As a person who absolutely loves cosmetics in games and always feels compelled to get at least some outfits if I can for my character because the free outfits always suck, a lot of people don’t get that there’s gamers who CAN afford to buy these expensive skins but don’t like that it’s such an unreasonable price. You can want something and not agree with the price. It’s like seeing a $35 sandwich, it’s unreasonable and you’ll most likely end up eating elsewhere for cheaper and getting more for that same price, or like seeing a tiny $500 designer bag that you really liked, and in the end you’ll shake your head and walk away. I don’t like when people say “You don’t HAVE to buy any cosmetics, no ones forcing you to and they have no game enhancing/changing features”, when that’s not the point, you should never have to spend over $100 for a skin with no use other than personal satisfaction, all skins including the car skins should cost no more than $150 at most, and that’s where the complaint comes in, the pricing is ridiculous and consumers have the right to complain about it, it’s still apart of the game that the developers can make adjustments to, so more players can have a chance to obtain the outfits they want without having to use half of their paychecks.
Waste of money, yes. Game boring, debatable as I'm having fun in the new pvp scenario. Devs (or publisher/marketing specifically) taking advantage of the playerbase? Most definitely!
Still don't see the point. If you don't wanna spend more than 100 bucks for a cosmetic skin (and honestly, that's already outrageous enough for ONE skin), then - just don't? I mean, complain about it if you want to but I see a LOT of people spending crazy money on those lootboxes and then whining about how expensive it is and that's the thing I don't get: If you don't wanna spend over X amount on lootboxes, then why are you doing it? Do you have so little self-control or is your FOMO so strong that you can't set yourself a budget and KEEP TO IT? The world won't stop turning if you don't have that nice car skin, or that nice clothes skin, or that nice motorcycle skin and guess what? Just because you want it that doesn't mean you're entitled to it.
100% agree. I did decide to gamble, half guided by desire for the car. The other half by feeling as a wannabe content creator that I should be the one to eat the bullet to showcase the crystal system. I will say it multiple times in all the comments. I still love this game. I'm having a lot of fun. I am only complaining about the loot boxes, as someone who bought the early ones, because they are getting much worse even for the whales. I want the game as a whole to be better, because I enjoy it so much.
aren't there complains and feeedbacks regarding the loot boxes since the burning bike? But netease still told the devs to put these in and this time the drop chance for the " good" stuff is even more outrageous than the previous ones. I feel like the feedbacks are reaching on deafs ears. But i still hope by continuing reaching out to the devs might chance things.
but this is a major problem actually. If devs see that players buying this garbage no matter what... the game quality drops significantly, they can just release these boxes and don't give a s.t abt the bugs (which are lots of and fixing is so poor...regarding their profit from these lootcrates.)
@@infereon Exactly, lootboxes are not a problem, bugs are. When second season started I was suprised it's all still there even in a most basic things. Now I see what they are busy with...
Idk why they dont do like fortnite, everyone can have everything they want and epic games got a lot of money thanks to that, gacha should be banned especially on game or at least make it less expensive
I get judged a lot for being one of the people that spend money on these crates for these videos. My aim is to get cosmetics that I like, but also to inform people how the system works, and reveal the fine print. Comments like yours make it all worth it for me. I'm glad I was able to help! I do want the crates to get better from my criticisms too. I love the game.
I'm a normal whale but the fire bike skin felt really bad and I have not bought anything from the shop since, I will play their free game and get my money's worth until I see that they have learned and are actively trying to not fuck us.
Price is absurd, I was defending these lightforge crates up to a point, but I find the pricing on this so outrageous that it’s just egregiously greedy. I decided to pick up the cradle charm as it goes well with the cradle I picked up from the last lightforge collection, but otherwise I have no interest in this sort of pricing and it was an easy pass from me.
