Okay, real talk, what is going on here? Why are FW SKINs the same price as an APEX? It's a paint job, for chrissakes.
Let's put this into perspective, shall we? Depending on who your favorite faction is, we are talking about weeks of grinding for the ability to turn your dropsuit a different color. First AUR SKINs are $20 and now this.
Some more cost analysis for you... if you want to run a SKIN on every size dropsuit of your favorite race: 30mil ISK + 300k LP
Even for Minmatar FW, that's a good bit of grinding.

Sure, but having it the same as an APEX suit is pretty silly.

Yeah you're probably right, the apex will be more useful, because it isn't the calmando...

If it was a 'master' print that could fit all size suits, maybe. Hell, the Light only effects basic and Scout, kind of crazy.. I looked forward to getting one, not anymore though, I'll buy another LP suit for that cost..

I got barely 2000LP (lvl8) for winning fights on behalf of my beloved Gallente federation. Currently, that means I need to win 50 fights for the gallente federation. And it's not like FW was popular. After all, there is no domination in FW...

That would have denoted commitment without causing FW SKINs to cost this much.
I am glad that the FW SKINs are not available for aurum though. That is a good thing.
Unfortunately, in order to grind for them FW boosters are required so, in effect, they still require aurum.

When you wear that very particular suit, yes, it will be impressive. Problem is I switch between multiple size and race of suits... Picking one is impossible, and unless I want to grind forever and a day, it just seems fruitless to not get another LP suit..

CCP Rattati wrote:it was commonly requested that it would be hard to earn them, I agreed I also agree.
But when thinking about it, i agree because APEX-style suits are so damaging to the game, allowing players to put significant force ad infinitum onto the field without running much of an ISK risk. Personally i'd rather see them priced at $100.
We know from past experience that peeps will run even STD BPOs to avoid/ensure ISK loss/profit. Expanding on better-than-standard BPO dropsuits and adding fitting flexibility(CPU/PG differences notwithstanding) takes players out of Dust's risk-vs-reward ecology.
Dust is going to pay a price in immersion for these APEX dropsuits, New Eden is going to be pushed a little farther away from us. What is it CCP gains from APEX? What is it Dust gains from APEX? What is it New Eden gains from APEX?
Personally, i'll run ISK dropsuits. Risk vs. reward is what makes Dust different. Looks to me like CCP wants to take the brutal edge off that equation. That's a loss of courage and a lack of faith in what Dust was intended to be. You guys are in danger of re-marketing this unique product all the way to uninteresting.
Edit: Apologies, wrong thread/topic, but i'll leave it here anyway. Visual customization is cool and i'm totally neutral on pricing. The above comment was sparked by the APEX model being forced on the game.

I think apex suits are ok but the customization is a slippery slope. It's cool but I think they need to keep a close eye on them. Also would love some comment on how apex suits fit with advanced or proto weapons contribute to isk payout and salvage. |

This doesn't sting nearly as much to you since you have been grinding Amarr FW for months before today. Imagine if you had less than 5k Amarr LP, like many players. Put yourself in their boots. 100k Amarr LP is a long, hard road for a SKIN*.
There are prices that would have preserved the rarity of the SKINs while not causing near-psychotic-breaks and self harm.
*: Which is, let's face it, just a paintjob. It's not anything wondrous or amazing. Just a cool color for your merc's dropsuit.

So basically I can pay a tiny fraction of my isk instead of going for faction progression >_>
I don't accept that you view buying a skin for isk on the same level that someone spent weeks/months of grinding to be able to purchase
edit:what about a compromise, 60k lp + whatever isk, but you cant trade them?

I am hoping that some day we will see new skins for faction that are awarded automatically at reaching a certain standing. This would go farther for immersion just because you would really want to grind them up and show them off on the way into battle.
These skins should be locked to your character meaning only a properly ranked individual can sport them.
I would not even care if they were all just the same design with a different helmet or something. |

The Price seems to be "high" but is a reward for fight with your facction. the proudly of show your colors to the enemy.
Maybe if Rattati low 50K lp and up to 20,000,000 ISK ... could work, because is only a paint job. not bonuses...
And if you wanna trade it, could sell it more that 30M -40M.

Skins should cost half what they do currently in the LP store and somewhat less for the aurum variants. 50k LP and 5mil isk is more than reasonable. And seriously, 23800 aur for a cosmetic item? First the price is weird on them so I can't even buy more than one with a $20 PSN card. I have aurum I can't even spend on a second skin because of that. Second, I don't know you know about this ratatti, but when CCP tried this in eve, monocle gate and Burn Jita happened.

