Fairly disappointed in the microtransactions.

Just saying. A lot of games iv played have the same system as us. Except they add when you buy more. However the end result is the same because they will charge in 600-700 instead of 500 increments. I know this because I have gotten stuck with 100-200 coins in other games many times before. Only when I bought the cheaper packs however. If I went with the 20$ pack it would have boosted me those extra 200-300 points I needed to buy a new item.
Maybe we should have gone with this as well from what your saying. I guess getting 50 coins when charging 60 coins would look more appealing than the smaller numbers. However its now impossible to change as all this would lead to is ripping off our supporters. Its a bit sucky but developers need money to keep working. No doubt we will have sales and so on on items once we get a lot more. I like all the fluffy animals[img]http://i.imgur.com/mO8dR.png[\img]

I feel some items are grossly overpriced, to the point of being ridiculous. I also don't like how there are loads of different weapon glows and they're all different prices, it's unnecessary, they should just be separated into basic and premium, $5 for basic and $10 for premium (although I feel that's too expensive for a weapon glow, but it's better then the current cost). I have already spent $15 on this game and I will be spending another $20 at least in the near future, so it's not that I'm tight fisted I just like to feel like I'm getting a good deal.

While the net effect is the same, I believe the psychology of the presentation is off putting. Seeing X6 points opens the door to ask "wtf is this?" Whereas multiples of 10 or even 5 don't leave as much room for questioning.
While we're on the topic, might thee consider periodic $5 and $10 sales for a better value? I'm not sure the credit arrangement you guys have set up, but I have seen many games do this to great effect, to encourage a high volume of impulse purchases from the majority player base who otherwise wouldn't have spent a dime.

" This is the wrong way of thinking about it. These items fund development, the cost of which is inestimable on our end. It pays bills, salaries, what has been spent in the past and things yet to be bought. |

" That's not the same thing at all. When you buy 1000 coins in order to make a 700 coin purchase, you have 300 coins left, so if you buy another 1000 you can then buy a 1200 coin item. A leftover of a few hundreds when everything is priced in multiples of 100 is useable. What GGG has done is create leftovers that are pretty much impossible to use even after making other purchases. How are you ever going to use those 6 coins left over, unless you purchase FIVE more 96 coin packages to get 6x5=30? This scheme appears scummy, shameless, greedy, poorly thought out and incompetent. I hope it was implemented out of error and not malice, but then again if it was just a lack of forethought you would consider rounding the packages up and retroactively refunding those 4 coins. You do have a transaction log, right? If you don't want to accept 5$ or 10$ transactions because of credit fees, then fine, don't offer them. DON'T EVER cripple your microtransaction packages like that. |

All this rage about a few pennys left in your pocket.
Ok, 5$ -> 45 points, everybody is happy. (also reduce all the other x6 to x5 of course) If people don't want their bonus point and call you greedy over them (??), then so be it. ... is not a troll

Insolence. Insolence everywhere. You don't like the microtransactions? You want more stash space but you -have too many- character slots? Oh what a pity dude. If I were you, I wouldn't play the game anymore. And I'd stop posting in the forums too.

" I was actually going off Heros of Newerths currency where its 500 coins for 10$ Actually I think its 400. My bad for not clarifying. Though it may be different now. Haven't played for around 6-8 months. Hmm maybe we should add an extra 0 onto the end currency to make it look more friendly. I like all the fluffy animals[img]http://i.imgur.com/mO8dR.png[\img]

" " You're obviously not supporting the game "wholeheartedly" yourself since you are getting something out of it (entertainment and boost to your self image). " Excellent point. People want their money's worth. |
