    Even the whales won't buy the full 30. If you had that kind of cash to blow, you'd be better off spending those units on completing LOL.

    The point isn't to buy an entire t2a. Not everyone needs an entire catalyst, they just need a little bit to top off, and that's what the store is for. It It's just like how they changed the t4b in glory store, rather than sell an entire catalyst for 1100 glory they broke it up into 18,000 frags so you can buy what you need. Don't complain, the offer is better than nothing

    Then why is the limit 30?

    Probably to stay consistent with all the other special items? While it might be implausible to buy all 30 of the fragments, I'm sure there are whales out there willing to buy all 30 sig stones or shards. Most likely an arbitrary number

    the point is they think we are stupid enough to spend 49k units. They didn't sell 30 because the point isnt to buy all of them. That doesnt make any sense

    There is a limit of 30 for all the special items, each starts with a base cost and they use a formula to decide each consecutive cost. The t2a has a high base cost, but 150 units may be worth it for someone who just needs a little bit more to fully form a catalyst. I agree the cost is absolutely ridiculous but I don't think they are really expecting anyone to spend that much

    It’s very simple.. If NOBODY buys this overpriced garbage, Kabam will eventually offer better more reasonable deals

    We need a new term for people who purchase this offer. "Whale" does not cover it. Insane?

    Kabam is due on their lease. they need to pay rent and it is 1600 bucks per square meter.

    True they do have office in san fran, which is insanely expensive. Oh here's another slap in the face offer

    They are not even smart greedy, they could offer some great offers and make bank, instead...

    Should be 15 units for 720 T2a shards. 4500 units for ~2/3 T2a feels about right, if not a little pricey. But 45,000 units for 21,600 shards? Lunacy. Megalodons indeed.

    Math can be tough. Here’s to hoping the guys who code algorithms and formulae into the game are better at it than the marketing department.

    I expected more from you kabam. A higher price would suit you.

    Mike just closed one thread, but it was super enjoyable.

    This is fun. Get out those wallets.

    How can the scale of the T2 alpha u it cost be justified? 720 fragments for 150units is a little high I didn't realise that if you hit limit of 30 that total unit cost would 49,566 or in real money terms that's 16 Odins worth if units = £1600 :/

  • Eb0ny-O-M4wEb0ny-O-M4w Member Posts: 13,931 ★★★★★
    Is 150 units per 720x fragments ... If you want to "waste" more units to get everything at once that's up to you
  • Alpha07Alpha07 Member Posts: 649 ★★
    maybe raising the price per bought item wasn't a great idea lol.
  • AshtontonicAshtontonic Member Posts: 63
    thousand dollar spended and not even a full T2A can be form from that... the desperation to increase their sales this month is just too obvious...

    Just wait until we see what they sell 5* shard for to entice those going for Blade to have "just one more chance".

    I usually don’t complain about store pricing. I understand these games are expensive and they are trying to make a lot of money in a relatively short time but come on...

    Nearly 50,000 units is equivalent to about $1,600 and its only a little bit more than half of an item.

    Lol. I liked the idea of these items being in stores, but these prices are insane. They might as well not even be offered

    I hope pricing is lowered back down to earth for future items.

    In general, I give Kabam a lot more latitude on unit offers than cash offers. Cash is cash, but units are theoretically free with enough gameplay. There are players - and not just whales or top tier players - that can get thousands of units a month just playing normally (mostly from grinding arena milestones, plus other things).

    50k units is about $1600 if you buy them, but when I spent 15k units on masteries way back in the day those cost me nothing: I just accumulated them from gameplay. 50k units is $1600 or maybe its nine months of grinding by a player with nothing else to spend them on. Because units can be grinded out with gameplay, their equivalent cash value is a little more nebulous than actual cash offers.

    The T2A price is pretty steep, but at the moment it is also the highest pursuit item in the game. Its value and difficulty to acquire is currently so high that most players in the game probably have more of them from login calendars than from their own gameplay and purchases. Outside of things like calendars, they are always going to be expensive. Not just expensive, but always more expensive than you think is reasonable, because of their special place currently at the top of resources you can grind out (only T5B are more valuable and rare, and they aren't as easy to grind out at all).
