Do players still get the entire pack of paint jobs with a purchase? If not then paint jobs just went up about 6 fold.

Honestly what skin it is irrelevant, I Just chillin that skin at random. My point really is that the value per dollar/pound has dropped heavily. Based on the conversion rate you posted earlier, it would take you about 13 months to buy one ship kit.

That's horrendous, I would see if the entire pack cost 3250, however that's just one skin. Basically the entire ARX system is a net loss, which most of us knew it would be.

I see a lot of people posting about the slow rate but I have yet to see someone talk about the value per unit local currency decreasing so heavily.
A ship kit was 12 euros, never free. Now it's a year of playing, or still 12 euros. Can't see the problem (didn't calc the exact numbers because I don't get ARX for that...)
 
You're shifting the goalposts. Crypsis paintjobs were always single, not packed. They cost now 3250 ARX which is roughly 9 weeks of ARXing.
I know your feelings are hurt but I'm not shifting any goal post. The point is obvious, one pack of 6 skins for $5 vs 1 single skin.

My bobble head is 39 weeks of ARX'ing, with my normal play.


Free ARX in game is not what this thread is really about though, is it?

Look... this is simple.

DO NOT BUY ARX

Frontier, if they realise it's a massive flop.. will can it. If they earned more money with the old shop where you actually paid real money for this shizzle, then trust me... they'll go back to it.

Stop whining.. start boycotting.

It's really that simple.

I didn't say anything about a ship kit man I said a ship kit cost about 13 months of gameplay. One skin costing roughly the price of 6 is not a benefit.

Even the cheapest Marine plain skin is 620 / single skin. 3100 for 5. Overall reduction in value. Fusion used to be in entire pack and it's the same price as the Crypsis, 3250.That skin pack used to be the entire pack for that price.

Not only am I refusing to buy, but my bank won't let me buy things from Frontier. They have shot both feet with an old Webley...
 
6 paint jobs (eg: Tactical) cost $5.
Let's assume a single Tactical paintjob costs 620 Arx, that's a total of 3720 Arx. For $4 you get 5,000 arx. That leaves a difference of 1280 Arx; which lets you buy an additional two paint jobs at 620 Arx.

So $4 for 8 paintjobs, when it was $5 for 6.

Am I missing something, does my math suck.. or .. ?
 
It's super easy to check the ARX prices of paintjobs from the ingame store. Here is a list I gathered (all for individual paintjobs):
620
1260
1820
2220
3250
The most common prices seem to be 620 and 1820. Funny that the OP "randomly" picked the most expensive one of 3250 as the screenshot.

This means for every 2 weeks of play (2 x 400 cap) you get one costing 620 for free.

Fusion wasn't sold in packs either, get your facts straight.

Are they expensive and useless? Yes.
Are they more expensive then before? Debatable, before you couldn't get them for free.
 
I would just like to add that I pointed out that this would obviously happen when they first announced the change and the forum dads shouted me down.
