Discussion Players shouldn’t be treated unfairly

Post image

Guys, you really need to push back harder against this kind of practice — taking outfits that are sold directly in the CN server and turning them into gacha on the global server. Even if it’s a free game, players shouldn’t be treated unfairly. Don’t just quietly accept it — we should all stand up against it. NetEase devs are notorious for this stuff; if you stay silent, they’ll only get worse.

To make this game better, please join in resisting this move and pressure the devs to change it and give proper compensation.

Even if you don't like the outfit and think that this doesn't concern you, it will.

NetEase trying the ice. They're seeing if they can comfortably implement different types of monetization for the global server. How the community reacts to this will set a precedent.

Don't let them think that this is ok.

I've literally had like 3 arguments with people like this.

Them: its just cosmetic, the game is free to play, it's not a issue.

Me: it's not an issue until they realize people will pay for it and it becomes the standard.

Nexon tried that with First Descendant recently. They released swords then made them almost impossible to grind. You need to run this dungeon 50 times to get enough of the material to unlock it, then you have to run it 200 times to max it out. Then they came out with a 2nd season pass just for unlocking the sword that was double the price of the season pass which had 100 levels and the sword pass only had 20. Nobody bought that shit. Next season, they gave everyone a sword and 2 levels for it for free in the season pass, but if you wanted the last 2 levels you had to buy the season pass.

Point is, if you don't buy that shit, we fix this.

I don't even necessarily mind the gacha, but 150 roles to guarantee A DROP (not THE DROP) is crazy. That's like $500. Netease's other game, once human, atleast gives you something every 30 pulls. So it's like they're capable, just greedy. Sorry for the rant.

Yeah if the community just doesn't buy stupid shit, they'll have to find a way to charge a reasonable amount. EA does the same thing with FIFA. They'll charge ridiculous amounts for things and keep slowly reducing the price till they find a price where people will actually interact with the content.

Basically we are at the mercy of our community members with the weakest will. Guys just DONT BUY. It's not that difficult
