My Opinion on the CW cards ver.2


(cFn) #1

Some people who were around when the 1st gen came out might be upset. I’m fine with it personally. They are somewhat different the ver.1. I don’t like how the elite cases bundles don’t provide a chance of getting a special edition card like the 1st gen. I blindly bought 1 bundle so its my fault for assuming but all these events had a chance of getting a special edition from elite cases so what makes this different from the others? It’s disappointing imo as someone who would want a collection of these skins.

Yet the normal cases has a 2% chance which I see people getting in the discord chat right now.

I don’t really know how to feel about it tbh.

Sure, it’s good that the best skins in the game (IMO) are obtainable again.

But weren’t they supposed to be ‘special’ and ‘limited’?

And let’s not get back into the discussion about upgrading Gen1 cards that SD backflipped on, saying they’d do it then saying no that’s not going to happen.

I’m sure there’s some pissed off vets looking at their obsolete Gen1 CW cards right now lol.

Personally I can’t complain, I got the Arty S41 and will be using that card daily.

I have no strong feelings about the return of CW loadouts.
edit:I own a few of the old Gen.1 CW cards.


(MarsRover) #4

My only feeling is boredom because for some reason these cases cannot be quick-opened…

As I have several of the old CW1 skins I am quite pissed off. Till now they were still special

Also here a text from the original CW Release "For the 30 days of the Containment War event, you’ll have a chance to get exclusive, Limited Edition Loadout Cards that will never be available again. "

Having minor changes which no one will notice does not mean they are new cards and basically the cards are available again. Great work on breaking your word!! At least give some compensation to players who stick with you for a long time and don’t screw them over.

Good thing they’re not available again.

Dont know, what’s the big deal is. You first have to beat the RNG (2%), then it has to be for a merc you like, with a gun you like, with a loadout you like. And if you really manage to make this happen: Gen3 will come out and if you are unlucky the updated version of your CW card will make it outdated.

what you talking about? You will get 2 100% Event Skins when you buy the Elite Case Bundle.


(Cletus_VanDamme) #9

He’s talking about how usually the elite cases (during events) have a 10% chance of dropping a SE card.

So you mean because it is Gen 2? So there will never be any exclusive skins because they can just release them with a new Gen? Just wait until they release the new obsidian skins with slightly different loadouts or colors.

Why wait? Just ask those who bought the founders or Betafighter packs…

I’ve been playing DB since Dec 2015, so I had no chance to have any of the considered “best skin” in the game. The drop chance is very low so, even if I understand the CW owners, the cards will still be pretty unique.

The latter part ticks me off. SD please let me atleast reroll one of my two CW Rhinos into something else. In fact, let me reroll them both into other mercs because I already have 2-3 more Special Edition Rhinos (Humble and Alienware) :frowning:

I don’t particularly mind the reintroduction of the skins, but no reroll is just plain bad, especially if your CW-cards are obsolete, which one of mine are atleast.

Exactly what I mean.


(BloodySin) #15

I found it quite disappointing - and discouraging to spend any cash - to see the bundled cases not work like the Shell Shock ones, that had 10% to have a special card, along with the assured boxes for bundle purchases. I’ll wait to see if that changes, because I don’t feel like lightening my wallet for a bunch of regular elite cases with no chance of specials, just for the sake of one assured every bundle of five.


(CO_Grit) #16

The regular elite cases have no chance for CW cards? That sucks. I hope that’s an oversight on SD’s part. It would only make sense to have them in there for this event.


(GatoCommodore) #17

ohh… i see now what SD trying to do here
they given us a chance to get newer cards with old skin

so its like a re-roll but you still need RNG
wooow…


i dont know if i should be mad or thank them for the opportunity

Another opportunity for me to get a shiny card I’ll never use because it’s a shoddy loadout?

thats why i said it still need RNG

Re-roll would be RNG too yknow, this is just being generous but kinda fuggs up the people who bought the skin with money…


(BananaSlug) #20

Well, cards from Central event aren’t obtainable and will never be, Soo you special snowflakes can still feel special, because now you get s2 not s1
