JediRelentless Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) The price of a hypercrate should never be higher than the price of buying the equal amount of single packs, right? Edited June 6, 2017 by JediRelentless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taurax Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Yup, it is cheaper. So, now we have to do 24 purchases. Ah well, blessing for some of us. Tulok Hord's armor set, the Ceremonial mystic set, perhaps the Enhanced Assailant's set (for a different looking companion) are nice sets. Some of the mounts are cool, but... I'll still wait.

docbenwayddo Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 In case anyone is buying the cheaper individual packs in bulk in hopes of getting Cartel Certificates: The Nightlife Packs, like the Shipment 1 Cartel Packs DO NOT drop Cartel Certificates.

Darkside Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Guess someone at EAWare misplaced their calculator! Or it's a trick to make people think that they need to hurry up and buy the individual packs before they fix it. In which case that is master level sales technique.

JattaGin Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 @Everyone: Please buy a lot of packs. I am still missing Tulak's helmet. The more you put on the market, the "cheaper" it will get. I count on you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Post EricMusco Posted June 6, 2017 Dev Post Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) Please don't fix it until I get home. The race is on, Darkside Pack price was supposed to be 225 CC per pack, which is why the discrepancy existed between pack and hypercrate pricing. It will be getting updated within the next 30 or so minutes. Thanks everyone. -eric Edited June 6, 2017 by EricMusco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have never dropped full armor set boxes (unless you get one out of a Chance Cube nowadays). I'm afraid you won't get your refund, because the Nightlife packs are not only working as intended, they're working as they've always worked, nothing has been changed.

Cross-posting from other thread dealing more directly with this tangent: I'm pretty sure you're thinking of the Grand Nightlife Pack that was first released just under a year after the original Nightlife Packs. That one had full armor sets, but a significantly higher price-point. The original Nightlife Packs always had the Upper / Lower / Supplemental boxes for some armors and individual pieces for others. If you want proof just go back to the forum posts from when they were first released (summer 2014) and see the posts where people were bringing up the disparity in drop rates between different pieces within the same sets (that's what led to the Rectified Brawler and Amended Mystic sets being released, because when it came to the Nimble Brawler and Ceremonial Mystic sets, the Nightlife Packs would drop a metric ton of Lower Body Armor boxes, but almost no Upper or Supplemental boxes). Couple examples of threads discussing the original Nightlife Packs and the individual pieces / U/L/S boxes: Question Regarding: Disparity in Drop Rates for Armor Boxes Of The Same Set Star Cluster Nightlife Pack item chances Edited June 7, 2017 by DarthDymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks everyone. -eric For the record... it would have been nice of you guys to just knock down the price of the hypercrate a tad, rather than increasing the price of the individual packs so people who didn't take advantage of the mistake now have to pay more. It's not the end of the world and I'm not upset or anything, it just would have been nice Edited June 7, 2017 by AscendingSky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tip: these particular packs NEVER included full armor set boxes, so you will not get a refund. And if you try a charge back.. they will perma ban your account.

Fixed it for you, but yeah I'm glad Eric, Keith, and now Charles are posting more. We've really needed interaction for quite some time, so I'm happy they are doing so. I think they should even set up some forum games now and then for the positivity it would foster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightblazer Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 For those asking about armor set drops vs individual pieces this is the official post on it. Hey folks, I wanted to add some clarification to the topic, just to avoid any further confusion. The Star Cluster's Nightlife pack and the Club Vertica's Nightlife pack both operate the same way as all standard packs. They drop armor sets in Upper, Lower, and Supplementary boxes except for rare armor sets, such as Tulak Hord, which drop as individual pieces. There is a compilation pack called the Grand Nightlife pack which we release from time to time that works differently. That is a "best of" pack and drops armor in full set boxes. The two packs on the market right now do not work this way, they drop armor in the standard fashion listed at the top of this post. I hope this clears up any confusion! -eric PS - vivid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
