A Necessity

[Tirreggregars]

I'm F2P, but let's go into a hypothetical scenario:

 

I just got 50 euros for my birthday and, being in lockdown, and with nothing better to spend it on, I open SuperMechs and buy 2,900 tokens, great. Now, I'm experienced so I keep the tokens, and wait until there is a good deal. It is now Saturday, increased drop rates, yay! The item looks really cool, but what does it do, idk, and for the sake of this argument let's say I'm not active on the forum, so effectively I am paying for something unknown. Now let's suppose, just for cleanliness, that you have saved up 450 tokens, amounting to a total of 3350 tokens. So you decide to spend your tokens on an item with an unknown increased drop rate, for a pack with no reliable legendary drop rate information, and for an item whose function you have no idea. Does this seem fair, no! It's not only unfair, but illogical and frankly disrespectful, if I paid to get packs, I would certainly wish to know and be entitled to knowing the chances of me getting what I want, and what the item I'm buying is. Hell, even casinos tell you the chances of winning, and even cigarette brands tell you it is dangerous. 

 

To sum it up:

Anything you can buy in a game should tell you the chances, be it packs, fortune boxes or base items. This includes increased drop rate packs, this means that if you have a 20% chance of pulling the new item, it should be stated on the pack. This should also extend to letting the customer know what they are paying for. I do not know any other service which you pay for, but do not have the vaguest idea what it does. For someone with little experience, the damaged armour annihilator, could be the phys version of bunker shell and magma blast.

i 100% agree with this and think it should be implemented

Voted both. I seriously quit for two years when they changed form a store to box system. I couldn’t believe people would stand for it. lol but the game still stands and I am back.

 

so in your scenario. You will spend your money, not get anything you feel was worth 50 euros but you may get an unexpected item that helps better your account. 
 

I personally don’t spend my money to buy boxes. I will spend money if the deal shows you what items you get.

To be honest, I think SuperMechs might be the only "gacha-style" game to NOT list the drop chances of boxes and/or packs... But the stats list would be a good "lifestyle-improvement" addition to the game since that would help you stay away from cash-traps that call themselves "good items" in the hopes of pulling a sneaky on you and making you waste your cash that could've gone to something better.

Also, I think the drop chances improvement would also be helpful on fortune-box capable stages since that would really keep players from spending countless amounts of oil for pretty much nothing just because the game refused to tell you what are your odds of getting what you want... But I'm pretty sure that's just me who would like to see that.

I just think that it would be so easy to implement drop rates and item stats, so the devs should do it.

In the scenario, I would feel at least entitled to know what I am buying. And in general, even if you are, like I am, F2P, you deserve to know what you spend your hard earnt tokens on

since reloaded game current version, no one knows except game owner as far I know. The old game according to some old players, they knew the rate been public or something like that (not sure). It is not just bunker or magma but those are similar to other parts very rare to obtain passing years, and some get them fast. Every acc works a bit different. I got a magma granted passing 2 years including a bunker. I have few others because old game owner summertime sale in the forum for forum members and another for every player in regular sale back in 2020 and no more since then.
