🚨UPDATE🚨
DETAILED REDDIT POST BREAKING DOWN PRICES FOR EACH ITEM: www.reddit.com/r/TheFirstDescendant/comments/1dp601c/tech_test_cash_shop_costs_referenced_to_leaked/?
around 10 dollars for the battlepass? thats actually alright. You even get 300 caliber from the battlepass. Skins expensive for sure, but as long as the battlepass isnt getting more expensive - the monetization looks fair in my eyes for a f2p game in these days.
it's absolutely fine...
But players want free to play game without micro transactions lol. It's unreal.
@@victorchanaud9126 fr🤦🏽♂️
if the skin prices funds and keeps the game fair and f2p for everyone without any advantages, i have no problem with buying them if i like the skins
@@victorchanaud9126 what's your point? How would they gain any kind of profit from a free to play game? It's not about having microtransactions or not, it is about having a fair amount which won't ruin the gameplay for those who will enjoy it for free
Naw if u play Black Desert Online they charge $22 for outfits just outfits $35 for outfits that come with a full set of weapon skins so this is fine
You are always on top of the latest news!! Keep up the great work!
THE BP returns you 300 caliber back...why Noone mention this..
thanks for the info, thats nice
@@Jefrico_Fernaldy spread the word...warframe haters cry babies all over...
Good to know! Thanks for the heads up!
@@THIEVIN. why hate I do not understand....it has already 6 MILLION views on y tube....so sorry something else is dead...maybe your brain...
@@THIEVIN. now you proved that your brain is dead...good day ...go play warframe...
My general rule when it comes to monetization is if i can get 1 hour of enjoyment per 1$ spent, that makes it worth it.
Considering you can grind the important stuff just by playing F2P will be just fine.
Those who like the game will pay and support. Pricing doesnt seem too crazy so im sure itl be fine.
That is a positive and healthy way to look at it. I had a similar conversation recently with a friend about the Xbox Game Pass, for 8 euro me finishing one game its already worth it.
"But you don;t own your games" some would say - How many times one would go and play a single player game twice or more, I rarely do it.
Gonna hold this game to the Warframe Standard (at least back when I played 1000 hours, 5/6 years ago) with it being what we GET for said Caliber.
A whole color PALLET for $5?! Hell yeah!
ONE color for $5?! Get Bent.
Haven’t watched the whole video yet but this is crazy. But the one thing I think Warframe will always have over other F2P games is in game trading system that works well. Truly can be fully F2P with time.
I don’t mind the $10 battle pass what I’m worried about is how much is the pay for convenience part with unlocking descendants etc. as someone with a limited time to play I normally lean towards this to get enjoyment out of the game not just farming for months to finally play what I want.
I think descendants were 600 Caliber each but don't quote me on that.
@The0neMemory if that's how it is then it's literally the same as say Warframe or a dollar more last I checked at least
I have plenty of time to play but I'm planning to buy and trick out Bunny as soon as I have shop access 😂😂
@@fingermi7571 immediately 😂
if BP going to be £10, that's gonna be really nice, (in most games I play it's around £20) I don't mind spending that much and supporting the f2p game.
And ten bucks for the battle pass yea that's standard but the prices for the others is ridiculous
Free game man least you ain't paying 70 -110$ for it 😅
if the skin prices funds and keeps the game fair and f2p for everyone without any advantages, i have no problem with buying them if i like the skins
Your comment reads as if you were away from the gaming industry in the past 5 years 🤣
@@antiimperialista5764
And you sound like a boiled frog.
@@thelonlydarkness
And his comment still stands you clown.
Just want to say I’m a huge fan of your channel! Looking forward to this game finally launching!
Thank you so much, I love to hear that! I'm PUMPED for launch!
Thanks Vulkan!
Most they'll get out of me is a founder's pack purchase if there is anything I want in it.
There is no founders pack
The game is free. A cash shop is mandatory.
Indeed, but that also depends on how they will balance the farming time with the pay-for-convenience shop.
Nobody is arguing that much
Ok? I don’t think anyone would argue with you on that, the prices for things just need to be reasonable.
Not bad. Like you said, pretty standard.
Coming from gacha games and D2 this is better then I hoped for coming from Nexon. They had a gacha game at one point who’s best character to fully max was something crazy like 5k. I’ll update if I can remember what it was called but they already shut it down.
