I have no problem with vanity items. I don't even mind a few expensive vanity items being made available. But it really is the case that these are not microtransactions even at the low-tier.
Suggesting an adjustment of PLEX -> Aurum from 3500 to at least 5000. Increased accessibility means more sales. More sales that could offset the lower price tag. A mid-range outfit at 3-4 PLEX is pretty ridiculous, even if it is current indestructible outside of the cargo hold.
I seriously hope that microtransactions in DUST514, where bought virtual goods have gameplay implications, are not upwards of $15. |

Originally by: CCP Zinfandel It takes a lot more work to be able to make a system where the players can make the goods. We will do it. We want that very much. But it's going to take time. All of these goods are going to be a lot more fun if they are being made by players.
I hope this happens. same for CQ decor and furnature...also want by dang striper pole w/ stripper for the corp lounge. |

It would have been sad if EVE hadn't changed/evolved since it launched.
I agree. It would be even better if most developers actually helped Eve to evolve instead of putting Eve on life support while overextending and fearlessly developing 2 other games.
Quote:
As for many players posting on the forums claiming to unsub and such, fine for them, its their way to disagree. It's not what you say, but what you do right? But at same time I see a lot of new players in EVE these days as well. CCP will notice with subs going either way. Having people post on the forums saying they unsubing doesn't mean much before the actual numbers show it.
Yes. People should unsub and stay away until Eve gets back on track (from their perspective), but as you said, people are emotionally attached. Some will leave, other will stay but become (even more) bitter. I believe that what people say are very important. Most players here are playing Eve because someone sold to them how awesome Eve and CCP is. It is a different message going out ATM which isn't especially good. |

No, you don't want this to happen... This will open the door for CCP to introduce all the new ship and module bpos/bpcs for sale in the NeX only.....
Remember that CCP is "learning" with this crap. They are "learning" what they can get away with and what the players will find acceptable. They will then push those limits and spin themselves out of a hole by saying---"Well you liked it with the $1000 pants. The new T3 frig introduction is no different."
You can't give CCP an inch or they will take 200 miles. |

That'll be interesting to see come about. It will be useless however if the method that these items are sold is Au. As it is right now, a player designer that could get something on the Nex could only receive Au, which is not at all liquid. Designers will be forced to purchase from the Nex, to buy their own designs and then sell them for ISK. That would be an undesirable hoop. If it is not on the Nex and on a sort of ISK based exchange, that will help, or if Au can be placed on the market directly, that will also help.
Also consider, if designs can be seen and purchased anywhere, this will push all prices downwards. Volumes may increase but prices will go down, reducing the incentive for player designers to create. IMO, it would be better if designers had to stick to a store front at one location and/or sell on regional markets for ISK. It will impact visibility, but will also constrain supply to some degree, likely enough to overcome initial depreciation and the power of global accessibility and visibility, but not over the long term. Another rather un-Eve like solution is to make player designed and sold items be something that can not be resold. I don't like that, but I think it illustrates the point.
This from the blog, "As with the rest of EVE the market is based on supply and demand and selling clothes may become a lucrative way of making some additional ISK." This will be true only in the case of limited edition items or other methods of constraints on supply, as expressed above. Everything else will suffer from market saturation and the fact that they will be tied directly to the ISK value of PLEX. Clothing will not be a very liquid asset. Why pick up a less liquid asset who's value is tied so directly to a more liquid asset. |

I know that MT is here to stay. That is fine. I know that CCP is proud of their virtual clothing. You can tell that by how enormously over priced the items are. The question I have though is directed to CCP Basement Ben and the fashion designers on the team developing these items.
Are any of the clothes actually going to be cool, original, and fashionable?
For example the monocle looks like an eyepiece from a Space Marine and/or Imperial Guardsman in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Some of the jackets and shirts for the male characters look like they were also taken from the Imperial Guard and/or the uniforms of the original Star Trek movies like Wrath of Khan. The newest female jacket and pant looks like you stole the style from a Star Wars female Jedi. The newest goggles are Chronicle of riddick goggles. Anyway just curious if you ever planning on putting out anything that has sex appeal, not just department store quality goods. Just because you say they are Japanese boutique worthy doesn't mean they are.
P.S. CCP Zinfandel if it isn't about the money, then why are the items destroyable and still in a 30-80 dollar price range. I though after this last fiasco the Devs of CCP where going to try and stop lying and talking to us like we are to stupid to see what this is about. The fact of the matter is more effort is being put forward to a system that will bring extra cash, than toward fixing the **** Incarna broke. I heard you loud and clear it was more important for CCP to introduce the NeX than it was for CCP to finish every raceÆs CQ. Also heard you loud and clear that EVE and it players are the Beta Test Group for systems and mechanics that will be in CCP's other games. I get it CCP needs to practice and polish the MT mechanic and system before they put it into DUST 514 and World of Darkness.

If you get podded everything on you and in your head goes poof. Even if they dont. just Seeing a billion isk monocle will make it kind of hard to not know they can't pay a ransom. |

So now they have officially a "pricing strategy" and it turns to be as insane as it looked, as it doesn't haves a target nor a market.
See, I'm OK to spend a plex to dress one of my girls. But alas, they call that "low end". Yep, of course. Join EVE, the game where you may be able to dress up your toon with a T-shirt after playing for, like, 6 months, and only for the price of a T1 BS. Very encouraging, isn't it?
Also, I can't figure who said that players who own billions will give a damm of Incarna, let alone the NEx.
So what's the target? Where is the market for NEx?
As a last note, I am worried by how they admit that actually there is no reason as to why something is "high" middle" or "low" tier... |

The target market for NeX is the one fabricated by metrics analysis, and by those who will say anything and sink to an abyss without an end to pander, lie, and outright cheat to attempt to take blood from stone. |

We are using a combination of in-house designers, outside art production, and in house art direction to make these pieces.
Awww, look. He thinks they are real clothes and he is a real fashion mogul. Isn't that sweet?

