About Ranked cases


(ASTOUNDINGSHELL) #1

So, Ranked cases they’ve got a cool skin and all, i personally don’t know since i haven’t been able to use them, you now since of the two i’ve got so far both where for Mercs i haven’t even unlocked, pretty sure most of you who have already unlocked all mercs or have the income to all out buy em all from the run don’t see much problem, there’s also those who can spend 3 hours everyday and about 6 on weekends in Ranked games.
BUT, i a pretty sure i ain’t the only person who is busy all week long and can only play on weekends, on average i can put 3 - 5 hours on weekends, depending of how fast do my salt levels reach critical levels, thus i can only get ONE case each week if i am lucky and don’t go on losing sprees [ which due to my horrible luck is commonplace ], its VERY, VERY frustrating to not just not get a Skin for a Merc you don’t have unlocked, it’s even worst when it’s a Merc you don’t even find playing [ which is again my case ], i am not sure if it was on purpose, i understand it may be in order to encourage buying more Mercs, Specially when there is people [ like a particularly Astounding shell ] who have already bought all the Mercs they are interested in and at this point are only saving up to buy Gold / Cobalt cards for Mercs they actually like or have unlocked.

I don’t know if there IS a way to fix this but i think it would be nice if we could at least recycle Special edition cards for crafting parts or Ranked Credits, because as of now I’m really unmotivated to play ranked and i am sure other’s have had similar issues, YES i will admit that Ranked can be fun, it’s nice to have teammates that can actually think, Medics that Rez and Skyhammers that don’t ask for ammo or even better, ACTUALLY COMPETENT SNIPERS, nevertheless the number of “Good games” is small compared to the number of times people who are still learning end up on my team, or duo’s leave the match.

But maybe i am just to casual.

you need to buy everyone first, skins dont matter that much

also, i unlocked everybody except stoker and sparks for free
(i bought stoker and sparks with me own money)

@GatoCommodore No, he doesnt. He has all the mercs he wants. I know several players who just buy the mercs they like during free rotation, because they dont want useless mercs in their barracks or only want missions for mercs they really enjoy.

@ASTOUNDINGSHELL I am afraid, you are looking at this whole card thing from a bit of a wrong angle. They are more like a souvenir from taking part in an event you can look at in your inventory and reminiscent about how maddening the grind was to get them. Even if you get one for a merc you have, the chances that it is one with the gun and the augments you like are so slim. Furthermore, players who have all mercs dont play with all of them. If I e.g, get a recon it is the same as getting a card for a merc I dont own, because I only got the recons to make my barracks complete.

Oh and good luck with getting enough fragments for cobalts with only 3-5 hours play time per week.

lemme guess, you want a curve line drop chance like in LoL? But the thing is… ranked isn’t here forever, just for few months, ppl want to farm farm farm

@n-x I guess you are right, i didn’t really plan on getting a cobalt, the Cobaly skins ain’t that cool looking for my taste i was planning on getting Gold, hopefully Swiss or Crown, my luck hasn’t been half bad with golds as of now.
I mean if i have to grind my hours having to play against saltlord Rhino or those unranked god tier Proxy’s [ i do hate how the Meta seems favors the squishy merc’s more but i’m just salty ], I think it would be nice to at least have a Ranked card i can maybe use on a casual lobby every so often to just look at.

@Owyn i stopped playing LoL when my laptops number key’s stopped working which was about August of last year, i have no idea what you are talking about, aside from that i get that it’s meant to be a grind but seeing as they won’t add ANY real content for a LONG time i’m seriously seeing little incentive to play ranked, i play mostly for the double credits so i can save up for Skins faster.
All i’d like is to at least get cards for Mercs I DO HAVE UNLOCKED, but considering my luck if that was to happen it would be for Aura.

Mercs are the most important part of the game. If you are active and do your missions and daily bonuses, you can get around 10,000 credits every day. So playing on weekends (assuming it’s Friday-Sunday) will give you 30k a week, that’s already enough for a cheap merc. Just play when you can, unlock all mercs and ez pz

if you play for the skin, youre playing the wrong game
