Buy Crate items (Zp+Gp)

CPTkk · June 2010

Now this may seem like a reaaaalllyyy bad idea at first, but bear with me =/

Ok, so im sure many of you are tired of opening '500 to the power of infinty' crates to get sprays,namecards, and gp.

Seeing how GP crates are 2000gp each, and ZP crates being 1000Zp each, instead of having to open crates, how bout just buying the permanent gun, but for 30x the crate price.

E.G ~ Aug-Camo crates are 2000gp, buy it perm for 60k gp
AK-47 Scope crates are 1000Zp, buy it perm for 30k ZP

*some optional additioins

1.Make this function available for those who have bought at least 50 crates for that item

E.G ~ I bought 30 crates for a Kriss-V, this function is not available. I buy 20 more and still dont get the Kriss, but i still have 30k Zp left (boy im rich xD), i can now buy the Kriss for 30k Zp~This is so we dont get our money drained out of our pockets, spending 500 dollars on crates then getting nothing

2. Make the chances of getting the gun higher.

3. Make a ZP+GP item which increases the chance of receiving the gun

E.G ~ ZP/GP Crate Luck Increase - 3000 Zp/Gp - Increases the chance of receiving a crate item by 25% for 10 crates

P.S Black Market is sooo rigged

I like this idea.

SW4Tmafia · June 2010

haha, nah, whole point is to make you gamble, some ppl get it on first try, it isnt rigged, just hard. LOL!

CPTkk · June 2010

but for people who dont want to gamble, just want a permanent ZP crate item. Make them gamble a bit (50 crates like i said) then if they get tired of it, have them recharge and just get the gun. That way:

Player who got 100 dollars for b-day: Woot im going to buy 100k ZP!

*Player buys 50 Ak-Knife crates*
*Player gets Sprays*
*Player metaphorically shoots himself in the back of the head*
*Player reads message: "You have bought 50 of these crates, would you like to spend 30k ZP to buy this gun permanently?"
Player: YES YES YES YES!

Player is happy since he got the gun

z8 is happy cuz they made 100 smackaroos

man i dont get how ppl farm
im getting ranked up on my alt to try and win beretta by farming and ive only done it 4-5 times ( 150 kills ) and im SO sick of it
OT: sorta sounds good, sorta sounds bad xD. it soun ds like a good plan but then again whats the point of BM if u can just buy the gun

CPTkk · June 2010

well, thats why maybe have the buy 50 crates first then buy the gun

M60Katzen · June 2010

I think the original idea is great, and with the 50-crate prereq. it's fine for Z8's tastes (maybe.).

I've bought countless Ana-B and Deagle-C crates, Thompson/Winchester crates, MSG90 Crates...hell, pretty much everything except the M16S, AUG-C and AK camo. Mostly because I got outrageously lucky and won the XM8-Adv on the first crate, but hey.

In any case, I totally support this idea.

rofl, Z8 taste would be 500 crates pre.req.

EDIT: DUNT BAN ME </3

RELAXY · June 2010

If they did this then Z8 couldn't take advantage of the addictive nature of gambling to make profits, while at the same time getting kids started on a life long gambling problem. Can you tell I didn't win the AR70?

CPTkk · June 2010

I understand z8 implements the black market to take advantage of people who burn money to try and get an item which has a 0.5% chance of getting (someone fix that), so hows about having so you only get a chance every 50 crates you buy (but let the ppl that already bought 50+ crates before this implement get a chance as soon as they enter Black Market.) So players have a chance to buy the gun at 50/100/150 etc crates, so gamblers will have to buy in increments of 50 crates until they get worn out and decide to buy it

Nub8 · June 2010

Dude very very bad idea. I see players winning permanent guns from crates everytime i play. And your gonna increase the chances of winning it? Plus like you said your rich you would have most of the gp/zp crates and its not fair to the non-zp buyers.

CPTkk · June 2010

lol im actually not rich, im dirt poor. It was just a scenario

but shouldnt the paying players have an advantage over the gp players?

Henley64 · June 2010

That's what the coupons are for. If you aren't lucky enough, you can get it (not all BM weapons) with coupons.

NO NO NO NO it is 2 make u gamble i got kriss super v on first crate look up lef*u*2*kill and it will show u my profile so no

iHATEz9 · June 2010

I won a Deagle-C on my 7th crate and an AR on my 2nd. I still support this idea despite the obvious benefits I've reaped from the BM.

Yea...i guess the coupons can do that =(, hopefully they add some GP crate items to coupon shawp

Mathaholic · June 2010

NO!, then what's the idea of BP mall or the Black Market.

TheEvilTwin · February 2011

buying the weapon is just the opposite idea of bm but maybe it can like the more u buy crates for the wep the higher ur chance to get the wep

THis is all about luck. Some people just open 1 crate then get it, some dont get anything after 500 crates =]]. There're good and bad points of it. Mostly, bad, because Z8 need money from it. This is a FREE GAME.

i totally agree with u man, and about the GP/ZP item that increases the percentage of having the perm weapon i think its a good idea.

Borg0vermind · February 2011

I consider ZP crates a scam. You actually pay for a trial weapon as permanents won't even be given at 100 opened crates. I never got a permanent weapon.

So I agree with the initial idea. Give us perma-weapons for ZPs.
Since ZPs are ZPs, prices for them should be at about 1/3 of a GP value. Example RPK GP 60k, RPK Adv ZP 20k.