I find it fucking brilliant that almost every content creator i've seen talk about these lootboxes think the devs went too far but they end up spending a CRAPTON of money on them anyways because they wanna do the "for science" shit. Thanks for being yet another one of those people that shows the devs this is an accepted thing instead of just refusing to buy into this bullshit.
Fr they're just using that "I. Testing" bullshit . They make all this money on crates yet the game has so many issues. We are fucked, too bad this game had so much potential ooof
I feel like you didn't watch the video. I think this was my most negative opinion in a video yet where I'm confident I helped viewers understand the antics behind the scenes here to be more informed. I don't watch other creators so I can't have an opinion on what they've done. I spent a much smaller amount of money than I would normally, to showcase the new crystal system for others to get a proper opinion themselves. Did I want to try my luck and get the car? Yeah. But I don't regret failing, as I've already read a few comments from people that the video helped prevent them getting hosed for the $600. I do these showcases to inform others, as I'm not a monetized content creator I don't get paid for this. If my information stops others from spending, then I'm confident that's a net positive towards showing the dev's that it's not acceptable.
I'm really enjoying the new faction PvP. We may be on a losing 5 to 1 as mayfly but our tactics and teamwork has been inspiring. We're enjoying the mode and constant uphill battle. Hopefully the new snow map brings more life to PvE players soon.
Hey bro when i got x2 blue crystal i was devastated I thought that i should not be getting anymore blue crystal after i received one and was expecting tier 2 and 3 left. So i realized if u were unlucky u may have to pull 7 more rounds to get the car skin. After i loaded up 300aud worrh of crystigin, i wanted to not proceed but my mind convinced me just use up your cristigin and do not do anymore more lightforge for good. Nekminute i got the car skin on the 8 draw after my 3rd round so basically i got it with the 0.06% rate and not from the pitty drop. From having anxiety to instant dopamine rush. Best feeling ever. So this what winning gambling feels like!
I'm just annoyed that it seems to be getting worse. Like I'm an idiot and I will spend money frivolously. But not when the bait starts to taste worse and worse each loot crate. It really sours the experience when there is a dye system in the game, that they basically haven't touched. Instead now it's multiple cosmetics with different colours.
I must have got fairly lucky on the first 10 pulls ( won't spend anymore than that). I got two blue crystals and a purple. In the first 10. So, I was a bit taken back how many people aren't getting anything. But I do agree 600 is far too much. They should sell them a bit more than regular skins... car would easily sell for 40. They'd probably MAKE A HELL of a lot more.
Based on the rates, getting 2 blue and a purple in a 10 pull is really lucky for sure. Congrats! As for selling the car for $40. I know a handful of friends that would buy it instantly for that. Sadly I'm sure there's some statistic somewhere saying that for every 10 people willing to spend $40 theres at least 1 person willing to spend the $600 for a $200 extra income. Otherwise loot crates wouldn't have continued to exist. I'd love to see their statistics for sales
I'm happy to spend the first 10 as they're half price, that's about it. The car is what people are after, so the 0.06% is a bait. People who invest. Like you did here, they may feel they've wasted it and will likely push through. I can speak with experience with this as my partner wanted the outfit from the last Crate. He got into the mindset of well I've come this far if I don't get the outfit now... then I've wasted 70 dollars. (We're in the Uk, so I think he'd spend a total of about £90 to get the 3 items even though he only wanted to outfit). They lean on that sadly unless you have enough self-control to say, " Hey.. was a loss .. let's leave it there." I'm okay with paying for cosmetics. I'd even be okay with these if they didn't put such a low % on drop rate and a lot cheaper. The duplicate system is where I have an issue! It's deceiving, saying there's none when actually there is. Yes. You don't have to buy them! But I also believe in game devs valuing their consumers. You'll end up like Ubisoft and get a tad too greedy.
It could just be bad luck but it feels to me like there is no real RNG and you always get junk. I have bought 10x the half price crates on two accounts for each set and I think there have been 5 now. So that is 100 draws and I have never gotten one of the high value items. I do like some of the things I have gotten like alternate crates, securement units and some clothing items. But after spending $100 I have nothing impressive. I don't mind as the game is free and I have gotten a lot more than $100 of value from it but the system is really broken.
