I heard a rumour about new boosters, anyone know anything about the
2x
3x
Active Boosters?
I read a thread about "Omega" booster came out in March, so they've done it before.

This game is already pay to win (like seriously, are u guys kidding yourselves?)
"Short on skill... purchase Aurum.... "
isn't that what the lady says before battle lol
Why are we able to buy things with Aurum? Is that not pay to win?
3X Boosters is no different it's PAY TO WIN
PS. Once u introduce "Pay to Win" you can't try and say "Oh this is ok... but this is not.." |

Ok I understand there has to be a "balancing act to keep it level"
butttttttttttttttttttttttttt
Chromosome build had 175 Multipliers TOTAL
Uprising: 581 Multipliers TOTAL
1 Multiplier is 310,920
175 x 310,920 = 54,411,000
So, It used to take 54 million to build a full character.
Now:
581 x 310,920 = 180,644,520
Now it takes 180 million for a full character.
Now I know that you're supposed to specialize in something which would mean you don't need 180 million SP but there's a million reasons why players need MORE SP, or even a full character, so when you look at the boosters as they are now, and do some calculations:
1. If you play every week for 1 year (52 weeks) and you reach the cap with active boosters you get:
14,851,200 SP
2. If you put a passive booster for 1 year you get:
13,870,000 SP
so that's
28,721,200 SP Per year
now divide 180,644,520 by 28,721,200 which is
6.29 years for a full character.
I think we need better boosters :) |

CCP has to be very carefull with adding such products. When the difference between paying and not paying gets too large people tend to stop bothering, rather than start spending.
Consumers like choice and incentive. Not pressure and necessity.
Just look at the math my friend, do you think players will play the game for 6.29 years?
Is the Playstation 3 Going to be around for that long?
How about the PS4 ?
Are games going to be the same in 6.29 years?
Technology gonna be the same then? |

My point was when you make it so that people realize that they can never "complete" a character and play this game at the highest level then people don't see the point in continuing towards that goal and quit early.
It's like having a never ending game.
People like "endings"
I think you guys are scared of people maxing out a character cuz you see it's "unfair"
what you don't realize is players who dominate continuously get bored and move on ANYWAY.
What people want to see is a maxed out character going against another maxed out character, that's simple curiosity and what u guys are saying is "forget bout curiosity, the sp system isn't designed to be maxed out.. we don't want people to max out their characters"
What i'm also saying is, when players realize that it takes 6 years to max out a character playing non stop and paying lot's of money, they don't bother trying and so the game no longer peaks their curiosity, it no longer keeps the players stimulated to reach that goal.
Anyone who says "no... i don't want a maxed out character" is lying to themselves and to you. EVERYBODY wants to be/have THE BEST, that's how it is! |

Thank you for your comments everyone and Malkai Inos, I'm beginning to see things a little differently.
This game is a lot like life.
We all want to do everything and get to places as fast as we can so we forget that the most important thing is the journey. :) |
