(Mc1412013) #41

I hope if they do them they don’t make the festive load out cards .01 chance making them inposible to get like the cw cards I tried so hard to get and couldn’t get

Also I can’t wait for a Nader and expecially A proxy holiday card. I guess one of the medics will be rudolph since they can light the way for rhino claus sleigh with the sparks from defibrillators.

Yeay, trinkets instead of real content… Wait a minute, I didn’t mean to say yeay, I meant WTF?


(gg2ez) #43

Finally, an event where people are rewarded for playtime.


(Faraleth) #44

@Lumi dude, there is a whole list of other things there. You’re picking out some tiny comp rewards and extra cosmetics against the rest of the large improvements? :confused:


(DMaster2) #45

Heh i’ll agree when i’ll hear the details about the christmas themed loadouts.


(DMaster2) #46

By the way i hope this update will fix the mission refill bug because it’s unbearable now. I fail to remember the last time it refilled the next time it was supposed to. Even right now they didn’t refill…


(brennanfreak) #47

I really want that lantern.

Talking about large improvements is stretching it…

Whatever criticism you may be trying to come up with is honestly pretty ridiculous, this is the exact sort of thing we have been asking for. An improved Competitive mode and a reason to play it, it’s exactly what we ordered. Stop being such a pessimist, at least until the update comes out.

Well, the stream round-ups don’t exactly have the full patch notes in them…

We’ll have to wait and see. Trinkets and stuff like that are still a big step forwards in terms of potential monetization.

Although I agree I gotta ask what “Large improvements.”

I don’t see notes.

If you’re Cobalt 1 right now after the reset does that mean when you do your placements you’ll skip gold into Cobalt 3? Or is everyone basically getting placed into Gold 5 after placements?


(Dog) #53

I really hope the holiday cases give cards that have the mercs wearing ugly sweaters.


(XavienX) #54

60 HOURS??? HOLY SHIT, THAT’S 5 HOURS A DAY THROUGHOUT 12 DAYS… GODDAMN.


(N8o) #55

What an amazing change. Seriously, looking forward to this.


(N8o) #56

Nah, chances are they will fix the placement system to be a bit more even.

@Zack @RazielWarmonic said every one will be reset to “no rank” (even have to redo the placement matches) every single season. So be prepared to be rolled by unranked “elite/cobalt” 5 stacks every season until every one gets ranked again…

I’d much prefer a reset to the lowest rank in your current tier, keeping the players more evenly matched every season. As it is now, I can only see this rewarding elite players while lesser players get nothing, effectively removing the incentive for non top tier players to play comp over pub.


(brennanfreak) #58

You got break right? RIGHT!?


(RyePanda) #59

Yeah, put still, that’s a TON


(Gung-ho) #60

I hope these ranked competitive matches aren’t going to to be evil on waiting times for us Aussies. I can see myself queuing in US West already.
