Crafting system doesn't work!

(tranquilCover) #1

I just recycled 3 cobalts and a bunch of other cards including 4 gold 4 silver and a lot of lead and irons.
The first thing is I cant even create 2 cobalts from it because I only get about 34.000 crafting points.

More important is I can not create a single card because the game ask for weapon kits?

1.What are weapon kits?

2.why is the recycle system so unfair?
You will never be able to get any advantage from it you will have to sell more cards than you will ever get back for it.

  1. Weapon Kits are OPTIONAL in crafting. On high rarity (Silver+) crafts, you can spend a number of Weapon Kits (2 for Silver, 8 for Gold, 45 for Cobalt) to limit the craft to a Primary Weapon available to the merc. (For example: Crafting a Cobalt Proxy with 45 Weapon Kits would allow you to create a card with the Hochfir as the primary. [This would still cost 50,000 Credits or 10 Crafting Kits to craft.])

They are currently only available in Arsenal Crates, the level up reward. I saw 1 and 5 packs in one I opened earlier, and heard rumor of a 10 pack, but I can’t confirm it exists. The chances for them to drop hasn’t been announced, but that’s a discussion for another thread.

  1. Yep. Most of the threads in General over the past few days have been complaints about the system. Read some of those if you don’t want to feel alone and cheated. You can join the club in feeling cheated.

Speaking of General, this thread should probably be there.

How about you stop lying. 3 cobalts alone get you 39000 fragments. 4 golds are 8600 fragments, 4 silvers 2160 fragments. So you’ve at least 49760 fragments, possibly even more than 50k with the leads and irons. With that you can make 2 cobalts and a bunch of golds or silvers or basically as many bronzes as you like.

The new crafting system is bull shit. Weapon kits? The fuck I need a fucking weapon kit for when I fucking just traded in 10 mercs that had fucking weapons??

You don’t NEED a weapon kit - they just allow you to choose which weapon you’ll get with the craft. You can go along perfectly fine without them if you want to, just like you used to be able to.

And, for the record, with the new system Cobalts are actually cheaper to get (around 300k credits, whereas they used to be around 450k or so). Stop complaining about it.

The new recycle system is only bad for recycling Cobalts into new Cobalts. However the new crafting system has made crafting Cobalts about 3/4 as expensive as they used to be, so it kind of balances out.

It’s changed, but that doesn’t mean that it’s bad.
