If I buy the premium REQ packs now then will I get given 12 straight away to open then 2 more each week or 2 each week from when I buy them and I run out 6 weeks after everyone else?
I believe it’s 2 up front, followed by two each week.
You get two up front, then two more each Monday morning pretty much right at 12:00am in your time zone. You get a total of 14 packs, 2 each week for 7 weeks.
They’re identical to gold packs in terms of the quality of items you can get from them, except each premium pack has three permanents while a regular gold pack only has two.
If you’ve opened a few gold packs you’d know that most of the stuff you’ll get from them is stuff you can get from silver packs, so unless you get really lucky you would’ve been better off just playing the game and buying silver packs with the points you earn from playing. Or once you unlock everything available in silver packs then open gold and premium packs you’d get nothing but ultra rares and legendaries, I’d say it’s worth it at that point but it took me until like SR72 to finish bronze and silver packs.
I know they give 2 each week but since the game has been out for (I think 6 weeks) then would I just be given 12 of them straight away?
I think it’s over 7 weeks from when you start it. Not a set schedule that gives people all of them at once. The pre-order bonus ones will run out next week so we’ll see how they work in the future soon.
