How many of you are willing to

Ethelinde · 01-18-2008, 01:16 PM

Pay 500% more for a cash shop items if they were to be permanent? maybe 1000% more? Personally I would pay that much for a critical devil dress simply for the reason of it being mine... to have to pay a monthly fee and have my item expire simply feels too inconvenient and of a sense of "renting" imo. Outspark can still make money from consumable items like extenders and teva, and most likely players will be more willing to spend on those if their costumes are permanent. Any thoughts?

Tough one. But, if you think about it, the item could be made permanent and then that way you can change them out when you get tired of them. However, I do think it would be a bit unfair to have the costumes with crit bonuses as permanent. As much as I LOVE the crit rate, I think it would be unfair.

UNFAIR @_@, for who?

500% yes i would pay
1000% no i would not pay

THAT would mean buying suits fro around 10 months worth and GOD knows i wont' be playing this game that long from now on

Also it would kinda suck not to be able to change the colors from time to time

It would be unfair to the kids that play that cannot buy anything from CS. Trust me, I am all for the CS, but having the extra crit is giving me an advantage over the ones that cannot pay for a costume with crit. However, it is only temporary and then I am back to the same level as they are. If it was permenant, then I would always have the advantage.

Or something like that... it all sounded good in my head, until I started trying to explain it.

Far as customs go permanent options would be nice and mounts... but things that add to stats should be temporary, cause really not everyone can afford CS items. Yeah and I probably would buy more things like pots or extenders if mounts or customs was not a thing needing to be paid for monthly to keep them. I doubt though we will ever see permanent items in this version of fiesta.

Well spirit it all depends, cuz right now i have stocked on critical santa suits and hats for 5 months therefore i will have the adv for another 5 months anyways, and when that runs out i'll buy other critted suits =P, therefore as far as i'm concerned mine is kinda permanent anyways

BUT WHAT I'D really love is to find an item ONLY FOR ME that gives 500 to each stat

, than i would pawn everyone

, BUT NEVER AS AN AGGRESOR BUT AS A DEFENDER (protector of the weak) THE LIFE OF A HERO

Depends =/ In BK, you can buy permanent ones, and you can sell them too.

I think you ought to be able to buy "permanent" items w/ a level cap. Once you pass the threshold level, the item expires. Im a CS user and i sorta like the variety of things expiring after a while. I got pretty sick of the workout suit after 30 days. fun While it lasted, but good night, i was ready to see what my l40 armors looked like.

If i bought a special wep or armor or something, and it didnt exire until i leveled to the next level, then i wouldn't feel like i was wasting my money b/c i dont play much during the week. I could enjoy the item on MY schedule, not on OUTSPARK's schedule.

so, no i wouldn't pay extra for a permanent item b/c i'd surely get sick of it. and variety is the spice of life.

But, if they made them permenant, then you could change them out when you got tired of them and put them back on later to give you more variety.

Good point, i guess i dont know HOW they work. If i bought a wep that was intended for a lvl40 mage, why would i want to go back to it once i had leveled to 50? Or are the weapons strictly bonuses. For example, the workout suit added bonus crits on top of my regular mage armor?

Edit: Spirit i just rep'd you and you got your third green nugget. it actually works!
