My thoughts about energy and platinum pricing

[Samhayne]

Hey LelouchX,

Thanks for taking the time to write us with your feedback. To be clear, there is one character slot available for new accounts in both Pocket Legends and Star Legends. We know that the energy mechanic will not be for everyone. We have set up an official feedback thread for it that you can find in the Suggestions and Feedback forum here: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...nergy-Mechanic.

I edited your thread title to represent the content of your post and moved it to the Suggestion and Feedback forum for you.

Regarding the Platinum values, Dark Legends is a new game with a different Platinum curve. One of the problems that Pocket Legends and Star Legends have with such a huge difference in price per Platinum by volume is the user who spends $5 doesn't get very much because of how things are priced out. Our intent with Dark Legends Platinum curve is to even that out, making for a more uniform experience while still giving a lot to someone who wants to spend a lot and providing solid value for someone who just wants to try a few things out with a smaller purchase.

Also, just as a reminder, we ask that you please keep your feedback constructive. From the forum rules: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/misc.php?do=vsarules

Thanks in advance for keeping the feedback constructive.

thanks for your response sam. i have to say that i bit my tongue (or fingers) regarding how i felt after seeing the plat prices. i also thought pointing out what bothered me, and obviously others, was considered constructive, but that's neither here nor there.

I may have been wrong about the character slots you start with, but i'm pretty sure my point is still valid. we get less plat for our money, which would be fine IF the "Platnum curve" you mentioned was actually proportional. I believe it was 10 or 20 plat for a slot in PL/SL? i may be wrong, but i know it is much much less than 50. This would mean plat costs more in DL AND you need to spend more plat to get a second character slot.

For PL/SL, Lets assume that a character slot is 10 plat (if someone posts the actual value and its not 10, i'll edit this part):
EDIT: It's actually only 5 plat for a character slot in PL & SL, so:
- at the best bargain, you get 2000 plat for $90
- 1 plat = $0.045 ($90/2000)
- extra character slot = $0.225 (5 x $0.045)

For DL:
- at best bargain, you get 500 plat for $50
- 1 plat = $0.10 ($50/500)
- extra character slot = $5 (50 x $0.10)

Sorry if this sounds rude, but how how can you justify this? Maybe your platinum curve applies to other aspects of the game, but not here by any means.
EDIT: a character slot in DL costs the player $4.775 more than it does in PL/SL, and that's if they get the "best bargain" package.

Regarding the blah blah different Platinum curve blah blah.

Thanks in advance for keeping the feedback constructive.

I sincerely mean this in a constructive way. You're loosing your community fast, no sense in denying it. First thing you need to do to get them back is be man enough to admit that DL is all about STS making lots of money. There are so many objective differences with how you guys once started in PL. At least admit it or risk loosing not only the community's presence but also their respect.