I know most aren’t happy but I definitely am, looking forward to some good skins 😅
10€ for the battlepass seems fair alongside the rest of the free to play games which have a BP. EDIT: Do you earn enough caliber to buy the next one so its a only 1 time purchase ? thanks
300 currency back
Hopefully they come out with a founders pack
they should of added that w early acces for ppl who bought it bruh i would of payed i cant any longer to play
They aren't it was mentioned today.
So basically $1 for every 50 caliber, with some bonuses for buying larger packs. What's the period of time for the battle pass, 1 month? 3 Months?
I can remember hearing that it's 1 month, but don't quote me, because I literally don't remember where I heard it
changes every new season
If those prices stay, it's basically like Destiny 2 and/or other games. It is sadly industry standard. But fair and not dilusional for a f2p game. Remember the devs have to monetize the game somehow, inform yourself about current development costs of games, it is insane. As long as it doesn't get too much into pay2win and mostly pay4fashion, i am totally fine with it.
I'm the kinda person who'd go for buying skins often if they felt affordable and very likely spend hundreds in the long run, but 15-25 for a skin just feels like I won't be buying a single one as that kinda asking price doesn't feel like the worth of a single skin to me. To buy 3 better skins would be 75 bucks, the price of a AAA title and no doubt the game will after that keep asking for more for many other things... so in that sense, I'd prefer something else than a "free"to play monetization... But time will tell if that is actually the kinda range or if it's tweaked for the release...
It's not a sad industry, it simply a way to sell a product. A different format. The point is that if they want to make profit for long time, they should focus more on affordable cheap things that are available for battle pass and maybe stuff like cosmetics make them more exclusive or more limited to when the new character is released, similar to prime access
The only matter for me is what is the cap slots for chars and weapons because if I have to buy new slots with real money and I literally have 0% chance for getting them by playing game then it is big red flag and it means I have to stay away from it. Because we know there will be a lot of new chars and weaps in the future also u can double ur mod limits so exacly like in Warframe. But in Warframe u can earn platinium (premium currency) by playing game and trade with other players. In Warframe 90% of my platinium I just spent on these slots, the rest for fashion...
I have the same question. Do I have to pay for extra descendant and weapon slots? And how much are they? 2nd question is how fast can premium currency be aquired just by playing, if at all. I hope they make a player to player trade system for the exact same reasons.
Play one character and stop gimping yourself
Idk if you know, but you can get free slots frop nightwave and even for free if you grind :P ! I sold glaive prime set blueprints for ~150-200p (300p when it was in high demand) and got super rich on plat. 😅
@maimer1691 Nightwave came long after the game was released. Slots were the biggest road block to a new f2p player in WF for a very long time. That's why we're asking about price and availability and whether or not there will be a player to player trading system.
@@GRudeger oh yeah, player to player trading system also exists in Warframe. Wouldn't FD have the same problem for their newer players as well? When you start as a new player in Warframe you get a bit of free plat which you can in turn use to buy one or two slots. The grind up some plat for anymore you want. It'd be nice if FD did the same.
Hi, OP of the reddit post here
I happened to notice 2 minutes after it was on steamdb, but didn't post it on reddit for another 14 minutes
Ok goodbye
Thank you for your eagle eye!
They gave us a bunch of caliber in the beta test and we were able to buy the descendant parts and craft them correct? Anyone remember how much a single descendant cost? That may be the only thing I purchase so I can play Jayber right out the gate as I didn't care for any of the 3 starter descendants.
It was like 300 total for all the parts I believe.
Half the fun is the grind! Why skip it??
@@sKullzoo9 I agree, to a certain extent. I didn't really like any of the starter Descendants, they were all very meh. I loved Jayber. So I will be full on grinding with Jayber, rather than a Descendant I find dull and boring. It will make me play even more.
@@sKullzoo9 there is a difference between grinding a fair amount and grinding hell amount of hours to get a single thing.
Grinding is okay when you won't feel that you won't get what you want if you don't pay
I’m willing to get a battlepass every few months but that’s probably the extent of what I’ll purchase unless I end up mailing the game for most of a year or something
jesus that is expensive. If the caliber costs in the last beta are accurate to release build then its a bit disappointing how expensive they are making it.
