Second event since Skulls with no aquilas

[Zaar]

How exactly? (honest curiosity) And GP concerns only Xbox, no? (I’m absolutely not versed in GP lore.)

We “bullied” Fatshark into re-allowing human cosmetics for Arbites, why not coordinate to demand they give us at least some aquilae as rewards?

AFAIR they said it was a bug, so maybe the “bulling” is just a wet dream.

That said, they also say that they do listen to the community.

[QuentinVance]

No, at first they specifically said it was on purpose

Never give the players an inch, they will demand a mile.

The thing is aquillas reward is clearly works for the game and online growth.

Not giving the thing to the community that clearly makes your game more popular is crazy.

Should it have been the same with crafting rework i wonder.

Add here the context of they gave away 14000 aquillas to xbox players.

You can’t buy a full set anyway with 500, but it attracts people still.

After a quick research, it seems to depend on the items in question. The backpacks were said early to be a bug, while the headgear seem to have gone from intended to bug:

Some "human" backpacks can't be used on Arbites class

All backpacks that are currently available to all human classes are intended to also be available to the Arbites; the missing backpacks are indeed a bug and we hope to remedy that soon.

Arbites can't use generic human cosmeitcs (will be fixed in Hotfix 70)

We recently squashed a bug that allowed the Arbites Class to equip a few headgear items they weren’t actually meant to wear. Some of you may have spotted it (or even rocked a new look for a bit!). Players who already equipped those cosmetics won’t find it removed, but you won’t be able to equip these unintended cosmetics after this bug fix. We know it might be a little disappointing if you were enjoying the unexpected fashion options. Sorry for the mix-up! We’re open to feedback if this is some…

Hotfix #70 (1.8.2)

[Steam_In_Text_Banner] Hey Everyone, Hotfix #70 (1.8.2) is currently rolling out across our platforms. In the meantime, you can read the notes below. General Fixes Fixed banter frequency: banter has been increased for all classes during missions. Solved a common crash that could occur when browsing companion skins. Fixed an issue that was causing the server to crash when players would step in specific locations in several missions. Fixed the description of Fan the Flames blessing so that th…

So, at least in some case the “bulling” seems to have worked.

I actually concur with you that it probably would be a good incentive to buy more in the shop. I’m just standing in awe before the passionate outcry of so many people about such IMHO petty things. (No offense to anyone who sees this differently.)

I’m just standing in awe before the passionate outcry

Eh a bit? But we all know why. First HD2 showed you can be generous with your community in the modern gaming era. Second - DT mtx shop is a milking farm in a payed game.

I personaly don’t think you can make FS to show some love, it’s just a business in the end. But it seems it’s just a well working marketing tool. They should drop some flashy trailer for 500 aquilla event - LOGIN NOW.

All these outcries for Aquilas now may tell FS one thing: Never give the players an inch, they will demand a mile.

It’s beyond crazy that people still defend terrible monetization practices by FS and put the blame on “entitled players”, when there is Warframe, a F2P game where:

• you can get ~70% of cosmetics by paying with premium currency, which is also obtainable by trading with other players for ingame items
• ~20% of cosmetics is obtainable only by playing the game, such as event/syndicate rewards
• ~10% of cosmetics is real money only such as Prime Access and Tennogen (for PC)

That’s a F2P game, I am repeating. Any of this is possible in P2P game by poor little Fatshark? Must be the players who are greedy, sure.
