So with the old system i crafted 3 cobalt in total , some cards i kept on route as i liked what i got , with the new system i crafted none , crafted a couple of gold but didn’t feel like i was getting much for what it cost me (fragments/credits) .
Personally i prefered the older crafting system , it was something i would visit at least once a week , this new system doesn’t appeal to me at all and tbh i think i will just leave my cards to chance via RnG crates.
I crafted 3 Cobalts with the old system since I started playing over a year ago. Two of which I recycled this week. I had over 500k credits as the crafting week started. I’ve spent them all on a bunch of Silvers and Bronzes to complete my gen 2 collection. It seemed like a much more reasonable thing to do compared to 10 Cobalt rerolls.
Fragment stays the same, so as long as your credits or crafting kits are available, you can keep crafting the same cobalt over and over again like I did.
Crafted three times and got MA42 Fragment,
So besides how easy it is to make a covalt or not, I guess it’s just SD decided a different way to earn cash.
More achievement but tempts you to buy expert or elite cases = old system.
Endless crafting that makes SD rich if someone buys crafting kits over and over until they get the loadout they want = new system.

Not really since it’s not a permanent change, but just for a week. Tomorrow (today?) we’re back to old prices.
Never traded up one before but crafted a cobalt D44 excellent rifleman for kira so happy days
I haven’t tried any under either system…I figure I’m going to try for all the silvers and golds I want before I go for the really big ticket items.
I’ll be honest, I prefer the new system for getting cobalts, before it was absurd.
But the credit cost, for me, is the main problem with the new system.
I’ve crafted one, but then it hasn’t been out for that long. I think I’ll craft cobalts more frequently now due to the lower price (Yes, it is lower).
Yep, same here, 0. I’m going to go for a Fel-ix Aimee (F82 pls) when I do go to cobalt
In the old system:
H11 Proxy (fragment), 383 Sparks (fragment), MO11 Vassili (fragment), F51 Aimee, 3x G52 Aimee (2x shard 1x fragment, I traded in 2 of them) and D82 Arty (shard). That’s 8 total
In the new system:
B72 Kira (rerolled, fragment), D45 Redeye (rerolled, shard), H52 Rhino (rerolled, shard), H71 Aura (fragment) and T52 Skyhammer (shard). This is a total of 5 cards or 8 if you count rerolls
And just for the fun I’ll add stuff I unboxed from equipment cases:
T65 Thunder (shard), S83 Arty (fragment, I recycled this card) and F81 Aimee (shard)

lol the lead Phoenix on the bottom right
1 with the old, 10+ (lost the count) just this week.
But grinding while doing Trade UP felt lighter than grinding and wait to have enough fragment to craft.
@FrostyVampire Phoenix is like “WWWWWHAT ?”

Exactly how I feel , before having bad games ? go trade up a few cards and cool down , now more likely to just quit out .
I attempted to get a good cobalt ~16 times in the old system and I hated every single one I made. In the new system I only tried 3 times, and I still hate every single one. It just won’t give me a fragment one…
0 before
0 now
I always stop at silver since I like the urban camo way more than the cobalt one.
edit: I got one cobalt from an equipment case. Recycled it during the crafting week. Now I have plenty of fragments to craft more silvers 
1 before, 0 after. Seems uneconomical and I don’t really have enough credits to endlessly spin the wheel on anything above silver.
