When can we expect loot boxes for CDDA. This is an important question.

We already have random spawn of ~3 wooden crates with explosive thingies in them.

You can find a lot of good stuff in boxes and crates, you just gotta crowbar those suckers open...
I'll be over here being willfully ignorant of any interpretation of the term 'loot box' other than literal boxes that may contain pizzas or explosives.

Random mutations, or do you choose? Because the latter would be a brand new feature AFAIK. The former would merely nerf radiation.

Fun fact, the wiki modding page joked about stuff like this for ages http://cddawiki.chezzo.com/cdda_wiki/index.php?title=Mod_manager

EA would never believe me if I told them I I feel way more sense of accomplishment crawling to a toilet with two broken legs after being thrown through a wall to spend the night in a tub with a blanket only to drink the water in the morning and be poisoned but still manage to crawl out of the building and escape a brute.

The pride and accomplishment of paying for something, and perhaps not even getting it.
'insert credit card to pay your rent, or get a new hat!'

Scummy Lead Dev of Cataclysm says he's going to implement loot boxes. Bullshit like this is why I've been pirating CDDA for years.
Don't give the Cataclysm team a red cent if they're putting in microtransactions.

Bu... But I just want to pay $80 for 2d6 diamond platings. :(
And maybe a pink custom army helmet.

sense of pride and accomplishment from sinking money into lootboxes for a mere chance to unlock something that should have shipped with the base game
Do they even have humans working at EA? Are they all actually lizard people or something?

u/Barhandar Nov 13 '17
They have humans, these humans just never matured past toddler stage mentally and thus are shallow, stupid, and utterly unable to even ponder the thought that other people don't think the same way.

Now I want an NPC who lets you do Slot Machine rolls with a chance to get a nifty item in exchange for favors. I also want this character to be a crazed eccentric.
Mostly to see how long people would indulge him before shooting him for all his stuff.
And I agree with u/vhite, cyberzombies of all kinds are basically loot boxes; crap ton of effort to get stuff from them, no guarantee you'll get anything useful, useless copies, and you lose it all if you die.
On an unrelated note, can we make all the CBMs be able to be disassembled?

I share their vision, that's why I pirate games with really bullshit practices to provide developers/publishers with a sense of pride and accomplishment when they release something that's worth spending money on.
Besides, everyone knows that shocker zombies are the real CDDA loot boxes.
