I have a MT confession to make

[KorgFoehammer]

I have in the past made some statements about the Battlepass and the Bazaar based on the bad experience I had with other games, but credit is to be given when credit is due.

Contraty to many critics, I am not a critic because “battlepass and the bazaar take away my power to have stuff”, as I discuss later on, but I really dont like that virtually all the other games I ever played introduce these in a form of monetizing content that “cant be bugged” and never fix the game.

I am a modder, and I can say I even saw one of my suggestions of a fix being worked in the devkit which probably benefits also the whole game to those who doesnt even use mods. And I would gladly suggest fixes for all the problems I know the game has if I knew them. The excessive arguments from some players to me are unfounded. I play in my PC and my wife’s XBox, she plays on her XBox, and neither of us have half of the problems people report around, however I do know why they happen and I know they have nothing to do with the game itself or funcom in MOST cases.

So no “I want free stuff critic”, or “I want to get back for my problems on criticizing the cash shop critic”. I genuinely criticized the introduction of because I took Funcom on the same note I have taken past experiences.

However, no. I have seen the work people put in this game, and the strive to really solve problems that arent even strictly speaking “their problem”. There are N things in the code of this game that are made to “shrug” bad config, bad use of computers, bugs in other games that splash on the consoles themselves, and whole lot of code that denotes the care the game has had.

And I have also seen how much the pass and bazaar are actually done in a way I think it is right. I am an accountant, and I have a post in Economics too, and I have seen stuff out there that most players dont even know their games do. But this is not the case here.

As soon as I came to realize Funcom does the thing differently, I took the time to check it out, and after a time of small stuff to see how things go, I started to almost “blindly” purchase stuff because it seem interesting, and that is all that I have seen to be a concern. If I like the stuff, I buy it, because there is no doubt it is made with care.

And to this day I am still not regretting any crom coin I have bought.

I only hope this never changes, because you know, I have been playing games from … that other publisher … that other publiser that shall not be named, and if there is something I learned from them … Bet … ahem Bliz … ahem … Ele. … ahem … that other publisher … it never changes.

I am in the same road but for (maybe) different reasons!
I play on PlayStation and recently the last gen arrived in my house too. But the past years this game filled my gaming days like no other has ever done before. This game came to my console from my sons habit to download the free psn games of the month. I play it the first year almost without spending a dime on it. Slowly slowly, some from necessity of a game style and some for decoration reasons, i was buying the dlcs. Then the live stream with Andy and Dennis for the new system and the statement “keep the lights on” triggered me to “give back”. Even when the game arrived completely broken with the mew Bp and the bazzar and it was more frustrating than fun, i said “no”, you must give them time and continue support them by buying their products, no matter if you’re not having fun. Because they surely work over hours to make it right, so don’t turn your back on them right now. Then one Sunday, Sunday, i will receive a hotfix and i will be pleased for not turning my back on these people. I felt right. Every penny i give they deserve it, they gave me wonderful years of free gaming and i am happy that i can contribute to this effort they do the last year. I just hope now Funcom make “more” from this game and raze their salaries too, because their huge effort is obvious and they deserve it. With these thoughts i will continue to contribute in this game.

This one will continue to grumble when things are not in order when they hit the market.
However, as all the purchases this one has made are currently in order, this on, likewise, does not regret any Crom Coins purchased.
Point of fact, if certain other things were added (black ice building pieces like in the frost giant stronghold, Lemurian or Stygian build pieces, a placeable Hyrkanian yurt, Armour like Conan wore at the Battle of the Mounds in the movie, ect…) This one would immediately reach for the wallet.

This one would love to know how much the Bazaar has generated, but this one is content to see what the new Age that comes out, which the new monetization purchased, looks like.

Also, the complimentary cake is, metaphorically, delicious.

I play this game almost for 6 years (early access, you know) - and it’s still alive and developing. I wait for every next Chapter impatiently. I don’t have much money to spend in the Bazaar, even with regional prices but I buy something from time to time. Things look great and it helps to keep my one and only game going - a kind of voluntary subscription

Are you on drugs? Players are currently glitching into one anothers bases, building under and behind the mesh and even in the sky. This is literally the tip of the ice berg. 3D models from the bazaar are just decorations and not really the game itself. If the same level of care was taken with the actual game them maybe i would agree.

@KorgFoehammer

strive to really solve problems that aren’t even strictly speaking “their problem”

Who’s problems are they then, Wildcard? All problems with Conan are Funcoms problem. That’s like an accountant saying balancing the books is not their problem

You almost say that as if anyone in their right mind would actually give a flying F as to what’s happening on official PvP servers
(jk, though this thread does highlight how different people value different parts of the game)

I do not understand that part.
Are you talking about Funcom or the community?
When real money is paid for a service or a product, it is the seller’s responsibility to insure it works. It is basic customer care for any business. So I hope you are not talking about the involvement of the company towards its clients, but rather about the modders, players, helpers in general who give a hand when they can.
