Blueprints are worse than crates

[1SlimShaney]

So you know exactly what you're going to get when you unlock an item now. Cool, I guess. Except now you can't unlock items without paying. At least with crates you could get keys without buying them or the season pass. But credits? No, you cant get them without buying them or the season pass. So what good has been done with the new blueprints update? None. One problem may have been solved, but another has been created. Great job.

got keys without buying them. mods over here avoiding facts. the credits awarded with the rocket pass are a joke and items purchased from blueprints are insanely overpriced. the devs gave us a real " f u" solely bc their european consumer base has crap laws. now the u.s. base has to deal with an absolute joke of a cash grab. the fact they copied fortnite says a lot about where their priorities are...

The same went for keys. They didn't appear out of nowhere, all keys in circulation were purchased at one point or another.

It was possible to obtain keys without buying them, every 10 Rocket pass levels awarded a key. Now with the new blueprints, you cant get any items without paying some amount of money.

This is exactly the point I wanted to make. I can't imagine to pay over 20 euros for a set of wheels. Why do they cost 10x more than the Jurassic Park DLC before it was REMOVED from the Steam Store as we speak? It's just one accesory. ONE! Can somebody please make a ''This is brilliant, but I prefer this'' meme with the base game on the right and a set of bling bling wheels on the left? This is just meme material at this point.

I have bought a fair amount of the DLC cars in the past, (which all seem to no longer be available), and that is the extent to which I will pay money after game purchase. The blueprint is great if you are someone who wants to spend hundreds of dollars on cosmetic items, but they kinda took it and ♥♥♥♥ on the people who aren't going to pay up.

if they didn't want you trading, they would have just removed trading from the game.

They just chose terrible prices for items.

converted ~300 crates to blueprints: 1 black market item (wet paint). 10/10 will spend 25 bucks to build

damn thats insane. weren't the original crates rigged tho? read some things about people getting black market items around the 50th crate and that also seemed to be the case for me.

No matter how you spell it out, this is clearly price manipulation on Psyonix's part and it's blowing up in their faces. People aren't happy because it isn't exactly what they promised. Blueprints looked good before the release, before people knew what the absurd prices were going to be, now it's worse than even gambling and has thrown the entire trading community through a loop. Good way to collapse the game's economy by the way...

Blueprints are exactly like crates for the random items you get except you don't have to pay a single dime unless you want the blueprint crafted into the item. Unlike crates however, these items are far more expensive and much worse. They may not be considered gambling, but this is basically what gambling does, cheats you out of your money. Just one rare decal that I have as a blueprint costs twice as much as it would have been to open one singular crate.

This update is a complete cash scam and an ABSOLUTE FAILURE.
It's not being received well and I've seen Reddit posts, Tweets, and other stuff on social media that points toward them opposing Psyonix for this and the number of them is high. Since there's so many subreddit posts about the outrageous prices, Psyonix moved to censor or remove the posts so it wouldn't completely fill up their front page. I don't see this dying down anytime soon and I can see the company losing a lot more money than they invested into this update.

For some of you, it's not a matter of "if" they start to lose money, it's a matter of "when" from here on out.

Yes we in the EU are sorry for looking to ban loot boxes, the same loot boxes that in many cases were directly aimed at kids and are a form of gambling.

You in the US have terrible consumer laws, do you like GDRP and that you get a choice on how your data is used? Well that was an EU law brought in.

Now if they only realized what the actual value of the default items were an how it depreciates over time.

actually sounds about right for me too, just no more bm blueprints after that! and guess what since then, i've had 4 black market blueprint drops and under 10 non-bm drops. hilarious!
