Game Currency and Skin Store

[Dragonautxx]

Hi Devs!!

I enjoyed this game a lot from the story, conquest, multiplayer, and even in singleplayer to train my skill. i had finished the conquest of raven to take the achievement and the townhall, then going to start another clan. Then maybe push the rank up on multiplayer. The Points is i have a lot of object to finish now, but when it finished. i will lost any reason to play the singleplayer or conquest again except for multi and just for fun times. but really i want something reward everytime i play this game.

So i have a request for you, can you make the game currency and skin store in the next update or in the future update????

With the skin store it will be awesome to make my fav clan become more unique while playing the game on multiplayer. this idea come when you make "the story warchief and unique townhall obtainable in story and conquest". this really awesome feature. So why not create a store skin and game currency for this game. give a lot of fans reason to play this game a lot even if they are not good enough in multiplayer. make the singleplayer game is rewarding to play x). im gonna short it.

To the points
1. Game currency, it collectiable by win a singleplayer, conquest, or multiplayer. the amount of it is different every type of game or how much the enemy you fight in a single match. let say the currency is a gold. so while we win a match with 3 enemy we will got 30 gold in singleplayer mode, we got a lot in multiplayer like 60 or 45 "because multiplayer game sometime is more hard than singleplayer game". and we got less in conquest because we have a change to get new townhall in conquest mode. this gold can be obtainable even while we play on offline game so for the player who has bad connection or have a lot of time play the game in offline still get the change to collect the gold.
2. Skin store, it where the skin can buy using the game currency "gold". dont put the skin price in low price, make it buyable after winning several match. give the community a change to create a skin to make it available in the store, it will help you guys to get a lot of skin in store.
3. Skin, this skin is not just for the warchief but it will be awesome if the warband, villager and another building still got the new skins. the skin can be like a recolouring of the base shape, a full new shape, or the event shape "winter, halloween, easter egg, etc". make the price of skin is different like recolouring is more cheap than event shape or a new full shape.
4. This request will give you a new reason to make an event, and a reason for the fans to play the game a lot then give them a reward like a skins, because we can show off our cool skin in multiplayer.
5. And dont forget it can make your art team do a lot of job x), for make it better and better again x)

So guys i beg you so much please make a skin to make this game more beautiful and more unique then other RTS games, and give a lot of reason to play it more and more x).

nope... what is great about this game - is the fact that only cosmetics there, must be achieved.. don't destroy last one standing in the market, who don't offer stuff for money (whether game currency or real)

I dont think this will destroy the skin they implemented like the heroes from campaig and conquest skin, because of course that skin is unique. everybody will keep play the conquest and story to get it.

but my point is to expand that skins, to give the player who enjoy the singleplayer get a reward to get another unique skin. a lot of poeple enjoy to collecting skins, my request is to make the skin buyable by a game currency, and the game currency obtainable in the game itself "not a real money" so its look like a bonus reward for player who keep play the game more and more.

like what i said "make the singleplayer game is rewarding to play". while we still got the fun but we got the gold too, to get the new skins.

and it will give the change to dev add an event on northgard for keep their game a live and increase their player base. because this game have a lot potensial to be bigger than now

The game is growing and haven't stopped since. There is no need for it. I get what you've presented here and I am saying that Northgard is probably the last game, which does not amplify events and certain period of times to play and get more.. That is absolutely great, no need to destroy another game with in game currency. What the game needs is balance. Don't destroy the fact that its enjoyable to play at any given time.

In game currency brings real money into the shop. Whether to buy more currency or items themselves.

I am all for implementing more cosmetics, but not in "game shop"....

An idea for those could be:

your rank (villager,warchief,Jarl,......) emblem portraited on buildings such as military camp

Each clan's emblem (10 wins, 25 wins, 50 wins) could be portrayed as a small cosmetics for defense tower (or townhall) such as small bronze/silver/golden emblem on the building



build upon what is already in the game, don't make them change stuff from scratch because you want to make your buildings purple or smth

This is RTS game, aimed for multiplayer (which is why it definitely needs balancing rather than cosmetics...) you need to understand that.

To praise the developers, there are already rewards for every mode you play (war chief skins, town hall skins, ranked league town halls) -> it is much more than most RTS would ever care to add... Enjoy what is there and try to reach for more...

I doubt you've unlocked everything from warchiefs, through townhalls to being in rimesteel league... right? Instead of asking for more, try to reach what is already there :)

Cosmetics reward for the clan emblem and rank is really good idea.

