Would be nice if they converted to coins.
Yes but the ceiling is just being raised to max out skills. Players will still eventually hit the ceiling and thereāll be excess cards.
I was hoping for a system like this at launch.
Pay for the characters you want and know your gonna get to get the now
OR
Wait a few weeks and earn them through in game currency and playing.
This is a great model. Revenue can still be earned through players who want it now and may not play enough to earn them.
And players who do not wish to spend more money on the game can earn them through gameplay.
Itās a win win in my book. I work a lot so I see something cool Iāll buy it. If it doesnāt catch my eye right away but looks good, I know I can play and save my coins for later.
So far OP4 is spot on. Iām loving all these changes. Keep up the great work.

yeah but then theyāll just do it like Gears 4 and let you scrap duplicates for scā¦ I mean Gears Coins.
Weāll see what they say come tomorrow about it.
I wouldāve called the currency COG tags but ok.
Would like to see the conversion scale from iron.
Looks like PVE is more pay to win now.
I suppose Iām ok with that.

I like Cog tags. Fits better than coins.

So should I blow all my scrap now since they said it will be āgoneā come Op 4? Not that I have very much to begin with.
No it will convert to coins in Op 4
So current scrap is getting exchanges for coins? i hope they dont screw us on the exchange rate.
Current scrap rates
Green - 5 drop, 40 upgrade
Blue -20 drop, 100 upgrade
Purple - 150 drop, 600 upgrade
Gold - 600 drop, 2400 upgrade
Totem cost 100.
So if current scrap is converted 5scrap = 1 coin, Id expect to seethe same coin store costs. say,
8 coins for Green Dom skin?
480 coins for Gold Dom skin?
and the earn rates compared to current horde maybe 1 to 4 coins every 10 waves?
Also does this mean that scraping duplicate skill cards is now off the table? - or could we change duplicate cards to coins?
They did something similar on starwars battlefront 2 and that worked at the same āoldā rate.
Until firm detail come out i think this could turn out to be a sideways step.

Still no word on any scrap or coin compensation for all the excess duplicate skill cards, is there?
It sounds promising. But is the gameplay still lacking? (I havenāt played since early operation 2)
in relation to what? which mode?
Cool, You reckon theyāll still do the Operation Bundles?
Probablyā¦

If they did I wonder what characters will be in them? I imagine a few will be in tour of duty.
If getting the prerequisite coins to purchase ONE skin is as much grind as it takes to get the desert camo gnasher, alot of people are going to be very unhappy with this change.
And here I was about to drop $60 on the three operation character packs tomorrow. Guess I should wait, huh?

As someone whoās a dolphin Iām glad old ā ā ā ā is coming back and other people can get the items they want by playing the game.
I figure theyāll keep the Chrome Steel 100% purchasable with iron because thatās there to support esports, which isnāt bad because TOD iron still exists and a smart player will wait to get what they want.
Iām really happy that the people can get the skins they want by just playing the game and whales and dolphins like me can just buy the ā ā ā ā we want with iron and not have to grind so much.

Already been confirmed esports stuff remains iron exclusive. The new store will hopefully be great like gears 4 minus the dreadful RNG of course.
Iām guessing Iron, Coins, boost and an exclusive weapon skin set.
Fair enough for 20$
