"Headsman" Trashing Out the Previous Plat Weapons

However, if you really do want the best items, you have to purchase them.

Apologies, but this is the MOST ridicule comment I have ever heard.

Do not want to outstay my welcome already, but can't believe this just come from an StS employee.

All the best gear in game, in ANY game, should be from hard work, not pitching into your pockets. Looks.. fair enough, if you want awesome Vanity and looking cool/sick then that should be purchased.. not "best items = purchase them".

All I will say on the matter.

I CAN FEEL IT COMING.

I have no problem purchasing weapons but that's not what a random plat pack is. Purchasing only gives u a chance at getting "better" items.
So how much r they really worth? Imo random chances r costing too much, and after ppl spend butt loads of plat on "newest" pack just to have their purchases abruptly outdated.... I mean ouch my wallets getting its blood drained ^^^;-;^^^

It WAS unusually blunt and dismissive.

@Skeo I got used to the random packs in SL, im one of the players that usually has to have every new possible vanity (No stat boosters though). This subject in general on the other hand is not worth my time.

I know StS are trying to kill off the "hardcore" side of all their current games and make it a fully "casual" gamers franchise, this just seems the wrong way to go about it. At least a Cap Weapon should be introduced with a crazy low probability drop rate for some of the more "hardcore members" as they are still present in these franchises too.

If they were to make all top gear in PL/SL Plat purchases (Hoping that's not the case atm) their wouldn't be many loyal players in the game what-so ever, and they know it.

Ayo Bod you can edit the text in your sig now...I mean I'm not against the Legend part though By all means keep that

[BodMaster]

Lol good catch, always on the ball!! Hopefully get another legendary sig, if only i can think up something i want tho

[Flowman]

Take your time, I'm working very slowly...slower than usual. I must have started Frzen's signature over about 5 times already. He's got "reserved for Flowman" in his sig right now...so I feel bad making him wait this long lol

[BodMaster]

Haha an artist at work, never rushs, ateast until the eye of the beholder reaches its perfection.

Sure you will not disappoint, and more than that im looking forward to seeing your own new sig

Personally I don't think having plat gear being the "better gear " is the way to go, especially in DL bc it has a huge potential to build a loyal PvP community, and that move would leave non-plat players at a huge disadvantage.

So, maybe a question for the devs:
Please define how these weapons r going to be different than drops, like their advantages and disadvantages?

Thx

Actually I am ok with best weapons being sold as long as it is consistent and remains that way. It's when they change the spec on weapons after purchases (be it raise the free weapons or lower the paid-for weapons) that I start having an issue.

Consistency is what really matters to me.

Consistency is what really matters to me.

I have to admit and agree w/ u here; that truly consistency is the key, releasing the "best" and shortly after releasing "better "

I think it'd be best if plat was reserved for microtransactions for vanities and conveniences, not in-game advantages.

I'm sure more people would be cool with platinum buying vanity weapons, auras, clothes and the like than actual "ultimate" weapons. Especially since everything scales with levels so it's more like you're paying to "rent" something for a few levels except the fee is non-refundable and the landlord isn't returning your deposit. (I hate when they do that.)

This...I agree, have a realistic chance of actually getting the "ultimate weapon."

Was suggesting a "20% chance" on the first pack buy and additional "20%" chance on the subsequent pack buy so maximum spending for a plat weapon will cap at 5 packs. Anybody who got it before 5 packs would be consider lucky. How's that sound?

Or like Nassar says, no "plat ultimate weapon", only cosmetic vanities for a customized individual look.

Seriously, with only lvl 20 lootable pink weapons available in the game only, PvP would be a a tad more interesting with different stats from Assault/Protection/Vitality & different procs like fire/ice/knock-down. But too bad, that fantasy part of PvP now resides in a parallel world.

Cheers!

Yes Ripper, in an upcoming expansion, we plan to have 2H weapons dropped by bosses. We really do try to make our players happy and offer as much as we can. However, if you really do want the best items, you have to purchase them.

we don't have a problem with that, just make them purchasable straight up not in gamble packs. gamble packs are quickly becoming DL's version of PL elixirs. If you want the weapons to cost 75 plat or whatever just put them in the plat store.

Which isn't needed.. why put something up for Premium Currency, that you can't even acquire in the game alone? If they added items like this in PL/SL they would get crucified.

The only solution is, stop patronizing these packs.

Obviously, for STS, they don't see this as a wrong. They probably think "okay, let's just weather the initial backlash. Eventually, people will get tired of complaining and just take it as it is. "

Me personally, i'm not buying any of these gamble packs. Yes i will buy vanities, with plat even. But i won't buy the "chance" to get something.

Re: a mod saying buying these packs always results in positive result, unlike gambling which can give a negative result, i disagree. Just because you get "something" in return for your money, it does not mean it's always positive. At best, these junk items are a neutral to majority of the people.
