Clarification on the CW event end

(Lumi) #1

So I was under the impression that the CW event would last for a full month after the update, meaning that after the 27th of November there would be no more CW cases. But it seems to me know that the end of the event will be after the three day Black Friday Weekend event. Or am I wrong?

Will we be able to buy CW cases in the store still until the 30th? Or will the only source of CW loadouts be from the guaranteed CW cases drop at the end of matches, meaning that the last day we can buy CW cases in the store is still the 27th?

Does anyone have a clear and definitive answer to this? Any ideas @MissMurder ?

Yes, our wallets need to know!!

I am assuming that they will still be able to be purchased after the 27th. That would be a missed opportunity if they ended it and THEN had the Black Friday Sale.

Probably hint of salt will run until the end of the “meltdown” event…but more importantly is thunder released tonight? or is just more unneeded server downtime to nerfs or buffs that really dont need to happen?

Really wish they had “backup” servers so we can continue playing while they update, the “maintenance” always seem to land on the week where i finish work at a normal time.

So I’m still waiting for someone to actually reply to this… @MissMurder

@Lumi It’s Thanks-Giving in the US today, a lot of staff are away for the holiday. MissMurder was out-of-office since the 25th.

From my understanding the cases will only drop and be available for purchase until the 27th. There has been no mention of them being purchasable after this date - the only confirmed thing is the drop chance for 100% CW cases over the weekend. I would prepare and buy the cases you want before the “end time” on the 27th to be safe.

Failing that, I will try and get an answer from Shoe first thing tomorrow. :slight_smile:

Hmm but the announcement says that the CW event ends 30th. It also says that there will be steam and ingame sale starting with the meltdown event…I was actually expecting to have some discounts for the regular CW cases :slight_smile:

Thanks, completely skipped my mind that they were out of office. In any case, would be great if you could ask Shoe tomorrow. Don’t know if I’ll be home for the stream, otherwise I’ll ask myself.

the only confirmed thing is the drop chance for 100% CW cases over the weekend. what is the drop rate?

(FalC_16) #10

@Faraleth I just want to really double check, is it really so that after the timer stops, the regular CW cases will disappear from the in game store?

(Faraleth) #11

To clarify: THE CONTAINMENT WAR EVENT ENDS ON THE 30TH.

This likely means that the CW cases will still be available until this date, this includes drops and in store. I can’t get on skype right now, so I can’t ask Shoe, but I’ll try and get a proper answer as soon as I can!

Just opened 80 cases just in case the cases aren’t available tomorrow.

62 Leads, 12 Iron, 3 Bronze, and 3 silver. Pretty much as expected according to the stats aside from getting too many silvers.

Here’s hoping for a CW case over the weekend to give me something better than my BR-16 skyhammer CW card.