The RNG is very weighted towards the lesser skins for sure. I'd love to see the % chance at the guaranteed 30 pull for each crystal. I doubt its as simple as 1/10 for the good crystal 4/10 for the mid crystal and 5/10 for the lowest. But even if it is, those are still terrible odds at the price.
It is insane that it will take 630 dollars after taxes roughly to get the max reward. Due to the extreme predatory nature of their crate system I will no longer participate. What upsets me the most is how this is going to have an effect on folks that should not be purchasing these as they could have limited financial standing and the harm this will cause. I could very easily purchase this but for the price tag I'd rather just buy 4 stocks, or perhaps maybe some hardware etc. Absolutely disgusting, shame on Starry Studio there are many young adults and children this predatory system is going to harm and abuse. I really feel like the Studio may be bordering on pushing the legal boundaries of online gambling, remember folks when the game shuts down you lose all those digital items.
Problem is they are making the system worse and worse for whales. Only the ultra wealthy that have no self respect at this point would be okay with getting duplicate skins with a colour swap when a dye system exists, and has basically never been used. I fear that they will push even the mega whales away long before normal for a game like this.
At first I thought they were confused with their cosmetics. But at this point they are all similarly coming from a weird place. That place isn't the world they built in game, maybe one day we will go to that person's eternaland though haha
these cosmetics are actually really good. Just these prices and loot box mechanics are too whack. I did the full loot crate with the bike. Doing that each month is just not right at all. They come out to quick and get more expensive each new crate. I love this game and this shit is just turning out to be so sad.
Yeah I went all in on the bike, I liked all of that set. But I wasn't expecting lightforge every 2 weeks, to get more expensive, and start duping skins in different colours. I'll spend money, but not when these practices that are even anti whale exist.
The closest I can get to explaining the sensation would be buying something like a statue, painting, or other form of artwork or collectible. When you look at it, it makes you happy. You show it off to your friends and enemies. But in all reality that statue, painting or collectible has no other purpose (usually). Yeah you can resell the physical item but... Again closest analogy I could think of
Doesn't a lot of games have crazy expensive funding packs with like a badge or achievement and nothing more? At least this one has a decent product goes along with it. Imagine complaining about not able to afford luxury spence like overprized shoes and purse that worth essencially nothing either.
Im not sure what games your playing that have expensive packs that just give a badge or achievement but I'll steer clear of those. I think your looking at it much differently than others. I have, and would spend money on these lootcrates (because I'm dumb and frivolous with my money and want to make videos showcasing them). But to use your shoes as an example, if you enjoy buying high priced shoes. But suddenly for no reason the shoe company decides that the new shoe costs twice the price of the last shoe. And when you look at it the only difference is that it now has 2 sets of shoelaces in different colours. Would you not be upset that the shoe company is trying to rip you off even harder?
I seen the glass building pack and thought it was cool. I about crapped my pants when I seen it was 50-60 US dollars. Most the stuff in the shop is not targeted for my taste anyhow. Worse is I hit level 44 and went to the level 50 areas where I expected most the players were. I saw videos of crowded trucks with player vending machines and expected a thriving economy for buy and selling all with a thriving hub where all the players went. I walked around all all the hot spots I seen on the video's a few months ago and realized how different the world is. I turned on Vending machines and checked all the servers. Just a few scattered about and a 50-50 chance their won't be a house or vending machine where it shows they should be in each world. Feels like each world has maybe 5-10 people on at a time max. So maybe 75-150 players on during peak times across all worlds maybe. Then after changing worlds it seems like it brings about weird lag and issues that only restarting the game clears up. Games a lot of fun, but more like playing single player with an option to team up.
