Question about upgrade cards

Just to be clear about this. If I pay for 3 separate upgrade cards that say I will pay 7% less for items purchased from a vendor, does that mean I'll be paying 7% less of the original price, then 7% less of the discounted price, then 7% less again on that lower price?
I just want to make sure that the discounts accumulate - that the cards aren't duplicates of the same one-time value. It's hard to explain. i hope someone "gets" what I mean.

  • i think you're only supposed to get those cards once each.

  • You already have bought the 7% card (on Sat Aug 4).  You should not be seeing it again.

    At this point, the 7% is the total you can reduce prices.  You originally bought the 2%, then the 5%, then the 7%.  They do not stack.

  • There are some analysis on Humbabella's blog here:  http://mathemaglitch.blogspot.ca/p/vendor-prices.html

    Though at the moment a comment says the calculations may be different than what the vendor displays.

  • Thank you all. I was worried that a card I had already bought would be dealt again and I might buy it without realizing it was a duplicate. The cards for energy, quoin limits, etc. state your current levels and what the individual cards will change - so they're easier to keep track of.
    There are so many cards :)

  • Only the Stat and Keepables cards show up more than once (and the brain capacity cards stop showing up when you're maxed) the rest are buy-once, never get dealt again. Put another way, you don't need to worry about buying an unusable duplicate card.

  • I see what you're saying. It's the quoin multiplier all over again.

    The language on the cards suggests that the increase is to the current value (which may have been previously increased), rather than to the original base value.  That is, the percentages should be compounded.

    But they probably aren't, just like they weren't with the quoin multiplier cards, which had to be changed.

  • I swear I think I am buying the same cards over and over again...Is there a knack to getting the walk speed 1 2 & 3 cards and some of the other new cards like skill learning etc.? I am broke trying to make these cards appear.. Any suggestions..??  Or is it all pot luck ??

  • You can reshuffle once per game day, and you can always go out and buy some reshuffle cards.  I have quite a bit of iMG saved up with one of my alts, simply because the cards I want haven't been showing up lately.  The nice thing is that when they DO show up, I can afford them right away!

  • I think I was getting confused between the ones I was "given" and the ones I have purchased...the ones I was given obviously don't show up as purchased in the encyclopaedia and so therefore I continued to chase upgrade cards that I in actual fact apparently already have.. duh!.. :-/ lol

  • '1 of your alts'!?!?!?!

    Genikicoll - did you miss Stoot's request or did you just ignore it?
    See his post at  - www.glitch.com/forum/genera...

  • @Arietty: Lots of people have alts from before the new tutorial, which stoot's request does not apply to.

  • Arietty, he later said it was OK to make an alt if you are actually going to play it. He didn't want use to all make alts just to run the tutorial and then abandon it.

  • did you miss the part about them wanting to track the stats and player experience of people who are 'new' to the game?

  • Arietty, I will bold this since apparently bold is all you can read DID YOU MISS THE PART WHERE YOU ASSUMED THE ALT WAS MADE AFTER THE CHANGE!?  Don't harass someone unless you already know they are guilty of what you're harassing them for!!
