Improving the Loadouts System


(DB Genome editor) #21

For the record, there are 58 Obsidian cards in the game so far, but only 20 of those were available to were mortals, and of those you can’t own more than 8:

  • 5 Founders (Fragger, Proxy, Sawbonez, Skyhammer and Vassili, Founders got to pick 1, 3 or all 5 depending on their contribution level)
  • 5 Beta Fighter (Arty, Fragger, Proxy, Sawbonez and Vassili, Beta participants randomly received 1 of these 5)
  • Containment War Phoenix (you got that one if you owned him already at the time)
  • 9 Rogue en Vogue Proxy (the only Obsidian available in all loadouts as opposed to a unique one, those who bought the special Culprit case got 1 random loadout)
  • 19 Splash Damage exclusive (1 for each released merc, only available to SD employees)
  • 19 Nexon exclusive (1 for each released merc, only available to Nexon employees but I’m not sure if those are still around after the divorce…)

Thanks for the info @Djiesse ! Would there possibly be any new event cards coming out in the near future? Also, would you have any insight or ideas on a card-trading marketplace? We’ve been discussing it for a while, but have had many spanners in our works. Thanks.

As for a ‘marketplace’, I am not hearing much support voiced from the founders, quite the opposite, so I would not hold my breath.

I honestly don’t know anything more about those subjects than you do… Personally, rather than a trading system I would prefer to see a rework of the cosmetics system that would separate skins from loadouts, allow more real customization (not just different colors and patterns) and give you the means to work your way towards the specific stuff you want. I mean, people are sitting on hundreds of unopened cases and millions of credits because there is nothing worth using them for… If I could buy something akin to the Founders skins for one of my favorite mercs for 1M credits, I would probably do it without a second thought…

I feel like Card trading and Steam marketplace is an inside joke at SD at this point

I’d really like the option to switch around the augments while we’re at it. If i’m saving up hours upon hours of credits so I can buy a cobalt I don’t think this it too much to ask for.


(AlbinMatt) #27

We can all still pray.

Seriously, the infamous “Valve time” has nothing compared to “Splash Damage o’clock”.


(AlbinMatt) #28

Do you mean getting to choose your augments manually? Because…

HELL. NO.

Imagine how many OP combinations you can have? Imagine a Phoenix with Potent Packs, Healing Reach, and Extra Supplies, or a Bushwacker with Steady, Lock On, and Unshakable, or a Proxy with Springy, Lock On, and Mechanic! IMAGINE BEING ABLE TO PUT MECHANIC ON AN ENGINEER!

@Cletus_VanDamme Now, THIS is a bump.

(Please don’t ban me…) Honestly, it’d be great if we could keep pitching in ideas, this thread was going somewhat well.
