valid Container Rerolls

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

It is rather annoying to get a high-tier item you do not care for from a container, for example a paint, when you would rather have supplies or crystals instead. So I propose a mechanic to reduce the frustration of such container openings.

After opening a container, you will be able to either accept the item that you have unboxed and move on, or forfeit it and open the same container again (without consuming any additional containers). However, upon reopening a container, you will only be able to receive an item with a rarity lower than the rarity of the item you initially unboxed.

For example, suppose you unboxed a shot effect, which has Epic rarity. If you choose to forfeit the shot effect and reopen the container, you will only be able to get an item of either Common, Uncommon, or Rare rarities. Suppose now you unbox an Uncommon item. If you choose to forfeit it and reopen the container again, you will only be able to get a Common item. Once you unbox a Common item, you will not be able to reopen the container.

I do not think such a mechanic would have a significant impact on the economy, since you will only be able to trade an unboxed item for a "worse" item. In addition if a player chooses to reopen containers it is possible for them to get the same unique item multiple times from different containers, which could be profitable for the game.

Similar Idea: Exchanging container or challenge rewards for items you want

Probably be 75 tankoins. Not even worth it. And why would TO allow a reroll? Might as well buy another container. A better solution is to use Gacha-mechanics. TO releases the rarity odds. Each time you get something bad, the % for something really rare would increase very slightly. And when you do pull something insanely rare, the % for something rare again goes down.

Currently, once you receive a unique item, like a paint, from a container, you will never receive it again. With this mechanic if you reroll and forfeit a unique item you will have a chance of receiving it again in the future, which is good from a business standpoint.

But they don't accept good ideas though. If you make it sound more lousy or ridiculous then it might have a chance of being implemented by next month.

in conclusion gambling is bad, it gets worse on casinos

Didn't buy them - they were weekly rewards.  So no gambling... just a big  for luck.

But you still used something (aka your time and effort) to get them. So technically it probably still could be considered gambling.

meh.

And... I only got that many containers because I spent 500 TKs to get gold tier to obtain the Dictator EMP.  I got what I paid for - the containers were "bonus".  Relatively a bad bonus - but bonus it was.
