Trade in/Trade up rework !

(Eox) #1

OMG look at this !

This was actually featured in today’s devstream. You can find the round up here (credits to wirrew) : https://www.reddit.com/r/Dirtybomb/comments/4q589h/dev_stream_roundup_27th_june_2016_casual_mm_card/

Basically :

Recycling system instead of trading.
Replacing Trade Up and Trade In systems.
Less clicks, more intuitive to get what you are looking for.
    No need to trade up [Lead -> Iron -> Bronze -> Silver -> Gold -> Cobalt] etc.
Cards break down into Fragments and Fragments (+ credits) are used to craft new cards.
    Fragments is a new currency for DB.
Special cards (like Founders) won’t be fragmentable.
Weapon Kits (available in the store for $ or drop from Arsenal crates (so far)) give you the ability to craft a Loadout card with a primary weapon of your choice.
    Weapon Kits can only be used on Premium rarity cards (Silver, Gold & Cobalt).
Crafting Kits (available in the store for $) can be used instead of credits when crafting cards.
Feedback on the demo will be highly appreciated!
Release: coming with the next content update (next 1 or 2 weeks from now).

It looks pretty awesome ! The weapon kit system allows you to bypass a nice chunk of RNG, and the whole trade up/trade is now way more simple. It also allows some kind of “trade down”, thing that wasn’t possible before.

Don’t tell me this is the first you’d heard of it :stuck_out_tongue: It’s been discussed on the forums for weeks now haha.

So time to suffer after buying Weapon Kits to craft Cobalt MA42 THUNDA

and getting MA95 all the time. Cool, 3/1 RNG Magic.

Yeah I guess, but we’ve known about crafting for a while. But the video does show it in more detail, so ignore me xD

I thought that thing would let us reroll/upgrade our special editions…

Can weapon and crafting kits be bought with credits?

(Tanker_Ray) #11

NOPE.

Better than a 1/9 chance for 6 entire gold cards, or 2 cobalts if you trade in. If anything this is better because you can then recycle those cobalts and such you don’t want instead of trading them in, more credits to buy mercs with and less clutter.

Still makes no sense why you gave a post without an opinion but a video with showing a feature a disagree. Those are not dislikes. Don’t abuse the reputation system.

Well, 1/3 is certainly better than 1/9, but unless I’m missing something here you can’t buy weapon kits with credits, and despite them being in arsenal crates your odds of actually getting one from an arsenal crate will be pretty low.

So in short, I have a funny feeling that unless you get really lucky with your arsenal crate drops, going from 1/9 to 1/3 is going to require you to start spending real money on the game, otherwise there is really no change.

Tbh I’m fine with this. Can’t have everything for free, and people who don’t spend a single cent on the game but complain about not getting all the bells and whistles for free is a little silly imo.

(Weekendwarrior) #15

Hmm okay I guess that makes sense to charge real money.

But since weapon kits can only be used on silver to cobalt, and there are 2 skins for each rarity and 3 skins for gold, that means the odds are 1/6 and 1/9 for the exact loadout + skin you want.

Still pretty small and but I guess its much better than 1/18 and 1/27

Me gusta:D

(ClemClem7) #18

All I want to know is all the modalities of this new system, then I’ll know if I need to do a cobalt with all my stuff now, or wait for the new system to be release.
Do we have an idea of the ETA ?

(Fractures) #19

Special Edition/Event cards were only available during events for a reason. If you weren’t able to participate, too bad.
