Is this cash shop a joke or something?

No. Fatshark. No. This is not a mobile game. This is not a cheap gacha MMO. And trust me you don’t wanna be any of those.

So can someone please explain to me WHY is this entire cash shop is built around making the player overpay?

Look at the payment options and look at the prices.

I can pay for 2100 scam currency. Oh guess what, every bundle costs 2400 scam currency. So i HAVE TO buy 4500 pack because you want more money than what you are actually asking.

No. This has to stop. Vermintide cash shop was perfect. Everything had their own price tag above them, no BS premium currency. You could pay for exactly what you wanted and you got exactly what you wanted.

I bought all the crappy skins you sold in V2 because i really liked the game and wanted to support it. But if you start doing me like this, things change.

Remove this braindead premium currency. Put an actual pricetag on whatever the F you want to sell and let me pay for exactly what i want and nothing more. I refuse to be balantly scammed.

You are also missing the fact that the store is timed.

Add that to the “everything completely wrong with Darktide” list because its a damn long one.

But even then i am ok with everything in that list EXCEPT for this.

Can’t even buy pieces separately, you have to buy the full bundle

One more failed design decision

edit -

You can buy pieces separately, first press V to inspect the item, then purchase

The UI needs to be more clear, and i’m saying this for you Fatshark, you’re missing out on money

Yeah, this looks really bad. I found VT2s cash shop to be perfect. I could chip in a bit if I wanted something.

This premium currency… can you not buy actual gear for it or is it only cosmetics? Is it the same currency as for weeklies?

This premium currency does nothing other than buying cosmetics. So since we have to pay for extra if we want to buy anything, the leftover currency is completely useless.

I wish I knew I could buy individual items. . .

Hah

I was thinking, people aren’t gonna buy, but i guess maybe it’s on purpose to push people to think they have to buy the whole bundle with useless weapons cosmetics

Yeah, that sucks, and the VT system is better, but I am fine with them selling cosmetics for real money.

not very nice, why not give constructive feedback instead of flaming them?

This is also cosmetic. I see nothing wrong with them trying to make money for cosmetic only items.

This is far better than PTW weapons. This shop does not affect the core gameplay, maps, or weapon power. Despite the tantrum, I think you have valid points, but companies do have to make money to keep updating us with content we enjoy. If you don’t like the cosmetic options or prices, you simply do not purchase it.

If enough people do not purchase these items, FS will lower the price. Would you rather have paid for DLC maps? or DLC for new enemy types?

Cosemtics is the lessor of all evils, maybe try and see this from their POV.

Also, whats your solution? There is no feedback to take from your post other than, your upset at the cost. A constructive solution would be to lower the prices under 2100 or equal too. Do you know if there is a way to earn premium currency? Maybe FS will give a way to earn it in the future, who knows.

@jesper This is seperate “premium currency” for cosemtic only items.

I am unsure if we can earn it, its only day 1. Maybe we can in the future with timed events.

At least we don’t have a battle pass.

we dont have to accept this, and if we let them do this weapons will be next, time after time, you let one through, they take more.

Its not about them selling cosmetics. Problem is they are not selling cosmetics to you they are selling “premium currency”. And the entire shop is built around player having to overpay for that premium currency, you can’t just pay for 2400 currency if you want to buy a bundle, you HAVE TO pay for 4500 pack.

This is a classic garbage f2p mobile game cash shop tactic used for making people overpay. It doesn’t belong in this game period.

If you wanna sell cosmetics, fine. But put a real price tag on it instead of trying to scam me.

What’s the over/under on the inevitable EA “We’ve heard you and we care!” post?

Cash shop doesn’t even load for me…

That fact that this thing even exists in its current form is plain insulting imho. Especially given the myriad of other problems that this game still has, many of which could and simply should have been avoided with the lessons learned from VT2.

No one is complaining about premium cosmetics, really, but if your game is so f’ing light on content/depth an you then try to get away with f2p cash shop tactics, my patience very quickly runs aground.

Yeah it really irks me to see a microtransaction store in a $60 AUD game.

Let alone to see that store has all the red flags of a mobile game store.

AND to see that on release the crafting system isn’t even fully implemented on full release.
(Which I was forgiving for the beta).

Like why don’t you just spit on me and call it rain while you’re at it.

The whole shop is predatory. Rotating overpriced bundles with a timer and forcing the consumer to overpay.

They got the shop to be in at release but could not manage to put in game features like solo mode or crafting.

Seems like they have made their priorities known

you nead to inspect item then you cna buy it separatly :stuck_out_tongue:

Still this shop is meh. bad implemention & bad revives about it & even the timer is meh… why we cant see more skins , why they are scaming ther prices?[imo i dont care about it but it’s just as all said earlier you nead to buy biger packs to buy sets] & even the prices on separate things suck… TENCENT is shity company looking only for profit & not looking into diffrent markets[how they work in diffrent regionsof the world].

could I entreat you to visit this thread to try to combat these issues?
