I’m level 100 been playing since Trial Weekend. Got all Pink unlocked, all Blue. The rarer pink I was mostly unlocked and Red I was just starting to unlock. Not spending anymore though cause it’s just a lost cause for me rn. I love the other patches they’ve made so far in theory for this update but I have yet to play since 1.06 was released.
RIP Loot Boxes there’s NO point in buying them
Only got to 100 yesterday and was starting to get a little Veritanium then they nerfed it. I knew it was coming but it sucks cause that’s all there is to do between matches on PS4 and it was still low chance I was only breaking even… 50 crates then 50 more or 47 … then 51… then 39… it was either way but I usually floated around 50. Takes too long for animation and risk vs reward at this point is not worth it. I’m boycotting it for now.

Now I can say that I feel totally cheated …
Did they just change the value it returns for duplicates of blue, purple, and weird purple?
Something sucks gentlemen … this booty is very dirty

That’s Marine shader for the Nocturne mask.
Well I have done some research, it has cost some credits but here you can see an image of the current prices that they obtain in duplicates.
Before the patch:
Blue: 75 Now: 50
purple: 250 Now: 100
Rare purple: 750 Now: 350
Red: 2500 Now: 2500
Yellow: N/A Now: N/A
I’m level 100 don’t tell me about “having to play the game”. I do play the game a lot but the RNG for loot boxes is so bad the only making up for it was the duplicates for retries.

I would’ve understood the value changes if they had actually increased the RNG for exotics and maybe mythics but not they just screwed themselves over theses loot boxes.

Rare purple: 750 Now: 350 is drastic, no straight flush 3x750.

Exactly they could’ve at least made it 500 to give another chance
They artificially extended the grind, which is not good sign.
I don’t understand why they applied this change if NO ONE has requested it, but I would agree if they really did their job well.
I do not want to have thousands and thousands of credits or earn them easily, what I want is to earn credits by playing and when I have a good amount to buy 50 chests and at least get red and yellow objects … I do not want to spend the little credit that I win in opening chests, losing credits in exchange for objects that I will not use because they are replicated.
Please improve the RNG or increase the possibility of obtaining higher quality items Red / yellow.
If they do not do so, return to your starting square and do not shoot yourself.

Probably be ause a lot of the people that are still playing after lvl 100 are just doing it to unlock certain stuff to make their players look cool…
The game doesn’t have much content after you unlock the weapons you want… especially for no frills guys like me. i played Assault Rifle and Shoty the entire time… lol
Everything else was Unnecessary… 🤷🏻♂️
Honestly the nerf on dupe earnings bummed me out a bit. But it’s not that big of a deal. However, if the loot box meta was a bit better, I think it’d be less of an issue. The amount of dupes you get is insane, lol.

Yeah in order to make this nerf justified they need to increase rarer drops and how much money you earn after a match is over.

We must inform illfonic that we want an improvement in the loot.
I’m sure they’ll get wind of this thread. It’s already got quite a few responses. Plus, I’m sure they’d be expecting it considering the changes, haha. When you nerf earnings of any form in any game the reaction usually ain’t the best, haha.
My last game, I have killed the fireteam 6 times … I have won the game and I have obtained around 190 credits …
I guess my main issue with the Lockers is the value of buying the item is not in the same value of the rate at which it drops. I.e A Red item is worth 7500, therefore, I would expect opening 7500 worth of lockers I would expect to get one red. The pay off is pay 7500 and get a red you want, or spend 7500 and get a random red plus a bunch of extra common junk, maybe even luck out and get some extra nice loot on top.
Unfortunately, the cost is not equal to the chance and once you cap out on level, the current rate of income of Veritanium is not economical to support either spending outright on cosmetics you want - especially mythic quality. Either the rate of income needs to increase or drop chance should increase.
