**** the NEx, **** Aurum, and give a good, hard errrm..."talking-to..." to whoever thought that travesty up.

That's all I have to say about that!

Star Wars: the Old Republic may not be EVE. But I'll take the sound of dual blaster-pistols over "NURVV CLAOKING NAOW!!!11oneone!!" any day of the week.

The overwhelming positive reactions here say it all! Inferno is looking much better between this and the ship/mining changes feedback.

That was the inspiration to the last name here.

The prices here fairly closely reflects the ISK value and reflects other games costume/outfit packs which is what I (and some others) have been rallying for. The lowering of the price of AUR instead of lowering the prices of the items will keep people who already have a full wardrobe happy. The current apparel items will (hopefully) represent the highest end of the spectrum that the early adopters can proudly wear.

I can't believe I didn't even consider LP items, which is brilliant! The red satin Sterling looks fantastic and has been easily the item I have been looking the most forward to. As long as these items are sell/tradeable like everything in EVE so far, this might actually be one of the more lucrative items for people earning LP points for ISK profit. It will be interesting to see how the demand of LP apparel will factor in the prices!

Thank you CCP and CSM, looking forward to finally buying some AUR.

Suggestions:

The currently existing jewelry, earrings in particular. It'd be nice if it had an option to twinkle ever so slightly. A bit like the stars in eve, in space. Nothing over the top, extremely low key.

If at all reasonable / simple to design, - dog tags for more militaristic characters perhaps?

The rage was because of several reasons
1. So much time/resources spent on WIS stuff and what we got was ****. Captains quarters was all we got. If CCP had delivered a much better WIS product, it would have been better
2. NEX prices were outrageous. More affordable prices would not have caused much rage
3. CEO's email bragging about making money from NEX. lol, no comment needed here
4. Overall thought of Eve turning into "pay to win"

If CCP had managed these issues better, Jita would not have burned


All of that stuff was poorly handled, absolutely. The root problem though is that microtransactions do not belong in a game like EVE. Period.


If I want to pay money to play spaceship barbie what problem do you have with it. No one is forcing you to do it, or to pay money.

They have said, multiple times, in very large font, it won't be pay to win. Are you that tin-foil-hat'ed that you won't believe devs when they blatantly tell you things?


It already is pay-to-win. You can buy something with real-life money (that comes from literally nowhere, and certainly wasn't made by another player) and then sell it for ISK. How is this not pay-to-win?


Because all the isk in the world still won't save you from getting ganked. The most powerfully rich people in the game didn't get that way from buying PLEX, you know? They got rich through in-game means.

One other thing. Please don't charge much for the Avenue and Functions shirts since they do look much like the standard gear and I think people will find it hard to spend any amount of money on them. The structure dress on the other hand is very nice and probably worth the price of a top and a bottom.

Agreed. Awesome stuff ruined by Aurum.

Whether or not you win the game matters not.  It's if you bought it.

I think this all sounds really good. As usual the tears are flowing but I think some people just like to cry. CCP, you guys are doing a bang up job and I really like everything we've seen from you this year. You are doing it right! Big smile

Damn, I thought and hoped the NEX store was going to be quietly removed and CCP actually instate proper sandbox methods to get the clothing (loot drops they are doing, but really, they should be earnable through LP or made by players).

I see they're also still completely invulnerable and even survive pod death, the only type of items to do so Roll

Shame really, as I still feel rl-money-for-items is completely at odds with the entire concept of the EVE universe and should never ever have made it in game, especially after the CCP promises they weren't adding it and even mocking games that had MT.

In contrary to the cheaper stuff you might want to buy cos it looks good, will we see some multi PLEX valuable limited pants for those who realy got the isk to spend but dont want to be look at me i have a cheap unlimited monocle.

Also can you please give very small numbers of unique unimportant clothing to the winers of the AT.
Posibly some for the runner ups. (example 12ea for finalists, 6ea for semi finalists)

Well, this was somewhat more reasonably put out than your first effort, CCP. Good to see you learning from your mistakes ;)
Keep the prices reasonable (between .50 cents and $3 depending on the item seems pretty standard) and the development of items as a side focus and I think people will be much more receptive to the NEX store.

Personally I don't have the money to blow on Aurum but if other people want to that's their business. I never really thought the NEX thing was that big of a deal in the first place, until the arrogance showed in dealing with it's immediate aftermath. But that's in the past.

The new clothing releases sound spot on. Much much better price points.

In the future have them able to be destroyed and part of loot drops on podding? Big smile

This would be bad. It would allow for account farmers to drain your credit card quite a bit.

Good to hear all the suggestions coming in. For those in doubt, the clothes shown in the blog are those you can get in the Factional Warfare Loyalty Point store for LPs+ISK. As mentioned in the blog, we will also be introducing clothing as loot drops in the near future.

So, people will be able to get some interesting clothing items without having to spend anything over and above their subscription.

Those who want to, will be able to spend to buy some other items from the Nex store. It's all about choice which isn't something we did in the past but we are doing now. You can choose to be involved or not. Each to their own. Live and let live Big smile

Vastly oversimplified and misses the point.
