Suggestion for future events


(Reddeadcap) #1

I would like to begin by giving credit where credit is due to Splash Damage for these events and skins, It’s been taking a while but over the course of these mayor events ever since Containment war we’ve seen events evolve to give players a higher and higher chance to gain these rare skins, but people have had almost never seen them, I understand these are meant to be rare but it’s practically impossible, even with boosters for some players to get a special edition skin.

Currency bundles, drop chance boosters and unique trinkets that increase currency received for both players themselves and those in the server aside here a suggestion for the cases themselves.

  • Players can buy regular cases for 1000 credits at the store along with elite cases, but event cases are available for their unique currency used during the event.

  • Event Cases have a 10.1% chance of dropping the Limited Edition loadout card. rather than a 7.5%, 2.0%, 0.5% and 0.1% for Bronze, Silver, Gold and Cobalt respective.

  • Elite Event cases drop a random event skin, similar to how the current Guaranteed cases function.

  • Guarantee Cases have players select a specific merc or select from 3 mercs to get a skin for.

I understand that these are meant to be rare and limited for each event, even with the use of boosters, these just seem impossible to drop, shouldn’t the fact that these cases drop for about a month be enough to consider them very rare?

I also thought of, why not also make the event currency bundles credit price closer to their cash prices. (Example: 250,000 credits vs $4.99, $4.99 in credits is 30,000, 9.99 is $50,000 credits . it doesn’t have to be an exact amount but the difference is quite large

I got 1 CW card, 0 WTDs, 2 ReV and 0 Shell Shock cards.

Then again, I don’t have the time to grind out a pile of SE cards for a merc I probably won’t like (that CW Aura and ReV Aimee are never gonna be used…), so OP’s suggestion would be awesome for me. :smiley:

Was the increase thanks to buying boosters?

I got 4 of them and not gonna use a single one. Grinded this game for maybe 50 hours to end with stupid loadouts. It was definitly easier to get them than during last event (I have nothing from ReV or WTD). All we need is a way to not be fucked by RNG that much.
I am sick of getting shotgun Proxys, Dreiss Redeyes and phoenix whatever weapons.

I’ll never be as upset about missing an SE skin as I was when my 100+ hours got me 0 WTD sweater skins

To be fair, They were the first event that had players win trinkets, at _least _last christmas they were buy-able, I only got the ice-coald sadly, because it was the least cringey, kinda miss the other 3 though.

Well I have 3 Dupe Kira loadouts so even if we cant get the same event I WOULD LOVE TO TRADE ONE OF THE DUPES TO GET A FUCKING KATANA STARK LOADOUT INSTEAD OF A PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A BUTTER KNIFE

Maybe a re-roll mechanic on Limited edition Duplicates, or make it ignore the ones you have?

I think, it would be just as good to get rid of unwanted SE cards, to simply be able to trade them between players (not cobalts though, that would make crafting completely pointless), and it would open more possibilities. Like make use of the Cyber-Eye Proxy loadout

Good idea, steam trading would be a great way for players to trade these between each other, or at least have a subsection where people can trade their Special editions with one another.

Steam economy is an inside joke at SD offices at this point
