With the decals in the supply caches, what happens if you win a decal you already have?

[Kotzi]

My bet would be on nothing.

Wow this would be a huge nerf then since the modules were replaced with decals.

How much are they worth in MC; maybe you get that?

[ScrapIron Prime]

It would be better if they could work out a "coupon" good for one decal of your choice...

Post #3 for you OP, and a derogatory one at that. Perhaps a tip since you have just started posting and it's not too late to turn back - post constructive feedback with specifics and possible solutions.

Probably just an alternate account. A salty alt.

I won a decal in a recent Challenge that I already owned.

There was no change to my account.

I suspect the same would be true to decals won in Supply Caches.

always thought we should be able to recycle cockpit items and decals we get duplicates of them.

[CJ Daxion]

well seeing decals and colors are the one thing you can't use more than one, i dunno. If you are talking event rewards, meh.. Not really worth doing something for this aspect.


Supply crates, while you can choose not to open, Perhaps a flat MC bonus instead would be the way to go. I am not sure i would go through the effort of making it 1 to 1.. But say if you opened something you owned, and if your account had it, it would give you a flat 200MC bonus instead Or what ever amount that is in relation to what that level reward is. (aka what MC is of that rarity value?) Even though the decal is worth X amount, i don't necessarily think the MC you get should be that amount. for example the 500 MC is super rare, decals not so much.

The one thing that would be the issue, is how it works on account injection, might be a tech reason why this is not the easiest thing to do. Seeing i have no idea how the back end/rewards work its all just a guess. Obviously a reward check system would need to be in place, and then the new reward added. It could be a ton of work for very little return.

Abstinence seems to be the best choice when you see a duplicate.

Do they put all preorder decals into the cache system?

[KevinZhang]

Is there anyone who has actually won a repeat decal?

Just sell the caches with dupes in them, you dummy!

Might be personal opinion but It's already a nerf as far as im concerned. Decals are either cheap(i mean not expensive) vanity items or very specialised vanity item(lore thing). You buy those you want/need. The ones in caches are pretty useless because if i dont own the cheap ones i most likely dont want it and if i wanted a specialised Clan Hells Horse decal i would have bought it already. A dragon head? Who wants a random dragon head? It's just filler in a cache. Most decals have limited use.

General things that cost mc would be random colours or chassis unlock pattern. I can see using those when i get a new mech, i dont see me using often a dragon head. I won an Alpha Strike, i put it on a single mech as a memento like i do with event vanity items but i dont see myself ever using it again.

Increasing the number of fielded decals could somewhat make random decals not useless. But im probably just gona use those i want anyways.

reputation pods could be a thing. Keep them or sell them. Not that there is anything to really do with rank.

Since I suspect the Supply caches are heavily biased to the cbill stuff, I find this unlikely. And there's probably some mechanic to prevent this, like if you were supposed to win a decal you already have, you'll just win that 250K cbills instead.. and you'd never know you were cheated anyway..
