Looted Starter Decks in LoN need better description.

[Cuz]

They need to specifically say that you do not get a chance to pick your starter deck, but that you randomly get assigned one after you claim it. I wish I would have know before wasting plat on 2 of them. Of course had I been a bit more intelligent I would have claimed one deck before buying the second as a gift for my roommate. I erroneously thought that there was no way they'd force random decks on people.

<p>I would love the ability to choose my loot card from Booster paks. This is a card game. Expect there to be randomness. <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /></p>

Well it's only a random chance between mage and fighter starter decks.  So more like a flip of a coin then anything else.  But your right.  I wish I knew that ahead of time too.  Btw, free bit of advice for anyone getting into LoN.  DO NOT OPEN BOOSTER PACKS if you want to actually play the card game.  You can do much better by trading them off for rare/uncommon cards in the trading lobby.  Some people are trying to buy a bunch of boosters hoping for loot cards and don't care about the cards so they will trade them as silly rates for unopened boosters.  You can build an amazing deck for pretty cheap as far as TCG are concerned.

I got a priest starter along with 2 boosters earlier today when killing the hunters in the last quest for bristlebane.. Took that as a good sign <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

I looted a starter deck in commonlands and got a priest deck as well.

Very Nice!My thanks to those who have confirmed.. I was told, unless it changed recently, Mage or Fighter only.  Good to see SoE has changed it they did <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
