What can i expect to look like at higher levels ?

[Elysioo]

And i'm asking this WITHOUT including any microtransaction stuff, spending 100 bucks for one set of armor isn't for me, neither spending hundreds of hour to look like a potato sack

[Phobos]

You might still look the same, but your character will change as you get differant types of gear. Its just around 60 usd not '100 bucks' ;)

[Elysioo]

I haven't checked the mtx much, i know an armor bundle is 40, but including the wings and other stuff we get to 100 pretty quickly right ?

[Phobos]

Well sometimes they go on sale so if you just take the armour set on a sale it could be around 30usd. Then you just add the wings and whatnots later on as they also go on sale... yes you are right if you take everything at once, sure its easily 60+ usd.

Those are good and they include all of the game's ost's going back the initial release, right?

You ll lock like sht probably, some items are nice but its not like you can pick what you want, each build needs specific items and most, like 95% of armors and stuff like REALLY bad, im playing a righteous fire build marauder and i look really badass with the kaoms heart and kaoms roots, all glowy and fire around me, kinda nice, but its the first time i actually like how i look.

Other than that, you ll probably have so many effects on your toon that you wont even see the armor, take the raider for example, you ll look like a ghost 99% of the time so doesnt matter wich items you have equipped, same applies for most characters, all the auras and skills wont allow you to see your character at all.

I only buy the supporter packs and use the points i get for chests (mostly when there is buy one get another one for free) or other things i might need.

If you like it enough and you think the game deserves it, you can get a supporter pack.
They have bills to pay anyway

Another thing is that you barely ever pay attention to your characters look. Often its overwhelmed by skill visuals and what not, i use ice crash and only see my character out of combat or moving (the capes are nice)

[Awesome!]

you will look like a potato sack most likely.

this is the one way the game makes money. they need you to look like a potato sack so you sit there saying "damn i really want those wings." otherwise they would probably need to sell stuff like experience boosters which would be absolutely horrible.

they do give you the opportunity to get 3 mtx for free every league so eventually your characters can look cool for free if you play enough.

Depends on the gear you have on

[Romeo Deluxe]

MTX only helps you look like a shiny sparkly winged potatoe sack

Your characters will look like garbage unless you spend $100+ USD for one armor skin. They also sell $60 skins, but those look like garbage as much as the default skins which are free.

They know how to make good-looking skins, but they won't sell them for a reasonable price.

I.e:

For $240 USD you can look like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocPErI08POs

And for $480 USD, you can look like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9k1J-hl6n4

Yes, that is true but...the reason people buy it is for the set of good-looking armor. Most of the other stuff bundled with it are things that people don't want very much, but must pay for anyway in order to get the armor. For example, someone who wants to buy Dominator armor and nothing else for $60 cannot do that (even though $60 for one skin would still be way overpriced). That's a coercive way to do business.

They do make the armor MTX's peice by peice after each league(or bundle just the one set). Just wait after the league.

MTX from supporter packs are limited time only and will not sold anymore when the time is up.