And yes, we are hoping they can eventually pay for themselves and contribute to the EVE development budget.
Cool - and until that time we'll carry on paying for the development of this stuff WITH OUR SUBSCRIPTIONS!
Edit - And just in case this hasn't been mentioned yet, I am literally embarassed to be associated with a game in which people will pay these amounts for very poorly made generic crap (the monocle is a truly terrible piece of art that looks like it was attached in Paint). There was always something a bit cool in describing to friends the scale and scope of eve by telling them how much real money a Titan was worth. Telling them how much real money a pair of boots is worth, on the other hand, has quite the opposite effect. |

Edited by: Titus Phook on 08/07/2011 20:34:59 The tier pricing strategy is insane, CCP are trying to attract a new generation of players with the promise of walking in stations and instantly ripping them off for the cost of 1 month game time if they want their avatar to have nice stuff?
If capsuleer clothing is that expensive, I'm happy dressing my characters in the same clothing worn by the mudbound planet dwellers that supposedly exist.
A few $/ú/Ç is an impulse buy, 15-20 is not. That kind of sum is for spending on game time and real life stuff, especially considering the financial state of most countries after the recent bank failscades. Hell a low tier outfit is nearly half a tank of petrol for me (little car, little fuel tank).
I won't spend those kind of figures on real life clothes let alone a bunch of pixels for use in a game that is primarily about spaceships, and inflicting violence on said spaceships.
Non destructable items is also taking the urine somewhat. If I blow someones pod up they lose their clone and their implants, surely their clothes and their "trollocle" would also be destroyed. Blowing up suggests fire, violent dismemberment and sudden freezing, if the clothes survive that.. I want my pod made from same materials the clothes are made from |

Originally by: CCP Zinfandel I've got one pair of "cute high heels" coming in the next month.
The suits and tuxedos and such are being developed as part of our "corporate collection" which is months from now. We are in the "military collection" now. Also coming up is our "cyberpunk collection."
I've seen some amazing sketches from our fashion designer for the cyberpunk collection. I may have to create a female character one of these days.
How about not having "high heels" as something mandatory for a change?
Also, you pricing is still ridiculous... try harder. Look at what other game companies are asking for such stuff and keep in mind that they (for the most part) are NOT asking subscription on top of it. If you going to copy from others, at least think why it is priced so, not show people that you desperately need money instead. |

Well, accordng to lore, you don't wear clothes in POD so it makes sense... clothing that costs more than fited capital ship does not ($5 billion japanise designer jeanse anyone?).
Perfect descision (in terms of "immersion", at least) would be to separate incarna currency from isk completely, but it's CCP we talking about.... |

I just couldn't resist...I broke down and bought myself some spiffy flight goggles (I now wear my sun-goggles at night). I wanted to new commando pants, but there just aren't any boots available that look good with them, free or paid (the new boots added today look nice, but they need to be in black not olive/tan). I'll wait on the pants until I can find a nice pair of boots and a killer shirt to go with them (though I do fancy one of the military shirts currently available). |

WAAAAAY too much money for WAAAAAY too little effort CCP.
You actually have fashion designers working on this crap? They must be the "low end" fashion designers you could get on the cheap, just like your "low end" coders and QA people that let stuff get broken with EVERY patch.
You need to try much, MUCH, harder if you expect me to pay EXTRA for something that has NO effect in game.
Sell it to the Peaco_cks if you like. Maybe they will buy it.
Oh, and btw, since this stuff is EXTRA, as in: On TOP of what you already charge; when are the REST of your paying customers actually going to see some new content?!? Or, are we all just PAYING a base fee now for the PRIVILEGE of accessing your STORE where you will then charge us MORE?!?

I'm starting to think this is prime time to freeze my account for a year and let all this bull**** play out. This NeX BS is really killing the core fundamentals of a game I would have recommended to anyone in a heartbeat. The reason CCP was successful, IMO, is that your subscription paid for the content that was realized. I'm guessing all of the clothes available now are the only ones we can access for free (without buying from NeX) I'm going on a wild guess here, but with all this faulty logic everywhere you're going to use the NeX as the metric for what kind of clothes people want, and once everyone doesn't want any, you have validated any excuse to fix this currently broken mechanic of this expansion. I would not be surprised if we have to spend aurum for accessing the next expansion; after all, who gives a **** what we think, right? |

So basically we've seen the end of free character creator updates, minus the new tattoos when they get them working.
No more new clothes, no more near hairstyles, no more jewelry... unless you pay through the butt for them.
Congratulations, CCP, you managed to make a feature I was enthusiastic about, Incarna, into something I wish would just go away. Zin, you're just clueless about how to make a game enjoyable, you know that?
Seriously, your participation in it has just sucked the fun right out of this whole expansion.
^^This pretty much, I do remember that ÇÇP originally said that clothes would be player made, guess that gets in the way of all that juicy MT $$ though. |

Mid-tier outfits will be priced such that an outfit will total approximately 3-4 PLEX, depending on individual elements.
You guys absoloutly FAIL to understand the concept of micro transactions.
Mid tier should NOT be 3-4 plex it should be at most 1
Lower tier should cost maybe HALF a plex while the EXPENSIVE **** should be 3-5.
