Since dev refuse to add more slot for f2p player, why not at least let f2p player buy slot with sliver?
In order to reduce the effect on players buying slot with gold, such compromise will be made:
The slot bought with sliver will be expensive so that buying it with gold will be a wiser choice.
Limit the amount of slot you can buy with sliver to 2.
You are buying the same slot, but just with different currency. So if you buy the first slot with sliver, if you want to buy second slot with gold, it will be the same price as the current second slot with gold.
So it will look like this:
slot 1: 490 gold or x amount of sliver
slot 2: 990 gold or x amount of sliver
slot 3: 1490 gold
slot 4: 1990 gold
This is the current gold to sliver conversion price, the best deal it got is 16.9 sliver to 1 gold. I know the number might not reflect the real value of gold.
But I guess 100 sliver to 1 gold is expensive enough.
Of course this number can be increase if it is too little.
So
slot 1: 490 gold or 49000 sliver
slot 2: 990 gold or 99000 sliver
slot 3: 1490 gold
slot 4: 1990 gold
If dev still worry about the loss, they can just sell more slot for gold.
This is a basically free game
And their current main marketing tools are May specials and new squads
So I think it’s very reasonable that they don’t give other ways to get gold coins or grids
Moreover
Players can already get free grids
They only need to play for more than 1 year in the season
They certainly need more time
But since they have no intention of paying a small change for the survival of this game
Then time is the cost they need
(Normal) players only need 50 games to get this amount
If other things are taken into consideration
Maybe it only takes about 30 games
I don’t think this can be called torture
Unless this only 1 grid is placed in a veteran box that needs to be extracted with silver coins
Considering that the official has considered giving exclusive grids to event teams
I think it would be a great idea to put the activity squad grid in the veteran chest as a reward like mentioned above
He is very torturous but can give players enough motivation.
Lol normal players? Normal player can’t even earn 1k per match.
Don’t assume normal players has the ability to earn as much sliver as a veteran player like you.
They never did, it was only passed to the developer, then no news of it.
WT has the ability to unlock slots with Silver Lions and also way to farm premium vehicles for free. We need both in Enlisted.
Your excuse that it’s a free game doesn’t work and you know it. In Warframe i can farm stuff and trade it for premium currency and buy literally 98% of the paid things in the game instantly.
DF is one of the least f2p player friendly games on the market, every ods is in paying player favour, they better improve monetization, make everything cheaper, give us more free stuff or stay as obscure game that will lose it’s players (both new and old)
Difference between a free player and paying player is massive just look at those slots i can bring 3x tanks, apc and a plane and countless infantry squads
While f2p player can bring only one vehicle and 3x infantry squads don’t you see a massive problem there?
The goal is not to make the slot extremely hard to buy by sliver, but to make spending gold a wiser choice comparing to sliver for those paying player.
Moreover, I see many players complaining they don’t have enough sliver.
I don’t mind and actually would like to see silver purchasable slots. However, I wonder if they should apply refunds to those that have already bought slots or not, to give them the option to spend silver on the slots should they choose if it is gold or silver to purchase.
They did do gold refunds when they did the merge and we rebought slots from that, so they have the capability of doing it.
The other thing to identify is will those slots be restricted or not.
Me personally, I would rather do this: This would also remove that issue as these would be the “Premium Slots” that you get to “rent” for silver or buy premium (“Gold Buy”) to obtain.
Premium account is gonna expire someday so you are still considered renting the slot with gold.
So you are proposing a stuff that is similar to premium account that is bought with sliver but the only thing it gives you is 2 slot?
Since the two slots that you get from premium are not purchasable outright ( can only get via premium membership) I feel it makes more sense. Making it so you can get an extra slot or two buying renting with silver helps the f2p players, while also encouraging play since they invest the time it takes to makes that silver.
It also finally gives f2p players the ability to use a plane and a tank in their lineups. By using the rental you also avoid the gold refund issues that could occur with the permanent unlock. By introducing sub limits you also keep premium a worthwhile convenience outside of the XP gain. If necessary you can further incentive premium by making silver rental faction specific but premium gives all four
WT’s vehicles are disposable in each game (if I remember correctly)
Moreover, once they exit the game, the current vehicle will also be locked.
This is why they are willing to give players free slots
And here your team only needs to go through 2 rotations to continue playing.
And there is no rebirth penalty (the current environment is not suitable for this either)
That’s why you don’t need more lattice
the most important point
This is a (basically free) and (relatively low revenue) game
Giving free players better access to slots does nothing to encourage payment
There is no need in the game environment to allow players to obtain more
Still the same sentence
Paid grid just gives you more choices
Instead of unconditionally strengthening paying players to cause game imbalance
3+1 is enough
I’ve met countless new people
Their grades will never be affected by grids
Even if they only played for a few days or a week and didn’t pay anything
They have become excellent players at levels 2 and 3
I don’t know how other people are
Even if my premium membership expires
As long as I fight well on the ground, it’s not difficult to get 1000
I’ve gotten 1,000 silver coins several times in the top 3
So I said (considered)
Is there any difference?
They are all grids
Flexibility may vary slightly
But players can use tactics and skills to make up for it
You are not a normal player to begin with, you are a veteran player that started playing 3 years ago.
How do you know dev actually consider it instead of just ignoring it?
The flexibility vary a lot.
You might not even have event squad that suite the role and br you want or such squad didn’t exist in game to begin with. Not to mention it will be hard for newer player to get past event squad using the box.
My definition of ordinary refers to players who can play and contribute normally.
In my opinion it is really not difficult to get (looking at other players)
I don’t think they going to do any thing like this, or have any intention to give slots exchange of silvers. But let me talk about something else, few months ago(probably december-january) there was a gold event if I remember correctly everyone get 375 gold EASILY, I got this 375 gold from event plus I had 100 from old BP, and 1-2 month later I got another 100 gold from new BP, and during this time they did %50 discount for everything(including slots) so as f2p I managed to buy 1 free slot. my point is they should make this kind gold events and discounts time to time, its probably better than silvers
