These shop prices are pure insanity

[Brisket]

$100 for a single character ultimate bundle? are you kidding me? $100 for a single character.... thats... insane.

[Iwantacookie]

Its a nexon game. Disappointing, but expected.

You can however unlock pretty much everything but slots in game, I believe you have to pay for more slots.

And what about skins? Or live whole game in single outfit...

I am actually at the point ,where i would want ultimate skin from bundle, but not the ultimate character itself (so i could unlock it myself), yet... the price would not change for 99% even if i would have character unlocked.

I agree, was going to spend money then saw the prices and thought nah.

I was going to maybe buy a few characters to support F2P as I normally do, saw the predatory premium currency prices and decided not to bother

[Hollow-Enigma]

Well these aren't just characters, they come with a skin that you don't get if you craft them. Sorta like the prime accessories from Warfame. The only stupid thing is the way things are bundled and the stupidly overpriced energy activators.

Funny, POE is 11yrs old and there are support skin bundles that cost from $200-1k that ALOT of people buy cause they really like to support a great game.

The difference here is that in POE skins are just skins, cosmetics. In this the ultimate suits give you stat boost.

And to actually make better point against PoE than you, PoE has "pay for convenience" features that absolutely give benefit to you.

However, these are pretty cheap and you only need to buy it once and you are set for entire game. It's almost like support bundle at this point. And PoE is just THAT good that community allows it.

I don't think this game is anywhere as good to justify many times worse monetization. Hell, I don't think this game is even competative to current f2p or cheap looter shooters in the market. I would be surprised if it will have much of a playerbase in like 2-3 months once novelty wears off and less grindy content is done.

[Serah]

its 55 Euro what is still a lot, unless you want the other BS thats just in it to inflate the Price.

It's not what I'd call predatory in the slightest, this isn't a gatcha game at the end of the day and prices are the same as warframes prime access pretty much.

What does suck is that you cannot dye the base suit's of basic or ultimates even if you buy it!
Then once you do dye something it loses all the added texture detail and looks much worse than the original base variants, which, you cannot apply to the ultimate as a skin.

I bought ultimate ajax to find this out :(

The only real bonus of the ultimate I can see is 2 extra polarities ore applied to mod slots, I've read there are unique mods for it, but I'm yet to see any evidence of this.

Save your money, it's not worth it, luckily, no ones forcing you to buy it.

[TerraNova]

its not 100 tho its 3k of there curency to get the Ultimate thats 60 isnt it? where are you getting the 100 from

The predatory part is the way things are bundled, you can't buy the things you might want seperately, imagine if you already have ultimate bunny and want that skin or god forbid the accessories... tough luck.

prime access also comes with roughly 100$ worth of plat so the value is still way higher
