Sometimes the nicer features just come later. Why do companies release DLCs now? Part of it's to milk more money, sure, but the other part is that they simply didn't finish the game before projected release, or wanted to add something fun later, or any manner of reasons. I'm sure in a few months someone will be asking, why hasn't there been customizable hairpieces from the start?

If only the game was complete when it shipped!

Actually, then I wouldn't have anything to look forward to.

I don't feel the need to answer that trolling. Sorry!

Hey, you answered your own question! Good job.

/thread

Honestly, I still kind of UV-fail-ragequit, and I have a feeling the majority of other players still do too. You can't only roll for 1 UV and try to keep your current UV; you MUST roll two or three, which is ungodly expensive. If someone doesn't have a good UV in the first place, they would still have to try for the first UV, and that's usually the one that makes people ragequit.

Another thing to consider when keeping a UV at Punch is that you can't get the same one but better - i.e. keeping a CTR low will never get you a CTR medium or high, which means people STILL have to roll for a good initial UV first before using the feature.

Of course, for richer players or for people who must have >1 UVs, this is a godsend.

Also, people like what they like -- it's possible some people have spent more on their accessories than gear or UVs.

I agree, but you'll still have poor saps like me who didn't get lucky enough to craft a UV or buy one pre-crafted. In that case, Punch is the only option for UVs. And like I said before, only the richer players have the luxury of using the 2 or 3 UV roll to any good effect -- not that there's anything wrong with that, and not that it's not a useful tool to them, it's just not useful for the playerbase at large. If I were to play until I could get ONE 3 UV roll, I would probably end up spending that on upgrading gear or CE, since it's highly likely I'd get something like gremlin low and beast low on a Glacius.

Alternately, why wasn't Lockdown or the Mission system in the game from the start?

So very obvious.

lol

We've already covered that the OP does not know what "trolling" is, but yeah! Lots of people don't get it.

Why launch a full feature, when you can do it at small steps and double milk the players.

for as much as possible. After they basically did that, they added the lock function to re-bilk us. I'm not one for greedy-evil-OOO theories.......

In fact, they were just super Greedy with this. Not evil at all.

Most likely the 2 and 3 punch rolls weren't being purchased very much. So they went back to the drawing board to find a way to increase player interest in them. They probably had a few ideas including changing the price but in the end settled on the new mechanic as a way to increase interest and punch's profits.

"lol y dident we hav pvp n shedow layrrs from tha beganing???????????????!????"

This is you. This is how dumb you sound.

And I'm talking about an idea that could obviously be included from the started, however it wasn't due to whatever reasons. You sound exactly as I have portrayed you.

This thread
it's a pointless wreck.

Dude, why wasn't the Hall of Heroes out on release? We had to buy all those recipes from AH, unless you wanted to wait for the 10% chance to get it at Basil!
