I see you Leadbelcher set. 17 bucks? For armor for a noncanon fracture core? What a laugh, what a joke. Store items in your current system are already the epidemy of FOMO let alone fracture event items which only makes the issue worse.
I for one am not paying a cent for anything here. Not playing the game for a while now too.
Time and time again the fanbase metaphorically slams what we want and how we want in in 343s face and time and time again they just wont listen. Why are you trying to kill the game at this point? Whos job is it to aggressively monetise the game and why are they such a soulless corporate stooge? Oh but they dont care, they dont even play video games.
Vote with your wallets lads.
And by that I mean dont budge and dont give them a cent. Make it hurt.
Quote from Ske7ch on twitter addressing the price hike-
âAFAIK this week is higher due to quantity and rarity of items in the bundle. Not a universal price hike. Seems like this doesnât meet expectations for many and is part of the teamâs experimenting and learning. Note that much of the shop feedback will take more time to implement.â
The items in the shop this week are rare guys. They are no trying to use FOMO tho, for real.
Increasing the prices are easy, but lowering them is gonna take time.
Everyone making purchases in the shop was asking for this whether they realized it or not.
Ske7ch is basically saying they are seeing what they can get away with.
The legacy armor should be free. The new armor should be in a catalog for $1 each piece.
Iâve been so heated about this stuff I thought this was a defense and was about to be like bruh. Glad a read the rest lol.
Honestly the whole aspect of âRarityâ is a bleeding joke. NOTHING in this game should have a rarity. Nothing is RNG.
Itâs honestly a pretty crappy marketing tactic and you couldnât be more right aboutâŚ
Saw the tweet myself and was dumbfounded by it. The hiking store prices are honestly NUTS to me. Iâve been saving up for the wolf shoulders with my gamepass points
Because⌠Ahem⌠ASASSINED WOLF. but I never shell out real money.
At this point with Flight simulator getting a pelican, Fall guys getting halo armor, the rising store prices. It Feels like weâre being laughed at.
Taunted for wanting fair prices.
Players are leaving daily, the player numbers are dropping on steam and Xbox and only returning long enough to beat a fracture on 2XP and dip. And Iâm one of them now.
IDC that it was just 100 creds. I donât care its rarity. Iâm happy technical issues are slowly being addressed. ITS THE BIGGEST PRIORITY
BUT, you donât have to gas price scalp your players along the way to do it.
yes, weâre voting with our wallets, but the problem is that there are whales plaguing around the item shop, its insaneâŚand i cant believe there are some of those that defend these kinds of pricy stuff, and ârarityâ in this situation doesnât really help or defend their âpointâ.
whatâs the point of putting that on items if there isnât any lootboxes in the first place? this stuff is just rotated daily and i donât see any signs of ârarityâ, just price gouging and alot of lies.
I feel your frustration. I havenât been able to play this since launch do to sheer disgust with how this game is being handled. They arenât trying to meet us in the middle at all.
It doesnât even feel like a game to me, more like a âproductâ
Carefully manufactured instead of passionately created.
I check back in at the forums periodically to see if things have gotten better, and it only seems to have gotten worse. I read somewhere that they realize the majority of people want collision back, but they still arenât going to do it? The same with friendly fire apparently? Itâs ridiculous.
I have been playing a lot of MCC co-op with my Halo buddy which has been fun. They still managed to mess up some of the Reach armor though
Anyone that thinks any of the prices are reasonable are being fleeced.
whats even MORE dumb is that some items wont even return or appear, infact- i dont think iâve seen certain armors that that appeared in the item shop or during an event.
which leads me to the question: why are they doing this?
Voting with our wallets is pretty much only good for our own dignity at this point.
Like you said, we are being undermined by whales.
They canât do loot boxes so they are doing the next best thing with FOMO. They must think we are mindless consumption zombies trying to push ârarityâ past us. Unfortunately some of us are.,
Correct me if Iâm wrong but that sounds like FOMO to me, which they promised NOT to do I believe.
I canât say for sure though. Iâve reinstalled the game 2 or 3 times since launch just to see what the shop looked like so I donât really know much about events or the rotation
What bums me out is I love doing fashion in games, hell I wanted to find out where one of the coatings for eaglestrike is because then I could complete the look of the Rocketeer with this core but I just canât support how bad its going anymore. I am REALLY bummed out with Infiniteâs potential being flushed away from executive greed.
I feel you on the fashion stuff. Reach is my favorite for that reason, how immersed I felt playing the campaign as my Spartan. I liked it so much I made a figure of it.
I just donât like paying for armor, especially at the prices they set and for armor that was free in better games.
It was also stupid not to let us change our campaign armor in Infinite, which would have added more value to people that pay for the armor.
I dont understand why people buy armor anyways, it has no impact on the gameplay.
In RPG games I can understand why you buy items for better equipments.
In Halo the armor does nothing for the gameplay, its just looks.
In Halo 1-3 people didnt care about this stuff.
Fashion in live service games is end game. I couldnât agree more.
Unfortunately Halo has nothing to speak for in terms of âworkingâ for it.
A good system wouldâve been to reverse the armor and equipment reqs if they wanted us to buy armor and instead work to unlock weapons and vehicles with varying array of models throughout levels along side of basic armor.
All this flashy radio glow sticks dragons and antlers can stay whatever. But without a way to EARN what we want from the store, 343 is telling us to go screw ourselves untill we drop money
âI admit ârarityâ is the wrong word and while itâs an internal designation, my referring to it publicly understandably has driven confusion and feedback. There is still some subjectivity involved, but not all content items have the same cost of productionâ
-Ske7ch
Question how can you say rarity is an internal designation when armor LITERALLY has listings of rarity in game. WITH BACKGROUND COLORS.
Itâs only rare when the quantity is low. Because these are digital items 343 can make as many as they want, so any excuse for ârarityâ is a load of bull. I donât know if 343 is just completely ignorant to their audience demands or horribly malevolent or some twisted combination of both. This is disgusting and has to stop.
Armor sets should be no more than 1000 CR. Not 1700, not 1200, ONLY 1000 Credits. And just about everything else outside of full armor sets should be 100 Credits MAX. This is just unacceptable.
You can pretend itâs rare if everyone can buy it thatâs stupid if it was random that would be a valid way to call it rare this is dumb and gross, I wouldnât pay more than 7 for a full set and 5 would be reasonable they would get more money if the prices were significantly lower not higher dumbest marketing I have ever seen
