Saregon Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 They put some old stuff back on the market today, just here to say definitely DON'T buy the hypercrates, you can buy 24 individual packs (6000 CCs) for less CCs than the hypercrate costs (6480 CCs). LOL GG BW P.S. Also don't buy them because the drops are bugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rankyn Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'm not seeing anything on sale that even remotely resembles your math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikinai Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'm not seeing anything on sale that even remotely resembles your math. It's the new math, you have to understand new math, not the old math, where 2+2=7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saregon Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Or just not being jerks helps too... http://dulfy.net/2016/08/16/swtor-cm-weekly-sales-august-16-23/ Old Hypercrates = 6480 CCs for 24 packs Individual Packs = 250 CCs...250 X 24 = 6000 CCs Yep, math is hard, I win.

Rankyn Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Nope. 1) That image on Dulfy is not what is being reflected in game and 2) it also doesn't reflect what is shown in the text below it. So pretty much fail all around for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So pretty much fail all around for you. Then they changed it after I pointed out the obvious blunder, so I still win. You'll learn eventually, I always win.

Well, as the reigning Queen of the Internet, I'd like to welcome you to the internet, you must be new here. Take a look around, see the sights, and most importantly, don't take it too seriously.

Brexten Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Not even mentioning that the new hyper crates come with quite a chunk less packs in them than the old ones... Same packaging with less content and the same price. I call foul on this one BW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec_Fortescue Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Seem to have adjusted the price to original values? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec_Fortescue Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Apparently, I wonder how many people they tricked before fixing the obvious mistake. It wasn't a mistake, they can and will put these items for whatever prices they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saregon Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 It wasn't a mistake, they can and will put these items for whatever prices they want. Putting them up for 6480 and then changing them to 5400 later this morning...yep clearly not a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannidles Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Or better yet... don't buy them so they are encouraged to release direct for sale armor and weapons on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruticis Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'll be purchasing several hypercrates of each pack to encourage them to do the same with other older packs. This is a great chance to fill up my collection that I missed while I was away from the game. Ignore the XXXclusive twits that want to hoard all the old stuff for themselves or sell them for outrageous prices on the GTN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLordKRH Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I've stopped spending CC's on any of the packs, especially since they removed the certificates you used to get. Kind of pointless now, even for collections. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've re-released older packs... definitely a step in the right direction instead of credit nerfs since this actually does fight inflation by increasing supply.

It provides availability when BioWare choose not to provide that availability by not having items up for direct sale. That makes those players that do this twits now does it? Supply and demand sets pricing, not some sense of obligation to set the prices low regardless of supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 So do these packs have certs or not? No. Five items per pack, but no certs. That said, I bought one crate of each of the four types, and I got *SIX* Covert Energy (invisible) chest pieces. But they do have "shower of credits" tokens in them.

Bloodstealer Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Sure getting older crates older stuff helps with the supply demand price hiking but... why on gods earth do they promote the crates as having a crafting material of at least prototype quality when the 2 lots i've gotten out of a couple of crates is now obsolete in game and no longer useable.. its vendor trash. As for the credit boxes... great ploy to push additional Cartel sales for Escrow transfers BW Edited August 17, 2016 by Bloodstealer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowermanx Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 These are shipment 1 packs, they never had certificates in them to start with, certs didn't start till shipment 2, the Contraband Packs. Welps, then the entire exercise is pretty pointless, since old stuff drops from chance cubes, too, yes? If you're after a specific item from these, you are far far better off buying these packs as you're not rolling against all the other shipments, packs and every item ever sold on the CM. Mathematically, you have a better chance of winning your state lottery than getting a specific item you're after from a chance cube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
