4/25/2012 1 hour before the inevitable....
me doing a vana run for accessories, players punching in UVs, crown sinks at AH market, everybody so innocent
4/25/2012 tht update that ruined the day
announcements about new things including UV protection! (not fair for those players who wasted sooo much), monster pockets (pets DUH!) but the thing that really got me was the new player creation! FREE accessories, height modifiers, and eyes! WHT IS OOO THINKING?!!!
you guys were just selling that for 50k a piece!
SO...my suggestions is give the old players the same treatment. height modifications, two head accessories, eye changes and for the players who did wasted money on eyes and height refund their money back! (their is a history of what they purchased so dont try to say you cant)
this is all.
Not fair for the old players! >.< (click here!)
All accessories are bound to their proto helms, meanin' that they can't simply take it off, makin' them useless if they find a more attractive helmet.
UV protection is for people who are tired of losin' good UVs.
Height modifiers and eye shapes are easily purchasable by Vatel anyhow, and are cosmetic only, meanin' that there shouldn't be any real reason to get them besides just flat out wanting them.
Pets part could've been worse... They could've added combat pets which would probably be one of the few things that would make me quit >.>
UV Protection: "Oh noez, now the average player might someday be able to get a decent dual-UV item O.O s0 unfa1r! D:" Yes, I know people have spent millions on fancy double/triple UVs. They did as well before Punch was added and multiple UVs were introduced, and guess what? They raged as they did now, but moved on and accepted it as a way to get better items. The SK community will adapt.
I do think that they should've allowed current players to change their appearance for free, but that's life. Considering it's for appearance and doesn't affect the actual gameplay, I'm willing to let it slide although it's clearly a money-grab.
Free accessories bound to a Proto helm... that's OOO's way of baiting newbies to waste cr/CE on accessories early. While it isn't technically "fair" for characters made before the update, in the end it'll likely raise demand for accessories a little (which helps improve the money-sink they are).
> "refund their money back!"
Ehh, no. OOO never guaranteed that this wouldn't be made free someday. Therefore you can't really do anything about this. You could just look at the customizations you bought as having a convenience fee attached to it :P.
I'm a little annoyed at the freebie height modifiers and eyes, as they're permanent adjustments to the base character - not the character's gear, as accessories are. I do kind of think it'd only be fair for Three Rings to distribute these modifiers to all existing players, even if the Extra Tall/Small and other eye shapes remain elusive and expensive items.
does OOO and sega want to lose their players?
besides even though its only to proto gear, many ppl use proto as costumes.
and height is permanent >.<
wht happened to first-come first-serve policy???
i think it was poor judgement
(not fair for those players who wasted sooo much)
Key word there is "wasted". Rolling more than one UV on punch was wasteful and terribly inefficient in the first place.
Also, they paid to get it first. Anyone who paid for stuff got it first, and those who waited eventually got it for free. This is often the case in any economic environment.
