Lifetime subs should get every C-Store costume

Screw it

Lifetime subs should get every C-Store costume that is released. And why is the Cryptic store called the Z-Store? And why zen? That is a dumb name for currency. It makes no sense.

    LTS user would eventually get those costume because of the stipend of 500 Zen every month, and this is on top of all the free costume or thing they get per month. On top of that, this is how Cryptic make their money from both LTS and non-LTS users.

    They can make money off of silver and gold players, also lockbxes, boosters, sidekicks, and other c-store items. Not everyone will be lifetime.

    It could be Cryptic Points...
    Blame Perfect World. Zen has been their game currency to all the games. Before they became our overlords and masters.

    It used to be Cryptic Points, and C-Store, but Perfect World wants all the games they own to use the same currency and store name. Zen is a play off Zenny, a generic Japanese video game currency. And both are actually a play on Yen, the actual Japanese currency.

    The definition of zen is something completely different than currency.

    Build up your monthly stipend to get the stuff you want, or pay for more ZEN if you can't wait.

    Lifetime means lifetime of gold subscription, not a lifetime supply of everything else store-wise.

    Originally that was the plan for the stipend, each new set they released originally cost around 500points in the c-store (before it was the z-store). But they increased the prices of all the costumes to supposedly match the 'quality'. *Then they proceeded to release the scientist and variable robot costume pieces (*this one knowing it was bugged/broken *)*

    Not everything else, just costumes since we already have powers. There are still other stuff to buy. Do not forget the $300 and some dollars players will pay upfront for LT.

    You are purple, so I take it you are a big dog around here. Do you believe zen is a play off of zeni too? What Dialmx is saying makes a lot of sense. Meditating has nothing to do with currency.

    If you had the means to fork up $300 upfront for a LTS, I don't see why there would be an issue when it comes to having to purchase the costume packs, especially when you'd be given 500 ZEN during every single passing month.

    He just uses html code to make his text purple so he stands out more.

    PSSSS, It's an RP Thing

    Everyone can change colour in their texts
    Different Text colours doesn't show any supperiority

    and like Free to Play is not EVERYTHING for Free, Subscriptions are not EVERYTHING for free neither

    If everything is given for FREE to subscribers then how the hell is the game going to get income from the Zstore?

    So no, Subscribers shouldn't get all costumes for free, because that's not how you do business

    Sidenote: and it seems the HTML coding in forums is currently broken and colouring text doesnt currently work, at least for me    ​​

    Who said everything was free? PSSSS, they sell more than costumes in the c-store. lockbox costumes? Keys? You are assuming hypothetically that everyone is a life timer. You are also neglecting the $300 cost for LT.

    It seems to be misbehaving with the forum extension for some reason. Not sure what's going on, but it won't work for me, either. It's worked fine in the past though.

    Red?
    Orange?

    Hmm. Anyway...

    - - -

    Anyway @ OP: As a fellow LTS, no. We already get enough goodies, including free Zen until the end of time, until the game shuts down. Just use your monthly Zen to buy costumes when they go on sale.​​
    (Hopefully) Useful CO Resources: HeroCreator (character planner), Cosmic Timers/Alert Checklist, Blood Moon Map, Anniversary Cat Map, and more (eventually, anyway).

    More like Big Dragon, and not purple, Hot Magenta primarily, and yes it doesn't matter what it's called the principal and purpose remain the same.

    Eh, I'm LTS and I don't mind having to buy some stuff with real money. Helps keep the lights on.

    Maybe bring in another "incentive" to subbing... make a subscription discount system 10% off for monthly subscribers & 20-25% off for LTS... or something like that, doesn't have to be exactly that much... because people are ALWAYS looking for a way to save MONEY, ZEN, RESOURCES...
