[IMPORTANT] Regarding the Trade-In System

(LifeupOmega) #101

Everything in the system needs to be cheaper. People just aren’t going to give up 3 cobalts - even if they’re nigh on useless. The cost is ridiculous too, let’s be real, you’re not even guaranteed the card you want.

cobalt + gold + fee = new cobalt for chosen merc
cobalt + fee = same card but with chosen skin
gold + silver + fee = random card for chosen merc
gold + fee =same card but with chosen skin
silver + bronze + fee = new card for chosen merc
etc, etc

btw i think changing skins is good idea any way

thats my idea

I always thought the 1:1 Trade In with a high Credit Fee would be the way to go.

But thinking about the process of achieving your desired loadouts destroyed that concept.

Think about it:
Usually you have your favorite merc and you want that cobalt card for him/her(let’s say Sparks).
If you had a 1:1 trade in mechanic, you just need to trade up to a cobalt and then reroll until you get the wanted card(383).
Of course it takes a while and a load of credits, but think about high level players with nothing to spend their credits on.
From that point on you just collect irons and leads to trade up to cobalt, reroll until you get the loadout(or even skin) you wanted, rinse and repeat.

the whole skin thing would get quite stale,since you could get whatever you wanted EVENTUALLY.

so in conclusion I think there has to be SOME amount of RNG involved in this process, none of this pick and choose and combine stuff.

Okay, so the Bronze Trade up is terrible. Three bronze cards and a fee for another bronze card? I could just use three irons and a smaller fee… Can we get some kind of change?

@BigR3D that option is mostly for the cobalt cards, I wouldn’t recommend using it on bronze or any other besides cobalt at all if i’m being honest… just use the normal trade up from iron to bronze. That one you’re talking about isn’t “trade-up”, its “trade-in”.

(sonsofaugust5) #106

Yes, trade ins. I have several bronze copies but I would rather trade them in for different bronze cards. I don’t really care for skins and just want more bronze loadouts.

Anyone know if this is still applicable? ie: still don’t use the trade system?

(sonsofaugust5) #108

I still do not use the trade in system. I noticed it got more worth it for rarer cards like cobalt but for bronze it is awful. 3 bronze cards and 1,200. To make a bronze card it takes 3 iron and 1,000.

Anyone notice the cobalt is now 2:1trade-in? its nice that they listen. It feels a lot more fairer now

@Rosskii it was on the patch notes, the small one before Thunder I belive.
