Theyll do what they did thwe last time a massive economy crashing event happened. Nothing. Cryptic gives a **** about money for them. Nothing else.
-
Ten bucks says theyll be out the next time they release a module with a new pay to play race and a free race that will also be mysteriously delayed.
-
Typical cryptic apologism.
-
Most of us are. becaise its relatively unintrusive and offers huge discounts on games constantly. ARC on the other hand, is a blatant ad campaign for the zen store.
-
wow. that has to be the most PR-speak without even trying to hide it reply ever.
-
for the same reason they make everything else expensive. To drive you to use zen instead.
-
this. Neverwinter com,bat is fun so long as you never ever ever examine it.
-
...and? As opposed to what? You do realize that in an environment where wards werent gated behind AD/Zen and thehere werent lockboxes galore that might be true, but as the game is currently designed, other than massive, prohibitive levels of AD or AH grinding, competing with someone who spends hundreds a month is downright…
-
then perhaps they should invent a business model that doesnt assume a need to pretty much **** the money out of people.
-
Pity all the classes suck, party diversity doesnt exist, and the content is trite and unimaginiative outside the Foundry, eh?
-
which is utterly ****ting on Faerun lore to even claim sun and moon elves are even remotely the same thing//But then, who cares about lore when theres apologists who will buy anything just to gloat over having what you dont.
-
You'd be wrong. why make 3 good games when you can make 15 mediocre games, slap cash shops on them all, and let whales feed you?
-
people willing to burn hundreds of dollars on the mere chance of maybe getting an item strike me as corporate stockholme syndrome sufferers.
-
I see you're not familiar with Cryptic Studios.
-
they dont care though. theyll just leave the game tio the few people willing to buy power and funnel the money into developing their next gamblebox game
-
at least a big mac isnt a gamble where .0001% of the time you actually get a burger instead of a burned fry from the bottom of the warmer.
-
this is also neglecting that other than a few rare drops, most of the items that drop from them are worthless.
-
Hardly. Just because AD is far easier to get than zen, doesnt really excuse the fact that anyone stupid enough to spend 80 bucks on gambleboxes deserves to be penniless.
-
or perhaps we figure the only way to fix the game is to drown out the tears fo white knights like you with enough complaints they eithger fix the game or start seeing losses in profits?
-
The problem is. they make far more money squeezing idiots for gambleboxes, so thats what they do.
-
Hardly. if Business has learned anything in the past few decades, its that profits and customer satisfaction rarely intersect as well as conning the **** out of people.
-
thats confidence inspiring. "we designed a game that we are terrible at and therefore we are totally trustworthy with the reigns on class and gameplay balance"
-
and it'll be mediocre and not live up to expectations at all. because Cryptic is a master of never delivering on hype/
-
dont be surprised. people dropping upwards of 300-500 dollars a month on this game is apparently commonplace. I know this because back when the AH exploit created a billion AD and people were demanding a rollback, whole groups of other people were wanting refunds on over a thousand dollars worth of zen they had already…
-
No. the point of a company is to make money at any cost and **** ethical considerations to hell unless customers actually bring you to task for it. Then conjure a cheap, hollow apology and sneak it in anyhow.
-
yeah..I mean, I'm sorry. But a D&D game with 3 functional classes and 2 nonfunctional variations on the same class is kinda pitiful.
-
You need a ****ton of AD. maybe two ****tons just to be sure.
-
considering this is the standard business model for f2p MMOs, I somehow doubt theyre too worried.
-
technuically they can weasel out of it under the pretense that since you always win somnething, it isnt gambling. Yay legalese.
-
the thing is..I doubt Cryptic/PWE gives two <edits> about canon. Its just probably slightly more work to make Moon elf textures than give regular elves a golden tan.
