Faye's "Black Swan Special" Package should worry you

If you didn't already know, faye's costume skin can only be obtained through an exorbitant 15 valianites or through a 25 USD package, as opposed to the 400 gems the rest of the non-valiant costumes use to cost.


The developers have long aware of Faye's popularity, especially in the arena, surpassing even the OP berserker. Knowingly, they have altered the methods available to purchase her, from gems, a grind-able currency to valianites, a currency that can be gotten when you are forced to spend, or just straight-cash.


"But costumes barely give any stats bonuses and if you find it too costly, just don't buy it!" No, if you're already baring this mindset, you are part of the problem.


Through our feedbacks on this forum, moderators have been gathering information about what affects us most as players to devise ways to make us spend. From the faith-rerolling faeries to this ongoing faye costume sale, even an infant can tell that the developers have been targeting what we care the most and milking us through it.


"Haha! The game has to survive on money afterall! If you can't pay, don't play!" If you bare such a mindset, I would love to see your face when the developers continue to roll out new features like nature (aggressive/docile/sturdy) that affects a heroes' stats and create a non-ideal/imperfect characteristic that forces you to spend to perfect.


What should truly concern you is the direction this company is headed and what their priorities are. As a fellow Singaporean, I would hate for you to walk down that path.

Paying for costumes has never bothered me much up until now, I have always loved most of the 2D/3D artworks and would gladly pay to support it. Sometimes I would even opt for aesthetic looks over functionality when setting up team compositions.

However, from 400-600 gems to 15 Valianites is a huge jump and uncalled for. Costumes, being what they are in name, should only serve one purpose which is superficial. I see no reason why the cost should be inflated in such a way. Costumes made for heroes that came pre-launch are selling for gems now, I would loathe to continue to see new Heroes released post-launch selling for valianites or real currency. I'm myself a huge spender, yet I disagree with the way the Developers are putting their price tag at an exorbitant amount for a piece of costume, it's disgusting.

I've read somewhere that it's said that this change is to test the waters for our server and TW to prepare for Global/EU launch? That thread is gone now, but it went something like that. I would strongly advise the game director or whoever is making the big decisions to reconsider this type of approach. You don't see games like 7Knights upping their costume prices even for special heroes for more than the cost of pulling 10 premium summons. Just recently, Netmarble pulled a stunt like the RNG pull on costumes in collaboration with a rubbish game/company majority don't even know or play, the global community went in an uproar over it. The global community is not to be taken lightly, we here are already quite reserved in our opinions.

I found the Faye costume too expensive, but it is not required to clear the bosses or to progress, so I continue playing until the day I can get 15 Valianites.

What is it with all you people thinking that it is the end of the world? The old costumes are still the same price, nothing really change except for the new one. 

I don't understand all the whining.

And nobody praise the dev for allowing a high-end set to drop for free from the event, even from Heroic mode.

Everyone just complain, complain, and complain. Jeez.

Exactly part of the sheeple who can't stop riding the dev's d1**...


What is worrying is what will follow this should the devs continue to sell "packages" headed in this direction unless we stand up to them here and now.

Geez... this particular package, while worrying, isn't the biggest problem. What's worrying is the developer's mentality and priorities which gave them the idea to come up with this sort of package. Now, this is what will ruin the game experience for all of us, should they continue to make such packages while making changes to forcefully "enhance" their packages' value.
