Hey guys, you may have seen me in games at some point. im usually in the US servers and topping leaderboards on PS5 (love annhilating PC players) im easily recognizable because if you have had me on your team you will always have a rally point and a APC. And you will always see me spam ‘GOOD JOB, NO, BUILD RALLY POINT, YES’ endlessly if you are a room temperature IQ player.
Now on to the point of gold boxes. I think everyone has valid points about the cosmetics and the price of the gold boxes being a bit too high. Imo honestly they could lower it by 100 gold and increase chance of weapon pulls. But as for squads i think 12-15% pull rate is actually really good.
I opened about 14,000 gold worth. and got 6 event squads along with loads of weapons and lots of cosmetics. yeah it can be expensive but being able to get a good shot at pulling a event squad or old premium squad for the gold you spend is actually okay. A premium squad itself can cost a ridiculous amount of money. for the amount of gold i spent the amount of squad i get was technically good value especially since ALL of them are no long accessible other then by silver box.
Whereas with the silver box earlier this year i spent 2 million and got literally nothing. No squads.
This time i spent 1.6 million and got 4 squads lots of weapons and a billion boosters.
The time i commited to grinding that 1.6 million silver with the meager potential rewards vs 14000 gold and what i got is no comparison. I got lucky this time with the silver boxes, i pulled what i really wanted (the japanese type 99 flag squad) but I will never grind for silver again. The chance to get what you want is just too low from a silver box.
The gold boxes though? should they come around again i will be reserving $100+ everytime they do because chances are i will get my monies worth. I mean hey i pulled 6 squads and lots of weapons. I am very satisfied.
That being said i do again agree they should reduce the cost required down to say 200-250 gold. and increase weapon pull rate and decrease cosmetic pull rate. maybe bump the squad pull rate from 12% to 14%. and definitely add a pity system.
Anyway thats just my two cents!. For those willing to spend money on the game to get rare event squads i think its not so bad.
