@SwempZ Oh, so you don't automatically get the new characters, and it's more spending of coins and playing the waiting game...and for 50k packs no less. Figures!
I guess next Popcap will up specialty packs to 100,000 just for a chance at a character piece, because why not, right?
50,000? geez. Good thing i stopped trying to get legendary characters this week and have been saving my coins. got about 600,000 saved up right now.

Maybe this was mentioned already and I missed it, but will the new packs still give you a chance to get a Legendary piece as well? Or will it only give access to the new items and new characters?
I would hope it will give all the current legendary pieces considering that it's the most expensive pack aside from the character packs
No, Gary Clay via Twitter said the new packs will only contain Zombopolis Content, no previous content.

Thanks for the clarification. That's really too bad, but I'm not surprised at this point. The collecting aspect of the game seems to be designed where the main goal is to draw it out as long as possible.
Gary also said that because so many players were talking about legendaries and the difficulty in obtaining them, they have doubled the chances of getting legendary in the new packs. In the other packs that contain legendaries you have a 1 percent chance but in the new packs you have a 2 percent chance of getting a legendary...which means that the new packs do contain the legendary pieces but NOT the previous customization items. 🙂
I think the question is, why is the getting of legendaries random at all? In the first game, yes you had to complete a ton of challenges to unlock chatacters but all in all it felt fair. There is nothing fair about randomness and it does nothing but breed resentment. As it has done here.

If I had to guess I'd say it was for two reasons. One, they wanted to artificially extend the life of the collectable aspect of the game, Which they did, but forgot that it's supposed to be fun not frustrating. And two, they probably are hoping that people will use real money to buy the coin packs in the store.
It's too bad though as the game is still fun even when everything is unlocked. That's why people like me played the first game for such a long time even though I had unlocked everything.

@homerd0h THIS! It would be one thing to say you can buy the legendary and party characters for $5 or $10 each, which in itself would be bad, but many people would accept it. But with the random system they're using, you could literally buy $100 worth of packs and STILL come up with sh--!
Pay-to-win schemes were designed to take advantage of people who want everything, but don't want to spend hundred of hours acquiring them. But for those of us who do play this game that much, Popcap does nothing for themselves by punishing us this way, except to turn their fanbase against them!

Probably for the same raison almost everything else is random in sticker pack,the difference is that those are way moar rare.
Also making legendary sticker needing you to either pay for them with real money or pray to rng is worse then just pray to rng imo.
They should add a temie Easter egg in the game to activate it press left right left left right left right right on the d-pad and you would get a temmie ears cap for all characters and 25,000 coins. and there would be a voice clip SAYING "HOI IM TEMMIE" and then temmie village would start playing. HOW ABOUT IT EH?
I'm sorry but EA does not and never will own Undertale. Doing that would create copyright.
Oh oops i mean Popcap