While they removed the gacha paint system I have to assume the pricing of the new system will still be similar. The Gacha system costed 300 caliber for 5 rolls, thats more than $1 per single use paint. And that price was set around the idea of gacha random rolling. If its not random anymore we can expect it to cost more than that for paint now
On the surface $1 or $2 for a single-use paint doesnt sound that bad, but when you consider the development time of the paint it seems a bit excessive. It took someone less than 5 seconds to make that paint and they are charging $1 or more for it
$100 for an ultimate character is not fair 😂 $40 is more reasonable but it’s a Korean dev team so I’m not surprised
Given Nexon's past record of scummy choices regarding monetization I am going to wait for a detailed breakdown after launch before trying this game. I worry there will be paywalls or other nonsense once you reach endgame.
I am willing to play it despite Nexon's past scams, game looks fair and I am simply hoping that they are trying to make a thing of the past the whole concept of nexon=shit
I only plan on buying the Battle Pass. $10 for extra loot etc in a free to play game is money well spent and worth supporting the devs hard work on this title.
so skins are 15 dollars not that bad considering cod skins are 20$ usually
If the game got me hooked, the price is ok to support the dev, but these kind of games are usually 50/50 good and bad, beta was ok, nothing that surprised me, but I wanna see how the end game is, if the pricing for the battlepast is similar like Helldivers 2 level of microtransaction, that's cool.
Us ? Cant imagine candian dollars even worse.....
250 Caliper is 6.99 CAD 500 Caliper is 13.49 (according to what's shown in the video)
15-25 for a single skin just feels disrespectful.
Hopefully the grind for getting them won't be too exhausting, but that kind of a pricepoint makes me think they're going to be making it annoying on purpose to sell. Shame, as I love buying skins often and would likely have spent a lot more on the game with lesser prices, since those kinda skinprices make me often not buy anything and then just tune out when things get dissatisfying to earn.
Hopefully the prices will be tweaked for the final version.
Take my money 💵💵💵
Here is the founders pack😂😂
BP price is decent, but get bent on skins prices all i care about is how much backpack space i have and how much it'll cost to max the spaces
If it will be completely playable just with premium BP for 10usd/eur, Im ok with that. And by playable I mean no mental grind to reach p2w player levels.
in the steam database when u convert 100 usd to indonesian money 5k caliber is gonna cost u 8 dollars usd..... if u use indonesian account
Which is illegal if you are not from Indonesia
@@Luctor its not illegal its illegal to sell back to us players for cheap though which is whats about to happen gonna have BUY CHEAP CALIBER websites just like warframe if they keep the pricing the same
@@Luctor people that know how to do this method will abuse it if there is trading game is ruined cause u dont know if ur trading someone who bought caliber off a website then next thing u know ur account gets banned cause the account u traded w got banned for buying that caliber cheap
@@woodyskywalker that's just like warframe
Do you know if you can find premium currency in game at all? The skin prices seem really high but I guess that's good because they can milk the whales. If the BP is 10$ I think that's okay. I've bought full price games for 60$ so buying a BP a couple times for a game I sink 100hrs into is more than fair but I'd never pay 15$ for a skin
i mean people spend a bit more on valorant dont they or even cs
2-3 things play a role here:
1. If the cosmetics & co. cost a little bit more than normal €15 or more, that is okay with me because that wont disrupt my enjoyment of the gameplay.
2. If the rest costs normal then we are good, like Battlepass €10 or some other convenience thing. I have seen much worse than €10 for a Battlepass.
3. I hope we dont get some Gacha because that will make the game expensive.
The Gacha system got removed because of feedback (the one that we knew)
Hmmm doesnt seem to bad a Warframe skin is bout $10 and black desert online an outfit no weapon skins is $22 with weapons its $35 so this is definitely middle ground for me im ok with it. Would love it to be less but still managable.
Need to work a little more with Ai, the enemy is a little too stupid.
You as a content creator should know why they have to sell in specific increments and won’t let you just buy a single item. It because of the platform store fee. PlayStation/ steam/ Microsoft require items in their shops and the currency to be their shop and they can’t just have a slider. It’s has to be incremental.
As good as this game is, I dont think it will mirror Warframes 100% free to play environment. Sure you can spend money to get things faster but everything is free and craftable. This game has copied a lot from Warframe, I hope the copy that very important element. Warframe is the best F2P game of all time and they make money, so it clearly works.
