So what do you guys think: what is the best pack to buy? there is alot of varieties, but i chose to get the battle pack considering the solstice boxes, i actually got a crown and made 1,000,000 out of it, so it was worth my money. But that was just luck. Without a promo, what do you think the best pack is? Yes elevator pass counts.
Best pack?

@ysser
i agree with ysser about some kind of promotional elevator pass.
i had no idea how easy that makes the game to play until i actually used it.
it makes everything you do pure profit.

love it
"But I didn't just suggest that so we have nothing to worry about."
I laughed out loud. Thanks for that.

If you would have not ignored me for some reason I was going to offer you one million and a ctr high sealed sword or a million and couple of wings.

I like the Battle Pack :P
I bought the Start Pack and the Battle Pack when I was in that transition phase between 4* and 5*. I remember being incredibly conservative with my CE because I liked having OVER 9000 CE. I barely sold it, and used it for primarily crafting, and my first Shadow Lair run. I burnt the mist tanks on crafting Brandishes, and actually got a few really nice ones (One with ASI med, another with ASI low and +dam vs Construct low, and another with +dam vs Construct high). The costume is shiny, and that is all I need to be happy sometimes :P
Also, the 5 Krogmo Coin Boosters were awesome. I was paranoid about using them, and only used them about a month ago. Despite this, I had great fun on a Lockdown Marathon, activating all 5 of them at once, and then playing LD for several hours straight. Started the day with 12 Krogmo Coins, and walked away with over 340.
At the same time, I really wish I bought the starter pack earlier. Maybe not when I was 1*, but ideally when I was2*/3*. I remember being terrified of tier 2, farming Snarby until I had full Dusker xD. I really like the Green Ward, and I have it equipped on all my Lockdown loadouts :D. The Weapon Slots were what encouraged me to get a 4th weapon slot (I had 3 before), and try out a trinket. Also, I really like the artifact it comes with. It moved me emotionally for some reason... idk why :P
Despite me liking what's in the starter pack, I feel like it is so easily wasted if you're only... well... starting. 4 weapons are excessive up until the later half of tier 3. The only good trinkets are Heart Trinkets and the ones you make from Mod Calibrators, neither of which are easily accessible to newer players (Except maybe Heart Trinkets, but that requires a lot of lockdown or the budget to buy Enamorocks). Most of the time you can recognize those who bought the Starter Pack because they will constantly energy rev, and spend energy without hesitation. I cannot count how many newbs I've scolded for being wasteful with their CE.
A better Starter Pack would probably be something like the Explorer Pack, with the Elevator Pass and long-term Heat Amp. Ideally, if I could influence OOO for a bit, I would make the Starter Pack the Explorer Pack, lower the price to ~$8, replace the silver key with the Green Ward and Static Flash, replace the Stranger Hat for the 5 Mist Tanks, and then add in the Starter Pack's artifact.
During the winter sales, hands-down it was the Explorer's Pack. Stranger's Hat, Silver Key, 7 Day Heat Amp, 2 week Elevator Pass and a good 1000CE for some ridiculously low cost. Not really worth it at its non-sale price.
Otherwise, I'd go with the Starter Pack. Full Trinket and Weapon Slots, 5 Mist Tanks, 7500CE. Cannot go wrong.
If you're not actually after CE, go with the Elevator Pass. OOO would do well to start new players on a 3-day Elevator Pass or something to get them hooked. But I didn't just suggest that so we have nothing to worry about.
