[quote=“Redcap;164474”]Bleak Chic’s Invitation have the Monday April 18th on them, my guess is that is when the event is released.

I really doubt that all this torrent of twitter announcements will be followed by 2 weeks of silence.
a) that’s just silly 
b) CW and WtD started about 2 weeks after the first announcement, not last
IMO it’s this week.
How is Wed-Wed cycle harder that Mon-Mon, or any other for that matter?
Bleak Chic was canceled as a fake event when Bashki was murdered. Therefore that date does not hold, and they’ve been released all of this info like crazy. Plus one of the DB people tweeted this the other day:
2020 because DB takes place in 2020.
@Backuplight Sigh, I feel so salty now that Aimee didn’t get anything despite being under the spotlight of this whole event! You’re right on with the paid cosmetics, I really hope they continue to have paid Obsidian cards so that players who wish to have a shiny loadout can support the game and keep it going for the free players, killing two birds with one stone!
@Kelben I can’t argue on any of your points regarding the different roles, you’re definitely right about them! However, this game is made to be competitive and therefore, the devs probably thought that the majority of players would queue for ranked matches like how it is in CS:GO.
Ranked matches are 5v5 and if you’re in a decent pool of player, they’ll communicate and select roles that fit the team. Hence, you wouldn’t see double snipers often in those scenarios and having a sniper on your team will be beneficial as you know. Recons are meant to be mercs that are out of the norm and hence they’ll be harder to predict and play against in ranked. You wouldn’t have as much experience fighting a Red-eye over a proxy, so you’d naturally know where the proxy mines would probably be and keep an ear out for the sound that it emits but for Red-eye, you’re not used to playing against a smoke grenade in the game and that could make for some very innotative strategies.
Sadly, I do agree that Vassili would outshine Aimee from what we speculate from the dated information we have on Aimee. If its her original model and skills etc, then vassili obviously outshines her and she’s nothing but a shadow. What i’m banking in on, is that SD took the long period of time after they removed her from the Alpha and modified her to be different and could bring something to the table. We won’t have to wait very long to find out my friend, maybe we’ll even see the role-call today!
I absolutely adore sniping and sniping in dirtybomb isn’t easy as compared to CS:GO’s AWP. I know exactly how much of an impact a sniper can be on the field and honestly if you’re good at it, it really doesn’t matter how many different merc roles your team has.
team - ( Aura, Fragger, Proxy, Vassili, Stoker ) for eg
team - (Aura, Fragger, Proxy, Sawbonez, Stoker)
I’ll take the one with vassili any day, to have a teammate or myself on a sniper and making sure I’m a nuisance to the opposing team is much better than having an additional Medic/Assault/Engineer. I know I refer to this before but just look at the competitive scene for dirtybomb, top teams will never go onto the field without a sniper. Heck, some even bring Phantom into the fray, which can do devastating work because of the unorthodox strategy!

Wow, it’s only 4 years from now.
Upsides:
Downsides:
I’ll take that
so do I take it right that there will be an obsidian card released. Is it in connection with Aimee? How are we going to get it? Free, for cash or random drop? So many questionz
@FalC_16 Hey man, Dirtybomb revealed a $15 offer which includes Aimee + 1 special obsidian culprit case ( This case will give you the obsidian card for the culprit revealed at the end of the event)
There is so many different skins in this event, if some skin is gonna be unique like the founders ones, it’s gonna be that!
Is there any info out, when we can buy this Aimee+Card bundle at the latest? Do we have to buy it blindly, before even the first suspect is determinated. Or can we wait until the culprit is known and then decide?
@Kelben No information that detailed has been released yet buddy, we’ll have to wait and see. I’m hoping for a merc role-call reveal at today’s stream since the update should go live on Wednesday if my assumptions are correct!
Everyone but SKyhammer, Aura and Aimee are suspects at least, with 99.9% probability. I do hope we get to know the possible obsidian loadouts for each suspect beforehand too though, that’s how it worked with Phoenix as well so fingers crossed
@Rjsto you’re right my man, those 3 are definitely out. Which is sad for Aimee. I really felt that they should’ve given her an obsidian loadout or something special for being the main protagonist in the biggest update of the game to date.
Well well… elite cases huh… oh what’s that? 10% chance of getting special card? … everybody involved with that decision… please… take cricket bat and shove it where the sun don’t shine…
Oh… on the first day of every week, there’s 1 event case in bundle 5 packs and 2 cases in bundle of 10 packs… yeah… yeah… that’s makes everything better… only if you do what I told you to do with the cricket bat…
What if the most played merc is phoenix ? I already got this skin, as a lot of players.
Obsidians are not worth the price as everyone can have one or can buy one. Founders are rare. Nowadays, obsidian phoenix just begin to be rare. But few months ago, it was just normal phoenix loadout because of number of players who got the card, and who have stopped playing DB now.
@RazielWarmonic That is heartbreaking but great job on the event and merc release! Will we be able to see the merc role-call today 
?
