Trials...

KrimsonSky · #1 07-17-2010, 03:15 PM

it sucks, but I'm def' not wasting anymore money on this game... [i.e $230+...lol'able? I think so!

]

I think the only server that has been lenient on trials, is Era.
Screw obv mode.

But the only problem I have with being a trial is the head thing... I should be able to wear the head[s] I made ....

Because lord knows this guy isn't becoming gold anytime in the near future.

Yo opinion on trials and what they should get, or shouldn't have.

I think there should be a lot greater extensions on the Observer Mode towards how long you have before a freeze or complete removal but I know we've all nagged our heads off trying to tell stefan/unixmad that so they've only allowed it if you place limitations for them yourself on your server. The whole heads thing is just ludicrous, I mean it poses no reason to buy an upgrade towards your account for Heads when you can use any body sword shield etc etc basically anything besides a head.

tl;dr version: Extend the time trials can have to play before they are put in observer mode some more but keep the wait time or slightly extend to compensate and remove the head penalty.

Everyone should be able too use their own personal heads, even with Trial mode.

it's hard because they've been very leniant with trials lately (their stats saving, etc), however without lifetime classic i cant really support anything that's being done at the moment so i dunno

im also not a fan of competely free games with microtransactions, im a fan of games where you pay once and play for life. games like heroes of newerth. theres usually 30,000 players on and atleast 16,000 at any given time. thats why i was a fan of lifetime classic. you still had restrictions; you couldnt play the gold servers (which at the time were actually decent-good) so there was still a reason to upgrade. nowadays thats gone and theyre relying on milking people for content they didnt even make but again, i just dont know anymore.

That defeats the entire purpose of the head restriction. The head restriction was traded in for "limited screen size", which was just awful, so it's worth it. I'd rather see lifetime classic re-added and maybe moving some servers to the Gold tab and significantly lowering prices of Gold.

How about players that have been playing for "x" amount of years gets classic... its like... we've already payed... more then (I) we've should have....

Subscriptions = Lame
Purchasing Classic = Good deal

iMad.

[also, I do remember when i first purchased this account, in the Graal-Store is did say "x amount of time for Gold servers, lifetime on classic playerworlds" ... yet I'm trial.... /makesnosense]

also, on a side note.... Era....srsly.... you can get deaths... but not kills ?.... that's just so evil...

But that's just what we're saying cbk, Limiting that has no reason whatsoever. the screen size bit was retarded as well. Should we thank them for not allowing us to use what we've made for everyone?

nop, gold is a place for cj's own servers. unless of course someone makes a super high quality server and they want it to be gold

Gold is a curse.

Lower subscription fees, removal of Observer mode, server-specific subscription bonuses, and more aesthetic/extra/non-game-breaking goodies available in the gelat shop should work just nicely.

A one-time purchase like on Classic iPhone for access to all the other heads would probably a good thing to add as well.

agreed, non-game breaking is of course the keyword. micro transactions have completely crippled gunbound (yeah laugh idc) and i dont want graal to go down the same path. i also dont want to see cash users having the "easy way out". i dont mind small perks but i hate imbalance.

imo micro transactions is THE way to go, but it should only sell novelty items and nothing that impacts gameplay in any way (CJ cards being a bad example on how to do it).

KrimsonSky · #14 07-17-2010, 11:26 PM

I just want to play the game like I have been for 6 years.... I have no clue why I [personally] have to spend more then what I have already to continue playing normally...

**** grinds me gears~!

Zone is currently free to trials.

I will be developing the in-game gelat store while the playercount rises, they will mutually support one and other.
