Alec_Fortescue Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 MAybe they did it because it's not a "regular" shipment? Normally you have new rep track and more pack names visible in collections. Maybe these aren't coming back any time soon or only during the slots "event"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddballEasyEight Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 MAybe they did it because it's not a "regular" shipment? Normally you have new rep track and more pack names visible in collections. Maybe these aren't coming back any time soon or only during the slots "event"? still doesn't explain why common sets that usually have a CC unlock price of 90 now cost more than 5 times more to unlock. 2 times? Yeah, I could undertand that, but 5 times? no. Also, while I do believe that these packs might be limited to the events duration, there definately seems to be something wrong with the drop rate in said packs. And I am still convinced that they are connected to the unlock prices somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OddballEasyEight Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) I hope we hear something today. /beg I'm thinking this: Friday, just before the end of the work day: Forums in uproar, cartel pack and collection unlocks might be bugged. They aknowledge and pass on the info. Weekend: - - - Monday: Meetings with cartel market team to verify if it is a bug or not. Some sort of conclusion is drawn (hopefully that it's a bug). Tuesday: Meetings to come up with solution/compensation to the problems. Tuesday afternoon: Announcement about what will happen or at least wether or not it is unintentional (ie. bug). Wednesday: Working on fixing the bug. (shouldn't be THAT hard if it's just a mistake in drop rates). Thursday/Friday: Emergency patch if the bug is considered serious enough. Tuesday: Patch if the bug is not considered serious enough. As for when or if a compensation comes, I'd say that will be at least another week.

Voemel Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Your proposed schedule seems reasonable. However, I still feel the need to ask............................................. @Musco, Tait, Devs, any news regarding the drop disparity issue?

Darth_Wicked Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Your proposed schedule seems reasonable. However, I still feel the need to ask............................................. @Musco, Tait, Devs, any news regarding the drop disparity issue? Yeahhhhh... As much as I dislike admitting, this one probably takes precedence, at least assuming both issues are not related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you using a broom anyways? Just use the force and push it away that way. It would have been faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Natoorat Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) ^ I would imagine so. The real question is... What with the people who already bought "faulty" packs? EDIT: Ah, almost forgot... And what's up with collection unlock prices? For example: emotes unlock cost is 60CCs, but Emote: Hip Dip costs... wait for it... 600 CCs (that's SIX FREAKIN HUNDRED CCs).

Be interesting now to see how they address the pre-2.8.1 drop rates resulting in flooding the market with some armor boxes and a dearth of the others. Maybe they just let it sort itself out naturally. /shrug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
