jetpacks again?
So the jetpacks are back!? Though i didn't know y at first I found out it's because a sl app was released on chrome which is cool but I don't understand how the jetpacks got brought back it's neat but I was hoping for a new event like idk for a vanity pet.! So why did the jetpacks get brought back exactly?
SL: zombiemurder level 35 engineer skullkiller lvl 17 commando zombiedestroy lvl 3 operative PL: skullcrushed lvl8 archer
Because the devs wanted to
Because sl and pl are in chrome web store now
How did they get bought back? DotD?
I dunno but it seemed like a good way to unload the jetpacks i had till I saw they changed the quest to 150 kill instead of a thousand guess its back to making the new people happy again
I did not personally try to do this (I got my 1000 kill x3 set the first time and I was done) but I know several players that were actively trying to buy them up and corner the market. Given that I spent maybe an hour getting my second set (and the 30p silver price from yesterdays DoTD) I'd say they are now worth approximately 50 credits and speculators are highly annoyed. The chrome ones were fairly exclusive and now everyone has one, just like those annoying turkey/kitten pets..Originally Posted by roufus
I'm actually OK with all of this, nobody promised that those would be exclusive items and the chrome ones were always exploitable but non-tradeable...now if they start offering easy pink weapons/epic helms after the update that's another story, because those took waaay the heck more than 3000 kills to get.

...and on that note, bring on the free pets. I personally find all of them annoying as hell and as of the thanksgiving event/cat lady expansions they're no longer exclusive (500p vs 40p). At this point you may as well start offering them as door prizes.

I thought that was weird! I had a big jet Pack in less than an hour lol. I'm wondering if they brought it back to keep us busy until the update but you only need a total of 350 kills for them.. Which for a level 36 commando its not exactly challenging! Maybe the devs are trying to confuse us lol

I find this an ironic proposition. Very humorous but also quite pregnant with probing wisdom.
I for one would hope that they themselves are not confused regarding the 'facts on the ground' here in SL. Yes this game (i nod to pl as well) has given birth to a very prosperous business model, but i enjoy speculating as to the source of the majority of the real enthusiasm and material involvement :ahem:
I realize that SL is a mobile oriented platform, and this begets a certain set of commonly accepted truisms regarding the nature of people's interaction with the game. However, it is my suspicion and the central idea of this muse that this common wisdom is not what it seems.
I hope the management knows how i feel, and the majority of the excellent community- :sparrrkls: - nevertheless i for one am not in the crowd clamoring for equity here.

Yes, I'm guessing it was just a time passer. Something to keep us busy before Planet Volaria comes out.

Just making it easy on the newbies
It has nothing to do with newbies. Only has to do with PL coming out on Chrome. And only noobs call people noobs.
To all of those complaining that there are no 'exclusive' vanities left....welcome to what PL has been going through for months.
Just enjoy what you already have/had, and be happy for those who get to get it now seeing as it doesn't radically alter something like Founder's Helm in PL did for low-level PvP.
Complaining about it will get you nowhere and just make you look bad, if nothing else....it was a free jetpack, for crying out loud. It's not as if anyone paid plat for something 'exclusive' and now it's being offered again for less or for free and people might have a legit gripe. It should be pretty obvious that StS re-offers items repeatedly.
Peace out.

That's exactly what's happened buddy, Silver pack being given out for free, while others paid Plat for them as it was 'advertised' as an exclusive one time only deal. (excluding limited time only offer effects)
I went on PL not long ago and the sets you can buy for plat are ridiculous, I bet i missed a few discussions about them on PL side.

Sam's quote was on it somewhere. Trust me, it's a lost cause. Just know this, it releases for one day, everybody has it for a bit, then the popularity of it dies down again, thus become "exclusive".

Saw this in PL a while ago. That is why I chose to leave PL & stay on SL. I am not complaining by any means, just voicing my opinion. one of the factors in choosing to stay with SL was how much of a fresh start it was. I had x2 lvl 60's geared from Nuri's & left shortly after that. I would like to believe that STS can take opinions like these as constructive criticism & learn from it. I am but a humble gamer hoping that our Voiced Opinions matter.
Side note : Blast Shield was kind of rare. A lot of people miss out on DOTD offers at times & it wasnt a vanity you saw every one wearing until recently. Just seems to me that all the more exclusive offers you don't see often have all been offered with in a weeks span.

STS is a business, as we all know. STS wants people to stay interested in the game. STS realizes that if some people who love gear and vanities can't get certain fun stuff like Blast Shields, Chrome Jetpacks, Pumpkin Heads, Blue Antennas, that they tend to get frustrated or fade off which of course equals no plat being bought. I am not saying I personally care for 'exclusive' stuff being re-offered, quite the contrary (being the owner of the previously 'exclusive' Fiery Antennas in PL before they were DoTD). But we have to realize that everything that STS has mostly done as of late is making the game less hardcore (especially PL) and more casual, and kindler/happier/gentler as far as the availability of cool/fun/vanity items.
People are obviously buying a lot of the extras and DOTD....it would be stupid of them not to re-offer popular money-makers. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and no one is "wrong", but I think this is just gonna not gain any traction with them from a business perspective...in my (often wrong) opinion. Bowing out of this thread, have at it.
But at 150 kills a jetpack it kept us busy for a total of 5 minutes lol. Oh well, I have a cool jet Pack now lol.

its good for people to peel away from their grindings to level 36 and good for lower levels to enjoy. it's tough at the vular part for level 20+.
PL: Surfy (Deleted the game already) SL: Surfy Com, Meowy Ops, Gravelyn Engi, Warstorm Com DL: Surfy (Deleted the game already) AL: Surfie Sorcerer, Orpisai Warrior, Chiobuu Rogue
I was kinda sad to see the Jetpack Chrome event again. Sure its a chance for new comers to get some cool exclusive Vanities but from what I have seen on the DOTD for the past week, all the exclusive vanities are no longer. Blast Shield, RIVET, Silver Jet Pack... And now the event starts so Chrome Jetpack will be much more common as well.
The only 3 Exclusive Rare Vanities left in the game ( this is my opinion ) are
Mechanical Man Helmet
Squid Buddy
X-Ray Visors
The prices alone speak for themselves. The only non trade-able Vanity that may end up rare is the R.I.P. Apple released the day Steve Jobs passed away. I wouldn't be surprised if that poped up in the future either.
/shakes my head & has very high hopes for the next update
