I’d say we start this event all over again from week 1 so people actually can get an event-skin for their favourite mercs. Proxy, Nader and Arty is some of the most played mercs in this game after all, and Sawbonez is probably up there too after the Humble Bundle.
Also, do I get a refund for my smashed pc aswell?
Dont hope too much the only thing you will get is, “ahhh too bad for your luck huh try to play more next week for the next merc” Im never spending a cent on this game again. I wont support such fraudulous liars.

More importantly though, the way this matter is being handled simply is an insult to dedicated players who have spent hours trying to get their cards. They treat us like we are the dumb players who don’t understand the basic concepts of RNG and are just a salty bunch of idiots.

That’s it. It’s no longer about the boosters itself. Week one is almost over, saved up credits went into boosters instead of cases, so no loadouts for four favourite mercs. And all we hear is “working as intended, but not as advertised” and still no explanation of how they are supposed to work or what exactly was not told us right.
Additionaly, if something is falsely advertised, people should have gotten a chance to refund their stuff.
But all we get is basically a big “F’$§ off” and the middle finger…
Ok there is no way these boosters work on event cases. I have played 15 games tonight and received 14 regular cases. Yes, literally only one game where I did not receive an ordinary case. I have never ever had this many cases in my life. It’s usually one every 4 or 5 games if even that. Something is definitely not adding up here.
[quote=“OmaGretel;168102”]@FireWorks It’s not just about boosters not working. First off, the first week of this event is almost coming to an end, and people who want loadouts for this weeks mercs are starting to be nervous and want their voices to be heard, because they have no fair chance of getting one of the event cases.

If what they had advertised was even half way true, there are probably a dozen people in this thread alone who should have gotten a case with more than 99.9% probability, considering the amount of boosters and time played. But yeah, it’s just bad luck …
I want compensation for this, but more importantly I demand a public apology for treating the players like a bunch of idiots.

Totally agree mate!
I and many others speculate that the boosters do not improve the chance for a special case but do improve the chance for a normal case, which would explain a lot.
Can anybody with 10 boosters and no drops post me his steam ID so I can relay it for checking?

well after all we didnt through away so much credits for normal cases
10 boosters here. 31 games last night. 23 normal cases, 0 special. Same drop rates. Work as intended. Linear growth of percentage. Sorry, but muh arse SD.
Yeah, boosters seem to affect normal case drop rate… Can’t keep up with all the leads
Oh well… We need someone to check this… @stayfreshshoe @RazielWarmonic
There’s a developer request out for SteamID’s of users experiencing problems. PM Shoe or Raz.
Just checking in here.I decided to up my booster to 10 after they said that they are working as intended,pretty much nullifying any chance of reimbursement.I got a special edition case in 45 minutes or so.Previous to this I had spent about 30+ hours at 5 booster and I didn’t want to risk going into the next rotation with a bunch of mercs I don’t play.
So yeah,30 hours at 5 then pretty much instantly at 10.Five boosters should have been equal to half the drop rate of a full stack but I don’t think that;s the case.
Just got a case drop with 9 boosters active, 5 days of nonstop playing.
… Of course it’s a shitty Sawbonez, but at least these cases actually exist.

How many standard cases would you estimate you get in 30 hours?
Edit: removing part of post that is covered in your last sentence.
Fireworks I have had two 100% drops, and I am only using 4 boosters, so I’m not a good example. But the point I was trying to make any way is that since applying my boosters I have had no luck at all. Like within 10 games and no boosters I had 2 drops, and since applying my boosters I have played approx 100 games with no drop. I’ve just passed my info along myself though as I do think it is odd how many normal cases I am getting.
I have just been watching Henkthepenk’s stream for the last 3 hours and he said he is only using 2 boosters. I asked him because I noticed he was getting a case nearly every single game as well. All ordinary cases though. The last three games I watched he had three cases in a row.
Bed for me, will check back in at some point tomorrow.

Its hard to say really,but I would guess 30-40.
Edit:I want to add that my 30 hours is based on gaming sessions,not in game time.