520 caliber should be $5 and 1000 caliber should be $10 etc
First descendant looks like a good game but I'm pretty sure it won't last. It'll die out after a couple of months, I'll give it about a year.
Idk why people complain so much about the prices are similar to other f2p games. If you complain about this price why dont you guys go and boicot apex and Valorant. When the prices are predatory for what you get. $25 for a skin is comparable to Valorant, apex and other games with similar shops. You guys are just making a big deal about something that's not new. And the company has to receive funds to maintain the game. That's nothing new. That's why destiny 2 has paid dlc and a shop. Complain about something else.
Thank you! People acting like this isn't exactly like every other f2p game
Pretty much same as world of warships blitz
This is what I expected, because it makes the Battle Pass $10, which was the most likely item to be a standardized price. But it is too expensive in my opinion. I already don't buy Prime Access for Warframe, and TFD is trying to release with lesser value on its ultimate bundles? Guess we're doing mostly free-to-play.
The model looks pretty identical to warframe so not really worried.
true but in wf you can trade, wf also has a free pass only this do not have any of that
The model is anything but identical to the one in Warframe. The fact that you can trade the premium currency in Warframe and in TFD we won't be able to do that makes it the complete opposite. And as the previous commenter mentioned, the battle pass there is free with no paid skips. I don't mean to talk ill about TFD, I'll definitely play the game when it comes out since I had fun in the betas, but I don't appreciate false information being given.
Tell me you havent even turned on warframe without telling me you havent turned on warframe
okay you can't trade, battle pass. I never interacted with trading and I never did the battle pass in warframe, so it's really no different to me. And, for most casual players, it really will NOT make any significant difference. If you don't agree, that's fine, but I really don't care at this point. People are making a fuss over nothing. They wouldn't make a fuss over fortnite's battle pass or any other game's battle pass.
@@paulb4480it will make a significant difference if we consider that Nexon lost a lawsuit cause they basically created a code for reducing drop chance of anything if you don't pay
Battle pass isn't the problem. It's the people who spend 20 dollars one skin. Devs probably said...
"Simps like bunny girls? So we make bunny girl skins and make our our money like that!"
And it works every time...
True it does work but they have to make money somehow you know
I do love me some bunny girls 😅😂
sometimes whales help minnows swim
Would you really care about a skin that much? To be honest, I would love to see them make shitty skins for simps willing to spend that much. One different thing if they make grinding hell and you can skip it by paying
Battlepass is okay, but everything else yea ima pass. Ya'll kill me with the (it's a free game, it has to make money somehow) comments.
No matter if its free or not, if folks love your game, they will speak with their wallets. The easier it is for them to spend, the more they will buy.. (Esp if they have a job) Imagine if they went the fort route n added emotes. Easy money. But let them cost 15$ each? Sure, people will still buy, but much much less... Come on now, yall.
I will glady throw my wallet at a game i love. But i aint buying a common looking outfit for 15$ fam 😅😅 Imagine them going the BDO route (25 to 30$) We not gonna mention EA..
Yeah cant see myself spending money on this. With $15-25+ skins, then $5 back accessories, one time use colors you have to buy......ill gladly spend my money on games that are not trying to squeeze as much out of me as possibly can.
then dont buy skins and just the 10€ battlepass? ?XD
Then go spend 60$ just to PLAY the game.
All that pricing is really just relative to the amount of money asked to purchase an item. I rarely play FTP and do not mind spending on something that has good value. However I am not a person to spend Hundreds on a game. Too many other good games out there to sink $$$ into one game.
so thats like $25 for skin? Pass. BP seems way more worth it.
Those prices Seem fair. Especially for a free to play game
2/3 ski s for the price of a game 😂 nah for me! They gotta make money for the long run but cmon thats warframe kinds whaling 😂😂😂
whit 10us you can get nothing and thats industry standard lmao
Those prices seem like a gatcha game model
Gacha Games are way more expensive. You have to spend an average of $70-120 per new 5* character introduced which is often even twice a month. And even then in gacha games you only have a base character, not maxed out. Maybe not even his/her signature weapon (if walking in WuWa terms) or signature light cone (if talking in star rail terms). You can't even begin to compare those 2 models!
That's an every game with micros model
have u ever played a gacha game my boy
@garfusso yep plenty. I was only referring to the premium currency model 5,10,20,50,100.
