... Because the game is not designed to be free, its designed to make you want to spend money for 'cool stuff', that cool stuff is priced at a ridiculous level, and instead of releasing core content like new classes, fleshing out the PVP etc. they've added two new groups of useless <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> to…
... Your analogy is like witnessing someone charging $200 for a 1/2 eaten big mac, and instead of being perplexed at the guy whose selling a 1/2 eaten big mac, you complain about the people pointing out he's selling a half eaten big mac that's probably not worth $200.
We all bow before your superior intellect and unprecedented capability to express your genius in terms mere mortals can understand.... And affix upon your person with the same kind of awe we had when we witnessed Al Gore turn on the internet for the first time. ... Hi, you miss me? :-)
... Yes, and now consider that 1 respec for one character is almost 1/2 of a months worth of respecs in subscription MMOs... or 1/10 of the price of GW2... then consider that you have to pay for more than 2 characters, more than 3 bags, and a reasonable chance at 'end game' gear modifications.... Like I said before, it…
*interlude that does not apply to the original topic at all* ... It is funny that you should allude to politics... The 47% of people taking money from the Federal Government are probably the same kind of people who are willing to pay $6 time and again for respecs, or sit on their computer all day chinese gold farming when…
I believe a wise man once said, a penny saved is a penny earned, I also don't think anyone who says 'its only $6' has much in the way of financial wisdom. six dollars can go pretty darn far, if you make it.... 'its only $6' is the reason America is about to be owned and operated by the Chinese.
I make substantially more than that, but if I did the idea of working an hour for what that buys in this game is galling.... I can have more fun buying a jewish coworker non-kosher meat for that price....
What people here are missing I think is that however you define it 'F2P' 'P2W' or 'pink polka dotted turtles' ... the cost/value ratio of investing in this game is TOTALLY out of whack.... I mean for crying out loud, 2 PVP maps, a few high level dungeons, and Gear that looks EXACTLY the same, companions that don't…
.... IF 'they' care at all, they will probably go after whomever uses more vulgarity and insults in their posts. Everyone is free to decide that for themselves. ..... Also, your cash, and your problem if a potential lack of economic sense causes you to run out someday. I hope that doesn't happen. If it does, I hope you are…
.... Putting the effort and grind into acquiring enough Astral diamonds to make 100 zen in one day sounds about as fun as living in a chinese prison. I play for fun, not to become a gold farmer.
From the makers of STO, the MMO with probably the MOST ability to customize and strategically operate your 'companions' comes a game in which the companion AI and customizability seem to have been taken back to 1994.... Its sad really. yet another part of this game that could have been SO much better with relatively little…
Also, lets be honest, the DND label is the only thing making this price model not immediately collapse. If this was some new MMO without any brand label, with this price scheme it'd be dead on arrival.
By all means I want people to play this game.... For FREE, and not spend money on this ridiculous price scheme, and then mayhaps EVERYONE will be better off... PWI wouldn't look like greedy punks, would actually make more money, and the players including yourself might actually get good value for their investment. As it…
... Fair enough. I feel my arguments and reasoning are sound enough to share, and I believe the evidence on he forums indicates that a fair number of people agree on some level the price to product value in this game is ridiculous. I am voting with my wallet, but also, depending on the level these forums are watched,…
.... This is a general discussion forum where we talk about our thoughts and opinions on the game.... That's what I'm doing here... you are WAY more stressed out about this than I am. I'm enjoying my free game at the developer's expense, but lament what COULD have been. You feel the need to curse like a sailor, and I…
.... I'm not talking fair, I'm comparing what $6 can buy you, and hours of entertainment... $6 to change your mind, especially if you have altitis... its just not worth it compared to all the other forms of entertainment available.... even more true for the higher priced items like companions and mounts. And if you are the…
The gameplay is good, the story is entertaining enough, the companion system needs to be reworked and more customizability added... I would be tempted drop $30-60 dollars once on this game if they had access to ingame currency only respecs, at least one variety of green or better companions and mounts, and craftable bags,…
.... Ask PVPers about the speed difference of the purple mounts.... and to upgrade your own only costs more than a cool million astral diamonds ....Beyond that though, no they are not 'needed' NOTHING in this game is needed, I don't need to play this game. I have enjoyed it so far, but the prices are revolting... and half…
If you create two characters and respec them both twice, you spent enough on this game to buy the enhanced version of Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter nights 2 plus ALL content EVER MADE. AND a venti mocha from starbucks
This game actually makes games like Call of Duty that charge for DLC map/weapon packs look like good deals.... its unbelievable. And its incredibly ironic that PWI HQ is in Communist China.... Like I said before, the commies beating us at our own game, hilarious if it wasn't so sad.
