I see your point, but I mean gear slots are a convenience. They aren’t required to play the game; we have been dealing with it without gear slots. Yes, it’s a pain, and I wish we had gotten more for free. But charging for the convenience of saving a little time swapping equipment for different activities doesn’t seem egregious or gouging like some are making it out to be.
Will I buy them? No, but if it was important to me, $5-$20 for a convenience feature in a game that is putting out free content years after release doesn’t seem terrible. We all have different opinions and perspectives, but if this enables the AGS team to continue putting out content for free, then I’m all for it.
I don’t expect it to be free. I would gladly pay a monthly fee or fees for expansions or cosmetic battle passes. My core point is that it is wrong to monetize the removal of annoyance. It is wrong to design a game in a way that inconveniences your audience and then charge them to remove that inconvenience. It’s a bad thing for gamers and it leads to bad games.
Its sad that they charge from new slots without leave another option, theres no way to farma ou get these slots beeing free, and R$16,99 per slot is pretty expensive.
They could have just made a couple really nice skins to sell in the store for once, then fixed their gear bloat issue they created with free loadouts. It is almost the same as charging you to fix an in-game bug so it doesn’t effect you. Can’t wait to see what they are charging you all for next season. This is just the beginning.
I think 2 loadouts to start with is slim with this style of game. I think 5 or 6 would of made more sense then they can sell all they want and I don’t have a problem with it. The max should be raised too, what is it like 9 max loadouts? Double it at least
You’re right. Skins however are potentially less lucrative. Not everyone has the same taste and is willing to pay for skins. An in game QoL design such as this, does guarantee more money, and is cheaper to produce lol. They’re smart.
This is a famous quote.
I bought the gear sets and paid to unlock level 100 on the pass because all of the extra time spent moving and re-equiping gear can be spent playing the game. I don’t have a lot of free time and I make 30x the cost of a gearset in an hour.
I get where you’re going at, but the time saved to cost ratio doesn’t justify not spending it unless you’re literally below the poverty line and then you’ve likely got financial issues and your worries should be bigger than anything new world.
Eh lol skins are some of the easiets things to create and are super lucrative for almost all games since the advent of f2p…ags is just being stupid with their “design philosophy” and its directly affecting their poor sales in that area.
Gear slots on the other hand seem far more intricate to do as the code in this game leaves to be desired in how these gear slots work which is why the low max limit.
People are making such a stuff out around these gear slots… I’ve been playing since 2021, and i never had a struggle managing my loadout, and I don’t seek for salvation in gear sets. And if you think you REALLY need gear set to put your smelter set in there, I think you are making the stuff up
