It would nonetheless make sense if they were given as a bonus to those purchasing an upcoming Humble Bundle.

I’m betting they’re coming with the new humble monthly. Just to make people regret to not have subscribed…[/quote]

Oh gawd, I hope they don’t screw it up like the Obsidian Phoenix giveaway. I want clear notification, incentive, and a way to say “thanks”, not just a “buy this bundle with games you probably don’t care about just to get skins.”

1. There will definitely be more merc released AFTER the current announced ones, however they will likely slow down to less than every month, due to work on other game content.
2. They understand the drop-rate is perhaps a little low for the Containment War event cases (0.3%) and a higher drop-rate is up for consideration on possible future events.
3. Loadout card trading is NOT in the works right now, it is simply an idea on the roadmap. However, this is because of other priorities which include “public matchmaking and another map”.
4. They “want to make levelling more desirable”, so we may see some improvements to this in the future. Sounds like the levelling system is definitely here to stay, too.

1. “Other game content”? I thought it was just because it’s hard making new mercs.
2. A bit low, hah.
3. Public matchmaking already exists…? Gonna need some clarification there @Faraleth
4. Let’s hope it’s good.

@CCP115

1. Well it’s partially to do with the fact that making brand new mercs is a lot of work, but there are definitely other priorities too. Such as new maps, and more

2. That was my poor wording - sorry

3. When she said “public matchmaking” I believe she was referring to actual matchmaking features for more balanced pub matches (like comp matchmaking) and possibly the public party/buddy feature.

4. Hopefully! I think they definitely have some good plans for it

Oh my World.

I mean, I can understand new merc like turtle and aimee takes a lot of time because deployable shield and third eye cam is quite hard to balance, Yes, devs gotta make those abilities useful. Right.

But I just can’t get why Thunder isn’t out til now. I love the Stoker but he took way too long, considering he was in Closed Beta too. I mean, really. I may be wrong, but there won’t be so much huge balance shockwave because of just one russian dude with flash bang, second largest hit box with only extra 10 hp than Fragger, and 80 rounds bad ass machine gun, right?

I understand big heavy weapon dude won’t be popular than those sexy female mercs since SD have to sell those mercs for money, and only few loves him like me. yes. then why don’t SD just release him quick? an every month delay? my goodness…

I have no idea how long do I have to taste vicarious satisfaction with offline server MK.46.

I love this game so much, I’m quite good at this game, but man, even waiting a single update makes me painful. GMT +9.00 here, so I have to taste my update after one day while others play it immediately…

Just one single Stoker took that much, and Thunder is about to take over 1 year or even cancelled, right? Who knows.

Please just kill me man…

way tired of waiting, so may be I’ll just have to expect the li~~~ttle bit of hope about Timik and Stark AR’s change.

so damn sick of playing Fragger instead of Thunder, so now I gotta go play Stoker again and again…

Here’s to hoping Aimee won’t be Vaseline with different appearance with less viable ability.

“You have concerns about the general poor RNG from every case that is in the game? How about we do another shitty case with a ridiculously low chance to drop the event loadout that is obviously random for a random merc on top of that? You will get silvers unless you are extremely lucky or spend $100. It’s like any other case before. Cool, right? No? Oh, how unexpected. We didn’t think it would be bad! We will fix it for another event. You know, like increase the chance from 0,3% to 0,6%. Cool, right? No? Oh, well for the third event we will surely prepare something special! A case that has the chance of 1% to drop your event loadout! Cool?”

They always “understand”, they always “will look into” but they always do the same choice every single time. It’s a slap in the face to every DB player. I’m fed up with their explanations like “oh really? We didn’t think it would be so bad. We will fix that… but for now we are waiting for the whales to purchase our ridiculous cases because they can spend any amount of money for skins, so why we would cater to the rest of the playerbase. We don’t need your peasant money.”

Somewhat it makes sense that they cater more to the paying player base than the non-paying one as they are the ones funding the game for us all. But there needs to be a balance. Once all non-paying players have been driven away, I doubt that the odd 50 or so “whales” will stick around for each other’s sake…

@Lumi
My point is that they reject the money they could get from a wider audience. They prefer to rely on those few dozen whales that are fine with spending 25 euros/dollars for a guaranteed event skin with a random loadout. While those who are not fine with its price are stuck with a very low chance to get the event skin at all. So in the end, those elite cases will cost me the same if not more to get the event card.

There is just too high possibility of getting silver loadouts that are a waste of money. Getting silvers with credits is easy, so every euro/dollar that results in a silver loadout is wasted for me.

The chance for golds and cobalts should be low. I’m okay with that. However the event cards should be more accessible since they are supposed to hype up the update and differentiate the time we are playing in DB from other periods, right?

Guess how many people with the event loadouts I have seen so far on the European servers?
ZERO.
