I knew this was coming to be honest, because this kind of crap is frankly typical . . . but why does a skin, which performs no practical application, cost as much as (in some cases more) as standard BPO dropsuit with a practical application? at most they should by $5. This is not some attempt at bartering where I'm going to be satisfied with some compromise in between -- seriously. I'm not paying $10 just to have my suits in a video game look different; you can buy a great older game with probably higher production values for that money (not exaggerating at all). Does CCP have no sense of comparative value or perspective? I miss when micro-transactions used to actually be micro.

$10 is too much for a vanity item.
$5 is acceptable... still high, but acceptable.

it's aesthetics. it's not changing my game or experience, it's changing colors on my ******* screen.
Why am I paying 10 bucks for colors? That's the price of a DLC pack for most games that includes several content. But in Dust - it's ******* colors...? lol?

1) that isn't close the discrepancy between value and price.
2) Target intel still lists tier.

Anyone who's good though doesn't actually care what you look like, they just kill you. If you don't immediately die, they know you aren't in MLT. Also, there's this little thing called target intel....
Seriously, a vanity item shouldn't cost so much lol. But, this is standard fare with CCP, so I'm very far from surprised.

Looking at what I got for two DLC pack for Mario Kart 8 (16AUD).
6 characters, 8 vehicles, 16 tracks and 14 skins across two different characters.
You say 10USD for a single skin?
I love Dust (when I have time to play) and am glad it is monetized, but value for money needs to be of higher priority and focus IMO.

Yeah, 10$ is steep. If it applied to all suite of a race, maybe. But limited to just one race and one tier is too narrow to warrant the cost.

The corner screen that says where some is a Mutton Lettuce Tomato, has a Sexually Transmuted Disease, is A Devout Vegan, or is just a Perverted Randy Ostrich is a lot more obvious than the color of their suits. At least to me.
Aye, 10 bucks for a skin seems steep especially when you consider the value of what you are getting. Riot sells RP for 1,380 for 10 dollars or .00725 cents per RP. This skin costs 975 RP or $7.07 dollars. Sure, you can argue "that is a skin for one guy rather than all Medium/Light/Heavy suits" but the League skin is extremely different, more noticeable because the game is longer and slower so more people can see it, and looks like a lot of effort was put into it rather than just a pallet swap.
Plus, YOU get to actually see the skin.

Of course it hasn't launched yet, it shouldn't for a minimum of another year. Arena Commander is playable though and a **** load of fun, and the FPS module is launching some time soon(tm), as will the remainder of the modules as they're completed.
The amount of updates out of RSI is crazy, and watching 10 For the Chairman and Around the Verse each week is great to be able to keep up to date with their development process. Though, 10 for the Chair is currently down for the next month or so while Chris Roberts is in london directing the Mo Cap filming for Squadron 42

Console peasants don't understand the true meaning of "barely running".
Barely running is setting the graphics to "lump of **** in the vague shape of an object", and still getting 10 fps

By which you mean your small maps of 8 v 8?
Currently Star Citizen has less features implemented than DUST 514.
Call Beta all you want, but that doesn't somehow make the proposed features for the 'full' game any more technically feasible than they are now. Or after looking at [any number of games] do you think FPS will be easy to add to the same battlefield as ship vs ship action in a meaningful way?
Let me ask this: What is the max crew size of the biggest ship currently 'proposed' by Star Citizen?
Now add in a defensive compliment of 1/4 that size as marines, and add in another equal force as boarding.
Factor in the hostile ships that would also have to be in that battle-space, and the crew compliments of that ship.
Then factor in other physically based rendering tricks the game promises such as dynamic oxygen levels, free-form cargo placement, dynamic damage maps, astrometric effects in space, pets, and the countless other features a ship will have.
Now tell me, what does Star Citizen plan to do to let all these features run so easily as to give the required FPS and smoothness that is required for both it's flight model and satisfying FPS play. |

I posted this in the feedback thread as well, but I would be FAR more comfortable with the ~$10 price tag if every week a couple skins went 50% off. I'm willing to wait for a skin to go on sale before buying it for $5, and if the impatient people want to spend $10, then go for it.
This is very typical for F2P models to have regular weekly sales on cosmetic items.

That's not an entirely valid line of logic since existing BPOs, which cost ~$10, will be converted into a SKIN-less BPO and then the associated skin which will have the same capabilities as the new purchased $10. So in short, buying a BPO in the past gives you exactly the same capabilities of the new SKINS, plus a BPO. So in comparison, the new SKINS cost the same but you get less out of them, and I don't think that's entirely appropriate.

I'm not at all saying Star Citizen is going to be a good or bad game. It might be my favorite game of all time. Just don't give it any credit until the stupid thing goes live. We (the gaming community) have been burned time and time again recently by this kind of pre-order, kickstarter, hype train nonsense and I'm tired of it. We all should be.

This kind of attitude is pretty counterproductive and downright annoying. That's like me telling you to not play Dust each time you complain about about a feature of the game, or just to not shield tank whenever you complain about supposed shield vs armor imbalances.

Buying a virtual starship vs buying a computer that can barely run the game.
As apposed to Dust where you have no other choice but to barely run the game. Console peasants don't understand the true meaning of "barely running". Barely running is setting the graphics to "lump of **** in the vague shape of an object", and still getting 10 fps
This reminds me of the tears that my brother in law shed when he tried playing Smite on my wife's computer....
He set the graphics to "lump of **** in the vague shape of an object" and was left with "Smite: The Definitive Stop Motion Animation Edition"

Yeah they still do crap at all in battle apart that you look a bit different. However BPO suits and weapons are more valuable then just a cosmetic item. Im curious how much the stuff will cost in the FW LP store once CCP got their head around implementing it. If i look at the AUR/LP i would guess around 50k LP for a skin.

That does not effect a player deciding to buy a skin at all. I use nothing but caldari and could get a skin that could go on 10 of my caldari medium suits. I decided not to because the price is far to high. To put the type of player I am into perspective I have spend well over 1000 euro on free to play skin content in moba's and other MMO's over the past few years, why have I spend that much? because the content was cheep. 5 euro for a skin that will last me a lifetime.
This is how free to play models work, you charge little and get lots of sales, CCP seems to think they can knock the price up and they'll get (and probably do) one or two people out of hundreds to splash out on the content. its bad marketing. you want players to buy a skin in a free to play game you make sure at least half the players are running around in skins because the price is low. its free advertisement to new players, they get into a match and see players running around in awesome content, they look it up and its only 5 euro. course they'll buy it.
Drop the price down to something reasonable and watch the money roll in CCP. they wont just buy one skin, they'll buy the lot
