Also I don't forget this is a business, but as I stated before, unbalance also brings financial problems to ED because it makes supporters quit because the game no longer offers a stable battle mode.

quote:

EVERYONE got a life, not all can farm those credits in a week, it would take them a lot of time, maybe more than a month and what if they don't have all weapons or armor? They won't stand a chance and won't be able to get such credits as easier as varium players can. You don't have to see it only from your perspective but from others also, life offers so many points of view so raising prices won't affect us good players, but what about recent players, or players still leveling up and without all the items needed for battle? What if they got few time to farm the credits and the current price are difficult for them? That's the flaw in your post, not everyone is in the same position as you.

quote:

I'm just saying that past 3 phases say otherwise.. <.< Also, it's not imbalance if Devs offered a way to upgrade weapon partially (either damage or stats) or maxing it out completely at higher cost. That is in NO way imbalance but lack of Credits, which you can farm and upgrade your item as you go along. If Credit items will be pitifully cheap, Varium will not be a good shortcut because Credits will be much better alternative, or rather the ratio will be really low that it won't be even worth being called a shortcut. As you said, this is business so Varium is MAIN source of profit. Credits are NOT.

quote:

You say hardcore players can afford to do it, but no more than 3% of all the players of ED are hardcore players which is few taking in mind not all of them are supporters. It won't have a great impact in ED, and unbalance made many players quit in Delta, the same will happen in Omega if they accept this type of ideas since few nonvariums will play and only varium players will remain, meaning that they would stop buying varium since they would have chances to compete without it. The logic of raising credit price is flawed. If hardcore players would be the majority I would accept your reply but it isn't.

quote:

The people who quit were non variums, those who don't support the game at all. Your argument is invalid.

will hardcore players buy varium when it gives no power advantage or no real speed advantage (not that thats enough to justify a hardcore player spending money when ulttimately they can get it free)?
hell no they wont when they can get it completely free in a couple of days

will a casual player buy varium ?
hell no why would they if their not playing much and it gives them absolutely 0 power advantage all they have to do is spend a hour or 2 farming when they are online and theyll get a full set in no time not to mention they can upgrade their basic gear to be as good as anything else.

the varium set up as it stands

are the none vars happy, ofcourse they are

are the variums, hell no

ill tell you something else the biggest online game of this era was city of heroes it shut down recently wanna know why cause it went from a p2p system to a system where what you previously had to pay for was all obtainable free.

and they had a far far larger player base it was the largest game in the world.
if they codnt make it profitable . what chance has ED got,city of heroes is now closed down

i hope ED back tracks fast before they meet the same fate

I'm saying there will be unbalance because if nonvariums can't afford credits, the gap will increase once again, making the gap grow between them and making less players try to compete, leading to varium ruling over nonvarium once again and that isn't the point of Omega at all! Credits cause unbalance indirectly but still it counts. Credits aren't that easy to get now so saying it is cheap isn't a good point because most weapons now at lvl cap costs more than 20k credits.

The varium profit wouldn't disappear because new special cores would appear, future tournament tickets and many other varium features that will improve varium profit.

quote:

@Trizz and final hour: you continue with that false fact that in few days you can get a full set? As said before, not all players are hardcore and even hardcore players take a break because being in the comp without sleeping or resting would cause you several damage to your eyes and body, and probably a death.
ok now to be more clear cause my obvious wasnt in my last post

quote:

@death

would u rather have to work a bit harder to get things for free. and face variums with a tiny in battle advantage . which by no means made them unkillable .

or

play a game that has no future?

quote:

@Trizz: try to farm 100k credits with npc. It would take you 100000/12= 8333 wins against any npc, do you really will fight all those battles? I think not. Not even hardcore players would take that challenge because it is useless, the smart players would rather risk themselves going in a true pvp fight and get more credits when losing that getting 12 miserable credits for beating npcs. You can only do missions once, and if you didn't notice, not all missions award a great amount of credits if their requirements aren't high.

quote:

i don't see how raising the credit price on used to be varium only items would be a bad thing.

quote:

when did i say a few days? i said a week to get full set, and 1-2 days to get a awesome looking varium item for credits. im already making more than 10k credits in the past hour due to mission reward and selling drops. credits are ridiculously easy to earn, most people say that its hard because they can't bear the thought of losing to someone once in a while to gain credits.

quote:

Another thing, if you knew that losing in a pvp fight is better than farming npcs, why did you suggest the idea? You're contradicting yourself.

quote:

its my suggestion for those who are afraid to ruing their records during the process of gaining credits

quote:

For all the reasons I have stated and you've ignored.

quote:

1week/7 days is few. In my early posts, I said looks don't count toward price... what counts is if they have special or if they were varium items in the past. Drops can't be counted now because they were removed. As for missions, once again I must repeat it: The missions that award high amounts of credits have high requirements, but how many missions award credits? From the new ones, I have only seen 4 which belong to the Yeti trainers and have a requirement of +150/+300 pvp wins. Missions can't be count as farming options since ED releases missions only when they are making a storyline/saga develop.

quote:

if you feel fine for varium to be useless then im fine with it because its only your opinion, but would you think the majority of varium users would agree? and im speaking here for the majority of them because i know what they think by reading their posts in the past.
