* last big celebration sounds have been RED Cards that will never sell bummer!! Feel like a big loss of points!!!

I wish my price would automatically be cut 50% every 30 days that go by without a sale. If I could do that, eventually someone would buy it because at some discount it becomes a worthwhile food card.

Well, I wish I could combine those useless duplicates into upgraded cards.

If I ever get a CC I want to upgrade free in a pack, I'll withdraw my cards and do just that.

When you open up a pack with a combinator card the celebration is as big as pulling a perfect?

To get rid of a combinator you need to be the 1st and only card to sell at a minimum sell price. If not you need to use it to upgrade another useless Combinator card.

This feature hurts the tournaments.

No, this feature only hurts those who don't want to spend money or who are not happy with just winning occasional pity packs.

Although, I have 7 or 8 CC sitting forlornly in the card shop I have also sold several CC for about 100K so far. I am hopeful CC will be tweaked in the future by OOTP Developments eventually stopping their role as a Soviet style price-fixer for these cards and eventually allow the players to decide their true market value. For me, CC as is, are neutral to a slight plus feature.

Man, I was so pissed this morning. Woke up happy to see a completed mission and I received a historical Diamond Pack only to open it to find all crappy duplicate cards and my Diamond card was a CC card of a regular card I already had. Completely useless. What made it worse is that when I posted a sell order, there were already 3 sell orders posted, so this card will never get sold. What a freakin waste of time and points on this mission. I hate these F'ing cards!!!

That is good news. Thanks for posting. I'd rather downgrade and have the 4,000 points for the diamond card then have it sitting on the market until OOTP 26 comes out.

Not all are garbage. I pulled a James Paxton Diamond Combinator and sold him for 250k. Might be worth a shot on the card shop.

I think you missed where I said there were already 3 in front of me for sale.

LeeD · 08-08-2024, 11:49 PM

I have one that's seventh in line. If I leave it there then it will still be available when PT25 ends in a year and a half.

Yes, you have to pull a Diamond or Perfect to make it worth it. But there are a lot of iron combinators that are becoming worthless in costs and combinator points.

All Combinators have some value, if nothing else then as Combinator Food. Bronze Combinator is 200 Points as starter, Bronze Regular is 2.
