Why the Galactic Market needs to go

[anon46675045]

@Enhawk

This game is more geared towards the casual gamer audience, and forcing them to grind to get some higher level equipment is simply unacceptable

Welcome to the 90% profit mobile driven gaming. It may be unacceptable, but it’s the most common thing in this place.

@Enhawk

Further, when keys become purchasable, virtually anything would fall within the reach of the player, with no other requirement

So how did you expect microtransactions to work here? It’s exactly what they are supposed to do.

@Enhawk

Certain things, if only available very rarely in regional stores, then their prices can be comfortably lowered but still requiring the same amount of effort

But we already have a rarity system, you would either need to make them extremely better than normal or remove galactic market completely (or just leave 3 most needed items in case there’s someone extremely bad at the game and somehow runs out of fuel keys and luck - leave smallest pack of fuel, smallest pack of lives and normal missiles)

@ScarletCuboids

hmm…I thinked about this: if you’re orbiting a shop and entering galactic store, instead of using GcS prices, it uses that store prices Instead. Rarity too.

That was already suggested: Make the stores by default!

@Traveller

noöne wants to have to ſearch half the galaxy to buy a pack of amps

Yeah, because there’s only one regional shop that sells it.

@Kylo-Hen

you can guarantee that the good locations for prices and rarity will make their way online pretty quickly.

Behold, rarity locations different to every player (IA said that it wouldn’t be easy to do, but not impossible):
Uncommon opinion about rarity of items

@Sufi

They better don’t. If they do I’d rather quit than compete with people who can amass thousands of keys with the beep of a debit card.

Oh, look. Another one that won’t be playing after release. Welcome. I guess you should get comfortable with it right now because this will totally be a thing.

@Sufi

that’s how many games do it

Not speaking about the whole purchasable keys, but that’s a rather bad argument. I mean, fact that many games do it doesn’t change that it is bad. Stupid Bethesda and their horse armor DLC.

@Enhawk

keys don’t affect the competitive parts of gameplay

Missiles? Weapon upgrades? Special Weapons? Satellites? Better ships? The only thing you can possibly add to make it more affect the gameplay right now is “you died, pay 1000 keys to continue”.

@Enhawk

Like skill, I believe that equipment should also be fixed for all players so that they’re on an even playing field.

but still I would like to see a new challenge where all helping things (satellites, superweapons etc.) are disabled. Everyone gets the same equipment and you are competing just with your skill.

So we agree on that. Good.

@Kylo-Hen

If people want to ruin their progressions, what does it matter to you?

Because it ruins the fun and enjoyment for others?

@Sufi

In-game OPTIONAL ads

Optional? But the ads will be there in the place of EA banner after release. Would it be good to add both of optional and forced ads? We’re talking about someone without CHL of course, because CHL should remove ads.