Next you just need to add glow effects to all of the non-SKINed suits...a radiant sphere that you can see before the player comes around the corner, that way SKINs will be essential for competitive play. Profit.

Why it is commonly requested - I think it's because really yong people(I think we have them more here then 25y+) have tendency to justify time they spend on game with excuse like 'it was so hard to accomplish x, so all this time was worth it, I have something epic now and I can be proud of it', it's naive.
To all: If you are person that consider in-game price of those SKIN's as expensive, just instead of griding it for 1-2 or 8 days go to job, earn 1kGé¼, buy 12 plex'es for Gé¼210, transfer ISK from them to Dust, and when time come buy them for fraction of the LP market price .
In the most basic form SKIN's are just e-peen.

While I agree that the prices of skins in general are probably too high. In the case of FW LP skins, you're buying a trophy. It's to show off to other players how committed you are to your faction. It gives no other bonus other than demonstrating your ability to grind for your faction. It reminds me of epic weapons in Guild Wars 2, which literally are just skins that look cool and people spend insane hours working on those. The cheaper you make skins, the less special you get to feel when you wear it. I don't really care how much LP they cost, but like I said, the cheaper they are, the more you'll see, and the less of a "trophy" they are.

I'm not into the skin thing personally (though I'm glad they added them for those who are). If we took the "cheapening the LP cost" to it's extreme what if they cost 100LP each? Most people wouldn't like that either because they'd be everywhere. It's a scale, the higher the LP cost the more special you get to feel by wearing it, the lower the less special. I'm just saying the value of a skin as a trophy is that it's hard to get. 50k LP + 5mil might very well be appropriate.

Entirely content with the cost of skins and apex suits. These are not handouts, nor are they meant to be something that you derp around for 10 matches to get.
If you want your skins and apex suits, you should be working for them.... or as I've seen some people do, be prepared to spend a few hundred matches afking through faction warfare.

No, it isn't. I get 1600 a win without any boosters for caldari. That's a grand total of 31 wins per skin and I can easily get 10-15 wins IN A DAY if I'm going hard at it. That would make it take less than a week for me to have all the caldari FW skins.
100k per skin is entirely fine.

If you are running Gallente or Minmatar then 300k LP isn't much of a hurdle since the greatest challenges Gal/Min FW has to face are long wait times and figuring out where to spend their LP

Yes, amarr and caldari are usually a shitshow and I'm aware that my results are not 'typical. That's got a lot more to do with the nature of faction warfare than anything else.
I do feel however, that skins being priced as highly as they are is a good thing as it gives a motivation to play faction warfare even if there isn't necessarily something like an apex suit that you want. Most people will agree that the price of FW weapons / equipment is absolutely borked and not worth the time, This however provides incentive to people who aren't Omni-soldiers that want all the things.
I am incredibly glad that it will take even someone like me at least a few weeks to get all the LP skins for my primary faction (Not to mention my alt) rather than just having it be a meaningless 'achievement' that people can check off after a week or two.
Yes, it's a '****** progression treadmill'... only if you don't enjoy the slog.

I fail to see how these skins will make people suddenly play faction warfare more, as if they are more desirable than apex..which anyone wanting has already been doing. |

Players who are interested in earning the SKINs will play a handful of matches like they are srsbiz. If they are Amarr or Caldari, getting stomped will wear on them. Eventually grind fatigue sets in. If they still want the SKIN they will semi-AFK, halfass around the match. Hacking unattended objectives or dropping deployable equipment here and there for WPs. Maybe blow up red turrets for their daily missions.
The high price tag on FW SKINs could end up being more of a detriment to FW attendance...

A sense of progression, accomplishment or even something to work towards as a goal can provide a reason for doing something. I agree that isk coming back will also help (if it's a non-idiotic amount).

I figured they would be about the same cost as an Loyalty Apex suit. That's why I went ahead and bought another apex last week.
Honestly, I dont even like the look of any of the Main faction skins anyway. No loss. (Now that blood raiders on the other hand....)

Yey! I have to grind a few months to get a Caldari M SKIN...
Not only THAT, I can get at most 3 hours a week in game. To get one game of CFW, it would take let's say 5 minutes que time, with each battle lasting 15 minutes. What is that, 6 battles a week? Let's assume I win all the battles (for real? Cal?), at most I get ~7-8,000 LP. It could take 12 weeks of grinding assuming I get a battle within 5 minutes of queue and win all of them.

