I sy this game is becoming a pay towin game a little bit. Reasons to get coll vanities, specail chest, good elixirs, specail pets, opening locked chest, leprechaun amulet, and other ingsomse. Everyone can't do offers or buy platinum. This might drive me to quit if something isn't changed a little bit or added.

You don't NEED any of that, this game can be enjoyed without any of that. It's just a way for the people who invest so much time and energy into this game to get a little reward and payment themselves....it's quite fair to be honest. It is a FREE game after all...

, my two cents....

Only platinum exclusive pets you can't buy in auction. Leprechaun, vanities, etc can be bought for gold. This is far from a pay to win game.

Yes, let's be realistic here... If you want to compete for the leaderboards and be really good, you are going to need to spend some plat. But not very much, just some. But you obviously spent some money on your device (your android or apple device wasn't free), and you spend some money on your internet connection (or do you play using public wi-fi??). If this was any other game on a playstation or xbox, you would have to pay for it. So why is that not fair here?

But to be realistic, not much plat is needed to be successful. You certainly don't have to open any crates. I've opened over 200 crates and got all junk, and yet I'm still on the leaderboards. Vanities make you look nice, but don't affect your ability to perform in the game. Luck Pendant can be purchased in the auction for gold. I'd say the only thing you would need some plat for is for elixirs, and the occasional pet (a few plat pets are needed for the beastmaster title). Perhaps even a mythic pet for 250 plat or spend 150 plat on the luck amulet, if you want the mythic title. So we are probably talking less than $50 worth of plat here, and that would give you enough to be successful in this game for probably a year. I don't think that's unreasonable.

Otherwise you can just play for free, but don't expect to be the best or be on the leaderboards. There has to be some incentive for players to spend real money. STG is not a charity.

You don't need to spend money to play Arcane Legends at all.
The game is free but buying platinum help makes your gameplay a whole lot easier and better.
Crates aren't needed but can make you rich or poor in a few seconds.

Well i hv 5 slots mythic in my main char, and I have a lot of friends who equip legendary gears. I helped them in elite shuyal maps and realized the huge different from when I was in pt with mythic people. Imo, without mythic gears, they are painful to run elite shuyal map, pots consumption, death count, time consumption. Many of them dont even step into any elite maps.

I know the rule, if you pay you will get your reward, but I just feel the the big gap in al soceity: upper class, middle class, high class, just like irl.

I haven't spend a single dime, yet I was two seasons on the leaderboards, have mythic gun, armor and helm and I'm leading a guild. None of that required plat.

But if you think you need some: There are free plat options you dont need a certain device for.

So: NO money required, not even for beeing competitive for the leaderboards or getting myth-equipment.

Its an add free game. They need to make money somehow.

Other than the ability to purchase certain plat exclusive pets, plat just saves you time and nothing else. So like many have done, just do a couple of free plat offers to get enough to purchase the few plat exclusive pets, and then no need for plat after that. You just have to play often enough and put in the time. There is no get rich quick scheme other than gambling with locked crates, and as you will see tons of threads here of people complaining "I opened 500 crates and got no mythics or arcanes!", there is no guarantee.

I think STS has done a great job in finding a balance between the f2p and p2w win model that makes 90% of the playing population happy with what they can achieve for little to no money.

- You have an ENTIRE quest based game that you can run start to finish without spending money. Either solo or in parties.

-You have a CENTRAL Auction House that you can sell your goods on for a nominal fee, OR you can sell at the various outposts convenient to each major quest area.

- You have a CHANCE at free eggs, elixers and potions every 8 and 24 hours that give you the benefit of plat only items for free. AND for the same duration.

- You can buy just about everything for Gold for exception of Platinum exclusive Pets, but there is already over 50 free pets that you can get in game for free.

-You can still find MYTHIC and ARCANE items in free to open crates.

- There are a variety of gaming options and challenges for every level of the game. Don't want to PvP at level cap and have to use mythic/arcane items to compete? Fine, make a low lvl twink and battle with readily available pink items you can get for free.

- Vanity Items are just that, Vanities that you dont need to play the game, but you can STILL buy it for free.

