"Here is an example template you may go by"

-What do generally think about Varium?

quote:

I think Varium is a much better way to control game currency than membership. In EpicDuel you can buy an amount of Varium and wait for months and still have the same nice little pocket sum of currency from before. I have experienced both pros and cons of Varium, though. One pro is being able to afford optimal gear at lower costs so grinding is less of an issue. One con would be the imbalance of F2P to P2P gear. Although we are improving, F2P may not compete as efficiently with others as someone who is P2P. The stat differences are smaller now, yes, but I think we can go beyond that.


-What do you think Varium should do?

quote:

I think Varium should allow a player to enjoy fun features as opposed to solely benefiting PvP with items. There is always the option to introduce fun, exclusive, and new features that would benefit EpicDuel as a whole. An example that I can think of would be designing "skins" that cost Varium. Skins would be for aesthetic purposes only and cost Varium. They do not influence PvP but may increase the enjoyment in player-to-player interaction.


-What do you think Varium should NOT do?

quote:

I mainly think that Varium should not allow players to overshadow fellow players because of a gamer's philosophy of pay-to-win. A game is to be enjoyed, it should be a terms of play-to-win. Currently with Varium there is an abundance of combat advantage when it comes to the specifics: affordability, stats, and damage/armour. This is not pleasant.


-Is there anything confusing or discouraging about Varium?

quote:

PvP overshadowing.


-What do you cherish about Varium?

quote:

The few limits it has to expand the game. There are so many possibilities to invent for the spending of Varium like said "skins".


-Do you have any significant history in relation to Varium?

quote:

My very first Varium package was the value of 10k Varium which came with the Beta gear. I was overpowered and I didn't really know how to play haha.


-Do you have any significant future predictions to Varium?

quote:

Positive futures with positive people to manage it.

Triple post!

But if no one would like to share their opinion on Varium that is fine. I will swiftly ask for the deletion of my thread if the topic is boring or intimidating.

Just try to avoid mentioning "money" as much as possible.

Does this include in game pricing (example-950 varium for a certain weapon)?
If not I will state several things.



goldslayer1 -> RE: Varium (3/3/2012 23:02:10)

@void
u do realize that "money" is the only issue people have with varium?

its the only thing worth talking about the most that relates to varium.
and the forums dont allow that. makes me wonder why.



Stabilis -> RE: Varium (3/3/2012 23:08:32)

@zman,

Anything inside the game is fine to discuss. Just avoid the theme of real-world predicaments.

@gold,

The larger reasoning of them all is trusting the player-base to not critique, discourage, or criminalize the handling or funding of money. Otherwise the game is accepting of advise.



Mr. Black OP -> RE: Varium (3/3/2012 23:15:35)

Oh okay, in that case I think varium for weapons should cost a bit less, almost 1/10 of the largest package for 1 weapon not including enhancements seems a bit high to me, and forget about it on the 1500 varium weapons. I would lower the prices of all weapons and enhancements to 1/10 (including credit enhancements) of the varium cost.

For instance the Light Rune Sword costs 185 varium while a weapon that is twice as high in level should (for the sake of logic) cost twice as much in varium so 370 varium. But because of enhancements it should be lowered even further since it seems they are mandatory to be competitive.

Also Wiseman's ideas should be implemented if possible.

ahh, ok.
then i feel as if enhancements price and package price are high. and need to be lowered.
thats my advice.



kittycat -> RE: Varium (3/5/2012 1:48:32)

I believe Varium should be solely used as an incentive to be a better player, not to be competitive in some way to be always winning. However, it isn't being used properly when there is more benefits than it should have. Varium should be scaled only 1-2 levels above the non-varium weapons, unless they are 34, increase by 2-3 stat points and 1 damage points
