New currency and store for OP 4

Gears 5
#196

I’ve been playing pop waiting for op4 to come out. Pop has a two level currency mechanism which works OK. One thing I like is you can use the "higher (crystal) " level currency to buy the lower, more useful currency. Some stuff you can only get with crystal so there is a useful strategy decision to be made. Really powerful upgrades are expensive as they should be, but not out of reach for people that can’t play that often. You sacrifice other stuff to upgrades.

Not a big fan of the clan system for horde. I’d like to see a lobby like system for choosing like big boy gears.

Anyway the point is there’s some interesting stuff in pop that my be useful in 5.

For the record I was throwing out “Goins” tongue and cheek. I mean its as original and creative as Gear Coins…ya know…just combining Gears and coins. I guess i could have said “Coirs”

#202

how much coins do the horde cards cost?

#203

Common - 60
Uncommon - 300
Rare - 1000
Legendary - 4000

#204

20k to go from level 5 to 6 for epic.

#205

Scrap got multiplied by 1.2 in conversion. But 4* cards had a cost increase of 1.667. So we lost value in scrap conversion. Gee thanks TC & @mjrdecision

You might have lost value in a scrap conversion if skill cards were the only thing to be considered.
But since you can now use the Gears Coins to purchase character skins it is considerably better value.

#207

Yes, it looks like weve been screwed over on the conversion rate.
The scrap conversion rate seems to be x1.2, but the cost of horde cards compared to scrap is 1.5 to 1.67
It was better to upgrade cards with the old scrap before OP4.
From here on in its down to if we can earn coins faster than scrap.
I should have upgraded my clayton cards yesterday…

Not telling us this conversion rate before today, and having this conversion rate is a total ■■■■ move by TC. I expect to be compensated by 47% coins of my old scrap total.

So you assume I care about character or weapon skins? Skill cards help in Horde & Escape. What benefit does a skin give, other than looking cool?

For those of you who have played from the beginning, what skins are not available for purchase in the store? Which ones were kept locked?

I didn’t see the chrome steel ones? What else is missing.

Islander Lahni
Workout Fahz
Gilded Baird
Winter Armor Cole
Motor Pool Lizzie
Academy Anthony
Biker Gary
Savage Swarm Drone
Savage Elite Hunter
Krampus Scion
Collector’s Palace Guard

These aren’t all, just some of the one’s I have that I’ve noticed, but they’re all labeled “featured” so I’m sure they’ll make their way to the store eventually. There’s also things like Bloodred Speaker / Armored Ronin Kantus / Blood Moon Imago / Esports Kait but those are ToD / “loyalty series” rewards they said wouldn’t end up in the store.

Surprised finger point is the store. It was previously a timed ToD objective reward, only gotten by mastering all hives in Op 1. So hardly any people had it. Is Classic Baird in the store as well? A lot of the stuff just says unlocked for me because I had it already from ToD. If I see it there, does that mean other people can buy it or is it just showing me what I have already?

Where do you see them labeled featured?

#213

Domt think they will make skins from previous TOD available.

#214

In my inventory, when selecting a skin it’ll say under the name. So like Armored Anthony is “essentials” but Academy Anthony is “featured”. I assume this means Academy Anthony and other skins labeled featured will become part of the featured tab in the store at some point.

Oh nice. Guess I need to check my inventory and see.

Islander Lahni is the only one I don’t have from your list. Not too bothered about that one.

#216

There are skins for Lahni? :confused:
