Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Good Eve gents and gals, I want to bring to light a common issue i have seen in games that are offering content for real life currency. Its good to have, but one thing i noticed is that, it could lead to people actually not playing the game to its full potential. Lets be honest here. If i paid for a luxury apartment and not actually grind for one, i would look like a scrub. Its like putting cheat codes in GTA and getting free money / apartments / guns etc. You get my point. I think the paid cosmetics is a bit to early to advertise. I would have liked to see a different way to fund development costs. However, i am a bit understanding of the business move. I think people will get bored if the top looking apartments were bought with real money and not earned in game from hard labor. My goal obviously here is to make a lot of money. I want to experience that feeling of reward when you buy an expensive apartment. Are these apartments going to give an edge in comparison to people having regular apartments? Hopefully @Beach_Ball could answer this. Now, mind you that i understand the funding that this will bring. However, i am not convinced that its effective. Sorry, our opinions are different on the matters. You see, i want the pure enjoyment of finally being able to walk in that smooth upscale apartment after a long grind. Please, don't forget the feeling when you spent the last 3 weeks of your life grinding for an apartment. Finally you get that dopamine rush to your brain of rewarding accomplishment as you walk in it for the first time. Bravo! Anyone remember such nostalgic feeling that we experienced in games like GTA V, WoW , etc ???? I Do. I hope i still can feel such rewarding feeling. *Drops $400 on the game.... I feel like a scrub. What are your thoughts? Edited October 10, 2018 by ItsRaiden 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 20, 2018 Hey there, unfortunately the cosmetics are there but they don't give an advantage other than giving a home/ some storage. Apartments in the packages are unique designs but you can buy them in game with in game money; however the apartments won't be the same layout as the pledge rewards. Also @Beach_Ball is currently no longer with Asylum as his contract ended recently and he wished to have some time off. We hope he will be back in the future though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, pledged apartments will have different unique layouts from non-pledged apartments. The layouts won't be "better" or larger than their ingame counterparts, they will just be different. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Interesting to see the different layouts. I would like that actually which is a nice variety. One thing i hated about other games is not enough diversity in cosmetics. I like seeing people with different house layouts. Edited October 3, 2018 by ItsRaiden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are your thoughts? I agree with some things you have said here. I believe that the devs should be working on the task at hand not things tat are not gonna be used for the next 5 years.

Well, I guess the only person in this community that still has an ounce of faith in this dated game. Essentially, there isnt any derogatory comment thrown towards asylum that you dont throw yourself infront of and defend with your life. Don't get me wrong, you make a lot of valid points and correct a lot of mis-information which is justified, but it must be getting more and more difficult for you to stick up for them. Surely if this is not published to steam today, you will have to somewhat back down and let people vent without throwing in some loose defense for them?
