 Any arguing or unconstructive criticism is not appreciated. Please be respectful to others or I will ask for this thread to be locked.


My suggestion is for there to be random discounts on certain features on certain days, such as switching to a specific class, name changes, creating a faction, alignment change, etc.

long as the developers tell us about the discounts long before they happen! i remember, one night i nearly bought something to download but then decided to do it in a different month, and when I did, taking me completely by surprise, it was half-priced to celebrate an upcoming western release for the third chapter. imagine how awful people would feel if they missed the generous prices. the discounts will reignite some excitement for epic duelers, and why not, they're credits, so I agree.

 Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the most popular days for discounts. IIRC, we have never had these events in ED. Most other AE games partake in this (though AQC is the only one that does discounts rather than painting items black or pink or splitting them in half like DF and AQW do) so I don't see why ED should be excluded.

But discounts on certain days if not just Black Friday and Cyber Monday is fine by me as well. Supported.

There's also Small Business Saturday, but let's be honest, no one has ever heard of that holiday.

 Thanks for the replys.

And thanks for the support too. Items, to me, just seem very expensive in this game.

I agree TBK, I think prices in general have to be lowered. For example dread desolator costs 1265 varium. A 10k package costs $50, making this weapon cost over $6. This is for a single weapon, if you have full varium gear you can easily go above $20. Credit prices in my opinion should also be lowered. It takes 7500 experience to go up a rank. You get around 3.08x the amount of credits per experience level which will get you around 23100 credits per rank. You spend 15k on your rank upgrade and end up with 8100 afterwards. You would have to rank up 3 times and be around 2/3 of the way to your next rank up to buy ONLY the dread desolator with credits. And don't forget the core that costs 6k that you have to buy separately each time.

But I really like your idea, its definitely a step in the right direction. Class Change Wednesdays or New Faction Fridays for example would be a great start to making the game more enjoyable for casual players or people who don't want to or can't shell out a ton of money.

The credit prices inflation was due to the gifting events. Players earned millions of credits, devs introduced credits-sink cheevos but that didn't cut it, so they inflated returning seasonal prices. The winter promo (The auxiliary for instance was sold for 56k credits. http://epicduelwiki.com/w/Frozen_Fury_Annihilator_E). And there was also the endless shop, which was unlocked for 250k credits (In the past, now due to reasons shown down below, a secondary way to unlock the shop was introduced).
As for how much credits you earn per rank. Well, you gave standerdized numbers. A player who gets 37 credits/12 exp. You can't really forget power hours, power weekends, NPCs (botting or farming and god how many players ranked up thanks to that, and you might actually be talking to few here).

I didn't support the idea of inflating prices of weapons, because there are many new players and already existent players who weren't present in the gifting event. So new players were fighting alts of some players who were persent in the gifting, so they managed to get load of credits and buy full fury set which costed a minimum of 200k credits, plus the endless armor which costs a minimum 100k credits. Ofcourse any new player or veteran coming back will be demoralized by this.

Discounts are viable for weapons that are always available in shop. But who is really interested in those? Weapons that are worth to get are those with cores, and most of these are either in LQSs or seasonals. Now discounts usually occur for short period of times, but these weapons also return for a short period of time. The solution I think is lowering the costs of seasonal weapons altogether. Or deciding prices according to the level of player and how many credits that player has.

I'd argue that rewards need to be buffed. The idea that in 1v1 40v40 matches receive the same exp/cred as 1v1 is silly lol
