Anybody buy store armor?

[Jolly Devil]

I’ve put 85 hours into this game so far and I don’t think I’ve seen a single player using store bought armor running around. $25 for a single armor is basically another game. No shade if you have bought some but is it common for people to buy them? I’ve never seen stats of how much they sell with these. Some of the sets are really cool but the price is insane. Do you think they’ll ever reduce them to “normal” rates or do enough people (prob whales) buy them that they don’t care about people like me who will never spend $25 for a single transmog outfit?

Shop is quite expensive for what it is offers to players. I'd rather buy games with that money.

Oh, but people ARE paying for those cosmetics. I made the mistake of following a D4 group on facebook and it's just people flexing their cosmetics as if they earned them through gameplay lol.


I can't blame blizzard for offering this if people are lame enough to follow through.

The cosmetic armors in the shop look ugly as sin for the most part. Also, there's not a chance I'd pay for their overpriced cosmetics even if I'd like their looks.

I'd rather have a subscription than those macrotransactions...

I saw a few people with those armors while doing world bosses. I try to ignore skins in games in general. They just try to rip-off gamers these days.

Have you never played Path of Exile? People spend upwards to $400+ on cosmetic packs in that game.

Does anyone really care what their little character's model looks like in this game? :emofdr:

druid has pretty big model but then there is shapeshifting that you see most of time...

looks like blizzard want to copy it

[Mousellina]

if you want an outfit for each character that's more money than the game itself. The heck?

In a month I've purchased horse set, BDSM costume for hunter-rogue, blue ball emote set and Lust costume for the sorc.

Unfortunately, there is nothing else terribly interesting in the store and Blizz do not discount the currency (like it's done in Warframe) so there is nothing more left to buy

[Pain_Train]

I have on battle.net and ill confirm other games are using similar pricing, I cant speak for POE, but Last Epoch has almost identical pricing almost to the cent. I enjoy the armor and I play the game a fair amount so why not buy some cool armor here and there?

[FhqwhTODD]

Bought some but there is a huge imbalance here. Necro gets all the good stuff while Druid and Rogue have terrible cosmetics.

As Sorc is my favourite class I am disappointed with the fancy dresses for my male character. Who thought those were a good idea.

No. I don't support paid cosmetics in full priced games.

So you would want it to be free 2 play with more microntransactions with higher prices? Or want subscription based with full priced expansions with microtransactions?

Devs have to make a living you know, pretty hard to do, when they have to charge less for countries where currency is less valued.

Also it's a live service game, like Division 1-2 or Destiny 1-2

so before microtransactions in full price games, games just made no money right all the studios were destitute? Also no one asked them to make it a live service they did that on their own, i specifically didnt want it to be a live service.

Microtransactions were kinda needed, lots of MMORPG/MMO devs have died. But this sell stupid overpriced cosmetic items doesnt help either. It might work for Blizzard as they are so popular and people are willing to throw money at them, but not for all.

I thikn they gotta give money to players to get the money flow. RMAH was op the right track, but poorly implemented, players exploited the AH.

In a paid game, you should have a way to earn the shop currency. That would also help them keep players. I bought the snake lady outfit, but regretted it after when I realised how small the character is and how stupid I was when I realised I could barely see it. Snake lady armor is really nice though. They should be way cheaper, or...these should be going to this PAID upcoming expansion. Don't you feel like sets aren't in here, because they'd have to design fancy free armor they'd rather sell you for insane prices? That's my theory.

You can earn the shop currency on your dayjob.
