Collectable Stat Cards have were introduced into the game almost a month ago
(1). On day one, Mike Nestor purchased all of them and it's taken this long for him to find all the loot items that are supposed to drop when you gain the mastery card for each of the 5 series. I had stopped trying because I assumed they were bugged. It's nice to know that these items will drop but it should serve as a warning to anyone thinking about buying them...Don't Do It! You will need to invest thousands of energy doing jobs with poor experience/energy ratios just to get a few loot items. Some of them may not even help your score. Unless something changes with the Collectable Stat Card feature, it's not worth it.
Series 1
Series 2
Series 3
Series 4
Series 5
To demonstrate just how bad the drop rate is, I used the tracker during the New Year's Resolutions Event. The Chicago job I chose to do 500 times was also one in which a Collectable Stat Card loot item was suppose to drop. I spent 55,000 energy doing 500 jobs and not one Porcupine Piranha dropped.
When I did my 472nd job on the second time around of the event, one finally dropped. That was an additional 50,976 energy. I don't even know how much energy I spent before the event trying to get this item but adding the total energy spent of the two documented runs comes out to 105,976 energy! When I think of all the leveling I missed out on because I was doing a job with a poor ratio it makes me wish I never purchased these cards.
I also found that the Porcupine Piranha dropped in Las Vegas while I was trying to get a Wrist Blade. I don't know if this will prevent me from ever getting one in the future. The stats won't help me so I stopped trying which only solidifies the fact that these cards were the worst thing I could have spent my Reward Points on.
I still have 2 items to go and I'm tired of wasting my energy but I'm compelled not to give up. I don't plan on purchasing the next batch of Collectable Cards unless they make them a better deal. If you want a breakdown of much better ways to to get skill points, go
here to learn why Collectable Stat Cards are a very bad deal.
I have a member of my family currently level 174 she bought them all and has completed the loot collection. She is not an energy player by any means never asked how she got them so fast but she did. I myself have only bought 1 card and that was on accident.
ReplyDeleteOne of the stupid features in MW. People would have spent more RP if the mastery items had more stats. They are easily replaced by Limited Time Mission prizes.
ReplyDeleteJust a question: Does anyone know, why the latest secret chicago job just disappeared?
ReplyDeleteQuestion, My secret chicago district just disappeared. Any idea why??