Its business as well.. Of course devs and the whole team needs salary.. We cant blame STS for this.. Come to think of its free, u can play u want but dont expect to be same as others who spends alot in this game.. I see some non plat users having their mythics, they have done it through elite farming.. So do some farming, locked crates is easier to farm, just run in mines with ur luck ammy, nd with d help of free elix.. Booom! Ur instant millionaire! Just enjoy d game :)

I found that hard to read but anyways, how on earth does your IPad run Arcane Legends. At most like 5fps? Also if you never sell items, start. Even with little things you'll eventually start making a decent profit...

Someone will, what level are you. Because lvl 25+ gear is where it's starts getting valuable. Try getting Legendaries and paying attention to their worth in the auctions. Then when u feel the prices are high, put yours up for average price (it'll seem low in comparison) and people will buy. Or you can always price your gear at equally high prices... your choice. I recommend you upgrade your tech though if possible. Hope I helped a little bit at least :)

That's the problem with the economy; not you. Nobody buys any items.

Truth is, iOS has way more offers than Android, and without the 70 plat bundle, I'd be quite unhappy with the game. 1 auction slot, 25 inventory slots? Oh my. Bad memories.

yeah this is very bad only 1 auction slot LOL maybe if u have 10 auction slot if good if u wanna ''upgrade'' u can do it.

but the game force u to buy Platinum all the time..

if u want to get ''auction AP/achivement'' u need buy plat..

list 10 items at the same time.. and u only have 1 slot LOL.. 1 slot = 10 plat?? Lol? 10 slot 75 plat? expensive i think.!

And theres the point , i have wasted plat ,a lot of plat
For what? I just have myth armor and helmet but no myth weapon or arcane maul ,
Btw i think i have spent about 9k plat..
Theres no better chance to get good stuff if u wasting plat,in my eyes

I just dont go for good stuff, I just enjoy running the dungeons and following the path from start to end, play and talk with other players and enjoy all that.
Guess buying plat depends on what your goal with the game is....

Lol people make me laugh. Honestly would you complain if you had to buy a game for Xbox or ps? There were also these places when i was young called arcades where spending $20 for an afternoon of playing was common.

This game is free. You can get anything in the game besides a few pets by just farming crates and selling them.

Normally i would say app games are not worth purchase but this one is. All you really need is the bundle pack for auction an inventory slots and that will cost around $15. The pets like slag aren't necessary to play and enjoy the game.

Xz21 you are also in a country where free offers don't work. I was able to buy Clyde, slag and the bundle pack with free offers where I live so I never found paying necessary.

Lol insulting ;) u are a good user man u need insult the user for talk great!

well u can buy ur ''bundle'' me and people of this region can't..

20$ no thanks i prefer garden warfare.

the game is ''free To Play'' yeah but no free for all stuff

and yes slag and mytic pets are necesary for get a great pvp.

i can do good pvp with my 10k pets but really u get good skills from mytic pets.

but is my opinion u can respect it ;) Oh no sorry u need insult me for my opinion!

Wutzgood
10-17-2013, 01:45 PM
I'm not insulting you but you have posted this same thing in so many topics I had to respond. The only thing you need platinum for is bundle pack for inventory/auction slots. The pets are not necessary to do well in pvp and the better arcane versions of them are available to buy in auction anyway. Even spending alot of real cash doesn't guarantee you will be better that those who don't.

I've noticed that you're a rogue. Honestly, a Malison is 10x better than a slag, IMO

There is no such thing as a free lunch. If u dun want to buy plat n u r left behind guess wat.. tough. I've spent a lot of plat n it definitely helps. If u can't stand being left behind 3 options.

1 quit
2 join the plat users..
3 whine so more...

See u do have options ...

I said before I have an iPad 1 it wont let me update ios from 5.1.1 for some reason if it can't i don't know. and i said i can't do most trialplay platinum offers and i am a kid so i really can't buy platinum.( I know I actually could but not enough to benefit me)

yeah it wont let you because ipad 1 wont be able to keep up with latest ios version not with just 256mb of ram and outdated processor im surpised you can still play without lag problems. anyhoo, like the rest has been saying plats makes your arlor life easier but personally it feels so much better when your hard farming and little bit of noobish merching pays off in the end seeing your mythics compared to getting it big time on a locked crate. On the other hand, the p2w aspect of this game is essential to give us better support. ofc delphina needs facial wash every night before going to bed ergo open some more crates people.
