What would an appropriate price be for a helmet? A chest piece? Those other shenanigans like the flashing lights after you die. Or those annoying things on the side of weapons? Speaking of which can I turn those off? How much does that cost?
I think micro means between free and $5. I’d pay $20 to be able to disable brain hacks like weapon charms and effects.
What price would the community pay for things in Infinite?
I want DLC Packs again.
For $10 I want to have 5 sets of armor.
FULL SETS
UI probably doesn’t support lol
That’d be better, but it still wouldn’t be as good as being able to purchase anything and everything individually.
I just do not want to spend money on something I’m never going to use, I hate the idea. Let me get what I want to get, don’t make me also spend money on items I’m not interested in.
10 euro should be the absolute maximum
I think that they should bring back S1 content with one or 2 items for 100 creds as dailys. Since they removed daily’s due to not having enough content for 6 months of daily’s
I absolutely get the frustration around how high prices are in Infinite, but ultimately it’s a market like any other. It’s an artificial market that operates on artificial scarcity, which is manipulative and nasty on 343’s part (FOMO is everything to this business model), but the pricing/demand dynamic isn’t different than it would be in any other market.
Calling out garbage like limited time availability and the boldface lying that’s involved in assigning completely arbitrary “rarities” to digital assets that are endlessly reproducible is all perfectly fair. Especially because 343 has repeatedly harped on with their narrative that they aren’t trying to weaponize FOMO.
The pricing side of things comes down to what people are willing to pay and what 343i’s revenue targets are, though. It seems like enough people buy the big bundles at the 1600cR mark for 343 to be satisfied with the amount of revenue generated. This is a cut and dry case of voting with your wallet being your only option. If you buy, you signal to 343 that prices are acceptable. If you don’t, you essentially send the opposite message.
Unfortunately, though, none of us can control other people’s purchasing decisions. There are people who will buy everything, and the system is designed to target those people (often with addictive or impulsive personalities) on those principles of artificial scarcity. All you can do is buy when you think there’s value and abstain when you don’t.
Grousing at 343 to lower prices is pointless, because as Ske7ch pointed out on Twitter not long ago, they’re ultimately going to model pricing around “player action” (whether or not enough players buy). Demanding an apology for the prices is even more useless. The most effective option you have in protesting prices is to not buy.
Honestly, I’ve got loot burnout. That’s one reason I play Halo the AR is THE AR, the BR is THE BR, the Rockets are…you get it. I am so burned out on Looter Shooters. I can’t play Destiny or Diablo any more. Going through the inventory upkeep…argh… I’ve had my fill. Now Halo’s cosmetics are reaching a critical mass for me now. I still play out the battle pass. I grind the weeklies and events. At this point I couldn’t care less about the shop.
With that being said, how much would I pay? Seeing as you get near 100 items for 10 dollars in the battle pass, about 10 cents per item. Since most sets in the shop contain one or two good items out of 5-10 junk ones. Maybe 15-20 cents per item in the shop. If they wanted me to buy everything. 25-50 per item if they want me to buy some stuff. Any higher no thanks.
BUT you would agree that $10 for 5 sets is better than $16 for a single set right?
If that comes true and people can pay $10 to turn off cosmetics, then I would pay $20 to force everyone who paid $10 to see my cosmetics just to troll. Knowing 343 both of those bundles could become a reality
Of course.
