sky cotl rant! (part one?)
I hate event tickets! I hate the event ticket light even more. it takes the same amount of logins to get those 40-60 tickets, the same amount of effort as a ts capes do.
I have an idea. Make the items, on the year of their introduction, at least half the usual price. If a ts cape costs you 75 (85 with nodes) candles, make it 37c per cape or pants, 20c per masks and hair, 15c or less for accessories and shoes and such. This makes it more affordable during a 10 or so days long event.
Next. Remove the spell nodes from the spirit trees. Or lower their price to 1c.
I like the new quests, but one seasonal candle is low for the extended amount of time needed for their completion.
"But veterans have nothing to spend their candles on, if you make things cheaper." No. They stopped playing, because collecting cosmetics is the only thing that one can do in this game. If you can't play piano, there is nothing to do in this game. If you have friends in this game, you've probably already shared your Discord or Tumblr or other social media or messaging app. There is no reason to use Sky as a chat app.
They want us to spend more time in game. Then why remove the afk grinding? Afk or not should not make a difference.
(Yeah. I'm so exhausted. Will I quit? No. Their tactics are unfortunately working on me. I want the pants from the next season. I will definitely play less. I just bought Portal2 and can't wait to finally play it myself. I remember the story, but I don't remember every chamber solution by memory. That's what makes it worth playing. Not to mention the community made content and co-op mode. That is a game worth it's price, and I got it on a massive discount.)
Back to Sky. The in app purchase cosmetics. Yeah, I know that they are optional. You don't have to buy them. Still, a pair of virtual shoes shouldn't cost more than real shoes. I could afford two pairs of shoes, if I search well. Even with the price inflation. They can keep the season pass in the game. Just make the pass vs non-pass item distribution bit more fair. And maybe cheaper pass?
Seasons. I know that the items in the season are cheaper than ts. Getting the candles for it takes longer. It's nullified (to me). You will tell me, "You don't have to get everything," and I will answer, "The item that I like is locked behind a paywall." To make the season pass worth it's price, you are, once again, forced to farm seasonal candles every day. I don't have problems with season ultimates, or time limited availability in general. I like having a rare trophy, which I got by being in the right place at the right time. Something which not everyone can get, given enough time. (Not in my Sims4 game tho. That one is supposed to be a single player sandbox. Damn you EA. Even if they patch it in the game later, why do the battle pass thing at all?)
I can't remember more stuff right now. Not mentioning bugs, those shouldn't be present there. And Sky should add something which will make it more into a proper video game. Social hangouts are dead. Kids who used to play them grew up, (or moved to WebFishing).
