Speaking of weekly, badrates

I rolled it 6x and got two golds (both the same), one bronze, two reds, and one blue

33% gold turnout.

Fucking horrible rates indeed, fuck you Cyberstep, refund fucking where.

By weekly standards...?

Plus it seems rigged against non-Renny golds and... any silvers.

Silver rate so low; I want silvers :<

And CB releases yet another money sink into the game. I find it somewhere between amusing and sad that some people spend more on CB, a "free" game, then they would have spent had they chosen to play World of Warcraft.

It's not money spending people are against, it's what that money gets you. Cb is better compared to trading card games or legos.

Wait, you just said CB is a better use of money than Legos? Blasphemy. Legos are one of the best toys one can have (though I must admit the recent product lines can be...lacking, but hey, making your own stuff is the whole point).

Nowhere in that post do I state anything remotely close to CB being better than legos. I compared CB to legos, compared . "Better" here is to state that the comparison of CB to legos is superior to the comparison of Cb to World of Warcraft.

ppl still spend rt. Im just play other ppls accounts who still spends rt problem .

Bloody Desirometer; I wanted Renny and with 2 5x (the last 5x I got 3 Crim bonus of no bronze and below) I got:

3 Crescent Saints
2 ZSC
1 Medi Aide

I would gladly trade the 3 Crescent Saints for a Renny ACRO...
;_;

Gah, stupid lack of rt keeping me from getting a MediAide! Boooo!!

They'd better not release Ouka in that Daily Gara. I don't have any money...

isn't that also the point of cosmic break

LEGOS AND COSMIC BREAK ARE ONE AND THE SAME

I agree! In some other way CB is the new LEGO in this Century.

It seems that the rates aren't so bad, but still is just luck xD

7 bots out of 20 rolls, I've gotten more cores from rolling prior garas. From a weekly standpoint rate is pretty bad. I've done quite a few single 5 rolls that spat out 4-3 bots on weekly, but as you said luck is luck.

yeah right.

I rolled once on the sheriff gara with an exclamation point on it and suprisingly got a silver pockeball with a build arm mod.
I didn't expect to get that pockeball, cause I was expecting the gold ones to came out.

The world needs less people like this Virux guy.

*edit* and more people with understandable logic.

! only means they remove the blue balls Virux. It doesn't mean you auto get gold. That's..like...some... really rare gara slot thing? (I've never gotten it before so beats me).

Anyway, I agree with more of the fact that CB is like a TCG moreso than lego. Why?

Because in Lego, I don't try to build ships and cars to crash into my bro's legos (unless that was our little game which isn't in most cases). For many, lego is creativity and art built into a simple block form (much like minecraft). And that they hate to see their sculptures destroyed and worst off, the pieces lost D:

Meanwhile, CB is more like kicking someone else's butt. You roll gara/buy shop to get new bots, just like how you buy TCG packs or buy it more expensively from a shop/person for what you want.

Except here, the packs cost like 16 bucks for 5. IRL, they don't.

But at least people can't sell you a card that's redonk rare for like 300 bucks. Though I'm sure a lot of people will fork over that money for bots....

Overall value is the same in CB vs TCG., I have magic decks sitting around that put together are worth more than what I've spent in CB (trading up however minimizes cost). While your "pack" size is different in both cost and contents, the over all value is similar due to things like trash cards, and more so trash rares. One of the nice things about CB is that the trash gold pool is pretty small, and even then, you can actually still pull a use from those bots cause of parts 99% of the time.

Most of the stuff people pull from gara, even if they didn't want it is pretty good regardless. Even blue balls are decent cause they contain a damn slot protector and mats.

I do wish there was a poverty gara of sorts. I think daily gara would be better if it was 8 bucks, had 1 gold, 2 silver, 2bronse, 2 copper. Shit rate? yah but it's dirt cheap and changes on a 24h basis.