Give to us ISK on FW battles, give to us FW from 18 GMT....
... and we will play FW ;)
We still get more ISK for proto fits from play domi/ambush etc.
We have to wait about 15-20 minutes to play ONE FW battle, in this time we can play two public battles and earn more ISK....
Good day!

That's because Evil doesnt win :P
Anyways, to the OP and Ratatti, SKINS are too much if they are anywhere near the price of APEX Dropsuits. I'd go utilitarian by buying an APEX before I get something that just makes you "look cool."
I didn't really pay attention to the price of SKINS, but if its close to, or worse, exactly the same price as, an APEX, its no wonder I've never seen a SKIN from the LP Market.
Players did want aesthetics for their suit, but we aren't willing to pay through the nose for it.
TL;DR:
In the battle of Aesthetic vs. Utilitarian: Aesthetics < Utilitarian, so the prices should show that.

Just think about it on the flipside of things. Since apex suits became costumisable the request for them is extremely high and once we can trade BPO's i highly doubt it that the players will pay the same amount of ISK for a skin as if they would for a apex suit. Suits and weapons help you to win matches skins on the other hand dont cause of the pure cosmetic purpose. I can allready predict the ISK worth ranking from BPO's:
1. APEX SUITS 2. BPO WEAPONS 3. BPO MODULES 4. BPO EQUIPMENT 5. STD BPO SUITS 6. SKINS
You have to keep in mind that people will compare those skins to their AUR counterparts. And since the AUR skins are much cheaper then the apex suits its obvious that people wont pay nearly as much for them.
It all comes down aswell on the 3 factors that determine the ISK trade pricetag:
1. is it usefull? 2. would i use it frequently? 3. how much would it cost for AUR?
Only because a item is rather hard to obtain doesnt mean that people want it. A reasonable pricetag would be 50k LP due to the rather low activity in FW. PLus it would somewhat match the price for AUR skins.
Bright is the opposite of dark! Who would have thought of that?!

I agree. I might be part of the problem. Compared to 100k LP, 23k AUR all of the sudden sounded like a bargain.
I'll spend my Caldari LP on a logi, and cover it with gold darkness... http://i.imgur.com/6gB8fFF.jpg
Yes, the SKIN is covered in gold darkness, somehow, and I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't going to spend money, but I'm glad I did. I'm going to be upset if they tweak my cosmetics after I paid for cosmetics specifically, but until then I'll be hiding in the shadows.

Will have to grind a lot for Amarr SKINs since Iam EU timezone, and Amarr FW is hard to get here, harder to win, but all worth it. People complaining on not getting it for 50k LP and less are simply lazy and impatient. They forget, that more SKINs will be released they can purchase for AUR and such. All people want is have it all, have it now, have it for dirt cheap as possible. But all this does is making it all worthless...keep the pricing as it is, let them grind it out or get different SKINs later altogether or purchase them from others once they can be traded. |

This doesn't sting nearly as much to you since you have been grinding Amarr FW for months before today. Imagine if you had less than 5k Amarr LP, like many players. Put yourself in their boots. 100k Amarr LP is a long, hard road for a SKIN*. There are prices that would have preserved the rarity of the SKINs while not causing near-psychotic-breaks and self harm. *: Which is, let's face it, just a paintjob. It's not anything wondrous or amazing. Just a cool color for your merc's dropsuit.
Satisfying the Empress requires a long and hard job which is why Amarrians, like myself, of superior stamina are required. That's how I earned my 200,000+ LP, as a consort.
I've made the recent realisation that the second best thing about being Amarrian is all the innuendo you can casually drop into conversation.
Also do consider Riley that Aero and I were running AFW for months before LP even offered LP and were were significantly more active then than we are able to be now.

Not nearly as long as it takes to get 10k LP Gallente. Cue times are ridiculous and you can't even grind out matches before 5pm CST. so you have a small window of time in which you can actually run any faction. The price for skins are outrageous.

its too cheap. sorry i'm not trolling but it is. an apex at that price fair enough but skins should be like a medal that shows you grinded your back out for that faction and no way do i want to get one or three and see noobs have one too. Will it help FW? already has as far as Caldari's STF and Gallentes LE are concerned. in two nights of organised mentality ive got 50,098 LP for cal state. No boosters, just joining a channel of q-sinc players and following there FC's orders, winner winner chicken dinner, as for isk just save 10 keys and cash in your experimental lab. by the time you have the LP from 5 days of hardcore bopping you should have 10 mill in Officer/experimental gear, if not while FW isnt rolling run pubs in starters. Its easily possible to grab a suit in 5 days of joining a FW channel and listening to the people running the show.
What We Need Is Daily Missions that reward isk for FW players, ie complete 5 FW matches for any faction and get 150,000 isk, get X amount of WP or SP in FW earns you 200,000 etc.
Factional is building up, its going to be keeping people there thats the problem.

