So this past week I have experienced both ends of luck.
Before the patch I had collected a -ton of Iron loadouts to use as trade-ups into Stoker loadouts. I felt confident that I would get them all. Out of personal preference I wanted the T65. I started trading up and after about fourteen to fifteen tries I had all cards except the T65. Out of stubbornness, RNGesus be damned, I decided I will get that last card by keep trading up! So far I am up to creating fourtyone bronze loadouts and trading duplicates further, but still no T65.
At the other extreme, my outcome from CW equipment cases has been exceptional. I got a gold, a silver and a bronze loadout for different mercs. And with the introduction of stats I discovered, to my own surprise, that I had actually been performing very well on Rhino. I did not play in the weekend, so I have only opened one, perhaps two dusin, as I only get the CW equipment cases as drops, and use my credits on regular discounted equipment cases, because I thought ' it’ to those CW skins and their horrible drop chance, let alone get one I want. I just got the Rhino R93 CW, which is the loadout I have almost exclusively been using on him!
Both these outcomes feels unfair. The first to me, the second to others. The system needs to have fairness built in and not rely on pure RNG, (preferably not rely on it at all.) Stop this scheme of divide and conquering!
