Most games made profit from customization option, we all know that, we all know what i meant by what i said.

I’m sorry, but no, by what you intially wrote you implied that paying a lot of money for content is the norm or at least that’s how your post is written/perceived by me.

I can eat for that money a whole week like a lord himself but still consider it not too much for a monthly spending on something you truly like. But most people know you can’t buy a cca 100$ destro for 20$ bundle tryout, kinda too ambitious.

Yet you said people are on edge because of $20-40, when even if you want only 1 destroyer it’s even more than that. You’re kind of making my point for me, haha. ^^

Well, at least you got a base number of sure drops, from that point on if you want to buy something i’m assuming you’re smart enough to make the rest of the calculations yourself and see that it is similar to 100-300$ worth of “cool” items in every other game selling anything extra for the game.

If you consider generic resources ‘‘cool items’’, i think we wont see eye to eye. The resources will allow me to craft modules/ships, but the resources themselves isn’t why people are buying bundles and the resources themselves aren’t worth $100-300 (subjective).

Yeah, it’s a sad truth. Star conflict premiums and stuff now cost A LOT. 

 

Both r11 desie and brokk costed me 23k GS each under 40% reduction. considering I already had some parts, it’s 150$ a single ship. 

And r14 destroyers cost 2 times this amount. 

 

That’s a HUGE amount of money.

For this amount, you can get so much skins in LOL or eat for a month. 

^This.

The point is, we all know the actual price of ships and there’s just the cringe factor when someone goes like “20 bux and i got nothing”.

This i can agree on, i’m a firm believer in taking responsibility for everything you do, including purchases you make. You can dislike or like a business model, but don’t spend money on something to than complain about it afterwards even though you got exactly what you paid for.

Price Match Guarantee. Let’s see free to play, space shooter genre. Hm. Star Citizen qualifies (you can get a free account). Now, how much I need for the dogfighter? The Gladius comes to mind - $108. 

Ok, sorry for OT - I just couldn’t resist :wink:

well i just what to get some offical answer to make sure that will the T5 destroyers been add into the newyear discount…

but…for ur example…why u guys always choose the most expensive one…yes i mean Star Citizen, it is not a good example really, because it’s the most expensive one…

or you can say that i’m not a real fun for star citizen, i won’t pay thousands dollars for a JPG…ok this is kind of too exaggerating, but i have played some many different science fiction game, and the star citizen is the most expensive one…

what about some other games for example, like Elite: Dangerous —less than $100 for whole year, or mechwarrior online —$70 per month include all new mechs, stuffs and VIP for month.

Scammed Citizen was the biggest let down for me. I think most will can agree that game is gonna stay stagnant for at least another year or 2. This game is nowhere on par with the play style of eve or what scammed citizen wants to be. This is an arena battle style game. It’s Not in the same league. So the pricing should not be either. I agree with you on this front. Not a fair comparison.

I think most would agree the prices of everything have become way out of hand in Star Conflict. The deception of the bundles 1-3 payout for enriched whatever has a lot of us enraged. 1215 gold on sale for one enriched piece when you need a few dozen is insane, Especially when you consider you need that much of several resources. I keep making dumb decisions to try to pay to progress, but when I blow $50 and still less than half way there, and I have done extensive grinding. I got that gold when the gold was on sale. Its just a huge kick below the belt.

Some can say maybe I am just unlucky, but I truly feel my loot and bundle odds have been reduced due to conflicts.

 

The 2 replies above me have my upvotes. ![:)](<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/001j.png “:)”)

The biggest problem with me about pricing is that it’s not constant.

An extremely lucky player can get 12 enriched berrylium per container, while some can get only one every 5 containers.

While nobody will never ever win 12 enriched at once (Or screen, I want proof), it doesn’t change the fact that for some players, the price is higher then others.

 

 

Okey, random containers isn’t a problem in itself. Many, many games have something similar.

BUT these games have also an alternative fixed price  AND  these random boxes always give something interesting (even if it’s not always what you want).

In SC, we have none of above.

