I only need 1 hundred Aquilas to get a cosmetic item i desire, not 200 or 500. Can we get an option to buy 100 Aquilas? 0,50€~1€ would sound like a decent price. [20231027205326_1]

I don’t know if it was actually ever said/promised by FS, and I’d love to know either way for sure. Regardless, I think the lack of a 100 aquilas option is the worst failing of the MTX system in this game. It’s just not OK.

In particular it was about the cosmetics pack I believe being 100 more Aquilas than one of the purchase options so you would need to purchase 2 currency packs just to buy 1 cosmetic pack. Either way I deeply despise funny money layers in most games.

Never going to happen because Fatshark wouldn’t be able to exploit the tendency of not wanting to have spare Aquillas leftover between every purchase, thus leading players to buy more Aquillas than necessary to run out/even out.

The developers responsible for the monetization system in Darktide are just horrible.

I think this particular 100 aquilas situation is inexcusable, but (until proven otherwise), I’ll happily take my one-time purchase game with purely-cosmetic monetization aaaaaaany day.

Ok, I found it. Very disappointing, but this was said and remains up in an official update: We will also add a 100 Aquilas pack within the next few weeks, allowing players to buy smaller fractions of Aquilas. Link: Community Update #5: Week 2

of course they can it only has to be hidden behind enough corners and unconvenient menues… easy :joy:

[Bild_2023-11-21_210806731] and [NVIDIA_Share_3zJBVaXphV] last time i checked, having to buy an amount that results in having spare monopoly money isnt “1:1”

I simply don’t know how true the assertion that different currencies make slapping USD dollar amounts on MTX problematic from a functionality/tax/whatever perspective. But looking at the packs available right now, there are dedicated 2100, 2400, and 2900 packs, which correspond to the “bundle” prices we’ve seen (except for the 1200/1400 dual-head piece ones). It seems that PCGamer quote is in reference to the 2400 aquila pack, which didn’t originally exist. Seems the 2900 was added for the Krieg sets. Still, you can’t buy 400/700 (for weapon skins/heads) or 900 (for other weapons/head pieces) or 1100 or 1200/1400 or even an amount that adds up to any of those, and I think that’s impossible to justify.

I’ll go ahead and say it, and I’ll say it directly to @FatsharkStrawHat too: I won’t be buying any more aquilas until the 100 pack is introduced, as promised almost a year ago. And I’ll be here in this thread encouraging (polite) discussion about this for as long as it takes. EDIT: Please heart/like the OP if you swing by this topic.

When will we be getting the 100 Aquilas purchase option?
