Case booster are bull sh!t


(Fractures) #141

My level 7 friend logged on the first day of the event and got a suspect case first game. Going to kms :frowning:

Alright alright let’s calm down… the cycle boost from what I understand is independent of the Skullsplitter trinket. You bought the trinket, and now it doesn’t matter what you use. There’s just no killfeed icon without the Skullsplitter.

Also, how exactly would you perfectly measure it if you don’t know exactly the rate cycles drop at?[/quote]

hahaha no the skullsplitter is supposed to increase cycles drop rate. and it doesnt.[/quote]

I know, but, if you already bought it you can’t test that, right? Or do you still get 20 cycles & 200 credits when you should get 22 cycles & 200 credits?

@Randomdeath it works…

Exactly that. 2 Cycles doesnt make a difference, but it does when i get 1k credits in a match because of missions. Or does it only go off of the base fee?

I would imagine it’s the base fee similarly to credit boosters.


(neverplayseriou) #146

@Randomdeath yea so it does work, u just should’ve thought about how little 10% is on such small numbers before buying the trinket.


(Randomdeath) #147

I guess. Im still pissed about the whole case booster thing tho


(FerfyDerf) #148

I know SD didn’t respond before the weekend, but let’s at least give them Monday? If I remember correctly there’s a Q&A, and then there’s a stream. If they’ll be responding about if there’s a problem that’s probably when it will be.

Let’s keep our heads on just a bit longer…


(Sinee) #149

Judging from all these comments, I am incredibly relieved and happy that I’m not participating in this event.

This whole… booster+rng credit sink is just kind of sadistic. I’m honestly surprised SD did it this way.

So it’s fine for you to ragepost, but it’s not OK for the rest of the community to comment with their own rage? It’s a public forum friend, nobody is forcing you to read the comments. Turn off your notifications if it’s bothering you that much.

Of course it’s only the base fee.

At the top of the forums you have your account name to the right of that there is a gear icon click on that and then on preferences from the drop down menu.

Some people in this thread have taken the nerd rage a little too far haha
Wait for SD to return to their office on Monday before getting your pitchforks out


(BananaSlug) #157

@kibloy my pitchfork is already broken because of commenting in all those rage threads!

Twitch chat in tomorrow’s stream will be interesting haha. Exedore’s comment from reddit pretty explicitly says they did check it out after people’s early complaints, but it kind of exploded over the weekend so hopefully they’ll take another thorough look tomorrow. Honestly I don’t expect it to be much more than a “Well… that’s luck for you!” though.

You’re definitely right that some people’s responses are a little too nerd ragey though - everyone has the right to be annoyed, but… at least compose yourself properly.

dunno if this has been answered yet cuz too many replies to read but

why are there even boosters? if they dissapear after you get a case, why not just buy a case instead? so much cheaper…