 

Why don’t we have something similar to vouchers upgrade for any kind of resources ? You miss something ? Pay $GS_Price_Unit_Component$ * $Number_Needed$

Then give both raw berry and neo and electrum a value of 80 gs (same for all because higher destroyers need more), which makes enriched/plates at 800 GS each and 960 for elec thing, so a fixed 42k GS for a r11 destroyer.

42k is around what it cost right now, so players have the possibility to test their luck to get it for cheaper (or more), or get it for a fixed price.

 

And do the same for monocrystal, iridium, live crystal and components. 

So everybody will be happy.

185

Alright losers,any of you know by how much the rewards increased?

186

By 0% Wow !

 

But I wonder if it’s not the A.Gage reward that have increased. We’ll see in 3 hours.

By that time I’ll arrive back home…

188

The thing is:
315 electrum before table update - eh nerf.
275 after. So now we need 720. That’s over 2.5x the time needed.
And don’t forgot: We already have over 10+ days done!
So we are at ~180 or so left. Now do the math.
Even if they increase electrum by 4x+, I don’t think I get the berry in time…
I’m really diappointed by this fufu move.

189

Waiting for a patch note.

@Lord_Xenon

Well, to be honest, even if you miss all Destroyers now, they will be available later.

You will most likely get your 40% discount on Electrum containers in the next 2 weeks, so that you will able to account for the losses.

 

My focus shifted only on prioritizing on one Destroyer now, while still having enough resources for the special one.

Obtaining everything at once is not a smart move. It’s too expensive for now!

 

191

People getting the chance to attain at least one r14 destro for absolute free (because we have 2 moths to go after this one) and yet the problem is why cant we get it NAO. As if changes happen over night. It would make sense when you get to new years eve and see u need one more part and you did all the dailies but all you can do by that point is buy the remaining one because its not farmable, then it would be fair to call it a scam because it forces you to buy something out of frustration. The only frustration now is the collectors frustration.

192

Btw why does iri mission don’t actually give it? I did 4 of them and I get nothing :confused:

Some sense on for a change, im shocked ![:00:](<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/00.png “:00:”)

Its easier to get a R14 dess with little effort using the available missions than to pick up any R7+ premium with ship parts using the same methods. But nobody complains bout them its all about getting a dess.

This is ofc assuming that the missions last but either way a ‘player’ is still closer every day they play (or push a couple of buttons) to a dess than any of the premiums. Also i wonder how many of the players complaining are actually interested in a fed destroyer? As the rest not here yet there are many complaints about gathering materials for a ship which does not exist, sounds like a false arguement to me. From what iv seen in pvp most Sirius (Siriuses?) are piloted by players with more money/gs than sense so im pretty glad it looks unattainable to some. Nobody enjoys destroyer filled games so i cant wrap my head around the rush for some to get them. Oh yeah greed and the answer to some ppls problems in pvp.

Anyway holding out for the Jeri one, dont like the look of the fed one ![:004j:](<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/004j.png “:004j:”)

Well to make a quick summary for this news, I decided to write everything here in one post ![:)](<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/001j.png “:)”)

  • Information about new rewards for event missions will be soon. It’s calculating at the moment;
  • Resources for r8 and r11 destroyers now can be gathered in a sufficient amount in order to have time and craft the ship itself. In addition, Promotions and events will greatly help and give the possibility for obtaining additional resources;
  • There’ll be missions when Jericho destroyer will come, and for Empire one as well;
  • Each of r14 destroyers will be available for a limited time. At the end of each term the destroyer will not be available for the craft, but it will be possible to re-equip with slots, if it is already manufactured;
  • When there be an opportunity to craft r14 destroyer ever again in the future - is unknown.

No update, no mention when they will be available again and no promise that we get enough resources by normal farming to manufacture Sirius.

Don’t need to tell my real feelings about this or?

Do you mean only enough Electrum, Beryllium, and Neodium or do we have also enough time to collect enough Monocrystals, since to get enough Mono’s with the current Drop rate you would need more then 2month…

Same deal as always. Hover the mouse over the mission and you will notice what you are missing.
