Good night,
Greetings from Venezuela, since I saw the project with the guys from Youtube Random Topics I didn't even think about it and immediately support the project, I hope to continue growing and improving day by day.
Ok, after this introduction I will give my opinion about the topics discussed here.
1.- I think that the business model through Cosmetics can be a path that can benefit the company economically well, a methodology that could work is, for example, that the F2P player can obtain skins just for playing but exclusive skins only can be obtained by paying. This in order to maintain an interest of those who wish to invest money in the game and would get through this method a justification to do so. The most important thing to note is that what must be respected is that none of these skins (F2P or Exclusive) contain bonuses that affect or impact the PVE and PVP.
2.- I think that the battle pass can be implemented in a mixed way, that is, that those F2P people can participate by winning Skins or Mounts, but not of the same quality or exclusivity of the Skins or Mounts of the one who paid real money for the battle pass.
3.- Additionally in the store you can place vouchers for Name Changes, Titles, Name Color, Hairstyle Changes, Face Changes, Race Changes, Faction Changes.
4.- What if I DO NOT recommend at all and I hope that you please never consider placing is the very bad system of Lootboxes, or typical boxes that contain items, I think that everything P2F or P2W would take away much merit from this project so promising.
5.- And my last recommendation is, please, I suggest them from my heart is, do not include in the game Skins, Mounts, Weapons, Trasmog or Accessories that liquidate the fantasy medieval immersion that this future and successful game has, for example, Mounts of a Flying Pink Pony, a Candy Cane Sword, Pokemons Hats, Beach Swimsuit Dresses, because in my opinion it kills, liquidates, murders and totally thunders any immersion of the game.
Thank you very much and I hope you consider what I have exposed here.
Well from what I see, I can tell you that we think in the same way, so yeah no Items will be sold in the shop, it will be purely cosmetic.
The skins that will be accessible in the game won't be horrible in order to drive people to the shop.
Those candy canes, pony mounts, and stuff don't look good for sure in a fantasy medieval game.
