I suggest you turn the oldest paid AT's into free AT's.The specialist and the savage are the oldest AT's who are for gold. Please make them for silver players we want some free stuff.

I know how you can return the PVP's.It is simple just add Q reward at the end of the PVP session and you will see how many players will join.

Add more free stuff for example add 1 free vehicle no matter what it is .Let us try what it is to play CO FREE FOR ALL.

Thank you for your spent time reading this. I hope you will do something for us-the silver community. :)

    OP, ask yourself this: What would giving more stuff for free do for the devs and PWE... IOW, pretend I'm some PWE exec and you're a dev trying to pitch this to me - *why* should we give away more stuff for free, and how can it earn us (and the game) more money?

    A better option would be to run 25%/33%/50% sales on older stuff... heck, maybe even more of a discount! It's not like it costs them anything since they already made the stuff...

    One day PWE will lose their players you will see.Every game they have is destroyed by the many paid content.If they want money they can return the game with a monthly fee.They destroyed champions that's all...

    Hey, you're getting your free vehicle. So be happy.
    And yes, give silvers more free stuff, that will keep the game running and we get more content, for free.
    And you are playing 'CO FREE FOR ALL', you silly.
    It's just not that is 'ALL FOR FREE'. But you would like that, wouldn't you. Because free stuff is so great. Everything should be free.
    And there's not a single paid content in this game that you as a silver have to pay. You can get it free. You need to just figure it out how.

    Sales are a decent idea. How about a multi sale discount. Say if I get three or more of something you get a cost break for example.

    That being said, This game has gotten more money out of me than any other game I've played and I'm fine with that actually. I get stuff because its worth it to me. However The free content is still pretty darn good.

    No, I don't want you to get more free items, I love this game so I want them to make money so they wont die.

    Also there are 20% sales on everything almost every month, I don't think there was one for last month or not.

    You guys still talk like there would be no way to get free zens. Almost everything is free if you get enough Questionite!

    Well, to be fair, with an LTS account you're going to the effort of springing three hundred bucks US all at once... :wink:

    Let me guess, spungi - you're the wolfreaver, or whatever the username was, who was trolling Chat last night claiming that this game was worthless? And taking it poorly when you were reminded that the game was bloody well free?

    Yeah, this should be amusing... <pops corn, settles back to watch>

    I... concur. At least bring back the at rotation system. Cut the prices on the old ats and ANNOUNCE IT ON STEAM. Might draw some returning players, and I dunno why you'd spend money on a few of em anyway. Specialist comes to mind.

    I agree that new and interesting announcements need to somehow get onto Steam. Champions Online is something like on the third page of the Free To Play games list no matter which sorting arrangement (featured, etc) you use, and you have to dig to find it, meaning we don't get as many people perusing the free to play bits and jumping in out of curiosity.

    As much as I despise grinding, as it has little actual immersion, and is just time-consuming busywork between you now being bored and you in the future having fun, I think that things that cost money should still cost money. At the most, I'd say that the archetypes need rotational sales, where each month an archetype is available for free, but for a limited period. At the end of that month, the archetype is locked and the character is inaccessible unless you purchase the archetype or retcon the character to a freeform or archetype you own before the time is up. This means that new players can try out things that are currently being promoted without investing right away, which has a side effect of presenting a much more pleasant experience than the slightly dubious and gambling-esque nature of grab bags and suchlike stuff, creates consumer loyalty, and gets people experimenting with the powers more, possibly leaning them towards getting a freeform character, or even better, a gold or lifetime membership.

    Yeah, we can still grind to get everything for free, but that's kinda... lame. But free stuff will just make Champions suffer a Total Reality Breakdown like what happened to a elder superhero MMO universe last year.
    And it's always awkward, relocating characters to another universe. The mad scientists hog the cooler transports, and the demons tend to give bad deals on travel insurance, and the less said about building your own interdimensional transportation mechanism the better.
    Why they always need traces of butter in the mechanism, I don't know.

    You revealed my secret :O.Now lets get serious i know some of you dont want free stuff ok lets agree with that.How about the PVP.The duels in the centre of MC are kinda boring now.I have an idea how to "revive" the PVP and it is simple.Everyone wants Q right then lets add Q reward at the end of every session.It would be cool wouldn't it?It will be way more fun like the old times.

    Adding Q rewards to PvP would be a dubious proposition, as players could simply make arrangements to let the other kill them, and visa-versa, in order to get lots of free Q.

    A better solution would be to add more goal-oriented PvP maps - like a capture the flag or tower defense style of PvP.

    And regarding the whole "free" thing - this game is only free so as to encourage people to play, and thereby become invested enough in the game to spend money on it. Giving away even more free stuff wouldn't really help that. More sales, and "priming the pump" tactics, like giving a few "seeder Drifter salvage" pieces are teh way to go.

    Actually, the Questionite store could use some new stuff. With Questionite depreciating in value, PWE is losing profits because increasingly less Zen is required to purchase Questionite items. Conversely, a stronger Questionite value does little to hurt the game's profits, as Zen supply is player-bound.

    To increse demand for Q, Do something like introduce legacy costumes to the Q-store or move old premium ATs to the Q-store, priced at 200,000Q. At that price, it may appear discounted based on current Z to Q exchange rates, but that only holds true as long as the exchange rate remains above an equilibirum of 174Q = 1Z.

    If we are looking to increase the purchase of Zen I would rather see more added to the Zen store before the Q Store.

    Hey, I'd rather face Force Geysir + Dragons's Wrath one-trick-ponies in B.A.S.H. than spending my money on keys in order to get things that aren't even in the lockboxes. :rolleyes:

    I think the plan is to have people spending their Questionite on Q-Store stuff, so they don't convert it into Zen and have to spend real money to get those.

    But that's not quite the right frame of mind.

    Every Zen used in the Cryptic Store, whether it be bought directly or bought from the Q-exchange is a Zen that was bought by a player (perhaps the only exception you could consider to this are stipends for Lifetimers). Therefore, a sale on the C-store or putting out some new items in the C-store will encourage monetary purchases.
