Think twice before spending lots of cash on limited skins

I'm guessing it's not a T5 skin though. So it won't transform, but will likely just be an alternate final form?

Its just the final form, no transformations and archon is still a "trophy" for veteran players

Not Archon Thanatos... Similar model to the final Archon form, but it doesn't evolve and is demonic themed.

Note that it costs 80000 FP, an amount that is almost impossible to achieve even if you spend a lot of money on FP packs. I highly doubt more than 10 players will have that skin unless they reduce the price for it.

I'm guessing it won't include previous seasons FP, though that would be a way to reward older players who missed Archon Thanatos if they did.

yes it only costs 80k points...
Arrancar Jan 18, 2018 @ 9:44pm 
Lmao 80k? it was 40k before, also they increased all level rewards as well. Seems like even with all 3 split tickets you are not certain to get it.
Well, cool, so we have T5 skin with transformation to look awsome at final form, but hey, it is limited, so we will add another skin, nearly recolor it, and throw it in a mix. FOR GOD SAKE, WHY? I have Archon, and i'm proud of it, cause as i see it it is the best skin so far, and now i see this? It doesn't matter how much it cost, it is, in fact, exclusive (and again, EXCLUSIVE, so it can be added later on in chests and other things) RECOLOR of T5 LIMITED skin. Hey, i want swc zeus limited skin, can you make him *uckin green and add him? And maybe some more skins that was the point of throwing a lot of money for ward skins away?

Well, it might be exlusive but limited to Fantasy Points purchasing.
Normally yes, it means they will add it to chests in future. But the FP purcahsing will be a new thing, and might leave some exclusive things isolated to that.

The issue is not in that. The problem is: with this skin throw it is possible, and only possible, i'm totaly not saying that this will be with all the limited skins, but the Hi-Res can slightly aler the way Every limited skin look, and add it. Doesn't matter to what is isolated to, it say, that all the money we, as consumers, throw in for the benefit to get something, that will never again be avalible anymore, and this odessey was the first one, with 7 ward skins, 6 for 200 gems and 1 for 300, 2 avatars, and chronos 64 skin that no one enjoy, it was good amount of money invested, to see awsome skin in action. If there was a way to start with final evolution of archon skin, i would start with it, but this is a drawback, and i'm fine with it. So, now, to summ it up, every t5 skin have a chance to be rerelised, slightly altered, in final gloryous form, and without tons of money investments. It is ok? I don't see so, and i feel like they spit on the the money I spent on the game, and add the reward that i'm proud of to anyone who want it. That is not fun at all

It was 80k all along, but hirez enjoys ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up.
The fp gained is going to depend on how long the match is, and considering this is the final reward, just like the griffindwarf faf or dr vanus sylv, it should be obtainable, hard, just like the old ones, but possible, we need to know how much fp you can per match

I see what you are saying.

However, it is not the same skin.
It isn't a T5 skin, so isn't as impressive (imo), and I assume less work has gone into it as a result (only having to do 1 skin/voice rather than several).
Archon Thanatos skin will never be available again, so you still have the reward that no (newer) players will get.
But, if it just looks like a recolour, then I could see it as a problem.

They could add an Angelic Anubis skin and it would be fine too (again, not the same skin, as long as it's not too close to a recolour).

Archon, as the first t5 skin, have No exclusive emote, no evolving voice pack, no map-size special effect. All it have is- evolution and limitation as a skin. So, Archon is evolving from his simple, less beautiful form, into his best angel-like form, so his final form is the best one, agree? If there was a way to skip all forms and get the final one from the start, will it be good? I guess so. So, as it is, the "new" skin is a better skin, And i guess that NEW skin will definitly have special emote. I have no idea about his loading screen avatar, so even there it might be better. So, we have better skin, that is Slight revamp of the best form of limited skin, with new emote, new loading avatar, and it is less casty then full odyssey 2015 (8150 gems)

It doesnt have any emotes or anything, the only thing it has is a weird sound when you walk