I have to ask myself, are SKINs this highly priced to encourage FW booster sales? That seems to be the only reason that makes sense, considering player feedback seems to indicate they want more affordable SKINs but CCP Rattati is ignoring them.

Unless the coloration is gaudy (see: Quafe or APEX) I rarely, if ever, notice someone is wearing a SKIN. The SKINs are most important to the wearer, as they will actually see the SKIN the most often. As one of those wearers: I could give less than a damn about how many 100's of thousands of LPs it took to earn the FW SKINs, I just want a neat paintjob for my dropsuits.
The majority of players want FW SKINs to be more easily attained, Rattati. What are you going to do about that?

SP is passively accrued even if you never login to your character. LP is not. You are not comparing apples to apples here.
Boosters are absolutely part of the equation. Triple stack FW boosters then AFK in FW matches and still earn 500-ish LP per match. Occasionally your team might earn a win which will increase your Standing and earn you even more LP for that match. Minimal effort. The "It represents hard work! It's a badge of honor!" argument is null.

Yeah, broken mechanics, but lets talk solutions instead of the pain, as I think FW players behavior speaks for itself. I don't go in alone, I have a squad put together of corpmates. Sometimes it's just one other person, other times I have a full time, but I do not solo queue FW. I know better than that.
I hate that queue syncing is the only way to consistently earn victories in FW. That seems like a huge flaw in the gamemode itself. Which makes the idea of saving up 100k LP more infuriating.
Also, for those who are just now joining the thread, please cast your vote: https://strawpoll.me/4341661 Is the 100k LP + 10mil ISK price for FW SKINs fair? Should it be decreased? Increased? Let your voice be heard.

I hate that queue syncing is the only way to consistently earn victories in FW. That seems like a huge flaw in the gamemode itself. Which makes the idea of saving up 100k LP more infuriating.
To some degree I do as well.....but in its current iteration this is just how it is since locality cannot be chosen and FW should be less forgiving than Public Match Making.
I mean I can go out plexing in EVE, which is what flips the systems, solo if I want to and can go flying around looking for PvP solo as well. However I cannot and should not ever complain if a small gang of players flying around in the same area drops in on me and blows my ship up. I either should have run from the fight or been in my own squad.
However in Dust there is no real way to run and go plexing elsewhere or in a safer, more limited plex, other than leaving the match and trying to re-queue.

The problem with comparing FW in Eve and Dust is that you can choose your level of engagement in Eve to an extent. In Dust you either get participate in the stomp or are stomped. I don't see even matches. Which brings up a good question: Did the matchmaking update get applied to FW? Probably not considering it would add to the already high wait times.
There also isn't an incentive to stay and fight for your faction. New players have a standing 0 with every faction. When they lose a match (which will happen a lot) they will earn 200-ish LPs and 0 Standing. What is the incentive to stay, exactly? Why would anyone play for the faction that loses as often as the Amarr/Caldari?

So yesterday my small sync (only 8 at the time) bumped into a near full Minmatar sync. We played it out, made some good pushes, but ultimately never had a chance. Next match we get deployed against the same people, and realizing this cycles would go on, we leave match to get out of sync with them. Some may call it cowardly or poor sport or whatever, but it's really picking your battles. Syncs going to sync, better for your faction to ensure the other victories. Maybe we'd of stayed if losing a battle wasn't the most unrewarding thing ever.

Fix FW, then evaluate whether the LP rice needs changed, current FW mechanics I"d say lower it. |

Getting your ass handed to you has absolutely no gain (lol200LPs) so why bother sticking it out. And adding ISK won't provide enough incentive either, Rattati.

CCP Rattati seems to believe PC is the marquee feature of Dust 514 and FW is the redheaded step child. Except for potentially adding in ISK rewards I have not heard any improvements coming to FW.

Because FW involves NPC corps and CCP loves everything 100% player driven, as if you can't get great player stories out of FW if it ever got some attention.
