You guys know that T-Coins ARE UP IN KTERA for MANY months by now right ?



Premium shop added just mount and glasses.... wtf you complaning right now about something that is in Ktera for a long time?








Because before, everyone was on an equal playing ground and got the same amount of coins. Whether you spent that on mounts or potions or whatever, it was your choice, and the impact limited.







Now peopel can just mass buy their way to unlimited instant full HP heal in combat.







WITH ENOUGH MONEY, YOU CAN BE LITERALLY IMMORTAL.







This is the biggest issue ive ever seen in an MMO. Such a gamebreaking mechanic is stupid in a subscription game.




LOL ... you could spent money to buy 1000x appearance change, race change, etc and do the same. Nice informations you have there.



Premium shop didnt change




What? How does buying large numbers of race changes break the game?



The issue is that the store gives you access to unlimited full HP healing.


T coins were up in Ktera for long time by now, and you could obtain them by buying 100x race changes, etc for real money. So premium shop added nothing .. do you understand?????? You could buy scrolls, mount, potions months for months by now in Ktera


Link to character page showing the total t-coins given with each race change?

If they introduce any kind of cash shop, I will get mad...we are already paying to play the game, we shouldn't pay anymore for any kind of item IMO...AND if they implement things that affect in-game experience as cash shop (pots, buffs, WHATEVER) I hope they say it before launch so I can cancel my pre-order.

But since they have said nothing about this YET, I guess we shouldn't believe this as a fact yet.

You mean this comment?

"We will make the decision based on the needs of our audience and market. You can be sure we will carefully evaluate any system or item before we introduce them to North America. "?

Tell me...exactly what did she say there? If what you read in that sentence is anything other than "We're going to do everything we can to implement this, or something very very similar to it," then you need a refresher course in CorporateSpeak 101. I'm not saying that to be mean, please don't take me wrong. But that -statement- means absolutely nothing. Look at the clauses there - remember, only read the -exact words-, not what they make you think of or lead you to think. "We will make the decision based on the needs of our audience and market". What metrics of 'needs' are we determining? Notice 'desires, attitude, or wants' are not the words used. And what 'market' is there that is different from the 'audience'? There aren't a lot of choices in that question. "We will carefully evaluate any system or idea before we introduce them to North America." System OR idea? Either one makes it a conditional true statement. I've seen less wriggle room in wide-open plains.


Wow, that's really what you read Minea's statement to say? Hrm, ok. I'll just take the actual words at face value instead, and we can agree to disagree.


Fair enough. But if you get some spare time, might I gently suggest taking a gander at the recent brouhaha over on the WoW forums regarding specific wording and the Annual Pass as regards the Mists of Pandaria beta? You might get an interesting insight into how such wording is typically used. Up to you, doesn't affect me either way of course.

You will never succeed in business, lol.

PR is all about making the customer think one way while having plausible deniability if you change your mind later on.

tl:dr

Someone list to me what you can get using this t-coin system.

Potions and survival methods have always been a part of PVP
Potions have cooldowns on them regardless if they are "instant" or not.(95% sure on this)

I've already seen it. People heard and read what they wanted to, and made assumptions about when they would get access. I signed up for AP the first day, I read everything about it before I did. Never once did I think I would have day 1 access. I also read when they spoke about Beta testing being in waves a loooong time ago, so I don't agree that any wording was amiss. I'm not even the biggest Blizz supporter.
That is also a completely different situation, but I respect that you just feel differently than I do.

I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT, AFTER SCRUTINIZING IT A BIT FURTHER, I BELIEVE IT'S A COMBAT USE 100% STAMINA RECOVERY POTION. SORRY. I DID NOTE EARLIER THAT IT WAS A GOOGLE TRANSLATE AND I COULD BE WRONG. THANKS.

Um, ok, if you say so. Good thing you know so much about me.

I am well aware what real PR is about. However, Minea's statement didn't make me think one way or another.