Providing a showcase of the system, specifically how the new crystals thing works, to make as many people willing to watch be as informed as possible for their own choice on the matter.
if u are so against it now since it got more expensive why the f are u spending more money it only enables them if u go like "oh i will just try for the video!"
I've responded to similar comments with large paragraphs. So feel free to read those for more detail. But it's really two things. I want the car skin because I still really enjoy the game. Secondly I also make these videos to showcase the system and the items for others to make informed decisions for themselves. The more people I show how bad it can be by spending myself, there is then a net positive in our collective effort against spending on these crates to try to change the direction devs are going. Say I prevent even once person from spending $600 from watching me throw away my own, the company already lost out on money. I showcased the new crystal thing this time. If the next lootcrate comes out with duplicate colour options and the same crystal system I doubt I'll spend and I'll probably double down on the negativity.
Definitely a waste of money and the devs, or more likely the publisher and marketing teams are pushing the limits on these prices. I still enjoy the game, if the games gotten boring for you though and you don't like the new PvP scenario I'd recommend a break and return at the new Snow scenario in October
@@DovazX One thing I can say about this game is the map is absolutely beautiful, some amazing scenery , i love the missions and that. i just wish they would tackle the problem of high amount of cheater players then id enjoy the PVP side as im a PVP player, id like to see them lower the price of cosmetics and increase the chance of high loot on the gambling system, i think the price is a joke just being honest. I think they need to sort out the lag... i would of liked to of seen more PVE content before the PVP just because the cheaters an lag. I think they would make so much more money if the price was reasonable for all players as i love the game and want it to grow i will only speak the truth.
I like skins for the same reason I like statues, paintings and collectibles outside of the game. I enjoy looking at them, and life is best when you enjoy it.
Bring this stuff before the season begins is such a good move. Im not yelling these people who buy keep the game alive. I love this game but please update things that are more important than the chat buttons
This statement is one of the best that many need to follow. However I actually love this game. I'm over 1060 hours on it now and the new scenario has been some of the most fun I've had in a long time. I also don't mind buying cosmetics. But when every loot crate gets worse and worse and they try to hide what their doing I can't sit back and stay positive about it. If the alternate colours were just dye options, therein reducing qty of items back to the previous loot crates with a max of $300 USD. I'd be rolling around in that car skin right now 100% just like I did with the motorcycle.
I've responded to this statement in a bunch of other comments if you'd prefer more details. The more people that see me lose to the system. The more people that decide they better not do it themselves. It's a larger picture type of results. Which honestly wasn't even my objective with the video, it's not like I want the game to fail as I'm still enjoying it. The monetization bad practices just come out in the showcase. I just want to make videos to help inform people to make their own decisions.

It's pretty cool. But not up to $600 cool. I can't in good conscious recommend anyone spend that much for a set of cosmetics.
if only they spent the same amount of effort into end game things to do they would have more buyers lol
Hopefully they surprise us with lots of new endgame in the new snow map coming

But to use your shoes as an example, if you enjoy buying high priced shoes. But suddenly for no reason the shoe company decides that the new shoe costs twice the price of the last shoe. And when you look at it the only difference is that it now has 2 sets of shoelaces in different colours. Would you not be upset that the shoe company is trying to rip you off even harder?
I seen the glass building pack and thought it was cool. I about crapped my pants when I seen it was 50-60 US dollars. Most the stuff in the shop is not targeted for my taste anyhow. Worse is I hit level 44 and went to the level 50 areas where I expected most the players were. I saw videos of crowded trucks with player vending machines and expected a thriving economy for buy and selling all with a thriving hub where all the players went. I walked around all all the hot spots I seen on the video's a few months ago and realized how different the world is. I turned on Vending machines and checked all the servers. Just a few scattered about and a 50-50 chance their won't be a house or vending machine where it shows they should be in each world. Feels like each world has maybe 5-10 people on at a time max. So maybe 75-150 players on during peak times across all worlds maybe. Then after changing worlds it seems like it brings about weird lag and issues that only restarting the game clears up. Games a lot of fun, but more like playing single player with an option to team up.
what is the point when people actually buy them if 10 people buy them they get what they made them for
Providing a showcase of the system, specifically how the new crystals thing works, to make as many people willing to watch be as informed as possible for their own choice on the matter.
if u are so against it now since it got more expensive why the f are u spending more money it only enables them if u go like "oh i will just try for the video!"
