Is it true or is it just a rumor?
I keep seeing people bring it up.
Anyway, I think it would be a great way to incentivize people to interact with the cash shop, convert some of them to paying customers while also giving Aquilas buyers a way to earn some extra.
Rate could be something like 200-400 earnable per week with a quest system similiar to Melk’s weeklies.
What do you think?
please I’m begging
It’s not a good sign if it is true. Devs don’t just start giving away what was cash-only currency when things are going well.
That was in a Fatshark post months before the game would launch before they changed it to what it is today. I haven’t seen anything suggesting aquilas will be earnable in-game since then.
I don’t think it will happen, but I wish it was true.
If there is a good thing about For Honor (bugisoft game), it’s the currency system they have, it’s basically what you are saying here.
You can earn their currency by playing matches (a very small amount, around 60-40 per game, you earn less if you play against bots), completing “contracts” every two days (around 800), or you can buy it. The stuff you can buy with it costs from 7000 to 25000. And there is A LOT of it, that alone made me buy some stuff with real money.
Could you stop that ? Each time on the Discord you say that. Some people believe you and the rest have to say that it won’t happen.
FS already said it that it won’t happen
They did? Where?
So far it was neither confirmened nor approved to my knowledge.
Too good to be true.
Are you seriously pouring water on the rumor mill AND asking why that rumor keeps popping up? 
Why don’t you turn the question around. Where has anyone seen it written, except for what Harridas posted? Else, just pose the question directly to a CM (dm, tag in post) and hope for a response.
Keep the dream alive!
I heard there will be earnable aquilas too! 
It’s not that hard @FatsharkCatfish
To be fair, if that’s your indicator for whether or not things are going well then I think there might be more than a few missed signs on the road we might have missed.
Things aren’t going well. Things arent really going, to be fair, in any kind of sense or direction. This ride we’re all on needs to be furnished with its missing pieces but all they’ve done is maintain the bits that are already there and drip-feed the stuff they think won’t be difficult to port over to the console release they’re pretending they arent feverishly working on at the expense of everything else.
I’ve been saying since day 1 that the drip feed could be as stingy as 1-2 Aquila for every tome and grim you end the mission with and it would be massive improvement to the gameplay loop. Cosmetics are really the only concrete thing this game gives you to work toward after hitting rank 30 (the possibility of maybe getting a decent weapon is not very enticing with the current loot/crafting system). I’m willing to grind for something if I know what I’m grinding for.
Sure isn’t, but I don’t know what you will achieve with that tag…
This feature has been overwhelmingly asked for by the community since day 1 and it’s very easy to implement. The fact that Fatshark hasn’t at least commented on this (or most of the major concerns the community has) should be your answer. Hopium is a hell of a drug tho
I generally agree, but when they start giving away the main source of income that the game is intended to survive on long-term, that’s a huge red flag. I take it far more seriously than anything else we’ve seen.
On the other hand, being able to give out paid-only currency can also mean things are going pretty well and they’re willing to take a minor monetary opportunity loss to generate some good will. Obviously neither is happening but usually when things aren’t going well they will become stingy first before a last ditch “please stay with us” bribe.
That’s always the big question, innit?
What’s better, getting more money out of the few people willing to play your game, or getting less money out of a big playerbase who love to support your product?
Ask DRG, they pump out free cosmetics next to paid DLCs every season, I get the feeling it’s a pretty successful model, their playercount continues to climb as time goes on.
Maybe I’m in the minority but I’d spend way more money on premium bucks (compared to the $0 I’ve currently spent) if I could also earn them through gameplay. $5-$10 here or there to close the gap when I get tired of grinding is a much easier purchase to justify than $10-$15 or whatever for a single outfit.
While earnable Aquilas would be nice… what would be nicer is if there were anything worth spending Aquilas on. Speaking as a whale with paid Aquilas to spend, the Cosmetics shop selection is absolutely miserable.
