Wasted platinum (New moon item pack)

[ArtStar]

I too set my mind to this from the start. Haven't bought plat yet, but it would be nice though. lol I really like what you can get with it. I also like that my DL experience hasn't been tainted by the power of plat. I just capped two days ago :] told ya'll I'd take my time.

Time X effort > real life money.

100% agree. This reminds me of people who spent hundreds of plat to rush their characters to level cap in PL

But to be honest, people will be still buying if there are more new plat items available in the store.

I'm going to quote Airrie in this thread. He said it pretty well:

That post makes sense but you know, when you buy sports cards or toys from a machine, you can actually TRADE them or SELL them if you already have a double or if you simply don't want or need them.

In Dark Legends, you are stuck with items you don't need, and the only other option apart from letting them rot in your inventory is trashing them for 25 gold.

So basically, items that you get from the packs and already have or don't need have absolutely no value.

THAT, is a real problem.

[Prestige]

I actually don't mind the price nor the gamble. The thing that bugs me is the level lock. Why level lock platinum items? Some money savers would rather spend it later in the game when the level cap stops raising. Would be nice if they added an upgrade option...

I'm sticking to the drops from 3D missions and I'll be milking the 2x energy regen weekend for what it's worth.

^^ This, No PvP, will also not be purchasing ANY plat in DL.

(Guess I can handle looking like a "noob" until I have enough In Game Currency, than a new player with LOTSA monies)

You don't need the plat stuff: you got skills. Plat weapons and gems are to level the playing field for us, the elderly.

Lolol, maybe I could test these skills you talk about in a few PvP matches when I hit Cap (15k to go (;

Gonna become or already is? This pack is only 5 plat... And if players are spending 800 plat (which in DL RL currency is NOT cheap) are still not getting it, it is a gamble. No disrespect to Airrie, he's a cool as heck mod, but booster packs didn't cost this much before getting, using Pokemon as an ex., a cool AF holographic card. I remember forking over $10 of booster packs back in the day for a holo dragonite but still getting a cool holo raichu and zapdos instead. IMO, they need to raise the % of the desired item. DL plat is significantly more expensive than what we're used to from Pl/SL.

Actually when you buy cards there is more then 1 preset item that ppl are buying it for

[Ripper McGee]

I wasted 35 plat trying to get it, but at least 30 of the plat were free from winning the twitter contest this week! That being said, it wasn't a total loss, because I did actually get a pink beast gem that was a good overall upgrade for my stats! Woot!

It would be "funny" to see stores pull this kind of stuff.

I can imagine... Going to the store, handing the store clerk $60 for the new Max Payne, and in return, getting Sniper Elite v2 instead. You try again, and get Diablo 3 instead.

Of course, they would give you a warning beforehand that they are doing this kind of deal and that there is no option to purchase Max Payne straightforward. No harm, right?

Just a "funny" thought.

This does happen in stores every day, but with trading card packs sold to kids and collectors. It's not new, it's been happening for decades.

[Carth]

I know. I should of rather put, "It would be funny if stores did this with video games." That was my meaning.

[Ripper McGee]

Ahh, and you were being literal, too. Carry on then!

[Snakespeare]

I think there should a counter on the fails. If you don't get the premium item, it increments. Once you get it, it resets to zero. The devs can then decide (and tell us) that we'll get the item if the counter reaches X, where X is the amount of plat they think it is worth to buy upfront divided by the cost of the pack.So then you are gambling to get it for less, but you know you will get it after enough tries and there is a maximum amount it will come to.

It would reduce the load on support, too.

Isn't that a win-win?

I still have my garbage pale kids cards and the M.U.S.C.L.E. men too! LOL! My wife thinks I am crazy and a hoarder.

[xfrzen]

245 plat, 150 on heads men and nothing( understandable) 95 plats on the stupid necklace and nothing.... horrible.....

All of my M.U.S.C.L.E. men died in combat from a G.I. Joe clusterbomb made from Blackcats.