I dont think if the dev will implemented the game currency, then they make the game currency buyable by real money, because this not free to play game at least.

If you think this will make them change the stuff from scratch, i dont think so.
the new skin can be like a variant color of the base shape of mesh, or something like a new outfit for the heroes or warchief "for everyone who still not able finish the campaig in extreme, like say a noob who like play the game" or adding a accessories to building. This just expand their art to be more.

Yup this RTS game which aimed for multiplayer, but because this is multiplayer game adding more skin will be awesome. Of course the balance of every clan and why not bring skin too.

I was got her warchief and townhall skin for my fav clan raven, and unlock the stag. and now on reaching kraken while still up rank on multiplayer. x) and i know that i still need do more play especially on multiplayer to reach the rimsteel.

The favor can be for anyone who was reach that all, then give them a new skin that can be collectiable by playing single or more multiplayer will be a reward for them, and keep them play.

if you fear when the dev bring the game currency into the game and make them buyable by real money, i trust they will not do that because they always listening every idea from the community and not a kind of greed dev.

Not all games should require a grind to obtain rewards. Certainly not an RTS. Grinding should stay firmly in the realm of MMOs - and perhaps JRPGs.

If you NEED a reward to play the game, perhaps you should consider that you need a break or you need some other games. Playing the game in and of itself should be the reward.

Needing a reward implies the game isn't really fun. Hence, you might think to yourself "why am I doing this, what is in it for me". That isn't something you think about when you play a fun game.

I'd take a break if you are falling into that mentality. Truly.

That funny what you say, yeah maybe i need to take some break x)
i got your point the fun is the reward of course, and im enjoy this game a lot. because the RTS mechanice is really for my playstyle. so relaxing and challanging.

It should not to be grind, yeah maybe like win 5 or 6 match we got a new skins for the clan.
If you compared it with the grind on MMOs it will be weird. Because grind on MMOs is the main feature of that game and they must be at a lot of grind. my suggestion on here is just for essential so doesnt need to be the core of game. because its just skins

if the dev then really put the skin system, they definitely will make this just essential. But really the impact of skin its a lot for the fun of player who really like the art of this game.
Like someone who just buy the game and got an information that he\she can use the heroes skin for his gameplay on single and multiplayer only after finish the story on extreme and completed the bonus objectives, then they will keep try to finish it even its so hard for them. so that the impact, because they get more fun with the reward.

i play this game after work and holiday, and a lot in offline because the connection problem.
really i play this game to out of stress, because this really help a lot and i got the fun even i got more fun while playing other game like brawlhalla. But for a relaxing game this really fun game. so for the mentality im fine while playing this game x)
because this game never make me upset or on angry time because the challange.

There is also the factor that these skins don't come out of thin air. There is manpower involved.

I'd prefer that the artists supporting the dev team work on the dev team's new content, rather than working on skins for a store or for grinding. They can't work on both at the same time (and if they do, one gets partially sacrificed for the other).

Adding new things to current content, fixing pre-existing content, and adding new content should be the priority IMO. And for Shiro, they seem to have this down-pack.

Rehashing old content shouldn't happen until 15 years from now when Northgard gets remastered.

One exception to this could be - for example - if another game-mode came out like conquest. I'd personally prefer more features be added to current game-modes but this isn't outside the realm of possibility. A reward for that new game-mode could potentially be skins, similar to the reward for completing the campaign on hard.

TL;DR - making skins would be a distraction (however minute) from making new content. And since new content from the devs tends to enhance the game far more than a few skins does, new content>new skins as far as improving the game goes.

That true, it will give them a lot of job. And will need a lot manpower.

But i really wish after they are really finished adding all the new content they planned, they will start looking to skins. Because this is awesome thing.

But if they can make it happend while still creating a new content to the game it will a miracle gift, especially for me. Because they are make it happend so fast x)

[aplethoraof]

Creating skins doesn't seem like it should be as high as a priority as:
-Creating new content for Northgard.
-Or creating new content for other, equally awesome games.

Unless they have some bored modellers on an off-day who are looking to cook something up (and bored people doesn't often happen in a small company - there is always something to do), I can't see this being a good use of time.

Instead of skins, modding would be better. This way, it doesn't take away from the dev's time. Plus it is always fun to see what kind of passion projects players cook up.

Actually implementing mod-support is a HUUUUUUUUUGE amount of time and effort needed by the dev, specailly if it is done post-launch. Depending on how the game is written, it could potentially require as good as a complete rewrite of the game from the ground up
