Put Cobalt Cards in store remove Bronze.

(JonBongNoJovi) #1

At present we have the option to buy any bronze card we require for 17500 credits . How would people feel if this option was removed and replaced with the option to buy cobalt for say 250000 credits ? remove the chance of gaining from normal cases . This will in turn make credit boosters usefull and give a feeling of progression instead of sitting on a fortune with nothing to spend it on.

the whole point of buying bronze cards is to be able to play with any loadout you want.

removing bronze from store would be horrible.

the whole point of cobalt is RNG jesus smiling your way, so being able to buy your chosen cobalt would heavily devalue teh good-quality cobalt loadouts.

credit boosters usefull

he has got a point, and buying those cases which 99% drop some iron trash cards with 1 perk isn’t alluring neither, maybe just expert cases but a bit more expensive than their comulative chance with trash one cases would be nice

Most likely not gonna happen since SD wants players to spend real money on cases.

I think being able to purchase a specific ranked loadout directly with ranked currency would be a better way to incentivize ranked play though. In general the game needs more (and better) cosmetic items to spend real money and credits on.

Bronze loadout price should probably be looked at though. I mean, 17500 credits for a bronze loadout of your choice feels expensive when you know how cheap you can generate a random one. Since second edition loadouts, most loadouts available are pretty good or at least decent, so I think most people around here would rather generate a random one and try what they get.

@Eox, it’s the cost of removing RNG

250k, lol. They’d have to be over 1 million credits if you were purchasing a desired Cobalt card with no RNG.
I do agree there needs to be something higher to aim towards/more to spend your credits on. Every event lately has its own currency to force players to build up current game time over catering for long time players who have saved their credits. Hopefully SD can do something different for an upcoming event.

I get having new currency for special events. Its helpful to newer people as they aren’t spending their credits on event items (as they still need to save up for mercs too).

The issue is really only present for end game players who do have a ton of credits and nothing to spend them on. They are too smart to blow them on cases by this point as its the same as throwing them down the toilet due to RNG.

Devs do need to find something for day to day long term players to focus on, as crafting and skins are not that thing.

But… but… I wanna purchase all 9 available loadout, for every merc, once gen 3 arrives.

So much credits earned, so nothing to spend on… :frowning:

Make credit boosters more expensive. It would be much better especially for me when i mostly play only one class. Bought like 100 basic (the 1000 credit ones) cases in a week and not a single gold just 2-3 silver and some more bronzes. Just because you cant do much more with them.
Thinking about supporting devs with spending some money but there is not single way to make it somehow enjoyable for me. Buying elite cases feels like a support but not enjoyable at all in case you actually wait for just one or two loadouts for one class. It could cost me hundreds or even thousands euros to get at least gold rarity of specific card.

After a lot of hard work, I finally crafted two cobalts. It was soo satisfying. They’re hard to get and for good reason.

(Noir) #15

I used to keep my credits, waiting for a cool event to spend them. I now just buy cases, recycle the loadouts and craft fancy card whenever I can.
I have around 1200 hours in DB and one single cobalt from regular cases.

(anicca444) #16

Unless you have every card you want in the rarity you want it in… there is no reason to NOT buy normal cases… if you want cobalts, you HAVE to open loads of cases and recycle everything (unless you get super lucky and get something you want)…

then cobalts don’t really take that long to craft at all… I’ve made perhaps (guesstimate) 30-40 cobalts from crafting (recycling a good portion of them, I usually get quite lucky with my crafts… but nader/aura have been abysmal, aura specifically taking 8-9 crafts to finally get a blishlok card)
