I wonder how smite is doing for them. They sell heroes like in league but they've been selling a God bundle featuring every God from now to perpetuity for 30 bones. I wonder if they make a lot more doing that than selling gods piecemeal. It's not like they have a mess of cosmetics to sell.

Tribes:A is the only f2p game where I've spent money. I dropped like $20 on it, and now I have a pathfinder with all the dope stuff unlocked. I love tribes. Got to go fast.

I love tribes. put like 5 bux into it for vip during beta and have recently unlocked all weapons through normal play. even then everyone knew hirez had no loving idea what to do with the game.

Overbite posted:o, i heard people complaining about new pay 2 win stuff a while back but I guess people always cry pay 2 win. my bad. They were creating new guns that were overpowered so if you were using only points to unlock stuff, instead of real money, you would most likely have to wait a month to unlock stuff, and by then they would have nerfed the gun. But I think what killed tribes was the influence their business model had on gameplay, not only the pay to win stuff. I played a bit of tribes 2 (you can still find people playing quite easily) and the fact that you can just pick any gun you want have a huge influence on gameplay, while in tribes ascend the business model ended up making the gameplay more contrived since they needed to impose more limits to equipment usage to create the idea of multiple upgrade paths you could take, taking more of your time so you could get enough points to unlock stuff, so you would be more inclined to spend real money. Also I bet that for every equipment piece they would put in the game would took meetings with marketing people and we end up with those weapons that were almost the same as other weapons with some stats change, the kind of poo poo that could only be produced by managers or marketing people, instead of game designers. program666 fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Feb 10, 2015 |

to be fair the guns that are like +1 ammo -1 damage and poo poo are worth like a tenth of what the actual different guns are. they added those as sidegrades to the regular versions instead of like, a call of duty tweaking system or something.

yeah, it was almost kind of sane but it's part of how much of a mess their whole weapon/class system ended up being in the end, after all those p2w weapons were introduced and everything. In a sane game where you could just pick your weapons instead of unlocking them they could just be a checkbox where you selected the variation instead of being another gun with other rules governing its upgrades.

FPS games have never made sense for a F2P model, and the fact they tried to market it as a competitive FPS while leaving weapons behind all this grinding is just insane

Bobnumerotres posted:i dont know how they expect people to trust them at all if they just flat out drop poo poo to chase other opportunities Back in the 90s and early 2000s companies just released a game and people paid $50-60 for that game and the company didn't continue developing it. The same concept can apply to an F2P game with a cash shop. It's Hi-Rez's way of saying that's all the content they want to do for the game and it's complete, enjoy. Not profitable to continue developing content for a game with a limited market. Anyone stating exact player numbers is wrong and even if they were right they don't have access to the revenue and overhead of Hi-Rez. puberty worked me over fucked around with this message at 17:43 on Feb 10, 2015 |

i've considered it and i'm not gonna bother playing tribes still, because even though it's fun everyone else has played it for 10 million hours and has everything unlocked. tired of poo poo like someone heavy capping in a 5 second route because they've practiced for so long they know exactly which rocks to fly off of with spinfusor boosts. this game was good when actual people played it too

I talked with many of the people working on the project and heard their thoughts. I got belligerently drunk, ordered $100 of flatbread and stumbled home.
