$20 and $10 skins! Seriously?
on: October 02, 2017, 08:42:27 PM
I get that they are not mandatory but I certainly feel ripped off. If you made them $2 - $4 I'd buy most of them but charging more for a skinf than for an entire campaign feels wrong.

Those skins are OP. While Pretty, 10$-20$ is WAY. TOO. MUCH. Cut all those by 75% and I'll be glad to drop a few bucks...but otherwise?

NOPE.

Or better yet, make the missions & characters free, and have cosmetics as a way for fans to support the game. If it was like that, I'd gladly pay 20 bucks for a skin. Don't charge me for the game then have ridiculously priced outfits; people will feel ripped off...

Another plus side to making missions FTP is that you won't be splitting your ALREADY  SMALL COMMUNITY. It's already difficult to find people to play with, and if more chapters come out, it's going to be even harder because not every existing player is going to buy them. If people aren't finding anyone to play with, they're going to stop playing!! Did you guys at mecurysteam even consider this outcome?? No offense, but from the looks of things, it doesn't seem like you guys put a lot of thought into your decision making.

I also think 20$ is too much.

In my case, I would buy 5 or more skins of 5$ before only 1 of 20$. I would even buy a few really cool skins of 10$, but 20$ scare me too much, even if I woul pay more with skins of 5$-10$, but it is harder for me to pay for one of 20$.

the price would make sense if EVERY chapter was free like a f2p game, but it's not.
I mean if the game was actual f2p I would've bought every single skin already.

For game with 160 ppl average online...
Good luck...

If skins will be cost $6 I will buy 3-4 skins.
If skins will be cost $20 I will buy 0 skins.
It is easy to calculate the difference in profit...

honestly ,the cheapest(220-550) ones should cost 2 dollars, the 900-1100 ones should cost 5 dollars , anything highter than that should cost 10 (for being premium)
every skin should also drop on matches (VERY RARELY)

Actually, the fact you're buying them with funny money is just bad form to begin with. We all know you'll end up with weird amounts you just can't spend on anything if you don't plan accordingly. This is compounded by the fact certain skins are weird amounts and 'will' cause you to have odd amounts left over. This is the reddit age where people analyze the heck out of 'everything' and will gladly shred a game when it goes off the deep end. So while I admit I love the game and would love to support it even I am at pause on their pricing policies and that's not exactly creating good will is it?

Well i am kinda ok with this actually. Well yeah i know paid Skins in full priced game is kinda bad. But this is kinda became normal. Even Borderlands 2 had them.
I think only real problem with micro is that you need to spend money to get loadout, this is kinda bad actually.
