Mortal Sin -> RE: =ED= Omega Update Feedback (2/8/2013 22:03:03)

I am an architect that focus in administration, and i will tell u what will happen to Epicduel in a financial perspective.
As we know the objective of every game in the market is to gain money. With that developers can keep working on their game and keep earning money. This is an absolute truth, so keep this in mind.
Non varium players are people that like this game, but not enough to invest real money on it. Varium players like this game and are willing to invest on this game so developers get paid and keep working on their favorite game. Its obvious that players that invest money in the game, must have an advantage over non varium players.
Nowdays in Omega developers took that advantage from varium players, and put them on the same level as non varium players. This makes varium players uncomfortable for the following reasons:
1. If they invest 100 dollars on varium to use it on enhancements, and u give them back 30 dollars of the money the invest. You developers are taking advantage of them. cause now they will have to invest another 70 dollars to replace the money they lost. This is a double edege weapon, the good part is they might want to replace what they lost and invest again on this game, or the bad part is they might feel robed and therefore not want to invest again cause now they fear you can rob them again.
2. Some players invested varium on specific weapons to create specific builds, this way every weapon in unique and helps the players in different ways. Now that every weapon have the same stats, they no longer need thoose rare weapons they purchased for their specific stats. All they need now is one weapon and just modify its stats whenever they need, this way developers cant sell players new weapons cause they know that new weapons are as good as their basic weapons. This was a bad decision from developers cause cores are not good enough to replace the idea of better weapons with better stats. I can guarantee developers wont sell cores as profitable that selling weapons in the past was. And even if they really want to but a new weapon in Omega, they wont use varium to do that cause now they can get it with credits.
3. Since varium gave a significant advantage to varium players over non varium in the past. They think varium is worth and important for their characters. But now that they no longer need it cause theres no advantage anymore, they will stop purchasing.
The idea from developers of balancing the game is good, but they can only balance it on a certain degree. Every game in the market gives profitable bennefits to players that invest in that game, this is also an absolute truth.
They way i figured out they balanced the game so non varium players wont feel completely doomed when they fight varium players. This way they might attract new players to this game and increase the ammonut of users, which may purchase varium in the future and therefore increase the developers profit. The only problem here is that now that varium has less worth uses, people wont feel the need of investing to purchase varium. Also players that purchased varium in the past wont invest in varium ever again, cause theres no real advantage for purchasing it anymore.
In conclusion developers made some bad decisions, and they will suffer the consequences of thoose decisions the hard way, NOT EARNING MONEY FROM THEIR GAME. So I expect the end of Epicduel in the near future unless they do something really fast to correct all their bad decisions.
I could tell developers one or two ways but this is not my job and I probabbly wont get paid for this. So all I can do is give you my point of view. I only hope u take this post in consideration, cause this is a post from an studied person, and not from an average Joe. Sorry if I sound rude in this post, this is not my intention, so please respect my point of view as I respect everyones point of view.
