War Spoils - Open Beta

Hey Nigo, do you mind quoting my post and editing it into your OP?

Done.

Just downloaded it and there's some interesting changes

Show Spoiler

looks really good.
now I got 1 question though:

How much of the currency do you get for selling your commander/bulletin?

I cant reply to this yet as im going to sleep for the night.
I also briefly tested in a custom game and it doesnt look like you earn points towards your next drop by playing custom games so rip pepperidge farms.

My best bet answering your question is probably 10% to 25% of the store value of the item.

YES RELIC. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESS!

I feel like if more people knew this was using the Patch test, more people would download it. AUTOMATCH with the new balance preview people!!!!

Yeah, thats the reason why I'm downloading it right now

I don't understand why they are doing another one...

Foot in the door technique. The sooner they shove it on us the better and more palatable it will be. Most people are begging for some solution so most people will happily oblige and overlook the negatives, which wmay affect their profit margin.

Heya guys, does test servers go offline? I just cant connect and test warspoil system FeelsBadMan

So if they release this in full in a month or two will we have to d/l the ENTIRE game?

Surely they'd sort out a patch before then- right?

BTW, I wrote up my own guide for speeding up the download process before finding this thread. It might be a little clearer than Relic's post for some people:

Duplicate inventory items that were earned using a War Spoils farming mod will be salvaged without any Supply given to the player. In other words, farmed War Spoils have a Supply value of 0

I think there will be a little bit of "Player frustration"...

Haha rekt. Maybe that will teach people to just play the game instead of farming for ever and ever.

Easy come, easy go.

Play legit kids or get rekt

X-post from official forum feedback:

It does feel like a bit of a blow to find that 30 duplicate commanders are needed to get one I want. Basically, if something has an already established (and significant!) real-world worth like commanders do, then people are going to be alienated to receive peanuts in exchange for what they see as their amassed virtual wealth.

I guess it's padded out by however many other duplicate items I have, but I'd really like to hear if there was any rationalisation for putting a flat refund price on every type of item. Otherwise I would strongly advocate offering tiered refund prices (based on % of market value) to avoid community backlash. The news about the farming mod refund price made me laugh out loud though

I also strongly feel that bulletins should be reworked before releasing these changes. As other people point out, they are almost entirely worthless without stacking. Since the new system will allow people to obtain the bulletins they want without the hassle of achievements or random drops, it makes sense to rework them to something at least slightly meaningful before the final release. I appreciate that's easier said than done, but once again backlash from the community would be reduced if bulletins were revised/deleted before people started buying them and then having them revoked (unless it was for a full loot refund).

Agreed, bulletins should mean something now, not to much of course but something.
And the cost of some items like commanders should be lower. Nice post.

Considering that you get 2k points for a victory (as shown in the screenshot) I think the prices are kinda fair. A new commander every 6th game...

The only think they should change is that duplicate commanders give more currency than duplicate bulletins

Its 2k points until next war spoil, not actual 2k currency.

oops my bad then. I don't have the beta installed^^

I haven't played the Beta, but the Alpha, were the points meant only the time until your next war spoil drop.

You cannot get any "currency" in other ways than salvaging double bulletins/commanders/skins.

(In the Alpha)

So yeah. That sucked. Nice to be able to talk about it now.
The new system is bad. You can't reliably accumulate points by playing games, you still have to "hope" for duplicates. This is simply stupid.

(Please remember that everything I wrote is based on my Alpha experiences, not Beta.)
