I bought a few boxes. no hydra for me.. either way.. got many ancient skill books. leveling up ftw.

I wonder if they nerfed the rate of getting the Hydra, compared to other boxes?

I've been playing a fair amount since it came out, and I've only see one pop-up for a hydra. Granted, they got rid of the popups while in FL, but still, I've seen pop-ups for a lot of clothing.

I've also only seen two in game (compared to just about every other person with a Mars Rider or Uni)

Still 10€/$ for one box?

Yup, 999 gcoins for a box.

Personally, I spent $30 and bought 300 Atlas ore (the replacement for ori stones), got about a billion gold from selling them and bought a Mars Rider off the market.  Not as good stats, but close and looks much cooler.

it really depends on the person. if that person if kinda vain, then looks come first :D

vanity maybe but yeah...   mars rider looks way cooler than the hydra...

hydra really doesnt look good but i guess if looks good with either nix or god gear... mars rider goes well with gothic. i still say mars is a whole lot cooler looking... much like griffin vs mercury rider :D

exactly.. but i go for stats than looks. so gonna grab me 1 of those hydra one way or another. lol

same here no hydra but still got ancient skill for my newly added mercenaries... i just change my formation to adapt in the flow of FL O_O

the hydra mount is still effing wierd, especially when it walks, the heads juggle in a very wierd way

i'll prefer with the mars rider, way much cooler
