Anyone gotten one of those end of game guranteed CW loadout cases?

(N8o) #101

If I were running this game, I would have made these cases tied to XP instead of a random drop at the end of a match. Make it so you get one every 100k XP or something. Just a thought. That way, the harder you play, the more cases (guaranteed) you get and the less disappointment you feel.

On the bright side, Steam Charts says that the population has increased about 23% over the past month. This event is working if the goal is to make more people play.

The peak for today was in the 6,000’s. Pretty damn good, even if it was just people logging in for their free expert cases.

Wait till 95% of them won’t get a case and leave. Charts will be hilarious on monday

Is this serious? So some random guy gets the exact loadout he wants in CW skin but stupid people like me who’ve bought 2 elite bundles ($110 AUD) get absolute shit.

Way to piss off the people paying for the servers SD. SMH. :s

The trouble with this is that it encourages people to try and find ways to abuse XP gain. We all saw it happen when there wasn’t even a reward for it, so we know people are willing if the bug shows up. On one hand you can say the devs just need to make sure their game has no abusable XP exploits, but it’s far safer to not add the incentive for people to look for one.

That said, I agree with what you were saying. I would’ve liked to see some kind of system where your chances for a drop go up slightly the longer you’ve played until you get a case drop, then it resets that chance back to the original value. That keeps the incentive to play and the fun element of getting a special drop, but doesn’t screw people over who have terrible luck.

another uneventful day in dirty bomb. purchased another 100 cw cases, no cw loadouts. played for hours, received a handful of cw cases, all junk; not a single event case, again. sigh… either objective really does have something wrong with it, or my luck is heinously bad :confused:

(neverplayseriou) #106

Might just buy the 10 case bundle just so I have a card, but if I get trash it’s also the last money I put into db.

(Backuplight) #107

And this is why games make super low drop rates on things that are available in the cash shop and in game. I refuse, though mostly because I know I won’t feel like it’s money well spent to get 10 silvers and a CW for a merc I don’t use or with guns/augments I dislike.

(neverplayseriou) #108

yup, not spending anything in db anymore, 25 euro’s for 6 silvers, 3 golds and 1 cw+ the guaranteed one.

at a totall of 20 elite cases and no cobalts now.

(FabiopxK) #109

@neverplayserious I’ve bought 2x 10 CW Elite Cases, I did get 2 cobalts (cough cough the exact same Phoenix loadout I had just got in Obsidian looool and a stark Stoker one) and 2 CW, + the 2 guaranteed ones, and the only CW loadout I got that’s usefull was one that I got from a regular case, M61 Stoker… I also bought a long time ago, 10 of those expert cases A when they were released because I couldn’t afford the Elite ones and really wanted something nice mainly for Fletcher…useless to say I didn’t get a single fletcher card, but I got 7 Bronze aura cards from those 10 cases so, YAYYY, GO ME! loool

So I think you can understand my frustrations at this point…playing my t*ts off to get a drop so that maybe the number of usable CW cards I own goes up by 1, and never get one, while some really low level guys (by being very low level I assume they haven’t spent a single cent in the game yet) are flashing their brand new CW loadouts…

(neverplayseriou) #110

And a few matches after spending money I get an event case, this doesn’t really seem rng to me…

(Lieutenant_Falcon) #111

Got one with a BR16 Skyhammer loadout. The BR16 is awesome

(FabiopxK) #112

I have officially played for a whole level now (35 to 36), no drops. Thanks SD, you can shove your CW cases where the sun doesn’t shine! :slight_smile:

(MarsRover) #113

Same here, but 34->35 :slight_smile:

(darlingClaymore) #114

Alright lets be real, its a F2P game, they need to make money. It even says lucky players will receive a event case.

(VincentRJaeger) #115

Im having my balls broken about this. Two CW cards from the normal cases. Both of them are Rhinos, my least played and least preferred merc. Neither of them has Nitros.

(MilkyBear) #116

Same here, but 34->35 :)[/quote]

same here 30 to 31, and after 2 days of hard work, still nothing. Seeing a bunch of low level running around with CW cards make me sad :frowning:

(DMaster2) #117

What money do they get from FREE random case drops? If they at least gave one to everyone like the Phoenix event then it would be fine. Like this is garbage.

(sentimentalDime) #118

@darlingClaymore
There are TONS of ways they could make just as much, if not more, money, WHILE, keeping more of their player base much more satisfied.

(Backuplight) #119

This is totally true, but at the same time, a free to play game should generally offer an appealing way to get whatever their limited items are. It’s not like they’re saying “Here’s some limited edition cases for £2/$3 each, buy them while you can… or hope to get lucky with a drop!” They’ve made them too rare. I managed to get one from my 300+ regular cases this month, and it’s a shitty Fragger loadout. Seems they’re just trying to appeal to the people that want to spend a lot once in a while on the game, and not the people who would spend a smaller amount regularly.

@darlingClaymore Says the guy with 3 drops. lol.
