Maps Price (again)

[BadPing]

What keeps server managers from substantially lowering the price to buy a map?

[SkyBlue]

yea pls low it or give us more gcs m8s

[Guest AleksCore]

Better more gc-rewards for players. Try to play our zombie survival mr green server. There much easier to earn gc. You must reward your players for everything.

Already was discussed a ton of times, I disagree with this. Yes, some stuff on our shop is a bit overpriced but lowering the map prices is the wrong move imo.

[MoshPit]

It should be lowered back to 200 a map. It was raised because to many people where buying NTS on race server which isn't a problem any more.

We're going to experiment to reward players with GCs for simple playing, or being ingame. Maybe that'll help a bit to make some items more easy to buy.

lowering the price will cause a map-center abuse

all players are going to buy DD and SH maps

so keep the map price as it is for now and forever.

This. 

 

This time the high price actually has a purpose.

The thing that makes you play at all, to get GreenCoins and unlock perks/buy maps are those prices. It's like the paintjob perk, it costs a lot (15000 GC), but when you finally get it you're really satisfied and you keep playing hard to get more GCs and buy other perks, also earn them for the new exchange method (GC > €) that would be in coming this year.

[Guest AleksCore]

If you don't play good and much - all this perks/shit unavailable for you. It's like unreachable objective. Or you will become real nerd and lose your real life or.. .i.

aleks you donate then to get the shit or take 4 ever then get it all

[Guest AleksCore]

Even with donate it's all costs really much. But you know many players don't want to donate and never will, so we abandon them?

P.S. you all here regular players, kinda nerds. You like it, sure..

P.P.S. Finishing map it isn't small achievment? Why not reward player at least with 1 gc? 1 fucking gc. Is it much?

Yes, thats how it goes.

If you don't put in work, you have the option to donate. If you don't want to donate, then you can always just play. It's not like you MUST have ALL upgrades to win.

You don't need any upgrades at all as a matter of fact.

Nah. Ty. I am rq

Can I call this a no-lifer?

Man it's just a game, have fun playing and chatting with your friends..

I'm practically new on those servers and both are amazing, the scripts as well, but servers are laggy, specially MIX, there's FPS drops all the single time when server gets full also when it's quite empty. I've understood that on F6 there's a shop where you can buy things and maps, prices are correctly done.

[sweetsandy]

There used to be a lot higher reward for getting the top time for example and the maps were cheaper now you practically get nothing for getting the top time and the price for a map is almost twice as big..

One of the two should be changed to its previous condition imho.

Only post that tries to answer the question. But still, why are you so sure this will happen? 200 gc is still a considerable amount . You need to win between 10-20 times to get this amount of coins. Why do you think anyone will spend 200 gc every time a map they don't like comes up just so they can avoid 5 min of gameplay?

The thing that makes you play at all, to get GreenCoins and unlock perks/buy maps are those prices. It's like the paintjob perk, it costs a lot (15000 GC), but when you finally get it you're really satisfied and you keep playing hard to get more GCs and buy other perks, also earn them for the new exchange method (GC > €) that would be in coming this year.

I get the paintjobs and cars being quite expensive because it's a permanent thing and it may somehow show you're a good/regular/old player and may get you some sense of superiority over the others . All good, but buying maps is much more dynamic. You spend gc to just buy one map. And after 4 minutes it's all gone. This is why I think the price should be way lower.

low it on race, idc mix

[/////AMG]

lol neox if there's gonna be GC -> € that god damn titten will get 300€ worth of just playing in the server...

[AfuSensi]

Well the conversion rate is not known, but it would be quite stupid to make it 1:1, unless there are limits ofcourse.

i think it can be done in race without problems as well as in mix but there is some scripts needed before imo, example for race there is script needed which will make same map unplayable (after it has been bought) for 1 hours + on mix it should block same game modes in a row, in map purchases. also every second map must be random, etc.

Seems reasonable.

 

Will there be any kind of alternatives evaluation anytime soon? Or will the price stay the same forever (or a long time)? I know the topic has been brought up in the past but times change and I'm trying to keep this issue floating around in your heads

This.

Having GC and things to buy with them keeps people coming and earning more (in addition to the good maps, the people, etc.).
