Trade-in for Containment War cards?

(gg2ez) #21

Seeing as CW cards are already so “special”, I’d really like it if the player just payed a massive sum of credits.

Then again I might be biased because I’ve currently got a HUGE sum of credits.

if you think that way, you should be against the trade in, not for.

I just dont understand how they think, this system only reward the lucky ones. the “reward” to long loyal fans (aka the ones who had phoenix unlocked) is a worthless cobolt card thats useless (for me at least).
even if you play the game quite a bit during the event you dont even have a good chance of getting a special load out card, a card that have miniscule chance of being one that you will treasure.
would buy a case bundle you will only get an additional 2/153 chance of getting the card you want, a card that someone who only played 2 games the whole month got in a equipment case.

its just to be prepared and see if you can stomach the salt when in a month a lvl 6 runs around with the card you want but you never can get.

Ahhh… Well, you buy a (1/17)*(2/9) (according to the math above) chance of getting a CW card you want, is it really that bad, considering SD has to make money somehow?

@ostmustis
I am against the trade in, but i don’t really care that much, and i know some people would love if something like this was implemented.

But, i also think drop rates are way too low, especially when you think about the bait-and-switch SD pulled on us with the news article.

As for the part about me being salty about a lvl 6 having the card i want, there are 3 or 4, maybe 5 mercs I care about, all of which i have my favourite card for them in gold or higher, including my favourite card for Bushwhacker (one of said mercs i care about) in CW edition.

I acctually asked about a trade system between players for loadout cards on the stream last night.
Missmurder confirmed the ar working on this and that it will be coming but it will be in the far far away future.

@Hazzy Hmm, that is not completely accurate I’m afraid :s It’s definitely being considered, due to them noticing several players have obtained duplicates. Nothing is actively being worked on for it, BUT they are currently looking for player feedback on it - hence the reason for making this thread. :stuck_out_tongue:

So your saying Missmurder lied to me ?! :’(

(Faraleth) #28

@Hazzy I mis-read your comment D: I’m sorry. I thought you were talking about the thread topic >.<

In regards to card/loadout trading between players - yes! It is a definite planned feature :3 although, it’s unlikely that it’s being worked on right now :frowning: And like you said, it will be a fair-while off in the future yet.

Sorry for confusing your comment! XD

(Rjsto) #29

Can I vote no in my saltiness since I’m never gonna get even one? No? Fine

(Jostabeere) #30

I just want one card of a merc I use. But without paying 34.99€ for a sure one I wont see them. Sadly a failed event for me.
I would love a trade-in of 3 gold cards into one random CW.

(Backuplight) #31

I just want a system where I don’t have to have a bunch of useless shit which I can then gamble into potentially more useless shit. In lieu of this, I’ll take whatever reduces the RNG to more acceptable levels. :smile:

(Faraleth) #32

@Backuplight +1 to this, dude. xD

(Litho_1) #33

Well I have 3 Containment War limited edition cards for Proxy, 2 of them are the same card and I also have a founder card for her. So 4 untradable cards for the one character is pretty pathetic.
I feel even more ripped off as I did fork out for the 10 card pack and 5 cards were for Proxy - fortunately I can trade 2 of them but that’s still 3 untradable cards for the one character in one purchase - really made that $35 worthwhile.
They definitely need a trade in option, I love the game but feel punished for spending money on it.

The problem is, as long as we can’t trade with other people and the CW event runs out we are stuck to what we have. And if someone just has two CW cards he doesn’t really like, trades them in for another one that’s even worse (Like a CW Vassili, god that would be hell for me) he’s stuck with that awful card and sees it every time he opens his Loadout menu.
I’d hate that…

Just make it 1:1 with an astronomic credit cost.

(Aazhyd) #35

I think most players dont even have 1 of these cards, so this idea would apply to a niche for a month. Its ridiculous to ask the devs to put it in.

I estimate I opened about 150 cases, but found no CW loadouts so far.

Yeah, why cater to the people most invested in the game (emotionally and financially). It’s not like they matter at all.

150 is peanuts. I’m close to 400 and only got 1 bad Phantom.

Edit:
What was I thinking while voting? I’m changing my vote to 1-to-1 with a credit cost.

(TheAcidpiss) #37

slightly off topic here but will they revise the trade up for cobalts? I know they are revising the trade in option and I plan to do my first cobalt trade up.

I don’t want to be in that situation where after around 200 hours game time I trade up 6 gold and 10,000 credits to get my cobalt, only to find out a week later its only 5 golds and 5k credits :frowning:

Edit: I didn’t vote because I haven’t even got one CW loadout yet let alone two…

@TheAcidpiss There are no current plans for this, that have been announced. As soon as any news like this becomes available, it would be all over the forums. Best thing I would advise is, wait until the next update - if no changes come in the next update regarding trade-ups, you may as well go for it. Next update is only 1 week away anyways if the current schedule is on target. :slight_smile:

But yes, definitely no current plans for it as far as I’m aware.

I did not get a card so far and the p2win group talks about a trade in function,
kinda dissapointing.

How about if you forget the money a little and rewards players as they help your game? :slight_smile:

Really? That sh*t again? How exactly are people with a yellow/white camo better in the game then people with a green camo?