Gacha doesn't even let you get what you paid for and before u know it you spent 200+
Is this game f2p?
The only true FTP game out there is Warframe because you can easily farm the premium currency while playing the game, if this game goes the same way, I'll play it till I go blind.
You guys make me laugh... every gamer spends like 5-10$ a day on energy drinks and snacks. Or eats out for 20$ at lunch everyday but will cry to buy some stuff in a game that cost the same but last months of enjoyment.
Hey guys. We found the basement dweller with no bills to pay.
@@pheade1254 bahaha it’s the complete opposite. Which is why I don’t mind spending the money…. I work and am busy so it’s easier to spend 10-20$ to skip hours of unfun grind to get characters or whatever I need unless it’s something fun in the game. When you make adult money and take care of your bills you can afford 15$ skins etc for a game you play
Absolutely true… people make fun of people for paying for pixels.. yet they are gamers lol 😂
Gotta be the biggest dummy to compare those 2. 😂
Spend the money if you have it
$25 for a skin? No thx.
Wont be beating warframe but hey ill give it a try
Death of a game: The First Descendant
Lol you wish
@@sKullzoo9 No. I wish a game that surprises me in a positive way for once when it comes to monetisation. Like Deep Rock Galactic as a prime example.
damn..the prices suck
I know Im an old boomer ranting, but see, I want to put money in this game, I will probably play it a ton and I would have no problem spending money on it BUT I refuse to buy a battlepass, battlepasses are the most pathetic and disgusting filth that has ever cursed gaming, I'd be ready to dish out 50 to 100 euros for this game during the weeks/months but not for a battlepass...
ok, then just don't buy the battle pass...
@@Hagosha yeah I wont, but I really wish there will be things worth buying like exp boosters
Usually the battlepass will get you the best bang for your buck, so refusing to buy the battlepass is like refusing the best deal on the store.
@@MrHDNA I know but battlepasses give me extreme FOMO so I never buy them even in games I play a lot
@jada_9827 wait wait wait
You hate battle passes
But you LIKE boosters?
You're an anomaly, wtf
Im so sick of f2p gatcha games.
It's not a gacha big guy
@@DavidWoodMusic thanks fanboy
@@brice9013 I'm not playing the game it looks terrible
I prefer books
Don’t spend. PERIOD!
Clearly all the weebs will buy all bunny skins on day one.
Shut up
I mean imma get the battle pass
lol then how do you expect them to keep making content for you hmm lmao
🤣 you need people to spend
why...? if the game is good...
BP €10, sure. All games have that, golden standard.
But €15-25 bucks for a skin, haha no way. Good luck with another garbage asian cashshop.
@@Ninja_Pro I played D1 & D2 for years, I even put up with Tess Eververse raid boss when it all started.. its also garbage, just because the game is "F2P" they try to justify asking a full price AAA-game's worth on a single bundle that gives you a "couple" cosmetics.. Same shit with Marvel Snap, completely ruined by greed and mobile monitization. Cant get any news card or you have to wallet €100 for a single new card, its disgusting.
Thats not going to end well for them, i'll try the game and see if it runs smooth and worth my time, but i'm not dropping mad cash on those dumb nerd beach waifu outfits..
I'm also not shy of microtransactions, I happily spend alot on my "main" game if it supports the company behind it and those micro's are "fair"
Not this "inflation, everything is SO expensive these days" bullshit we are getting fed up with. its digital "ingame" pixels, gtfo xD
Compared to other games? I guess you don't play warframe? This sounds like a ripoff to me
i think i stay as f2p
Like every f2p asian game, its going to flop with the western market. Espeically when you are dealing with Nexon who should be deleted.
Yea Nexon sucks at making games
This shit is gonna be dead in the water at these prices
Are you kidding... play any other f2p and tell me the prices aren't the same or more and people still buy. They won't have any problems if the gameplay is good.
Shit game ill pass lol
The question is, is the game so good that it's worth buying from the cash shop, or is it the usual shit that caters to stupid whales with no standards?
I am so tired of this cash shop bullshit. Another game I won't touch ever.
This game looks like an old ue3 game and soooooo boring! The ui designer probably designed that ui during a nap. Overall the whole game is just boring. This is no contender for Warframe - not even close! + Warframe is thanks to the p2p trading market extremely f2p friendly!
Just as expected, to be honest.
