The true Price of Gear Slots

Well you mentioned and it made me look for a bard like outfit with trash stats lol

Take Elden Ring for example.

You dont need to pay for horse.

Or to level up

Or to explore a special part of the map.

They delivered a complete product for full price, and after they expand said product they will charge again.

Now lets take a look at new world.

Would you pay for the sotrages to be linked? No.

Did ags charge for them? No. Why? Cause its a core game feature.

Then why gear sets arent free?

Its not like the game wants you to hoard sets, with each profession/refining/activity/ward right?

Oh wait, now they want you to bring more then 1 set per expedition. Isnt it convenient that they increase the ammout of bane sets as they plan to charge for gear sets?

But since different gear sets are “needed” for a few end game expeditions isnt it right to assume that changing gear is also a core “mechanic” now?

You can go to a restaurant, they prepare the meal and drop it on your table. Want cuttelary or a plate? Pay more.

Do you see the problem now?

Again, in dont care if they make money, I even want to pay them to make the game better. But I dont want to be disrespected.

Having multiple sets is a bug part of the game, since you should level one character. But selling the gear slots is low, diablo immortal level of low.

So you’re comparing a single player or up to three player co-op game to an MMO?
Okay, you can compare apples and oranges, they are both fruit.
Let’s compare it then.

I don’t have to pay extra for all that in New World either. You can compare the horse in New World with the fast travel points, which are also included for free as far as I know.

Even the gearset storage system, which is criticized here, has simply been added for free, the only limit being the 2+1 free slots versus the up to 6 more for a fee.

Yes, up to two should be enough for one expedition, you have 2+1 free slots, then save your gear for the expedition in the three slots. If you want to do another expedition you have to save your other gear items as sets for 2 minutes before.

Yes, that’s why there’s the free Gearset Storage System with 2+1 free slots.

Wow, the argument takes my breath away.
You’re comparing the 6 optional slots (30 USD) that are pure convenience to the monetization of Diablo Immortal. A game that is the definition of pay to win and without paying you have basically no chance to be among the top players.
So in your opinion, the 6 extra pay to win slots give you an incredible gameplay advantage over people who only have the 3 free slots?

unnecessary

???

unnecessary

XD

ye, and you don’t need gear slot for all of those sets

It’s convivence not necessary, players have played the game for this long. They are not necessary at all

Honestly not even needed. I tried getting a bunch yesterday and it seems capped at 9 sets.

It is more of a hassle to have all those tabs really. Easier to have all your crafting sets in resource bank like I have, and use gear sets for your primary builds and plan builds. Very cool for planning and building builds, to see what you miss!

for the moment i used only gear slots for pvp and ward

i keep in my inventory everything easy to search like woodworker, smelter etc…

Dont cast pearls towards swine.

Since you dont see a problem why bother to reason?

You think this monetization is scceptable go ahead, help ags and the industry to focus on how to use psycology to engage addictive behaviour against us gamers.

I once saw4 performers , each dressed in a different single colour, performing , like the wiggles

You can really push things too far.
So just because I think it’s okay the way it is, I’m not allowed to express my opinion here?

You are.

But since you insist on saying 2+1 gear slots is fine and im comparing orange and apples why should I bother to engage in discussion?

I have better things to do with my time.

Check out the premium track, it has gauranteed legendary drops. So far i havent seen one in the free track.

Ita a lootbox in a pretty dress.

You are absolutely right, a discussion with someone who does not allow any other opinions and compares apples with oranges makes no sense.

First, i have* no power to allow or not allow something, grow up.

Second comparing Orange and apples was your assumption which Im too lazy to waste time and elaborate cause you are clearly in need of confrontation so yeah, not gonna waste my time.

Stop playing the all knowing victim card, it makes you look pitifull.

Anyway, have fun talking to yourself.

it’s a one-time buy, as buy entire pass that can only buy once, along with much other rewards, not to mention that you have to do some in-game activites in order to be eligable to claim rewards. it’s not something than you can drown your money in endlessly awaiting for some kind of return

You really respect other opinions, so much about growing up.

So comparing a single player game that has no server infrastructure to an MMO is normal.

This is what diablo immortal did to hide the lootbox.

For now since

But every journey start at the first step. Dont get me wrong, I hope im wrong.

But when QoL are behind paywall and playerbase endorse it, its just a matter of time. Companies need profit.

Will they go vegan after tasting juicy meat? I dont think so, but thats just my opinion I can be wrong after all.

Actually, it’s nearly 300% price of the game.

$40 x 3 = $120

Or if you want to use more, it’s nearly 200% more than the price of the game if you wish to disclude the difference between the game cost ane the overall cost.

Crazy right?

I see your point and you make some pretty good spot lights in gear sets and big storage.

Yet I still believe we should have as many slots as we are willing to cash out for. Make bundles of that would cut the slot prices to 2.50 which I would completely support.

People are already using the slots to stash thousands of food items into them saving 100s if not possible thousands in weight.

I wouldn’t just like to hear where there train of thoughts are on the item slots other than people wanted them.

What is AGS over head view on the system and how do they see the design intended view.
