What happens when I trade up 5 import items which are not from crates? like the painted boosts (sacred, plasma etc.)

Like what exotics could I get?

[Acidic__Thought]

Wheels, isn’t it?

yeah just found out it too, but aren't they just like the common wheels but just painted? but they are exotics tho. I guess they aren't even worth too much

They are painted versions of stock wheels found in the game. They used to be an uncommon drop but ever since the trade-ups update they are exotics. So basically painted Sunbursts, Dieci, Tunicas etc etc

[encardido]

the uncommon wheels will no longer drop after matches since this new trade up system was implemented, so the only way to get these wheels again is by trading up 5 non crate imports. their worth, being exotic or uncommon is subjective some people will give more value to the uncommon since they no longer drop, others will give more value to the exotics as they can come with certifications. if you thought black dieci were expensive, wait until someone gets them with striker certificate.

The new tiers & banners are OK considering they are free, but the drop rate is so low you can forget trying to get anything decent above Very Rare.

It would take 3 hours a day for 2 years to get a single renamed "exotic" painted wheel now. The original uncommon versions are almost worthless anyway.

The equivalent of 625 uncommons for 1 exotic.
Psyonix plz.

Your math is lil off there bud... I got 1 213h and I got 8 imports, 2 very rares, 12 rares and 54 uncommons. All those are just from random drops. I never bought any uncommons or nothing. I actually even sold few.

So seeing as:
1 Uncommon = 1 Uncommon (duh!)
1 Rare = 5 Uncommons
1 V. Rare = 25 Uncommons
1 Import = 125 Uncommons
1 Exotic = 625 Uncommons
My inventory is equal to 1 164 Uncommons

3h a day for 2 yrs is 1095h, so according to you, to get 2 exotics it would take 2190h. How come, if I keep getting the same drop ratio, I'll manage it in only 1 303h?

You get a crappy crimson wheel that you can barely sell for a key.

I other words - DON'T SCREW YOURSELF OVER!

The math isn't wrong if you account for just uncommons.
Drops can be rare and very rare, which is a massive shortcut.
Let's say that getting 1 drop every 1-2 hours is normal.
1 exotic = 625-1250 hours if it's just uncommon drops.

Your math also doesn't check out if you are adding hours from before June 2016. These items didn't exist then. So you are most likely close to 1k hours or less for your efforts.
That's a little closer to the real number if you shave off 5-25 hours here and there for higher tier drops.

So account for collecting 1 of every item up to the very rare tier (keeping a few extra coloured ones here and there) and then using excess items to trade up to import.... keep a few and then finally trade up to exotic. The average daily player would need a year or 2 to get a few exotics.
You at 56 hours in the last 2 weeks would suggest that you are playing at a rate of a full time job.
That's not your average player.

Psyonix failed hard with that imports trade-up. Maybe they were short on time then... but they just left it broken like that.

You can trade-up 625 uncommon painted wheels to get: 125 rare -> 25 very rare -> 5 import -> 1 exotic wheels... which can be like one of the 625, just renamed to "exotic".

The math IS wrong if you DON'T account for other drops than Uncommon.
Rare and V. Rare drops are indeed a shortcut, but one that is part of the drop system and does drop for everyone.
Exotic Wheels don't care whether you crafted them from only Uncommons or not. :P

So what you are saying is that actual time of getting Exotics is even shorter than what I said? If I gotta shave off the time from before June 2016 then I gotten same amount of items in less amount of time.
And again why would I shave off 5-25h (which I actually think you meant to say I should add those to my playtime) since we established non-uncommon drops count.

My playtime in past 2 weeks is irrelevant since I'm doing math using a total time played which at 1,2k isn't nothing hard, impressive nor demanding seeing as the game been out for quite a while now.

Also just so we're clear here. I never said it was easy to get exotics or anything. I agree it takes a lot, but all I was doing was correcting that guys overexaggerated numbers.

I was guessing based on my current drop rate. Remember how we all got almost constant drops when we had less than 100 hours? Well, I now have 2000+ hours and a fair-sized inventory and the drop rate is about 6 items per week.

I'll collect the Very Rare animated banners, for a change, but there is no point trading up beyond that tier.

Like I said in my lengthy post to fractal, I'm not arguing your point, just your numbers :D

To get the actuall 100% legit odds and numbers we'd have to make everyone do what I did and then average it.

Also wasn't there something like a weekly drop limit? Like you would only get X amount of drops per week and then it would seem like forever till you get another one. I might be making this up but I could swear this was/is a thing.

Yes, the time is shorter but it is just as depressing.

You got a exotic wheel, a painted variant of a common wheel (as the uncommon ones you drop, but since August 4, they are retired from drops and instead are available as exotic by trade-in 5 painted imports that are variant of common items).

Yes, there is a (quite low) maximum per week for drops for non-new players. And it seems to get smaller over time. That's the main influence on all our guessing.

So my 60h in past 2 weeks that was pointed out by fractal actually hurts me when it comes to getting items lol

Anyways its a good thing noone should be dumb enough to trade up to exotics. Plus they are super cheap excluding Black Dieci etc.
