I had a misadventure today due to the Trade Up system.
So I always play with a bronze skyhammer card that satisfies me, but i wanted to see the silver stuff
I spent 35 000 creds in store to get random sh1t in order to make a silver card, using the trade up thingy, and i finally got a silver card… but it had the exact same specs as my current main bronze one!!?
It took me tons of money and quite a time, and all of it to get something i already had! So i went mad and asked people if there really wasn’t a difference in the hope i did not get fvcked, and it appears it has a different skin. Which i think, almost nobody cares at all in such a game. It might be hats, facehair or even Yoshi cosplay, but nope, only skins…
So my point is : as i’m freemium and a case costs 1000 creds, and i can afford such case after 6 or 7 games average, and implying it takes money to make trade up transaction : a silver card cost about 41 000 creds all math included. So just guess how many games and hours i should spend on the game to get another silver card? I don’t even want to calcul it!
Also, i’m not 24h7d on the game but even if i was, it’d take ages…
Didn’t mention that the random case system is really a pain in the @ss, and the creds reward at endgame is so ridiculous. My best reward was only 250creds on stopwatch. A game won should reward 1000C at least. 1 won match, 1 case. That sounds legit right? I mean, daily missions only gives 600C, not even a poor damn case… After 3 daily missions, you only got 1800C, wouhou. I can buy a single case…
Really when i realize all the creds waste and the difficulty to get some, i can’t really justify the loadouts feature in this game as we get to see a different one every 3 weeks of playing (everyday for 2hrs at least), with the risk of looting one with specs you already own!
For now i can only foresee the ocean of time that should be spent on the game for a freemium to explore just a card so he can tell himself “hmm i don’t like this one”, thanks to randomness again…
So, please, either give us the choice of our cards while we put creds in it, either rise the creds reward % in-game, or decrease case price.
Anyone screwed like me with a clone card after heavy investement?
