Lets forget for 5mins the pricing structure of PW int and focus a small bit on the content.

I took some screenies and put them here: http://profile.imageshack.us/user/lipe124/

Now take a lok around and tell me you're not going "ohmaigawdd i want that shizzz!!!"

Also it has to be noted that currently the cash shop offers like 7 items at 1 bilion dollah each, why dont they expand the cash shop to 1 billion items at 1 dollah each ^^

    Yeah that looks a lot like a SS uniform to me.

    Heh, looks like a developer just picked a black uniform he thought looked cool without knowing much history.
    Or it's some sort of ironic joke, like the name of the game (unless that is some kind of deep philosophical statement*).

    Probably looks pretty snazzy, but it will probably make people in Europe and the US a bit uncomfortable.
    Removing or changing the color of the armband would make a big difference.

    Nuts to that. I'd buy it, if only to satisfy my uniform fetish.

    I'd have trouble believing someone could find a SS uniform, make a model of it in a game and not know what it was... That's just not quite believable.

    It could cause problems for people in Germany if that is for sale. They have pretty strict laws about **** symbols over there.

    Well, it doesn't have any **** symbols on it (the symbol on the armband for example, appears to be a horned skull, not the **** version of the manji/swastika).

    However, the overall design and colors are almost a carbon copy of one of the uniforms the SS used.
    Maybe it's because the swastika/manji is also a Buddhist symbol?

    Bingo. It's a valid mystc symbol, like a pentagram or crucifix.

    Though the swastika is a victim of mass ignorance, I think.

    Not as much ignorance as slanted education.
    Because of the holocaust and the fascist ideology of the ****, the symbol is so loaded with negative overtones for the majority that western people doesn't get exposed to it in a normal manner, i.e. as a religious symbol.
    They/we know it's also a religious symbol, it's pointed out in school when reading about WWII. They/we just never see it as a religious symbol, so it never gerts the chance of redeeming itself. Another example of one of the things the **** ruined in other words.

    I was serious about wanting golem armor btw. It'd be awesome. ^_^

    Oh pet armor could be fun if they offer enough variety. Not just limiting it all to Golems.

    Ever heard of the comic "Blade of the Immortal"? That has a main character that wears a swastika on his jacket. There was a full page disclaimer explaining what the swastika really is in the first issue. Kinda funny, really.

    When I was in school, they never mentioned anything about the origins of the swastika. This was fifteen-plus years ago, though.

    I dont know what images where posted in your link it took to long for the page to load so I said **** it lol..

    If you want to see the fashions that will be availible in the game you can check out:

    Just click on the little icons to see the pictures of the clothes on players. They have multiple pictures of each fashion.

    http://www.perfect-w.jp/item_ticket_shop/item_fashion/

    It is in japanese so just ignore that. All of these fashions will be availible eventually they will just add them a little at a time with some patches and mods. If its anything like PW MY it will be a slow process as well.

    That version has almost been out a year and we only have about half the fashion that the Japanese server does so far. So dont get your hopes up to have it anytime soon. If they dont lower the Zen prices I wont be buying none of it anyway lol.

    Aslo if you go to that link and scroll down the page click on the icon of that "uniform" You can see 5 screen shots of someone wearing it and you will see its nothing bad. It has nothing to do with hitler **** or anything of the like. The red armband has a skull on it and thats it.

    Its actually a rather nice outfit lol.

    Have some pics of my Blademaster friend from another server in his full **** uniform:
    (Btw, on that server it cost about 3x as much as the second most expensive item. He bought it just cause NO ONE else would do it. People went around calling him **** the entire time.)

    Hiya Smex,

    I tried to make a serious thread about pricing, making the point that having a good understanding of the cause and effect of cash shop prices, requires the person setting the price to have PW playing experience (to lvl 90+). It is titled PWI MARKETING (memo to Marketing Dept.)

    They locked it so it would die the death of the "un-posted to" thread.

    I took that as the equivilent to shotting the messager. Good luck trying to help.
    Is this post appropriate?

    Later

    Haha yea I know, there is the sticky tho.

    This is kinda of a unrealated issue tho. Even when i was playing on MY-EN back in uhm.. march? They had more diverse items in the CS. This CS reminds me of the CB of MY-EN with 3 things added to it.

    Also a obvious solution to all the pricing issue would be to include more content for cheaper. This way at least you can have the current items which is so-so for a so-so price and put the new "fancy" stuff at a higher price. Then they cater for both the rich and poor and stand to make loads of cash.

    (I'd totally love a **** outfit also LOL too bad im a veno -maybe a tight leather outfit^^ )

    That thread was locked because we're centralizing all discussion of Cash Shop pricing issues to the stickied thread. We're not trying to silence anyone here - rather just trying to keep conversation on this topic streamlined so that staffers can read and follow this topic more efficiently.

    I think you misunderstood me. The golem armor isn't for the pet golem. My mistake for not being clear.
    It's armor enchanted with magic that enhance strength (or just looks cool if it's an outfit) worn by the player. Basically, it's the magical version of powered armor. ;)

    Yep, I've read Blade of the Immortal. Great manga. It had a disclaimer here as well.

    If we turn to game armor instead of outfits I think one great thing to add a little variety would be to make the armor not only class specific, but also differ depending on what race wore it (since they have different cultures).
    lvl 1 mage armor looks one way on the untamed, another on the elves and a third way on the humans. And the same for light and heavy armor, all up through the levels.

    Heck, even just varying the colors would be a step in the right direction, and all that would need is some work in an image program.
    I'd prefer new maps (or maps and models would be even better) for those different versions, but I'll settle for re-colorations too.
