NEW Black Market...

Safis

The good, the bad and the Ugly

The GOOD:

1.) Nice sounds
2.) New auto spin is fast, I'm actually encouraged to auto spin
3.) Being able to view items from crates you've opened previously is nice
4.) Time left on current sales.


The BAD:

1.) When spinning crates... being able to purchase more crates of same type without switching menus was nice
2.) Being able to switch to my other ZP crates to spin without switching menus was nice
3.)when selecting a crate, seeing all previous winners of that crate and which permanent weapons they won, was nice.

The UGLY:
1.) The layout of new menus is a kick to the groin to veteran players.
2.) items redeemable for crate coupons is practically worthless. let me redeem 500 crap sprays for 1 coupon and i'd be happy, but under current mode only guns & grenades from ZP crates seem to be redeemable.
3.) worthless items that can't be exchanged for coupons must be accepted to inventory 12 at a time. You can't just accept all trash (hey it is what it is). so rather than everything just going to inventory.. now i have to sort through pages upon pages of items and "accept" them. This is busy work for players and helps the game in no way other than, to let a few players rid themselves of duplicate weapons which could easily be solved by a [SELL] button on the extra crap guns.



Other Thoughts:

because the spinning itself makes little difference and the moment the "hammer is dropped" determines crate wins there isn't much difference between the new and the old spin.


note, a personal thought: I might say "having a gun pointed at me in black market constantly, after throwing cash at you makes me feel like i'm getting robbed....." but hey I guess that's pay to win in a nutshell.

Spinning animation doesnt take 10 years now so you can spin quickly and move on.

My feedback on the new Black Market:

Positives:

• Easy to use.
• New design looks better.
• Spinning is a lot faster.
• Shows overall winner list.
• Being able to view winning items while spinning.
• Being able to destroy items you don't need.
• Having a Black Market storage to sort out your items.
• Fever system for the Black Market is helpful!

Negatives:

• No longer can we see the winners of each crate like before.
• When buying more than 10 crates, the Black Market switches to a different menu. So it's harder to buy 200 crates of something.

Improvements:

• The "Congratulations" message you get when you win a rare item no longer shows up. I always thought this was a nice thing when winning rare items. It also makes it easier to separate normal items and rare items when you see the "Congratulations" message for the rare items.
• There needs to be option which you can turn on/off which allows the system to automatically take screenshots when winning rare items. I think this feature would be very useful.

Overall, I am very pleased that we're the first version to get this new Black Market and I hope to see more exclusive content for CFNA in the future, even if it's only for one month!

I think we are the first like test subject. If we have too much complaint, it won't get to any other versions and if we do, then everyone else will get it.

Also I would like to add to the improvements section is:

• Having the ability to move more than 12 items to the storage or having the ability to move everything to your storage with one button.

its garbage. feel sorry that the z8 admins gotta run this poop hole

Adding my thoughts:

Pro:
- Previously on auto spin, if you won an item, you'd have to be really fast to stop auto spin or you would miss the chance at getting a screenshot. In the current version, if you win something on auto spin, it's about a 3 second delay before it goes on to the next spin. I've had no problems getting a screenshot of my win

Con:
- I was hoping that under the new system duplicate perm weapons could also be exchanged for coupons (which would at least help with keeping players' storage from running into the capacity issue). That's not the case.

Pros:
The Luck gauge.
You can chose to move rewarded items to your Personal Storage.
Dismantle system.
Faster auto spin

Cons:
Auto spin can't spin more than 100 crates at once.
Take more time to buy multiple times the same crates.
In "items won" we can move/dismantle at max 12 items per time.

New Spin Controls

• [*=1Setup the position of your crates before you spin by selecting "Space" while selecting your preferred crate!
• Control the power of the Spin using the new Push button on the Crate Opening Screen!

I can see that it moves the golden crate but i can't understand why we can move it....is just visual or in some places you have more chances to win ?
What's the benefit


Some suggestions
About Items Won:
I saw that all items are separated, that's means that we can move at max 12 of them, so what about if there was an option to mark and move all of them at the same time ?
Example: Let's say that i have 70 times flash guard and i wanna move them to storage, that means i have to mark them 6 times to move them in my storage. So what about if there was an option to move all of those 70 at once ?

About crates purchases:
Add more purchases options like 50 crates or 100 crates, at least for the GP crates.

Pretty this.

I think a button to "Destroy all items" that can be destroyed would be nice and in the same vein a button to accept all items into your inventory.

Nobody cares to see the recent winners

they should remove the winning notifications in the chat, I don't care if [*-*555mohamed_isis-*] won ["Clock"] from the black market.

I wouldn't say nobody cares...but there should be an option to turn it off and on. And even an option to turn it off while ingame, but not off while in lobby.

Uhm what about the idea of putting back the normal winrates? i buy zp since 2009 and it's pretty obvious it has changed..
all i'm saying is that alot will stop investing... in my case i spinned about 500-750 euro's on 1 or 2 crates alone and there was no win.
wouldn't have happend years back 4sho

Ugh.. just not cool and thats my opinion about the 'new' 'flashy' blackmarket

My friend won all the new glorious phoenix weapons in less than 50 crates. I've spun around 250 and not won anything.
The win rates haven't changed, you're just unlucky.

Edit: Also this thread was created months ago. If you want to talk about the black market don't post on several month old topics, start a new one instead.
