I would never have expected you to become a doomer. A well, obviously the sky is falling soon...

No, they haven't provided any of your list of wants.
Possibly because the bean counters decided that such would not raise the amount of revenue that other options may.
I'd hazard a guess that many options (that didn't involve extra expenditure, for obvious reasons) may have been suggested and rejected due to insufficient anticipated income.
We, the players, have the game FD have decided we have, nothing more or less, despite the oft cited "could, should or would" content that isn't in the game.
Now, we, the players, have been given the option to buy other assets for store currency - each and every one of us can say no to the offer, can't we?
I'm a realist, same result, slightly different approach to reaching the conclusion.
Soon? Hasn't it already?
As long as the servers can be reached, I'd keep the light on.
Only if it is a GW game!Unfortunately you are breaking the rules if you are playing with the wrong figs. Yes, that is in the rules for those who don't play.

Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.
It isn't the number of Python Mk2s or prebuilds that have entered the game that will determine that but whether the number of Arx sold to players goes up. I have a Python Mk2 now but they last sold me Arx a year ago roughly so my Python hasn't helped them.
Bring back the Gold as well it is much nicer than the cheap plastic trophy look Golden
Not sure.
I fully expect ARX sales to have a big increase with the release of the Python MkII. Why wouldn't it? What else is new and worthwhile in the gamestore for the previous 6 months? Why would players be buying ARX over Christmas Holidays? For the big sale? For additional Fleet Carrier interiors? To grab some more paint jobs for their 6yo Krait Mk II??
I would get a good laugh if I could sit in a FD board room meeting and see the proud marketing mgr present a graph showing the great success of the new gamestore strategy, with the big increase in ARX movement in May. And the biggest jump in ARX sales since FC release... whoohoo! Great job all-round everybody!
Lets see if they can keep that same momentum up when releaseing the next new ships. I'm curious to see if players are ready to keep paying for "early access" one ship at a time. I am also curious if the "early access" ships will have special features unavailable after each early access period... to boost sales.
I never buy cosmetics in games ... ever ... I 100% would spend money on early ship access long before I played barbies with ships. I'm not alone.
@heathenlamb I agree with you. I used to buy cosmetics, but I stopped in the end. It's just Eye Candy, which I rarely see (I am always in a ship or on a base 99% of the time), and it doesn't make my game more enjoyable. Early access to ships does, and I am all for that.
Totally ... if I could pay FD $50 .. hell $100 to skip Engineering all together and just get access to the upgrades ... I easily would. These aspects of the game, while perfectly enjoyable by others (which is 100% valid), I find to be completely laborious and an antithesis to my enjoyment of the game. A lot of players here really struggle with other people enjoying the game in a way that isn't EXACTLY the way they do.

Well, you two are obviously better off with Star Citizen I guess. There you can buy ships to your heart's content.
Here's one now ^
The question I'd like to pose is, are the current pitfalls worth building around, and if so, are they not worth building around for everyone and not just those with cash to spare?

I did, along with a couple of other players in my groups. Or, at least, in time for the sales - which didn't contain the PJs I'd hoped would be in (they aren't in now, either)
Won't be happening with me - I spent most of my Arx already.
Well, pictures of ships... (and I don't believe either would be paying for something that doesn't exist in the game, or in the case of SC, the scam)
Fundamentally no, not if we want new blood in the game, doubly so if people think that new blood is beneficial for the financial health of the game and enabling a greater pace of development, and triple so in the clearly quoted context of my original question in response to the idea that this was good for new players.

And a lot of people feel the game could use some improvement in those same areas but simply consider it extremely poor development for the answer to be "just swipe your CC" as if everyone has the disposable income to turn the game into their ideal one swipe at a time.
