If you buy the 69k package off shop do you get 1 set AND 1 wing? as well as the other rewards, like the lugh pet?
Comments
The only cons i see are:
- Not sure why now after ppl cash for their stuff they have also to work out to get it.
- Also why don't split the rewards in different passes so who really want the pet and wings can buy another pass and keep going ?
(Ex: Pass that allow to reach the outfit 30 35K nx and another pass with their relative price to go further and reach the wings and
another to reach the pet for a total of 69k NX)
I'm sure you want to sell all the stuff for 69k but splitting the pass encourage more possible customers to purchase cause:
- Many could be descouraged from the total price.
- Some ppl could even not need the pet or the wings at all so they can't justify the total price and they end up skipping the sale.
- Gaining way more customers who want or can afford to pay for just a part of the rewards is way better than just selling for full price to those 5 6 ppl.
Also the restricion that forbid nx sellers to gift the pass to the other players is out of any logic.
Do you really think everyone is willing or can afford to spend such amounts? Especially in this period?
Making the pass giftable would increase the demand among nx sellers which would buy/sell more passes to get fast gold hence more total earnings in terms of cash. Not to mention, as side effect, that you're cutting out that slice of free players from depot content which also contribute to affect badly the game in term of presence.
I hope they will make some adjustments to this kind of sale in the next maintenance, but probably is just talking to the wind.
Any company that was competent would have all of those massive amounts of unreleased cosmetics put in the shop at a far more reasonable price $15-20) so people who arent whales could at least still buy some nice outfits. But no whoever runs the company would rather run the game into the ground trying every little thing to milk the whales instead of actually trying to fix the problems with it.
If you actually buy **** like this, all you do is contribute to the problem and are the reason why this game is at deaths door.
well i was able to google the wings, i didnt realize it was just ONE wing. thats dumb. that may have decided for me although i still want that lugh pet.
You do realize they added both this AND a new gacha box last patch right? They're not replacing one system with one that's less exploitative, they're just double dipping into whale's wallets.
Really, though, I'm sure you don't need our dollars as hard as you've already milked the whales.
If you charge NX, then its optional whenever you want to buy it or not, its a costume + pet + wing for 69k nx, even if you only like 2 of the 3 things you still save like 50% money over buying them from market by selling the NX.
Its not the first time we get something like this, neam comrade was like 120k NX. The pass is also not p2w at all, it doesn't give any stat impossible to get for us, such as a costume with att limit. If such thing existed, I would complain too.
It give a special outfit with aura
and it also give a lugh pet
You know some people spend 350$++
Andt hey dont even have a wing
they dont even have a outfit
and they dont even have a pet.
So is it really expensive?!?
Nah
F2P is generally centered around MICROtransactions, and 70 bucks every three months for all this content is pretty hefty for a MICROtransaction. Think of Rocket League, or Fortnite, or COD Warzone - all popular games with battle passes right now, all 10 to 20 dollars.
Adding this feature in the middle of a global health crisis is pretty disgustingly greedy too, let's not forget the context of the times either. Other games like Pokemon Go have companies bending over backwards to make sure people can play as simply as possible and they're giving free (or severely discounted) bundles of pay items to people. And then there's this absolute dumpster fire of a game.
So no, don't excuse them for a single damn thing, they've done basically nothing to earn my respect.
Yes, it is very bad in comparison with other games, and I do agree and its the reason of why I don't charge NX, Vindictus is overpriced. The worst offense is 0.05% chance of a costume in gachas.
However, compare it inside vindi. It has been ages since there was direct sale premium outfits (27k nx). With this battle pass atleast you get what you pay for, instead of some RNG bullshit. I think its a good step, just kinda expensive. They could make it 25$ instead, and have a box that lets you choose between 1 of the 3 items.
I suggest you to look at the gacha droprates and make some maths regarding how much NX you need on average to get a costume. http://vindictus.nexon.net/news/51288/list-of-sales-item-probability-rates
Stuff like this shouldn't exist in any videogame.
Do missions release daily? Or can you complete it all in one go.
60 days. Once it’s completed you get the reward, if you are on day 60 and get the pass, you’ll still get all the rewards. And yeah it’s daily reset, unless you use a ticket o level up the reward, but it’s not worth it because it only puts you one day further every time you use it.
I saw that ofc. But is not the first time they experiment new ways of doing marketing, and this could be one of them 'in testing' parallel to the usual monthly scam.
Despite the high price if u sum up:
- 1 outfit (around 30k nx same as the old direct sale)
- 1 special pet (the chieftain which is inferior cost around 20k nx)
- 1 pair of wings (assume 20k nx)
U easily reach 70k nx. And is quite close to a direct sale, way better than the gacha where some ppl spend over 200$ getting ****.
So such type of sales are welcomed (imo) in the hope they drop those shitty gacha later on and focus on more direct sales with human prices.
The only mistakes i see about this offer are:
- they force you to swallow the whole package instead of splitting the content in 3 passes. You know someone couldn't give a damn about spending more to obtain a pet or wings. Or someonelse could want a pet and ignore the outfit etc.
- They don't allow to gift the pass which automatically cut out those ppl who can't access the depot content.
Absolutely nothing would change cause even paying with gold someonelse have to charge anyway, and it would incentivate ppl to sell more nx due to high demand, but these **** decisions barely surprise me anymore.
- The fact i have to work my ass (even after i paid) to obtain said content.
If i'm not wrong you can skip up to 7 days before losing the chance to reach the end.
You should check the event duration.
