Title: RARE Stroma card for Hive
Post by: Level9Drow on September 23, 2018, 04:00:33 AM
This card is not dropping after multiple weeks and about 150K faction poured into reshufflinf only 14 Antagonists affinity cards in 3 slots available each time. It's safe to say this card is bugged. I really don't want to continue wasting 4800 faction over and over for no reason. Please fix this.

I'd love if you could say save up 90000 faction points then use them to guarantee a specific card it can't be cheap though maybe even more expensive than that

I would honestly like them to rework the entire card system to were you can earn cards just by doing missions. I'm getting tired of just grinding for gold and faction points.

I think I'm up to 200k now. Every day I come home and play the game nothing but Umbral wardog characters on missions that only reward high faction. I do this every day for about 2 or 3 hours. EVERY DAY. And every day I peaceful antag to keep MMR down and to keep affinity. I've done this for, I want to say, about a month. I have not seen Rare Stroma still. I feel this card is bugged and does not exist as a earnable card that can be won by a shuffle. I am so sick of playing Wardogs and it is so SO sad that we don't have more options to build our heroes and that we have to rely on effective gambling. There has to be another method to acquiring the card you want, because I can;t help but feel I'm being lied to and taken for a fool chasing an illusory carrot on a stick. If you're going to hook me can I at least have the fucking bait in my mouth?

I will continue to keep track of how much faction I throw away on attempting to get RARE Stroma. I will keep updating as much as I can here so that people can see that some card are a sham. Let my experience be a warning to others that some cards are just there to keep you blindly grinding with no end and cause you to throw away PRECIOUS TIME on something that may very well not exist.

I think I'm about 300k now. I just want to point out that while people grind for a certain faction they're milited to 4 characters to play. I'm growing so tired of playing Wardogs. And if I play any other character I am wasting time and taking away from Wardog faction. I will com back and update when I think I've hit 400k faction and no Rare Stroma.

Hoepfully I can get Stroma soon, I'm getting burnt out on Alicia, Hive, Rak and Laoht. I am also sick of Antaging for Affinity. I don't want to do this anymore. But I am forced to be able to roll the Stroma card. Which apperently is not bugged.

Has anyone else recieved the RARE Stroma card for Hive, by the way? I'm just curious if this is a sham or not. I don't want to be wasting my time on it if it's a scam card.

What does the card even do? The description seems very misleading.

Any time you use stolen essence to heal yourself, even 1 single point, you heal 75 health to all allies within 30 meters. There is no cool down to this, as long as you run out of stolen health get more rapidly and use it again, you can heal again and again, as fast as you can burn through stolen health, get more and use it.

This card is beast!!!

That does sound really good, it pretty much turns hive into a healer. Looks like I'll be joining you on the hunt for this card.

Ok, this is important. You got the RARE version? And if so, what platform do you play the game on? Give me some hope here...

Thank you! I hope it's not a PC issue.

EDIT: Has anyone on the PC gotten the Rare Stroma card for Hive?

10/8/18, still no Rare Stroma. ALL faction points have been dumped into Umbral Wardogs for about 2 months now. I am well beyond knowing how much I've spent on re-shuffling, I've stopped keeping track at about 250k.

Will update this in a few weeks if I haven't gotten it. Sick of playing Wardogs.

Question: Has any PC/Steam player gotten the RARE Stroma card for Hive yet?

Im almost level 105, the moment i see that card exist i start playing H.I.V.E to try to obtain that card.

I like to help my teammates, and heal them is a good way, i have Iune, Ayana with versatile and Valeria with her healing card (i dont remember the name).

I avoid Rak and Alicia. Rak because i find his healing a little useless and Alicia because she is ugly  ;) ;)

And im tellin this to you, Alicia or Rak player, dont argue with me, most times the "Pishachas" take long to reach the target and start healing him, and Alicia is ugly  :P

So i will only play H.I.V.E. to help you find out if the card is aviable or not.

Edit: Im from PC/Steam

Umbral Wardogs are the Aleph Tweakers though, but then again, ALL the characters use Aleph. It's straight attached to their lower spine.

Did we really gonna argue about her? XD

Drow i just dont like her face that is all ahhahahahaha

If you like her, go for it, its ok.

I come from the mmos and spend alot of time watching some characters back, that is why i tend to play characters i like aesthetically, and her face tell me "Fuck off".

