THE LUNAR NEW YEAR EVENT IS HERE, BUT... IT'S NOT VERY GOOD? (YET)

[@chefjosephkowles575]

My wife is Chinese, and she says “lunar new year is all about what we once had and lost” so each year for the new year, we pass around pictures of the Christmas lebron pink Diamond that was stolen from us and we burn copies of 2k24.

[@Blackobra614]

LMFAO 😂😭 I remember that! 😭

[@cscott603]

Tbh I’d rather have this than a scenario where people have to pull hundreds of dollars of packs for event cards to lock in for an OP card.

[@xJC2K]

This is true

[@iTorchU]

only a few people who got that shaq actually know how to utilize him the others just mash 😭

[@xavierjones410]

Bruh I legit clamped a dm shaq with my dimond mark eton the shaq card is legit worse then some opals😂

[@ricksterbobolishious7523]

I already got a Dark Matter card, exchanged it for 800k, then got Galaxy opal Lebron. Is what I would say, if this event didn't suck.

[@DangelloWhite]

You got it from packs right?

[@lilv3966]

Remember price balls don’t stack. Get it open. Don’t sit on it

[@EA-hz9mg]

Where do I open it

[@lilv3966]

@ you need to use it in game. So change your ball. It only opens after a win and sometimes takes 8+ wins to open it.

[@alexitouch123]

if this is the whole event this is sad

[@aqustks]

2K is sad bro.

[@Freshy-tq8fs]

That 800k mt exchange is going to cause DMs on the market to significantly drop until all the DM owners obtain the DM they want then the market will naturally correct itself

[@alexitouch123]

if you think anyone is pulling that 800k envelope I’ve got a bridge to sell u

[@Rafvert]

Yet everyone will give 2k money and still play

[@WADESGOATED]

@@alexitouch123you’ll be surprised kid

[@hibachiagent0249]

I'm fine with this, wouldn't expect a snowman type event. Just expect a DM yao friday is my thinking

[@bencraft3]

Hopefully the dark matter envelope is more of a prize ball thing than a pack thing, cause if not it’s just gonna make money spenders richer and make the best cards more expensive and even more unobtainable for nms players

[@itsRicky_2K]

yes,this event will go like this: friday lunar new year drop with a special box with a chance of dark matter red envelope card and on sunday a diamond red envelope card We cant call this a real “event”

[@SleepyEyeSniper]

Don’t exchange anything until the last possible second!!!

[@mfawcett77]

True, but are we going to be allowed to stack these envelopes in the meantime or only hold 1 at a time?

[@MinusTheBran]

Reminds me a lot of MLB The Show which has like a stub lottery where you get random rarities and exchange them for stubs (the in game currency there)

[@KLil-z8n]

Got a ruby from login ball. This friday drop is going to be ludacris

[@possqua474]

Can i keep multiple prize balls in the unopened packs? Or do i have to use it before i get another???

[@Soysaucemoto]

DM Yao would make me quit the game and just play POE2

[@DaOrdinaryGamer]

It they drop the full event today this Tuesday set wouldn’t sell, so I see more coming tomorrow and Friday there will be players added for this event. What scare me is there giving use MT like never before…. So will MT become nearly useless soon cuz good cards will be special inserts

[@rastheking]

Does anyone know the significance of the number "8" in this event? Wishful thinking is maybe Kobe (black mamba) might be coming back considering its the year of the snake, but i highly doubt it

[@chefjosephkowles575]

It’s a sign of luck for the lunar new year.

[@rastheking]

@chefjosephkowles575 ok thanks. Is it connected to the infinity sign? Or is it moreso Chinese numerology?

[@salmonval7150]

@@rasthekingit’s just chinese lucky number

[@jamesmarsh2001]

Why would we get a new yao when we just got one 3.5 weeks ago for tis the season....im betting its YI, starbury and a few others.

[@malachipugh440]

Do people get excited for any event 2k does

[@rcannon1863]

Watch them have gotten Kobe’s rights back and he gonna be a “free” not free lunar event card it is year of the snake… that would explain why all the mt options start with 8 unless there is an obvious reason that I’m oblivious to. Would be a 2k thing to do ya never know then Yao be the big dark matter in packs. We also got pau this week seems a little kobeish

[@heartof2345]

You’re beyond delusional

[@dantedlp3000]

I just saw an exchange for $800k MT for one thing

[@prestonmiskimen8056]

Hey just curious if anyone can help me out, if i didn't play salary cap the first round, am I still able to get the opal?

[@user-uc8nr8qt1g]

yes there's more then 3 pieces each round
