Not long ago Starter Pack featured 5 mercs (Arty, Proxy, Fragger, Sawbonez and Vasili) and used to cost $10. Now it costs $30 ! They renamed it to Ultimate Starter Pack, increased the credits (50 000, enough for one merc) and added two elite cases.
New bundles:
Explosives - $15
Fragger, Nader, Fletcher
Deployables - $15
Proxy, Bushwacker, Sawbonez (??)
Sharpshooter - $15
Vasili, Kira, Arty
At this rate, don’t hold your breath for a $30 bundle with all mercs… or even a $60 one!
*deployables costs 20
for the others lets say 5 bucks for each merc plus 2 elite cases for free. Imho its still quite expensive.Edit: I think 5 bucks per merc is the standard price most other f2p games. I am still thankful there are no rentals ^^
Well I understand the need to get some money, cause atm there is not that much content to monetize. Let aside the merc prices, the elite cases are too expensive.
Prices of Booster and Elite cases are very expensive. When I think of cs go where you get a case and key of a maximum of 2 bucks.
For example:
3 bucks for Elite case or make elite cases slightly more elite; And maybe introduce a new kind of case which is cheaper.
2 bucks for cheapest booster, then 4 for 12h booster, 6 for 18h; Then you can still do a 24h booster for 8. (I know the growing cost efficiency is missing)
A wider spectrum of prices is needed, because low price range is kinda missing.
I think I’ll just forget about any bundles and merc buying, then. No bundle has the mercs I like. Perhaps Explosives - Fletcher and Nader, but I already got Fragger for free. I like having an interesting option (ability/weapon) for each situation. Those new bundles are quite redundant, their abilities overlap quite a bit. Example: I want one medic, one engy, one Red Eye for covering pushes. But not necessarily with Starter Pack, because there are already tons of people with those mercs and that’s boring.
I can afford 1 merc now (70k credits), waiting for Red Eye and Phoenix to be released.
Keep in mind some of us are unemployed, and they convert $10 into 10 EUR, that’s quite a bit more expensive.
Sadly, the credit system in this game is getting to a decent state. But the pricing, especially for things that are RNG (elite cases), is in the EXTREMELY scummy F2P territory anymore. It’s so funny that one side of the coin seems fairly reasonable and the other is outrageous.
so things to enhance your gameplay are easy but shiny new boots are expensive, works for me
How about a bundle that makes sense ?
Feminist Bundle
Proxy, Nader, Aura, Kira, Aimee, Sparks
20 unique haircuts
10 new earrings
67 new lipstick colors
Intended for female players. I know some girls play this game. They prefer to play as female characters. The easiest way to not be a dick is to not have one.
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to jazevec again.
lol, you really don’t want to know what my 2 girls thought of your idea, I think it might be physically impossible for primates
And if the bundle is too big, another approach is possible:
Blonde Bundle
Nader, Sparks, The Unannounced Merc
Brunette-ish Bundle
Proxy, Kira, Aimee
