Lots of people reporting that they are getting legendary in their first 10 packs since blizzard implemented new pack rules, even though they opened these type of packs before. Myself included, few people from battle-net friendlist too, lots of people on reddit.
my stats:
ungoro - 5th pack legendary (jungle giants) - opened 3 ungoro packs since my last legendary.
classic - 10th pack legendary (illidan) - opened 0 packs since my last legendary
gadgedzan - 6th pack legendary (wrathion) - opened 6 packs since my last legendary
old gods - 4th pack legendary (malkorok) - opened 1 pack since my last legendary.
Tl;dr: If you have some gold to spare - buy 1 of each available pack until you open a legendary, now happens withing 10 packs for some reason. BUT, don't do it if you think you might regret for not getting a legendary within 10 packs. Its not guaranteed, but surprising amount of people reporting it to be working, try at your own risk.
Did a quick little test, went and opened 10 Un'goro packs (not opened in a long time) and didn't get a Legendary. As the edit on the Reddit link shows, this is coincidence or some other change but it's definitely not a guaranteed legendary in the 10 (until Frozen Throne).
This wasn't my experience. I opened 15 Un'Goro packs and didn't get a legendary. This was around 6:45 EDT, NA server, a few hours after the change was announced.
bug confirmed- I opened 5 of each pack type old gods, gadetzan, ungoro, and classic, and got a legendary in each. yogg, genzo, hemet, and ysera respectively
Nope not a bug, you just didn't read the patch notes correctly. The free legendary in 10 packs does not apply to any packs of a set that you previously opened, regardless of how long it's been since you've opened one. If you've get opened one ungoro pack, then the free legendary won't be there.
You just did not read my post correctly. What i mean is lots of old players who opened these packs already befor reporting that they are still getting legendaries in first few packs. Not guaranteed but there's definitely something going on here.
10 Goro packs opened (3 held before patch, 7 purchased afterwards) Legendary after the 5th pack opened. Also a ton of epics (actually glad I did that. Lots of epics I needed and a golden epic)
10 Classic Packs (5 held before, 5 after) 10 packs opened.. 0 legendaries. Note that I bought the 5 packs PURELY for this test. That's 5 Knights packs I'm not going to get thanks to you. Be thankful! [/tsundere]
Confirmed: no bug exists. It MUST be a set you never touched before the patch started (the Goro experiment was just RNG luckiness).
If you've never touched one of the sets (i.e you are new and, say, missed out on an old set completely) then I can see the idea of going 10 packs right now to get a guaranteed legendary (if you don't then IMMEDIATELY go to Blizzard about it because you are probably going to get compensated)
Otherwise, feel free to open packs you are holding now but focus on buying Knights.
I have evidence contrary to there being a bug. I had 15 Un'Goro packs saved up from my arena runs and got no legendaries. I did not purchase them with gold. Is that the difference?

Funny, just wanted to start this thread.
After opening a legendary in my 5th classic and 6th ungoro pack I tried to see if I would get one in the other sets as well in the first 10 packs.
7th for MSOG and 10th for WOTOG.
But if there are reports that contradict this then it must be just lucky I guess

Put your faith in the light!
Yeah, I read it correctly and was therefor not expecting it. and OP is calling it a bug for the same reason.
But since strange things happened lately ...
Anyway, save to say it is not guaranteed after multiple people experiencing other things
You sure this isn't just good RNG?
alot of people get this, me included

I think there's something to this. Just bought 5 packs of each type available with gold, got a legendary in all.
10 Goro packs opened (3 held before patch, 7 purchased afterwards) Legendary after the 5th pack opened. Also a ton of epics (actually glad I did that. Lots of epics I needed and a golden epic)
10 Classic Packs (5 held before, 5 after) 10 packs opened.. 0 legendaries. Note that I bought the 5 packs PURELY for this test. That's 5 Knights packs I'm not going to get thanks to you. Be thankful! [/tsundere]

One does not simply walk into Mordor,
unless they want to be the best they can be.
Got a golden millhouse and regular onyxia within 10 classic packs, caverns below within 5 ungoro, and 2/2 warrior dude within 6 for gadgetzan.
Definitely not pure luck, that's for sure.
If you aren't playing Paladin, you're doing it wrong.
HAppened to me with Old gods and Mean Streets in first 6 packs each. Classic didn't work after open 12.
Confirmed to me for 4 different sets, but my brother didn't open his legendary in 13 classic packs.
With my three accounts I tested this with all of the packs you can buy with gold.
3 Un'Goro: Awaken the Masters
3 Un'Goro: Clutchmother
7 Un'Goro: Waygate
5 Classic: Cho
8 Classic: Illidan
7 Classic: Barron Geddon
2 Whispers: Princess
9 Whispers: Evil Hogger
4 Whispers: Evil Hogger
7 Mean: Genzo
7 Mean: Krul
10 Mean: Krul
Fucking confirmed, although the duplicates are a little strange. I might even buy wild packs if I can get a guaranteed GvG or TGT legendary.

I dont think so clueless, all my ungoro are also from arena and I got 4 leg in 26
Vote for my Card Design Submission! I love this one!
im starting to think there is a set number of leg you can get and not the first 10 you can get since in my first 10 classic I didn't receive any
Maybe blizzard put in some secret thing where you get a few leg in your first 20 or so pack
Also Ungoro pack I opened more than 10 before getting my first leg, then from then the leg come really close to each other

ROFL I got golden Nzoth from the first pack. It can just be random though. . .
