thewitchdoctor Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 To those who bought packs from the new Club Vertica, Have the rarity and unlock prices been 'more in line' or 'more expected' as compared to earlier packs? I, personally, am not buying any CV packs. I am showing the team a 'less than expected' purchase to be 'more in line' with my opinion of the CM at present. But that's me. I am starting this thread to be a discussion point for how the two packs have compared or (hopefully) contrasted. And hopefully as a single-source of further feedback to the CM Team. Have the unlock prices been more in line with what they were before 2.8? Have the rarity of items been more in line with what they were before 2.8? Are we swamped with lower and supplementary crates, for example? For those new to the issue, here are the posts from the CS and CM Team in particular: I checked in with the CM team and it sounds like in general you will see both rarities and collections costs be a bit more expected in the Club Vertica pack! -eric My understanding is that rarities and collections costs will be more in line with previous packs. -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddballEasyEight Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) I think we'll have to wait until tomorrow at least to get a good indication on the drop rates as that is when people can put their stuff up on the GTN. Same thing with most of the unlocks. But early indications from people opening packs seem to be that droprates are back to normal (or at least closer to normal) Edited July 2, 2014 by OddballEasyEight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno_Tarshil Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Drop Rates from my experience seem to be more in line in this new pack. Maybe I got lucky or w/e but I got a good balance mix of upper, lower and supp boxes instead of what happened with the last pack. Dunno about the unlock prices though.

So I hope that your post is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kulyok Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 90cc for Shrewd Rascal! This comment made my day. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emeraldon Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Glad to hear the unlock prices for the sets are 90CC. When it comes to general rarity.. I don't know. I bought 3 Hypercrates, and 12 of the packs didn't have any rare item in them at all. No armor, mount or anything other than companion gift, jawa junk and Xp boosts.

Alec_Fortescue Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Junk? Most of those armors are Treasures to me. Junk as in items which, when put together, won't even amount to the price of the cartel pack they were drawn from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elfa Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) RNG is RNG is RNG but I do know one guildie who went through two hypercrates without a walker.

AMulls Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I KNOW his pain. 97 crates and no walker, no recharge, no Raptor and no Temple head or chest. 97 crates? Or 97 packs? If you bought 97 crates and didn't get any of those things, then RNG or not, I'd say there's something seriously wrong. Not to mention spending that much money on crates. 97 packs and I could maybe chalk it up to RNG, but even that's pushing it a bit in terms of what you got (or didn't get). I definitely found the rates are much more in line with previous packs. I completed almost all of the "generic" armor sets (upper, lower, supplementary) and the unlocks were 90 cc. I also managed to get all the pieces for the Temple Guardian, which is the one I really wanted, so that was huge. Got two Raptors, and a droid officer sidecar. Plus the dice roll regen and a yellow core Hawkeye crystal. All in all, it was a very good set of packs that I opened! Very pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
