• strobulator94 @ Jul 13th, 2012 5:19AM

  Are the weapons, attachments, armor and equipment you get in the Starter Pack permanent? And are there any oher Bundeles (except the Sniper Kit)?

• bareby1987 @ Jul 11th, 2012 12:28PM

  You are not human

• nin9liv3s @ Jul 11th, 2012 5:22AM

  30% less the cost of guns*

• nin9liv3s @ Jul 11th, 2012 5:21AM

  I have to say that this 1 day, 7day, 30 day and permanent options are fantastic...I havent seen it in any other F2P game...but why do so many options allow me to only pay for something with zen (eg camos, some armors)? I would appreciate the option of being able to use GP albeit at a really really high price...perhaps id get fed up with waiting and just pay for the thing ;) Also, why does permanent guns cost so much zen? Its like up to $7AU for one gun...quite frankly, I would never spend that much...approx 0 less the cost of guns and gun parts would be a sweet spot I feel. All this said above, this is a great game that has me hooked...I bought Gold for Tribes Ascend, but I stopped playing after about a week...this should have me playing for much longer!

• trollingtehforum

  Well if you haven't seen these options in any game, you must not play a lot of games.

• wassup101010 @ Jul 9th, 2012 4:46AM

  Why do you have to have a perm at 5500 gp that is expensie

• strobulator94

  As a good player you can earn 100GP an hour. So it takes you 5 to 6 hours to collect enough GP to buy a new weapon. I don´t think thats expensive.

• paggalbraith @ Jul 8th, 2012 9:40AM

  vcrulok- You nailed it

• paggalbraith @ Jul 8th, 2012 9:39AM

  I don't suppose you all could lower the outrageously high cost of getting permanent new equipment with GP?

• d4nte387

  hey the game is free, if they wanted it to be fair then they would charge money and patch everything.

• ownageburst2 @ Jul 7th, 2012 11:42PM

  I can't believe they taken away free nodes.

• strobulator94

  Seems OK to me since the Node Chancepack is only 125GP...

• vcrulok @ Jul 6th, 2012 5:32PM

  and another thing we dont want starter packs we want our gp back and we like weapons and lots of em and we want to experiment and build our own damn weapons got it ? good!

• d4nte387

  calm down, your not a game developer (unless you are) so demanding these changes as if your the voice of god and know what everyone wants is useless.

• vcrulok @ Jul 6th, 2012 5:29PM

  I was sickened when I saw your so called price changes , these are only an example of corporate greed! I just started playing this game and I thought , what a cool game , great graphics , challenging yet fun gameplay , plenty of servers and people and even though I only get to try out weapons I buy with gp for a day or so I get an idea of what I might want to purchase in the future ! ya see , its like a tutorial , get it? You people seem to want to cram it down our throats , i got news for you , without better weapons this game gets boring real fast ! I mean , you become a plaything for some wealthy turd who has money to burn and most gamers just arent wealthy If we were we be traveling the globe , spending money on wine , women and song and gambling ,doesnt that make any sense to anyone but me? you had a perfect recipe for success and you stick it to your player base with this "ingenius" idea, I mean moronic idea that if you decrease the real world cost of items we will rush to buy it all up like the losers we all are . Damn what a dumb ass mistake. you underestimate the gaming community we are a picky bunch and if you want our loyalty , don't abuse us economically, give us a little taste of the good life and when we got the dough we will buy and buy and buy.

• amridell

  That was perfect. I thought the same, thing, too.

• pfaff

  Why not give players the option to donate for their hard work to put out a free game? Plus you can do just fine with the gp you get after every game.

• d4nte387

  you really need to make shorter messages that make sense. also, i havent paid a cent and halve lots of stuff, you also get 3 day packs for free for leveling up. i think that the 1 day is great, i was thinking of buying the burst gun and now have invested in a LMG instead cause i liked it more.

• xarishark @ Jul 3rd, 2012 7:15PM

  sure reduce the zen cost don't reduce the credits cost and keep the credits cost up dont you get it you gonna lose a HUGE amount of your customers this way look at riot as time passes BOTH prices go down riot points only but both they make HUGE money by letting you buy things that wont change the games balance and still they are making more money than ever even if the thing the customers buy are pure graphics.Drop zen??? drop credits to A also ffs make the weapons parts cheaper i have to give the same mcredits for a smg AND its scope wtf is wrong with you???

• d4nte387

  they have to make money somehow.

• ch4rl3st0nch3w @ Jul 3rd, 2012 10:16AM

  Childish ramblings, have you no understanding of economics? Prices change based on supply demand. Mommy and daddy ain't gonna bail you out this time so deal with it.

• barrettmeeker

  "Prices change based on supply (and) demand." Not with digital goods like this where supplies are unlimited, prices are no longer based on the traditional supply and demand economics. The prices are now based a balance between number of sales vs profit per sale finding that balance to maximize profits.

• d4nte387

  i could not agree more

• killerchris999 @ Jul 3rd, 2012 8:51AM

  Did anyone watch the trailer for this game, where the Devs said they were going for a free2play game, which wasnt pay2win? Well, what happened to that Devs???!

• d4nte387

  the game is fine. i can get guns just fine without money, if they reduce price of GP then there would be no reason to play, if you want a pay2win plays tribes or something.

• pepsimaxboy1 @ Jul 2nd, 2012 10:26PM

  Can anyone explain why it now costs 5500 gp to buy a reciever? It used to only cost 200 gp to get one.

• davidhawkeye6969

  were you playing since beta, if so then it probably started low so you could test it, if not, then you only just looked at the permanent price

• pfaff

  you must have changed your settings... switch it back to 1day rather than permanent.

• scyper11 @ Jul 2nd, 2012 7:53AM

  Well, we can all learn from this: don't spend any real money anymore in this game.

• fluiduk @ Jul 2nd, 2012 4:57AM

  oh dear i got all excited in my pants about this game, now it sounds like battlefield play4free all over again. Pay2win

• mushymonster @ Jul 1st, 2012 5:34PM

  looks like ill never get nodes ever again...

• draymondc @ Jul 1st, 2012 2:29PM

  So what...now that I've paid a good 50-60 bucks everything is lowered? Really? Do we even get a refund for what we did pay for? I love this game...but this decision is ridiculous. And taking away the free Datanodes? For what? It's already slightly a pay to win game. Now it's just going to be more-so.

• thds

  suppory reply for refund .. Hello, No compensation will be given for price changes per our Terms of Service: http://www.perfectworld.com/about/terms We apologize for any confusion.

• landfallen @ Jul 1st, 2012 12:14PM

  Alright guys, why don't we cut the act and just go P2P already :/ at this rate, the free features will get taken away

• juiceypoop @ Jun 30th, 2012 11:34PM

  ehhhh. Just spent 5300 worth of zen before this update. which is more than what I'd pay for most games of this quality if I brought the game outright. and now there is a price drop. even with that amount of zen it wasn't enough to permanently purchase all the items necessary to make a complete class :\ I remember bringing this issue up in the beta and zombie assuring me that it wouldn't be that bad. guess they where full of it. ohwell.

• progotbanned

  Submit a ticket, they should refund you the difference. They have to, otherwise it's not right.

• gausspowered1

  Where I can submit a ticket?

• wightnish

  He is wrong, don't even bother sending a ticket. Price changes happen, whether in games or in real life. It is bad luck, and I feel for you, but they certainly don't have to compensate you for anything

• jimmy579 @ Jun 30th, 2012 5:53PM

  Oh great... now everyone will have a over powered SMG

• rhyzez @ Jun 30th, 2012 5:31PM

  *sigh* good one zombie........