That is the only reason i dont play her, nothing personal XD

LOL, no man, dislike what you want, I'm just joshin with you. I get the resting bitch face vibe. I agree. I like female faces like that though, Cersei Lannister, Fairuza Balk, Christina Ricci, etc..(usually not blonds). To me it makes me feel like they're jaded, not naive to reality, cynical, antisocial, somber, stoic and prepared at a moment for shit to go down. Generally how I am. I can't stand perky, optimistic, attention seeking people. They seem either naive or untrustworthy.

However if you're going for backs, then Iune's default skin is the best one, hands down. Never thought I would say a chick has an attractive back, but this would be the one.

I finally got it! I'm so relieved and happy. Got it last night after playing Hive. Christ, after what seemed like 400k of faction. Still ridiculous.

I can now play other characters again. I will be trying to get the Loaht RARE card that Regenerating Stimulation, but I heard it might b bugged. But this is easier to get, as I can have raider affinity and no longer have to AFK as antag for two games and lower MMR as a consequence, more than I want to. I can just easily grind out faction as raider and lower MMR only when it gets really high.

it felt good not to feel like I was wasting time anymore when I played other factions. Most of the characters are carded how i want them with RARE versions. some with 2 loadouts. There's only a few left I need. I want to get to the point where I can just play whoever I want for the mission without thinking about getting cards. Only gold will be what I need to grind.

Title: Re: RARE Stroma card for Hive
Post by: hadrold on October 12, 2018, 05:27:52 PM
what they should do is create some new cards and unique cards (cards with multiple effects) that can be earned by meetin certain requirements on a specific level like completing it without dying, within a certain amount of time or even just beatin a certain number of enemies in a specific area of a level. As for card rolls they should allow us for a price ( gold & faction ) allow us to pick the cards we want to use from the deck and each time you want to swap a card you have to pay for it, this would still require a lot o grindin but remove the frustration of days of grindin for nothin. and why not give us use of all four card slots, this will give alot more customisation options for each character and allow players to build their characters instead of being restricted by the randomness and frustrations this game offers over everythin else and may entice players to play more. What do you think?
Title: Re: RARE Stroma card for Hive
Post by: Level9Drow on October 12, 2018, 05:37:57 PM
Well it sounds good, but would you trust them to have fair prerequisites for those cards? i don't want to be hard on MSE, but with their history of heavy gating mechanics I think that the requirements would be some impossibly outlandish feats that would be nigh impossible for most people. This would mean that the current system of grinding faction has more of a chance for most people of yielding the card you want then whatever elaborate heavy gating requirement they may concoct. I kind of don't trust them with it yet.

My solution would be simply more faction points per successful game, and more rewards when you lose. So in my opinion when you win with an average 8 point score you should get about 2k gold and 3k faction, and this is WITHOUT Bounty Hunter or Affiliation weapons. And when you lose a game you should get 400 gold and 600 faction. the general rewards are too TOO low. OR (not and)... they could make shuffling cheaper than 4800. Maybe say 3000 like it used to be. It wouldn't hurt to make forging a bit cheaper as well.

Post by: Tekato on October 12, 2018, 05:50:11 PM
Congratulations and yeah I agree a simple change like increased rewards or cost reduction is much easier to implement without completely breaking the system. Ofc this should only be a temporary solution and they should still look into better ways to improve the card system. There are plenty of good posts with great ideas so hopefully they listen to the community feedback.
Title: Re: RARE Stroma card for Hive
Post by: hadrold on October 12, 2018, 10:48:30 PM
i no what your sayin, reduced cost of rolls may seem better n easier, but lets say they do this, you still only have a 4 in 50 (approx) chance of gettin the card that you want. They are also sayin they are bringing new stuff to the game, " IF " this involves new cards the probability that you will receive the cards you want will get even smaller and a lot more costly and frustrating cos we still got the "random roll", if they were to implement the option to pick which cards you want from the deck or something along that line, we may have to pay say 30k gold n 10k faction (just an example) each time for the privilege of choosing, meaning we still got quite a hefty grind to get the faction (and or gold) to pay for it but it will remove the bottomless pit of nothingness and frustration that the random roll in this game is known for and very much hated. Ive only been playin for just over a week n im already hatin it for just how unsatisfying it is n every thin i see on here seems to point out that same "play for nothing " vibe. at least this way you no what you want and you are definitely gonna get it guarenteed, as soon as you grind for how ever much they charge for it, i like the game itself and i want to see what the future brings but this game is a grind, i dont mind grinding if the game is good and the rewards are worth it but to grind for days on end for only a random chance is not my idea of progress and definitely not worth it n that hurts alot.
