0.11.5 Deployment Timeline and Skin Transfer Video

I have to admit, this skin transfer system really blew my mind! Never thought GGG would add this feature to the game. I might consider going back to this game if they continually bring us these kinds of updates. Now we only need someone to start a fashion thread to save us the points in case we used a skin didn't turned out as cool as we expected. But It's just me thinking out loud...

*cough* I dare you! *cough*

Holy shit I cant wait, I'm gonna buy like 20 of these. I hope they are reasonably priced? =)

guess it's no problem to have a reusable mt for skin transfers, though it will be more expensive.

Chris:

Am I correct in understanding that if you die with an item that has a skin, and then use the reclaim button, the sacrificial item would be in softcore.

So if you want to use a fancy alternate art skin in Hardcore, you're risking it.

yes.

well, this transaction just RIP'd for hardcore players using interesting skins =p

gg

you'd think they would avoid disincentives like this. i would have strongly considered this transaction, but not anymore.

No, it is logical. Hardcore is hardcore. It is a risk, yes. But hardcore is the very definition of risk. So I hope it will stay that way ...

microtransactions are supposed to be outside of this stuff, though.

that's like saying somebody who dies with their $1500 Eternal Weapon effect in hardcore should have it permanently stuck in softcore.

I cant believe... No more astral plates? Pants for each and everyone?!! Happiest day ever!

What is the philosophy behind making a non reclaimable mtx? Is it a money grab? Is there a difference between skin transfer and the other microtransactions? I really hope that this is due to technical limitation and not a design choice. The craziest part is people eat it right up. The player base seems to get stupider by the day.

First in game ads, now shady marketing tactics. The slope is a slippery one.
