[quote=“MarsRover;167917”]From the stream, Exedore:
“boosters work as intended. The base drop rate is so low that you have basically no chance to get a case without them”. [/quote]
ok, guess thats why 156 people who have 0 boosters between them have 28 cases between them…http://i.imgur.com/UzZXZhY.png?1
cant make this stuff up.
Yeah I got really pissed in the chat when I heard that…
Also… too large inventories… like you wot? Player buys lots of equipment cases -> lots of trade ups -> inventory gets smaller, DUH.
Like I’ve been saying few times before, SD be like “you want convenience like being able to buy multiple cases? Well, you better give us 35€/$!”
…can’t wait for Overwatch release…
So shoe said “hey guys type !raffle in chat for a shot at winning tha raffle” so then i type it and im banned for 24 hrs… WHAT THE FUCK
[quote=“MarsRover;167917”]This is bullshit. Precisely 2 points were said before the event:
Is there a link to someone representing the game making these claims? Not questioning you…just that I’ve seen it repeated numerous times…and I based my expectations on it…and it’s now clearly untrue. Specifically the 30% drop rate with 10 boosters…not even close.

They did state it. They said boosters stack linear and have the same percentage as normal cases which are 30%.
What is your Twitch name?[/quote]
whoisrandomdeath5… Can you tell me if i spammed or did anything wrong?

Yeah. I was the one who banned you for 24 hours. You were the one who typed a slur in chat which is what prompted me to ban you. You typed !raffle a couple of lines later.
And no, before you say it, I was not accidentally mistaken.

What slur was it? I dont recall it. But i’m also not judging your punishment, and im sure you arent mistaken. You are one of the best mods and your decisions are usually good. Tell me please what i said and ill watch my mouth in the future 
thanks

Yep, now they’re saying that the issue is the way that they’ve communicated with us.
We’re not stupid. Your boosters do work, well they work the way you want them to, just not as you’ve advertised them to us.
Thieves is the only PG word I can think of right now. Disgusting.
8 boosters here. Not even a single event case. I guess the boosters might increase the chance of the normal cases because I get one pretty much after every Objective match I play. And thus the more boosters you have stacked in the higher the chance for a normal case and the lower for the event ones. SD says it is working because it increases the drop rate, but not the right one. Just my thoughts. I may be wrong and I hope so…
So, after hearing the “working as intended” from the stream I gave in and upped my boosters from 5 to 10, because I really wanted a Proxy, Nader or Arty card this week. Two games later, I get a Sawbonez.
So… yeah, same old RNG, annoying, whatever - but more to the point: I played a lot of time with 2 boosters and then even more with 5 boosters. If I have 5 boosters and they really do scale linearly, then it seems slightly absurd that it’d take so many games with no drop. But, I guess this is pretty much case closed from the dev side of things - they checked, it’s “fine”, we’re “unlucky”.
So we’re full circle to complaining about RNG vs. elite cases (paid RNG!). The system needs work, but as long as people are buying the elite cases I can’t see it changing and we’ll have threads like this every event. Sad times.
@MarsRover Thanks for posting those screen grabs.
The product clearly hasn’t matched the advertising. Someone needs to acknowledge this gap and make it right.
personally i lost motivation to play after what they did, if its not big deal for them - it is for some of us. I played alot for my credits cause i was exited about this event (and i dont have alot time to play lately… some of us have work, family …etc) And when i play i usually expect something in exchange (not that i didnt get anything but they took from us credits for nothing)
P.S it would be nice if we are compensate somehow … or atleast gave us back our credits
