(RazielWarmonic) #1

Increased Fragments When Recycling

Throughout Crafting Week, recycling Loadout Cards will grant you at least 20% additional Fragments.

Reduced Fragments cost when Crafting

Whenever you Craft a Loadout Card during Crafting Week, the Fragment cost will be reduced by ~20%.

Combined with these reduced Crafting Costs, Recycling a Cobalt Loadout Card will give you enough Fragments to Craft a new one for the price of Credits alone!

Reduced Crafting Kit Cost

We’re also reducing the cost of Crafting Kits in the Store by ~40% during Crafting Week, which will allow you to Craft on the cheap while saving your Credits.

With all this happening in less than a week, you’ll want to spend the next few days wisely and load up on as many Loadout Cards as possible!

WOOHOOOOO

Great, proper announcements about it 3 (or even 4 if I’ve missed some) weeks early through other means and then an official one with graphics and all that jazzery 1 week early…Even an in-game main menu notification about it well in advance.

Communications, this is how to do it! Keep it up.

Though this isn’t permanent, this is heading in the right direction for SD. Keep it up guys!

(JonBongNoJovi) #5

More fool me thinking it was taking place when patch dropped, wasted so many fragments , ah well

(SargentSpoon) #6

so… essentially with enough credits we can continuously re-roll our bad cobalts,

(Chilled Sanity) #7

Lowering the credit cost instead of lowering the crafting kit cost would be a better choise IMO

(dronev4) #8

lovely… still nothing fixing the over priced credit costs… Guess I’m still not gonna be using this broken system!

(onLooSe) #9

Yes… it’s kinda like Rogue and Meme or whatever event to sink your credits. Especially when you take in the consideration no one got near enough weapon kits. You will still go for the previous RNG fight with 1/9 for desired card + the chance to get a skin you like. HF

I wish this were permanent. But i am going to milk the sh** out of this.

(NaIKoLDY) #11

Restarted my game but i didnt get any case dropped??

(watsyurdeal) #12

If you did this event more often, I might just do it.

I blew too much cash earlier this month, so I kinda don’t want to spend too much again. XD

(eliii) #13

Uhm, didn’t get any crate. Not for logging on, not for playing

(M@rs) #14

You need 8 weapon kits to choose a weapon??? Thats just wrong.

(Cxmback_150) #15

I also did not get any Arsenal Crate … pls fix this fast :frowning: srsly…

(SnakekillerX) #16

I definitely like the 1:1 recycle/build costs right now. I almost feel like this should be the default base prices for fragments. I built and recycled 11 cobalts (only kept 1) and spent 550,000 credits in the process. So while yes… I was able to roll a cobalt I liked, it was extremely expensive credit-wise.

How do you get more credits? Play More!
Finally, a use for my credits.

Please make this the default price model.
However, building Silver/Gold still seems a bit pointless (like… why not just stay with bronze if you don’t care about rarity… and if you do, then go cobalt)

(The_N00Ba) #17

the way i see it… you want to craft complete collections of cards you go bronze. If you want to get different “shinier” skins you go Silver, Gold, and Cobalt. Cobalt costs you the most to make. Gold costs you less than cobalt but more than Silver to make. Silver costs you less than Gold to make but more than a bronze.

I think people should make Silver, Gold, and Cobalt more because they like the different skins available for each rarity type and not so much because certain types cost them more. But some people like the idea they have to pay more for certain rarity types so they go for the most expensive. it is what it is. every one has their own personal tastes and goals.

For every one who has not received their daily case provided by this event…
make sure you restart your game… maybe even restart steam for laughs
make sure you play some games
if it still has not dropped you may have to do a support ticket.

I will summon the Warmonic to help her be aware of additional people needing assistance.

Why you need 8 weapon kits to choose a weapon? You can’t even buy the cases that drop them, thats just… GAAAHHH!!!

(The_N00Ba) #20
