Item piece and item tryout.

like my post from training grounds, I have an idea called ‘tryout’
In this event, you’ll be able to select any item ad use it. But if you win, you earn no loot, you just tr out weapons.
It’s a safe way to get practice and to master the weapon of choice.

My second idea was to change how item pieces work.
It’s a buff and nerf to people who like it and don’t.
So, for the pieces, it’s like this:
1 rare item piece, you buy it from the shop, it has no colour, and you combine it.
You can select yellow, red, blue, or green versions once you have 5/5 pieces.
It’ll give you a item of colour, but you get to select which weapon you want.
Tired or the horrible rng, and luck? Well, give this a like for more less rng content.
It applies with any colour and any rarity of choice.

But here is a solution to balaced it out.
I rare item piece, from star crate. 3 uncommon.
Uncommon = 50% of dropping rip (rare item piece)
Common = 30% of dropping rip.
Rare = 150% of dropping rip.
Epic = 300% of dropping rip.
Common crate = 40% of dropping rip.

Now for epic item piece
Uncommon = 10%
Common = 5%
Rare = 20%
Epic = 150%
1-2 eip from premium crate.
10% from star crate
5% from free crate

Leggy?
Uncommon = 2%
Common = 1%
Rare = 4%
Epic = 7-8%

If this makes you unhappy, then, make it like you still need 10/10 pieces to combine.

Add upgrading parts back in the game, like, they offer large amount of upgradage and can be found in the shop etc.

Extra
To make upgrading fun again, make it so you fuse an item. It’s item + useless item/power cell/upgrading parts + sugar = upgraded item.
To tier up, you need power cell, and dup.
This will make commons and uncommons useful again.

 

Premium crate? Are you referring to the box which gives you a ton of stuff ( or 10 premium chests as advertised)?

It already gives 9 epic item pieces, no need to lower the amount by 7 or 8.

And duplicates are extremely hard to get, especially for leggies and epics. I don't want to have to get 50 epic item duplicates just to get T5, it would be ridiculous. It would kill the game. Leave duplicates for tier up.

 

That’s what I meant

 

Then I majorly disagree with your idea. Nobody would buy the 3900 pearl crate just for 2 pieces when they could buy 9 or 10 chests and get many more pieces.

And why do you want duplicates to be needed to UPGRADE items? Getting a duplicate to tier up an item is hard enough as is, now you want to make it so you need a duplicate to upgrade? That would make T5 items impossible to get, and pretty much everyone would begin to hate the game due to upgrading being hard as fuck. Game would die. Though fortnite and PUBG might get a buff

So I'll just grab your idea and toss it in the garbage can. Actually, I'll toss it in the 'hazardous waste' bin. Come back when you get an idea that will BOOST game revenue/ player happiness. Not lower it

 

Oops I said not dup to upgrade, to EVOLVE. Oops me I was rushing. My ideas are like treasure

 

Useless item?
So epic Ex cannon+ epic gear lube/rudder= upgrade? Still extremely overpriced, epics are hard to get :/

 

Nonooono. If you played in the beginning it’s like this:
Sniper (rare) + rudder (uncommon) / power cell + sugar = level up.
The combining peice can be any rarity, but if it’s lower than the sniper, it gives less
It won’t give an automatic level up, just a chunk of leveling it up.
