Scrap the FOMO store

In the same sense that Star Trek isn’t bad sci-fi, but instead okay space opera, and Star Wars isn’t bad sci-fi, but instead bad fantasy, the DT FOMO shop isn’t a bad FOMO shop, it’s a bad FOMO shop.

Aren’t you here too? :rofl:

Are there new commodore vestures? Do anybody know?

Today? Not sure but they usually drop about mid morning for me in the UK so we should find out in the next few hours

Well I’m sure we can all safely say that they’ll be of high quality, worth the wait, and etc, etc… God help me, I can’t even bring myself to finish that statement even as a joke.

TBF, the most recent drop had a bunch of new stuff (I’d never seen it anyway) as multi-buy deals and much of it was pretty great.

Though I appreciate the sentiment, given past rotations.

I can confirm a new rotation. Pirates are back on the menu! And a bunch of new bundle deals. Maybe bundles are here to stay?

Still nothing for Arbites though :pensive_face:

as i said, it’s one of their half measures, like being able to change only 2 perks/blessings in the past. still not a shop where you can buy everything, but if this model of 1 new or premium rotation + 1 standard old rotation stays, it’s way better than before. also, the bundles of items in 3 colors are a nice touch, but also a reason why we can’t repaint our stuff as we like.

It was said from the beginning of time that ALL the outfits were going to rotate in the shop weekly, they literally clarified it in several posts. The fact that you don’t have self-control or are not aware of that doesn’t make it FOMO.

Oh? Haven’t seen them yet. That’s a nice surprise though.

It does actually make it FOMO. That’s literally what FOMO relies upon to make money.

Rotate out? Yes.

Will previous cosmetics reappear in the store? Maybe? The only thing I remember the obese cartilaginous fish saying on this matter is:

“Likely reappear” is not a definite “will reapper.” At beast it is a “may” which is just another way of saying “might not”

Granted a definite statement may have been made somewhere else, I just don’t remember or haven’t seen it if so.

At no point was it said that they were exclusive cosmetics, and in fact, it was always said that they would rotate and come back, and that was years ago.

FOMO is the fear of missing out, but these cosmetics return almost all the time. In fact, I think this is the third time they’ve come back since they were released. So, how can you miss out if they always return?

This particular set, maybe. Other sets have never returned again. There is no rhyme or reason or logic to the “rotation" which isn’t really a rotation. It’s a lucky dip, deliberately to create fomo.

I’m glad you like the store as is. I think you’re the only one to think so.

We have skins of weapons and costumes that never made a return in the store like Deathwolrd Splinter Camo (Released Nov 2022, Combat Shotgun Skin) though, and others skins like this one (Mk IV Ahabian Prosthetic Limb from “Sergeant Chain Flyby Zorin”, Released Nov 2023, Rerun July 2025) here only returned to the store once years later.

Just because they were transparent about the broad strokes implementation doesn’t make it a good system. Remember crafting in the before times?

Credit though, they warned us.

Also: what’s with people not understanding FOMO? It’s super simple and has nothing to do with your ego…

Deets.

If it was indeed:

It should be no issue to find and quote a developer or community manager saying just that.

The quote I gave from Aqshy was from december 14, 2022, about two weeks after the release of the game.

But by all means, if you’re sure they have said anything more definite than that, please show me when and where.
