too thrilled by it.
Most of it was Ang’Rak refunds, Zephaar refunds, and icons 😴.

Thank you! It’s nice to know it’s there.
