[quote=“diabolicalKeyboard;167615”]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…[/quote]
Because the cases only have 1% for a Special loadout. Basically you can get 1.000 of them and not get a single card, while boosters provide a safe one per ~40 normal cases.

You wish. If only they worked
I don’t think anyone should participate in this event. It’s kind of an evil event designed to bleed you dry of your hard earned credits. The skins aren’t even nice looking enough for the credits some of you are pouring into it for nothing.
1 booster costs over 10,000 credits. 10,000 credits is just 1000 cycles, and a booster is 1250.
10,000 credits for one booster. Not even the cheapest cycles pack gives you enough. When they said compiled, 10 gave you only a 30% drop chance. On top of the fact it’s a 1/4 chance you’ll even get your merc, 1/9 you’ll get the loadout you want as well I presume.
Just… don’t bother guys. I’m not. I’m just trading up for Aimee. Bought the skull splitter trinket because I like it better than the ones offered in the event… And I’m perfectly happy and stress free.
Honestly, the skins are fucking ugly. It’s not worth the trouble. I’m just playing and accumulating a tiny bit of cycles as I go. I may buy one trinket at the end if I get enough cycles just by playing normally but other than that, fuck it.
So you buy 10 drop boosters… 1 booster is over 10k credits. Let’s say you’re lucky enough to get a case. Then you gotta hope that it’s your merc cause you have a 1/4 chance to get it within that week. Then you got 1/9 chance to get the loadout you want.
Would’ve been interesting when I used my credit card to purchase something and I would’ve received my item there was a 5% chance that you guys would receive my payment. Didn’t get my money? Oh well… shit happens, right? Better luck next time. Thanks for the free item though! Not only that but there is a problem with the RNG system. I have yet to get my cobalt Vassili that I’ve wanted since day 1 after 700 hours of gameplay and credit dumping. I have just now, not too long ago, got the gold version of the card I want which I am keeping PRECIOUSLY until I get my cobalt in what… Maybe a few years? Hopefully DB will still be relevant to me.
Is it that hard to come up with shit that when you buy it it’s yours? I’m not talking about half-assed trinkets… although it is a nice thing and I’m happy we’re taking a step in the right direction with the skull trinket meaning I am getting what I’m paying for… but I’m talking about things that looks nice and deserves my money.

You know what? I agree with this…
This is very very true…
@Randomdeath I guess I could understand the effort people are putting into it, and the costs (still would seem too expensive to me though but anyway…), if the skins were like… unique and different mesh/clothes like the founders skins.
These are literally just another reskin job. Nowhere near worth the credit amount and effort and work you guys are putting into it to accumulate enough credits. They’re acting like what they’re offering is rare beautiful diamonds, and it just isn’t. lol
I’ve cracked open some texture capturing programs to mod video games for shits and gigs, and they’re putting way too much cost on something that took very little effort for them to do. Reskinning shit and making a new texture in photoshop isn’t rocket science.
Give me something unique and nice like a founder’s card, then I might give a flying donkey dick about it.
Agreed, the skins are nothing special at all.
The real issue here is that people (like myself) have paid their hard earned money for credit boosters, specifically to have lots of credits for this event.
Honestly I’m feeling ripped off, and disrespected.
You’ve wasted my money, and much more importantly, my time.
Are SD / Nexon even going to bother responding to this thread?

I havent seen the founders cards. But honestly new mesh + textures doesnt seem that much harder than making a texture anyway. I make a few csgo skins… They suck but if ONE 16 YEAR OLD can make a WHOLE SKIN! BY HIMSELF!! I just think 3 guys said “Well shit im bored… Hey lets make up an event so i can get a raise” and thats that
I don’t know why people are making such a fuss over the skins. Tbh I think they look great, but not as good as the CW ones, so I’m not bothered by them. I’ve already got two, both on mercs I don’t like, so I’ll never use them, but they add to the collection so I couldn’t care less.
The case boosters do seem a little odd to me though. I recieved two cases from “random drops” within my first 10 games after the update came out, and since then after applying 4 boosters and playing a litlte more than 80 games (yes I am counting lol) with boosters I haven’t had a single one yet.
No boosters + 10 games = 2 skin cases
4 boosters + 82 games = 0 skin cases
So unless I’m the unluckiest person alive, I think the boosters are a total waste of money as well, especially considering their price. But that is RNG for ya. There’s still another 4 weeks to go, I wouldn’t panic just yet.
Maybe the cases DO drop when you dont have boosters. And without the boosters the rng is fuckin fine, then WITH the boosters the rng addition from the boosters colliding (instead of changing) the rng stuff with the non booster case drop function, and it causes no case drops at all? I know jack shit about game design, and im just throwing theories out. rng might work fine on the booster, might work fine w/out booster. but together they shit. And that sucks because now i have a booster (just one) and if this is true, no more cases for me :C

Making a whole new player model is a WHOLE whole lot more work than making a texture.
You have to model the low poly mesh, unwrap its UVs, rig it to the skeleton, make the high poly and then bake that down onto the low poly. And do that all to the honestly pretty high quality levels of DBs player models, its a large chunk of work, not comparable to texture edits, at all.
that’s wired now i want to remove my 4 boosters … is it possible at all?
i got Event case in my first game (was SW if i remember correct) after update and since i get 4 boosters nothing

Anyone know if the Obsidian card in the event pack will have a unique skin?

If it was then it would be a major selling point - first alternative model since Founders. No sense to keep it hidden. Maybe we will be suprised, but from what we know now it’s just a reskin like Phoenix.
Yep. I haven’t bought the Vengeance pack…but I would do it if the Obsidian card was unique. Otherwise, just getting a standard skin with the Obsidian colors is…not very appealing.

Unofficial response, yeah? Still… massively disconcerting if they decided to hide elements of how this works.
