Special Edition Cards Useless + Solution

(Fap Fap Master) #1

Does anybody else have any useless Special Edition cards? Because I’ve got a sick looking obsidian Arty lying in my inventory that has crappy augments and weapons, these cards are meant to show off how good you look, but you don’t use the card because its weapons/augments is undesired.
So I propose a solution…
SPECIAL EDITION CARD
+
Bronze to Cobalt Version of card you own in your inventory (Has to be same merc maybe?)
+
Set amount of credits (Varies based on version of card, eg.Bronze = 10k Credits, Cobalt = 0 Credits.)

Special Edition Appearance with the other cards weapons/augments.

Woops, was meant to edit not quote and post.

It would be not fair to people who don’t have them tho. Special Editions should be rare, but not strong.

(Fap Fap Master) #4

How are they strong? They are just bronze loadouts with special looks, all im saying is make it that we are able to change them to another loadout we desire.

It’s a nice perk if you don’t have any cards but pretty useless once you get a half way decent one.

I personally don’t care how I look. I never see myself jumping around looking cool and I certainly am not going to waste money so other people can enjoy me jumping around looking cool.

So I have a beta fighter loadout that I do not like, I would very much like to change the loadout to something else. With the system I proposed, its quite handy.

You misread my posts. They are not strong, indeed. But it would not be fair if they WERE strong. They’re more designed to be collectibles, not the strongest, ultra-rare loadout. If I had one, I would use it, no matter which loadout it has. And the Arty has the Dreiss, I mean, his best gun. And carrying more ammo is nice, too. And unshakeable can save your butt from proxy-mines or (Frag grenades).

Can you please explain how they are “unfair”?

I think SD is doing themselves a disservice by locking appearances to perks. They are missing a lot of revenue by selling character skins directly (much like LoL or pretty much any MMO).

Imagine you have the perfect loadout in a rarity other people can’t get. Is it fair for other people not having a perfect-ultra-rare card just because they started playing later than you?

(Fap Fap Master) #11

Thats funny, cause perfect is subjective isn’t it?

Whats wrong with getting the perfect loadout on a rarity people can’t get? Does it affect them in any way? I don’t see any negative in this.

Take the Alienware Skyhammer Card for example, I got the “best” one in my opinion (M92 Whatever it was Rifleman). My friend on the otherhand, got the one with Timik and tryhard, he hates it and wishes to change it, but he is unable to, with this system he is able to and everybody is happy.

I like my TIMIK Alienware. but if we could change them, I would, of course because a different loadout is superior. This will end into 90% of people playing the same loadout. It will kill the diversity.
By your logic a poker card deck is useless because not every card is a joker.

And its not the same with everybody having the same bronze?

Why should I get some special loadout with crappy augments that I will never use? I wish to change it so it actually has some use in my inventory, cause currently my Beta Fighter Arty has a DMR, which i don’t like, I would rather much a BR. I am unable to change it due to the current system.

Bad analogy, I stated earlier that the “best loadout” is a subjective thing. Why limit changing it? Is it so bad to see everyone use their favourite loadouts? You’re the reason why we can’t have good things.

All I’m saying is, There should be a system in the game, which allows you to reassign loadouts to special edition ones.

(Ghosthree3) #14

As I understand this, it’s perfectly fine. Basically just moving a skin from a card with a bad loadout to one with a good one. I’d be against it for say, Cobalt, because Cobalt can actually get those loadouts with skins, but Obsidion etc can’t.

(Dirmagnos) #15

10k creds for Bronze, and 0 for Cobalt… riiiight.
Im strongly against it already because of that.

(LifeupOmega) #16

Maybe when they actually separate the skins and loadouts to two different cards, I’d like to see it anyway.

(Fap Fap Master) #17

Doesn’t have to be the credit amount stated… I was just giving examples.

(smartIsland) #18

i wish they had a system where when you got a special case or did an event or something it would just give you an enhancer token that you could attach to a single load-out of your choosing to permanently convert it to an obsidian or cobalt or whatever with upgraded skins

(RyePanda) #19

Or just have special editions count as or bronzes for trading up so you could get some use out of them.

(B_Montiel) #20

There’s only one obsidian loadout for each merc available at this beta build beginning. Some of them are good, some of them are bad, this does not really matter in my mind. Better consider this obsidian card as a collectible token. And by the way, I’m not even sure they’ve resprayed all the weapons into the obsidian color scheme.
