Hexad bundle > Hexadic trinket?

(ThunderZsolt) #1

EDITED THE TITLE TO AVOID CONFUSION.
ALSO FFS PEOPLE, DON’T POST IF YOU ONLY READ THE TITLE DAMMIT!

Compared to the 4 euro hexads bundle, which gives 2500 hexads for the same price.

The base credit earning rate is 12/minute if you are bot scoring.
You get 10% of that as hexads.
you get 5,5% of that as a bonus, if you have the trinket, and nobody else does.
All this means that the trinked gives you 0,66 hexads each minute.

Let’s assume that you are top scoring. Then you get 14,4 credits/minute.
If everyone on the server has the trinket, you get 10% extra, which is 1,44 hexads/minute.

Best case scenario you need to play 1736 minutes to earn the same amount, which is roughly 29 hours.
Worst case it is 3787 aka 63 hours.

In reality most players get some amount in between, so they have to play like 45 hours to make it worth.
BUT the hexads bundle is instant, meaning you can start with a higher event case drop right after buying it, so the trinket is still sub optimal choice if you only have 4 euro to spend on the event, and don’t plan to play much more than 50 hours.

I personally don’t regret buying it, it looks cool and also gives some stuff for the other players I play with, but I was curious how much I have to play to make it at least on par with a bundle.
Next time it should either give 100% or be cheaper to make me consider buying the trinket though.

Well yeah, but this trinket is pretty awesome. Remember that you’re not just paying for the trinket’s effects, but the trinket itself as well. I find myself examining my gun more often to take a peak at my shiny trinket. It matches well with a few skins too, especially that special Aimee card from the Rev event!

Not overpriced. Totally Awesome Chicken Trinket costs the same but without that hexad boost :slight_smile:

I won’t chicken out

Yes, it’s overpriced. But so is everything else in the game sooooooo…

(Faraleth) #7

If you’re only buying it for it’s effect, then yes it’s probably “overpriced” in comparison to the Hexad bundles… But I wouldn’t recommend buying it for that. Buy the trinket because you want the trinket - all others in the past have been the same price, so this one is no different.

So yeah, just buy the hexad bundle if you really want the currency :stuck_out_tongue:

The hexadic trinket is the first cash money purchase I’ve made on Dirty Bomb in 2 years of playing. I did it simply as the game is tracking in a direction I like and wish to throw support the devs way other than simply contributing to the player base count.

Lol, whenever most of the players on my team are dead, I just start inspecting my gun to show off the trinket.

“Hah, you noobs are getting 1 extra hexagon thanks to me, you better be thankful”

Gotta keep in mind that you pay for a permanent cosmetic item before anything else. The additive Hexads earned during the event is just a bonus and does not reflect the costs of hexads overall. :stuck_out_tongue:

In short, you must buy it because you like how it looks. Not for the Hexads increase.

$4.99 is a chump change

SAME! I’ve had people compliment me on my beautiful skin/trinket combo and others ask me what the hell I’m doing and why I’m going rambo on the objective!

The hex bonus is massive. Three hours becomes two hours which means thirty hours becomes twenty hours… so no, buy it for the hex bonus. It’s such a big difference I don’t know how I feel about it and am really conflicted, because it is borderline abusive monetization; luckily, the price is reasonable, because otherwise, it probably would be.

So, trinket owners. Wanna take over a server and just tool around for max hex bonus? Kick non-trinket owners, and get 200%+ hex generation.

Sure, i mean i don’t need the fkn Hexes but i will glady jump in to help others who are grinding, :smiley:

what is so overpriced on 4 bucks man? You pay that for one beer. Consider this as a tip to SD for their tremendous effort ever since they split up with Nexxon.

4 bucks mean 4 beers here in pub ofc. :stuck_out_tongue:

4€ is overpriced ? I am pretty sure you pay it for junkfood everyday without a blink.

@everyone posten in the thread:

The title is misleading, it is my bad. My point is that it is a bad deal compared to the hexad bundles unless you want the trinket.

Sure, you can make the 3 hour grind 2, or buy 50 hours worth hexads for the same price.
This is NOT explained anywhere in the game, so I thought it would be helpful to share this info.

@FalC_16 @DefaultSettings it is not about the 4 euro, but the hexad bundle is a much better deal, so I would warn people that they might be better buyng those, and provide feedback for SD that the values semm off to me.

Also, in Hungary you get a beer for 1-2 euro in a bar in the capital city (sure, there are places where one beer costs 15 euro, but I won’t go there anyway) and in the hipermarket I get 8-10 beers for that price.
This is off topic though, and I already stated that I like the trinket, but if it wouldn’t look good, I wouldn’t buy it for the boost, because the hexad bundles are better for that.
