If boosters are "working as intended" then....

(ImSploosh) #1

Why does it appear only people with either no boosters or 10 boosters are receiving cases?

I did receive 1 case with 4 or 5 boosters after the first or second game in the second week, but it seemed like everyone did (maybe a sorry from SD?) I’ve been looking on the forum more and more and continue to see people with 5+ boosters, which should increase their odds, not get a single drop. I’m at 7 currently and have yet to see a case. Working my way up to 10 before the week ends is going to be difficult.

Obviously something is not working right. People with no boosters are getting more drops than people with boosters (excluding 10)? The other events were definitely a lot better for getting cards. I received more by just purchasing a few hundred cases in total throughout the events. Ended up with 3-5 cards in each event.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the trinkets and the idea of the Rev event, but the execution, not so much. Just wish we had a bit more clarity about how these boosters work, because going off of what others are saying/showing, they aren’t increasing your chances for a case until you get to 10 boosters.

These boosters are not working properly. I’ve had 7 boosters for over a week with a stupid amount of playtime and not a drop. Had 10 boosters multiple times and got it within 1-3 matches.

Why not just remove the boosters and let players purchase guaranteed cases from the shop for a certain amount of credits or cycles. It makes the event really simple to understand so that everyone can actually enjoy the event instead of worrying about why RNG is not working in their favor. I just don’t understand why the devs are so fascinated with gambling and RNG.

Don’t have a clue whether it’s working or not, not that bothered personally. Despite this I got 1 case halfway through week 2, after i got that drop I bought 5 boosters and have had no luck since then (in around 60 hours of gameplay).

My last case with 10x boosters took me ~2 hours to drop.

Only had drops so far with 0 boosters (first match at first week) or 10 boosters (first 2-3 matches on weeks 2 and 3 once hitting the 10th booster). No clear idea on time played with 1-9 boosters but I could estimate it to around 20+ hours.

They are not working as intended. But we can’t prove shit. Or we’ve been fooled again.

Well, they are working as intended.
They intend to screw us over, buy 10 or GTFO.
Have played more than 100H over the past 3 weeks now, with 3 boosters.
Meanwhile, my friends bought no boosters, play a lot less, and got a case on their first game of the week.
I think you can guess how many free cases I got…

Meanwhile the boosters work as “intended” as in: pissing people off and just buying elite cases instead.
Well SD you got what you intended, I bought 3 10packs and a 5pack… can I please have one free case now? :frowning:

But yeah, wait till that guy comes into the topic that calls us all “ENTITLED” brats.

I don’t think anyone is going to share that sentiment, lest they drown in an endless stream of Dislikes.

Yeah, especially because we’re not children and Splash Damage aren’t our parents. We are customers, many of us paying customers. We are entitled to know what is going on with the game we’re trying to support.

Even if you’re not a paying customer, you’re still supporting the game just by playing it. A playerbase is the most important thing in a free to play game.

I hate that argument because it just doesn’t apply to this. The people saying it are probably the ones with no boosters, minimal playtime, and tons of cases. Or those guys throwing out hundreds of dollars on Elite cases (which I appreciate of course because they help big time with supporting the game).

That quote problem is here from the start. Still not fixed :smiley:

I got one case which was dropped during the bugged case dropping at the first day of the week.

(FalC_16) #15

new rotation starts today…I have enough cycles to buy 10 boosters…the question is, should I? :smirk:

(Docta) #16

yes,it has some of the best mercs, alteast to me.

(Freezer_Boss) #17

@FalC_16 “boosters are working as intended” sooo…

(FalC_16) #18

Good good…your profile pic says all though ^^

It think I will take the chances and buy them. May the RNGesus is with us all.

(ImSploosh) #19

Finally got a case after reaching 10 boosters… It sucks that I wasted so much on them when all I wanted was a Vassili. Ended up with a crappy Fletcher. Not even a usable card for me.
