Interesting changes coming indeed. :) I was thinking of suggesting that the Bingo board could have 'From the Exchange' squares (requiring cards purchased at the Exchange). But it sounds like you've come up with an even better way to make the Bingo squares more varied.Interesting changes coming indeed. :) I was thinking of suggesting that the Bingo board could have 'From the Exchange' squares (requiring cards purchased at the Exchange).

Now that the full explanation has dropped, there's a lot that sounds good, but the one thing I'm not too enthusiastic about is the considerably longer wait times between attempts. The rarity change is fine on its own, but both combined could result in some loooong wait times to get particular cards, even commons. Cards that may have only taken a couple of days at most before now could take upwards of a couple of months :( Oh, and I'd have picked 5 as the new limit myself, just because it's nice and round :PNow that the full explanation has dropped, there's a lot that sounds good, but the one thing I'm not too enthusiastic about is the considerably longer wait times between attempts.

Having just read the update, firstly Happy Birthday to the site! I have to admit to not being a big fan of the proposed changes. I have no issue with limiting card numbers and it will be good extending Throwback Thursdays. The bit I really don’t like is the logic of « we have lots more cards, card numbers are ever increasing, we’re going to make getting cards harder. ». As of today, there’s multiple sets live on videos so for people like me who just click through a trusty set of favourites, it is just making the collecting less fun. In the same way it’s a bit frustrating when videos that trigger a large amount of cards get untagged. (I didn’t know what the multiple tab trick was so it sounds like I’ve been missing out there!!)Having just read the update, firstly Happy Birthday to the site!

I'm not a fan of the new lockout times either, especially since they are: a) Not based on rarity b) Have no consistency to them at all Makes it even harder as well when card sets have a limit on them until they become Legacy's (The yearly F1, V8 sets being great examples). I remember when the cards first came out 10 years ago, all cards had a 24 hour lockout if missed. I was surprised when this changed, but felt this was a good setup for it. Idk the logistics of anything, but would that work again?I'm not a fan of the new lockout times either, especially since they are:

looks like im another one not a fan of the latest change, due to limit of 4 cards and having over 4000 cards, its not worth while collecting or playing the bingo game, dont get me started on booster packs, i open 2 packs and got to keep 2 cards as the rest exceeded the limit. The token limit wont take long to max out either, not a fan at all...looks like im another one not a fan of the latest change, due to limit of 4 cards and having over 4000 cards, its not worth while collecting or playing the bingo game, dont get me started on booster packs, i open 2 packs and got to keep 2 cards as the rest exceeded the limit.

Part of my original post seems not to have come through but it was mainly more of the same. for an example, I am currently locked out of two hidden cards on a 2024 Supercars video for four days and six days respectively. The only reason I know that is because I have the Card Spy. For people who don’t, it’s just futile. I agree on the 24 hour lock-out as it’s consistent and you will just know. Six days on a rare card just makes the hit chances ridiculously remote and there is no easy way of knowing.Part of my original post seems not to have come through but it was mainly more of the same. for an example, I am currently locked out of two hidden cards on a 2024 Supercars video for four days and six days respectively.

I guess my primary concern then would be with the apparent limitation for the ability to play 2 cards on a bingo board, as in my experience that feature has usually been highly important for getting the boards completed.I guess my primary concern then would be with the apparent limitation for the ability to play 2 cards on a bingo board, as in my experience that feature has usually been highly important for getting the boards completed.

Hi everyone - thank you for the feedback, it's an interesting discussion! A few points. 1. The changes have been made to made to rebalance the entire system. A lot of comments in this thread are from collectors who have 10,000s of cards, and who play in a very specific way. While the changes are also designed to help keep a high-end challenge for you, they are also about helping our new collectors start their collection with a wider range of cards. So you might be focused on the 100 cards you don't have, and that those in isolation are now more difficult to collect, the wider impact of the changes is that there are thousands of additional cards now more available to collectors. 2. The odds and lockout changes should be viewed in partnership, and along with the reintroduction of thousands of cards back into video browsing drops. While any given card may take longer to collect, a typical collector will now (on average) find 3x as many cards in a typical month. Again, the whole picture is what these adjustments are focused on. 3. I'm not sure whether the Bingo double-play was unclear, or lost in the News post, but given there is lots of conversation, let me hghlight it again. The Bingo double-play is now rate limited. The specifics of that aren't published, and it will fluctuate depending on a few metrics. But in case the concept of rate limiting isn't clear, it could be once-per-day, once-per-friend-per-week, two double plays per board, things like that. This one has been greatly informed by player data, and is being attentively monitored since coming into affect. 4. Card lockouts. Firstly, thank you specifically to @Nascar47fan who correctly pointed out that the lockout durations weren't tied to rarity. This has now been corrected. Furthermore, it seems that the randomness of the lockout durations were confusing - especially to those not using CardSpy. The following has been changed (going forward), and will be monitored. Once settled, they will be published onto the Cards > Information page for better visibility. Rarity - Miss Lockout - Hit Lockout Common - 2 days - 5 days Uncommon - 1 day - 3 days Rare - 12 hours - 2 days Mega Rare - 4 hours - 1 day Extreme Rare - 1 hour - 1 hourHi everyone - thank you for the feedback, it's an interesting discussion!

Thanks for the update and those lockout times are much, much better than what we had been seeing. The six day lockouts on misses for any card was the best example of my main frustration. This seems much better aligned as I rarely do more than two sets of « searches » a day, normally just one! Thanks again for the update and open explanation!

Currently, Throwback Thursday kicks in at 00:00h on Thursday UTC - though we are doing limited testing on having it adhere to a user's chosen timezone. CardSpy will include the legacy cards being hit when they are hittable. Note that there was a small delay today as the card drop logic didn't love being asked to deliver cards that weren't 'available', that required a fix.Currently, Throwback Thursday kicks in at 00:00h on Thursday UTC - though we are doing limited testing on having it adhere to a user's chosen timezone.

Agreed. I have lost some enjoyment in playing the bingo board too because of that. Why play some cards when you can almost predict with certainty they won't yield anything. Agreed.

OK, it's one thing to limit bingo double plays, but this is just a cheap shot: about 1 board ago I had access to 2 cards, but after trying to play the second one and having the slot already filled by then, the double play literally got taken away without even being used, and I don't even have it on this next one.OK, it's one thing to limit bingo double plays, but this is just a cheap shot: about 1 board ago I had access to 2 cards, but after trying to play the second one and having the slot already filled by then, the double play literally got taken away without even being used, and I don't even have it on this next one.

In what way? I haven't had any issues with the functionality other than the one raised by Carbonox above. On the other hand, the new rules have really reduced the amount of playing. There was a Booster Pack-only board the other day and, out of the five lines (using my second card allocation for the day!) I could have received rewards for, only one of them was completed before the Board expired. These boards used to fill up almost immediately.In what way?

Isn't it time for another monthly reward theme for a change? Last month I could chalk it up to a brief statistical anomaly, but to still not have one is getting boring. Plus it makes bingo boards worth a bit less than usual, and thumb hunts practically worthless if there's barely any chance of a card coming out to fill a TH only bingo square with.Isn't it time for another monthly reward theme for a change?
