That’s it, that’s the thing I’m posting to complain about. Y’all really are just expecting us to pay $15 apiece for a bunch of reskins and assuming we’re all too stupid to recognize that they are reskins with your rotating shop system obfuscating that fact.
Get your heads on straight, stop being greedy, and implement a shop that isn’t a blatant cash grab.
Even when it’s not a reskin you got to sit and think now are they just gonna make a new one a few months from now and charge me more money for a fixed version
Vet coat, the psyker helm, and everything Ogryn got is just a recolor. So’s most of the non-front-page stuff that got rotated in. Zealot is even worse off with getting an old armor rotated in instead of even a recolor.
Also, that Steel Legion reskin is going hard on the ‘sell the thematic helmet separately’ thing, and is worse off price-wise than the original, which bundled weapon skins and charms with it.
You can complain but the whales will buy. My suggestion is to take the freeloader pill. Not that i don’t paypig from time to time for a good set to fulfill my fantasy of being a tabletop model. But because i do, you don’t have to!
If you want to support the game by buying “cosmetics” its your money, but this stuff is gone as soon as Fatshark decides their cloud services bill is too high and they just pull the plug on the servers.
Oh, I know. Lord do I know. And I paid money for aquilas, so I don’t exactly have all the high ground to complain.
That doesn’t change the fact that what was said a long time ago still applies about Darktide: “You’re not a dive bar, so why are you acting like one?!”
This game deserves better than microtransaction nonsense. The combat team deserves better than being shackled to RNG crafting and horrible itemization.
That’s the entire point of ‘rotating shops’ aside from the FOMO aspect. It’s far more difficult to compare and see when they re-use assets. They can get away with minimal effort and maximize profit.
Nothing wrong with re-using assets, but charging $15 for them is scummy. I wish they would re-think their MTX practices…Because I’d really like to purchase some cosmetics at some point
I, for one, am glad of the repeat for Zealot, because I only learned about the voice FX of that helm a couple of days ago, and I’m thoroughly enjoying it.
(I’m also on-board with getting more items into the store; the concept of FOMO doesn’t bother me, but seeing the same set for 2 weeks isn’t going to make me want it any more/less)
Darth Dickot, or Dickot Vader? Can’t decide which I prefer