I've responded to similar comments with large paragraphs. So feel free to read those for more detail. But it's really two things. I want the car skin because I still really enjoy the game. Secondly I also make these videos to showcase the system and the items for others to make informed decisions for themselves. The more people I show how bad it can be by spending myself, there is then a net positive in our collective effort against spending on these crates to try to change the direction devs are going. Say I prevent even once person from spending $600 from watching me throw away my own, the company already lost out on money. I showcased the new crystal thing this time. If the next lootcrate comes out with duplicate colour options and the same crystal system I doubt I'll spend and I'll probably double down on the negativity.
600usd for the car... Totally ovee expensive
Price of a new graphics card for most people
I destroyed these guys wearing a new cosmetics in PvP...haha worthless!
At least it's cosmetic and not pay to win. Then we'd have a much bigger issue.
What a waste of money. Games boring devs are taking advantage of the player base by the price of pointless items
Definitely a waste of money and the devs, or more likely the publisher and marketing teams are pushing the limits on these prices. I still enjoy the game, if the games gotten boring for you though and you don't like the new PvP scenario I'd recommend a break and return at the new Snow scenario in October
@@DovazX One thing I can say about this game is the map is absolutely beautiful, some amazing scenery , i love the missions and that. i just wish they would tackle the problem of high amount of cheater players then id enjoy the PVP side as im a PVP player, id like to see them lower the price of cosmetics and increase the chance of high loot on the gambling system, i think the price is a joke just being honest. I think they need to sort out the lag... i would of liked to of seen more PVE content before the PVP just because the cheaters an lag. I think they would make so much more money if the price was reasonable for all players as i love the game and want it to grow i will only speak the truth.
Y'all care about skins? Weird
I like skins for the same reason I like statues, paintings and collectibles outside of the game. I enjoy looking at them, and life is best when you enjoy it.
@@DovazX see i enjoy having money more lol
this is worse than genshin.
I haven't played Genshin in a long while. At least they have waifus? We get cars. And duplicate skins in different colours.... just costs a kidney!
Electro trash
Careful, your comment might inspire them to add a trash can furniture in the same theme.
Bring this stuff before the season begins is such a good move. Im not yelling these people who buy keep the game alive. I love this game but please update things that are more important than the chat buttons
If your not happy with a game just stop playint it 👍
I'm happy with the game. Just more surprised that there are players happy to splurge money on 'virtual vanity'.
This statement is one of the best that many need to follow. However I actually love this game. I'm over 1060 hours on it now and the new scenario has been some of the most fun I've had in a long time. I also don't mind buying cosmetics. But when every loot crate gets worse and worse and they try to hide what their doing I can't sit back and stay positive about it. If the alternate colours were just dye options, therein reducing qty of items back to the previous loot crates with a max of $300 USD. I'd be rolling around in that car skin right now 100% just like I did with the motorcycle.
Gamers like this are just gems. Thanks for supporting the game. We are please with your endeavor.
Nah he got bent for the "I'm testing bullshit"
I'd bend even harder like I did for the bike, if the system wasn't getting worse. xD
They would change the way all this worked if you guys would just stop buying it
I've responded to this statement in a bunch of other comments if you'd prefer more details. The more people that see me lose to the system. The more people that decide they better not do it themselves. It's a larger picture type of results. Which honestly wasn't even my objective with the video, it's not like I want the game to fail as I'm still enjoying it. The monetization bad practices just come out in the showcase. I just want to make videos to help inform people to make their own decisions.
