RIP Loot Boxes there’s NO point in buying them

#21

I just have to look at this message thread and see that many players if not all, have been playing this slot in hopes of getting something decent and we all agree on the same point. There is no benefit in opening boxes either before the patch or now.

Before at least you knew that by spending 2,000 credits you could earn 500-1000 credits more with much luck, that translates into 2,000 credits = 4 boxes.
500 credits = 1 box.
1000 credits = 2 boxes.

The benefit obtained was small but you had the possibility of investing money again, you could earn more or less but the system was more stable.

The system remains the same as in the beginning with the only alteration that now it will NEVER get benefits.

I started with 3 crates now I have 300k in money. It was a gamble fair and square even chances that you get something cool is close to 0. I opened 2000 crates I swear and got coyote and bobcat trophy only.

In my case I think I have opened more than 5,000 boxes since the game’s release date and I can assure that I have only managed to get 2 yellow objects, less than 100 red, the rest were rare purple and simple purple and 90% rare blue.
again 90% of open loot was replicated

I said 2000. But I can’t really tell how many times I bought 50 crates and opened them between matches could be easily 5000 dunno. I have now over 300k in cash and maybe 30 unopened boxes. I’ll save it unless its reversed. If ever goes full MS I am going to sell whole acc. ;) Getting really pissed at them.

He would agree to reduce the profit obtained from the boxes or directly receive money instead of replicated, but in exchange for reducing the benefit of credits he would improve the loot.

An example:
Each box has 3 objects, you can get 1 of those objects 100% safe something you don’t have and the other two objects can be anything, money … instead of replicated.
Just offset the RNG and improve the loot rate.
Overwatch improved a lot in that regard.

I opened over 750-800 yesterday, not one Mythic item. Quite a few Reds but no duplicates except maybe one. Not buying into that it takes long enough just to open them on PS4 let alone get nothing for your effort.

También me veo en la obligación de mencionar lo siguiente.

Si ustedes nos reducen el beneficio de las cajas. ¿Por qué no también aceptan que menos beneficio y cretidos en cajas significa menor coste en los articulos que podemos desbloquear?
No voy a abrir cajas actualmente, es basura.
No voy a comprar un articulo que cuesta 25,000 creditos, eso es basura.

Can you tell what level you have or how long you have been playing?
If you are a new player you will not get replicated but when you have been playing this for so long, level 60 or higher and buy boxes … you can see reality.

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.

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

The saddest level up to 100 ever done.

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.
