Why is there no option to purchase additional ghost cases or choose the skins you want for Javelin?

I needed something funny to watch while eating so I thought I check out some Javelin case openings. I was not disappointed:

  1. CadGamings - wants any card with the SHAR-C but gets D81, “oh @$!# me…”. Then crafts a Javelin Cobalt and gets… another D81 :smiley:

RNG is such a good way to encourage streamers to play DB B)

yknow, this happens a lot early in the event.
i remember Kandyrew back when he was still playing DB he crafted cobalt kira, aiming to get the ones in katana, gets the dreiss.
twice.

same day, i recycled my cobalt rhino, old cobalt kira, and my cobalt fragger.

i made 2 cobalt kira and both is the same ones as kandy did
i told my friends its rigged but nooo its just im crazy OOOOoooo

i can also predict crafting but it doesnt work anymore since summer squash ends…

It’s about time we get the ability to use spare crafting resources to reroll cards entirely, it’s so depressing spending money on javelin, the ghost skin is SO cool and badass, but it’ll never leave half the players inventories over a bronze card with better perks for said player.

Like please consider an option to reroll cards of gold, cobalt and special event quality, you could even segway this into the weapon kit system since it rarely gets used much as it is.

I know how that goes…I crafted 6-8 or so various duplicate Thunders till I finally got the one I wanted.

Often get multiple duplicates of any merc I try to craft for before I even get anything different…much less the one I actually want.

better save that money and wait for another obsidian like phantom super-stylish edgy skin
best skin in the game imo

Another “fuck me”, this time from dewower as he also opens a D81. And a not happy XsnipergirlX with another special&cobalt D81 combo - LOL. We are reaching a conspiracy level of RNG concidence here, Dreiss buff incoming? :smiley:

I got the D55, made me kinda sad BUT its making me learn to use the Driess, which will also benefit me with Arty and Kira also; I wanted the SH56 or a SHAR card btw. lol

I’m glad there is a thread for this, because SD really need to see it. I’ve been parading around the Discord as well regarding this because this is the final straw where SD has really pulled the pin. Your playerbase is FINALLY beginning to grow, DB as a game is beginning to get itself a name and attract a new breed of players, the past three updates were brilliant and the ability to choose 3 Phantom’s of the guaranteed loadout in Obsidian you want was equally good and I can respect why you didn’t add the ‘meta’ loadouts.

But now we take four steps back into shitville with some crappy time-exclusive, ONE TIME ONLY PURCHASE RNG CASE. Seriously, Splash Damage? This is the update that you’ve advertised as being one of the major starting points for SD to up its game and the first thing you do is add an RNG case.

I got the B51 on Javelin -

5iuS59A.png1022x563

Which if my amazing picture with text (thank you paint!) hasn’t already said enough, I’m really not happy with, but there’s absolutely nothing I can do about it. That loadout will sit in my inventory, never get touched and can’t be sold/traded or made into anything useful, which is a shame because the artwork is fairly nice, too bad it will only ever gather dust in my inventory. I really hope you eventually add an option to re-roll special editions, I think it’s something the game needs especially for the people who have dozens of duplicates for the same loadouts in the same mercs.

Bought the pack before noticing it was basically a £12 RNG case. Never even crossed my mind that SD would do something like that. Will not be happening again.

(Cookie3) #33

Although it doesn’t really make-up for the fact we’re regressing into RNG cases again, one thing I’d like to see is maybe a rework on weapon kits so that they can be used to re-roll existing loadouts of different rarities (more weapon kits dependent on rarity but nothing stupid like 45 for cobalts) and then make them more accessible (through purchase similar to crafting kits, arsenal crates and maybe something else). At least then I can re-roll the loadout on my special editions into something I can (hopefully) use, just a suggestion.

There are better alternatives, but that’s just one of them since weapon kits are already in the game as it is although extremely rare (far too rare). You could keep their ability to craft loadouts to get the primary you want, but also use them (at a lower cost) to re-roll existing loadouts too.

On a positive note though i do think Javelin now has the best Buns in DB :blush:

I can see how one is forced to seek any positive aspects after getting that loadout :slight_smile:

I can partially understand why SD didnt do the same as with turtle, releasing javelin with an obsidian.
Javelin was advertised with high poly model , next step in merc creation , etc etc.
If you do something like that you want the obsidian, which is the type that is supposed to be the pinnacle of all skins, extra shiny.

And ofcourse they can sell future obsidians separately to make some extra bucks.
