Weekly sales on Mercs?


(justLatte) #1

Why isn’t there a weekly sale on certain Mercs? The only thing stopping me from spending a few bucks right now is because I usually wait for stuff to go on sale. This is like the only F2P game with a store that doesn’t have any weekly sales. The bundles don’t really work, it seems like you would give an incentive for people to spend a few dollars. Specially when Spark came out, could have done a %25 off price for that starting week. Good gestures like this will keep players in the long run, which in turn makes them long time customers. I didn’t see a suggestion board, hopefully this is a right place to post this.

A weekly sale on mercs and nobody would buy them at the normal price. Anybody who did buy them at normal price would ask for the difference back in a refund when it did go on sale.

Besides, they are WAY too few mercs to do a sale system like that imho.

And then there is the issue of if a merc is on sale does the bundle they are in get a similar discount to make up for the merc price difference?

tbh, I don’t feel like a regular sale is needed. The incentive to spend money is shiny and speed up a grind. If you have any plans at all to play this game long term then there is no real reason to spend $$$. Credits will come fairly easily and the free rotation exists as well to get help players not get bored of only Aura and Skyhammer.

Well we already have a weekly 40% off sale on Proxy, Arty, Sawbones, and Vassili… every week.

See @Ardez and @absorbedPen

This is why i hate these ‘insightful / disagree /agree /dislike / like / lol’ system… People simply dunno how to use em…
Its more or less like ‘HEY, he doesnt share my opinion , must dislike it’…instead of disagree !
This stupid system must be removed !

well mabe when more mercs are released there may be a need for a sale option… but atm the amount of mercs are way to few… even if we put 1 merc on sale every 2 weeks we couldnt get pass an entire year… but if and when we do eventually get 35+ mercs this would be a good idea…

Oh look, another thread where people try to save money on a free game.

Do you hate the game? Why are you trying to ruin the devs lives?

The game isn’t even released yet. And there was already a bundle sale.


(Daergar) #8

Because the game is not out of beta. Because bundles are already a relative bargain. Because… nevermind.

I disagree. Enjoy playing for free.

nothing wrong with temporary sales. Imo best time for sale would be the first few days of free rotation: you can dish out less $$$ but get to keep the merc afterwards. Also allows people to try the mercenary, so they don’t get to feel ripped off just cause they dont like the merc.
