Just an after upload note. All of the pricing and marketing techniques here are still way better than loot crates for the playerbase. I just had a lot of issues with how the communication made it seem like a full shop sale for Black Friday. Instead we get what I mention in the video. Thanks for watching!
I have two women in my hive who bought a lot of the new stuff. People are judging their choices, they responded with “don’t argue with me I’m the reason why this game is free” 😅
I don't think people should be judged for spending on a game they like, for cosmetics that they like. Let them have fun as long as it's not putting them in financial trouble. We should judge and provide feedback to the game company though to try to get changes for a better future shop though.
i bought the record player. I might buy the short skirt. Most of it is nothing to me, I don't get mad about the cosmetics, it is keeping pay to win out of the game so all good by me. A note the emote is a recreation of a famous Michael Jackson dance.
I though the dance looked familiar. Thanks for pointing that out. I was confused by the lean forward but that should have been the hint that it was Michael.
prices suck as usual. none of it is worth it. if this stuff wasnt so damn expensive id pay for more of it but they havent really given me a reason with the way the servers have been performing these last few months. on top of that why would they say ook we're gonna do something about lightforge crates and then release another. why do they act so tone deaf. this is as bad as the crate released during the prismverse super lag fiasco. and the gall of the prices of some of this shit. and the fact that they do that scummy bullshit with the currency packs where you cant buy exactly what you need always a little bit more.
Yeah I was hoping it would be a sale on their existing items or maybe just maybe bringing back some light forge items to sell individual items (fat chance of that happening). But instead it's new items with inflated prices and then cut down to make it seem like it's a bargain now. It's an old obvious marketing trick. I'm more offended that they think so little of our intelligence but then again plenty of people fall for it.
The new arrivals are priced the same as before (i.e Rare outfit cost 2280) with 35% off. Not that bad to me except the biggest offender, that bike reskin, totally not worth the price. it's only a reskin unlike the ghost rider bike or the cyberpunk car (I know these are Lightforge skin but the bike reskin is not new model or new effect whatsoever to justify the price). Namecard technically free/bonus if you compare the theme pack with it individual items. None of this would be an issue if they just remove that bloody Lightforge loot crate bs and sell the Lightforge outfits as 2280, Rare outfits as 1280 and the rest normal outfits should be earnable in game instead. The game free to play and pay2win free so that's still a plus to me.
Yeah in game that bike skin isn't under the skin. It's under color change in the garage. If we could get lightforge effort outfits at 2280, rare at 1280 and normal as earnable. That'd make a lot of people happy. I guess we'll have to see what the upcoming changes end up being.
Does anyone having a bug where ur collection furnitures are locked ? When u litterly own those from lighrforge crates / seaonal ones ? It seems that i cant craft its locked
They usually have a chain link symbol meaning they can't be dropped or traded. And you build them from the build menu. The special items are character bound to the character you purchased them on so if your on an alt you can't place them. If it's locked in the build menu on the character you bought the loot crates on, I'd report it as a bug.
Superstar Return emote. Direct pull of moves made by Michael Jackson. (popstar from before your time, I guess). Regarding the pricing. You've pretty much nailed it. Way, WAY overpriced. Rely in whales with more money than sense, or those accustomed to spending money on mobile games who then wonder where all their money went.
@@MichaelTrout-v6x I'm 35. I didn't watch a lot of Michaels performances as I was mostly sitting at a tv playing Nintendo games in my youth haha. It looked familiar but I definitely didn't catch that it was one of his
i was disappointed with this sale event. all for new items only and not even appealing. i was ready to spend again, and then they did this. like wtf. what kind of sale event is that? they should have just given us a voucher, like a 1 time use 20-30% discount. and applicable to all shop items.
I really dont care much about what they sell, because the game is literally free to play... So they have to make cash from somewhere... We really dont need any cosmetic to play. Now i think if they lower their prices a bit more ppl would end up buying shit.
I feel like NetEase gets a hardon with taking a massive shit over this gem of a game that they have. We've been telling them since the first loot crate was released that this is not the way to go and what do they do? Release one every 2weeks. Meanwhile, Way of Winter gets released with horrendous balance and bugs and solutions for glaring issues are only coming 2 months after. Even dumber are the idiots in their discord that keep regurgitating that durrhurr loot crates are only cosmetics. Like, my brothers in christ, look at the bigger picture, the game has lost my respect by constantly shitting out loot crates, and when that happens, I stop buying other things. Poof, they've lost their revenue there.
I think I'd prefer the game to have a subscription instead of free to play + lootcrates if it meant more developers hired for attention on gameplay than on the loot crates. As in all fairness, the cosmetics team they have has not missed a beat on dropping cosmetics weekly.
How so? I guess I could have went into the garage and shown how it's just a color change and not even a skin. And compared it to the other colour variations in the game.
This is just BS. They will not lower the prices untill they see the players stop buying. It is not on them, they try, it is on the ppl that spend so much money on crap skins...
I think this situation is on them more than the players personally. This sale is for regular store items so an expectation of similar base prices with a sale price is what most of the playerbase had. Coming in high base and discounting to a price higher than equivalent skin base prices was entirely their marketing teams decision. Loot crates are an up front scummy system. This was a backhanded attempt though, in my opinion.
Its such a fickle thing. If they don't make money the investors may just cancel the game. Appeasing the masses with lower prices might work. but if they make drastically less money. Then the investors may still just end it, even if it's profitable, because they can make a new game with loot boxes during launch hype and repeat the process. I've grown to hate the free to play game model because of this.
I think taking breaks is always a good idea with this type of game. With star conversion it's not that big of a deal to miss out on starchrom anymore. Have fun in 7d2d!
AAA doesn't feel so worth it anymore. I recommend like 2 or 3 indie games for the same price. This games cash grab is still less than a lot of them out there. And thankfully no pay to win at least.

@@DovazX Agree.
Once Human devs seem to think their playerbase are a buncha 10 yr olds that they can fool.

What makes it worse is the beanbag has the chair animation, and it's so disappointing.
@@DwrWayne that sucks. They should have used the animation from the Halloween throne as it's a bit more lay back
cant wait your recation about the new loot crate ^^

you did not do the bike skin justice

Prismverse is the only good scenario. And its not great. Lol
Each scenario has its charm. But each is also lacking in various ways. Hopefully they learn from it and the next new scenario is better for it
that how Chinese gets you to buy more.
Chinese video games often have a stereotype of being more focused on gambling tricks than this type of trick. But I guess tricks are tricks.
Aye, its scammy. Which is why I'm not buying any of it. Maybe one day they will learn.

Game is boring after grinding so hard since days one.. im back on 7 days to die

for that price i buy a AAA game, this whole game is just a cash grab!
AAA doesn't feel so worth it anymore. I recommend like 2 or 3 indie games for the same price. This games cash grab is still less than a lot of them out there. And thankfully no pay to win at least.
