Paying money for the Obsidian, Good or Bad?

(kaMMakaZZi9) #21

I just don’t like that Aimee is bundled. I still wouldn’t pay $5 for the case but I’d understand them charging $5 since regular elite cases are too. But most people like to get mercs with credits that I’m aware of.

If it really bothers you get a job or save up

I have a job and I saved up money and this still bothers me. What now? :slight_smile:

I just refuse to spend money on a F2P.

I spent $1 on TF2 to go premium and expand my backpack.

I spent $1 on DB because the Humble deal was too great to pass up.

Am I crazy? I’ve been able to unlock all but 2 mercs so far just playing and have 5 gold and 6 silver just from case drops/trading up.

I don’t mind spending a little here and there if its worth the money. they need to pay there bills and employees too. with out people spending a few bucks here and there these games wouldn’t be able to survive

As long as it’s reasonable and cheap I don’t mind. I don’t wanna see a good game die or start displaying ads

Sorry if I’m being stupid, but I’m not sure what’s going on after reading the comments. Is the obsidian only for Aimee? Is it part of a bundle with Aimee? Sorry for being dumb but I’d like a bit more clarification if anyone would be so kind.

It’s a pack that includes Aimee and a special obsidian culprit card to get after the event. So it too is also for the culprit, not Aimee.

Culprit is getting 2 special skins.

Obsidians were never a reward for playing a long time.

The founders obsidians were purely paid for items. The stress testing weekend obsidians were given to players who played at least 1 game on one of two weekends in march 2015. The phoenix obsidian was given to ANYBODY who owned phoenix already.

Getting an obsidian is more about timing, not about playtime. This obsidian follows the same pattern as the rest of them and it has nothing to do with loyalty or experience in game. The only reason it may feel like a reward for people who play for a long time is because those players you see with them stuck around and kept playing. Plenty of people with those obsidians have also stopped playing.

Anyways, as far as the event goes, I would like to see a better way to get that obsidian to players who purchase Aimee with credits, but I understand what they are doing and why. However I think it would make more sense to simply reward people who own Aimee at the end of the event with the obsidian rather than sell it like they are. [/quote]

whoops, messed it up, and you got me wrong, my bad.
what i meant it is a reward for players that play the game i right time, but then after a while the player will have some cards like that.
they could make new edition of founders

No I believe the culprit gets the obsidian so there will be 2 special cards for that merc that gets picked by us

Go to dirty bomb twitter all the info about event is there

(AnonOmis1000) #29

By cards do you mean specific loadout that aren’t of the 9 available, or 2 different kinds of skins for all 9 loadout like tgere are two variants for silver cards?

(Backuplight) #30

The obsidian will just be one single card with one loadout I believe, so not quite as good as having every loadout in a specific skin like the culprit ones.

(kaMMakaZZi9) #31

The culprit case won’t be all loadouts, it’s still 1/9 RNG.

Founders Obsidians weren’t all paid for, most Founders were invited, no cost involved. A few people paid upto $250 though

Strangely enough, you come across, as this is something to be proud of?

(AnonOmis1000) #34

Well each merc only has 9 loadouts.

(Runeforce) #35

Urm…you mean $360? :slight_smile:

(FerfyDerf) #36

Basically the same thing here.

(CCP115) #37

I have been wondering about this whole monetisation thing, and that reminded me about trinkets, are those still gonna be in the store for the event?

If they’re just for cycles then I don’t get what SD is doing. Making trinkets buyable with real cash and ingame cash makes more sense to me.

I don’t like that they always bundle together the good shit with the bad shit.
I couldn’t care any less about the really bad HumbleBundle Arty,Proxy,Sawbonez and Skyhammer loadouts, but i wanted the HumbleBundle case and also the K51, so i got it.

But I’m definitely not gonna do that every time, this is a waiting game that only they can lose.
In the end its just cosmetics and no one really NEEDS them, while they do need our support.

I don’t feel the price is too bad, I’ll pay for it without a doubt, but, I think there should be a way of buying it separately from aimee because most people just planned on getting her with credits or not getting her for a while.
