Mantle Prices for Live

[Atlantis]

Well i think we need to talk about this before we go live. I know the GMs have thought about lowering mall prices and i think thats great. But i do think Mantles need a decent price reduction.

So please leave what you think it should be come live. Also be reasonable guys the GMs need money to keep the server open, And the mantles are suppose to be some what rare as in not everyone will have them, kind of a status symbol.

Old Price was about 62 usd for the best one. I remember this because i bought one. If you remember the other prices please post here and i'll edit this topic.

My suggestion

Mantle of Covering (Defense Power+ 20)= 40 usd
Mantle of Raja (All abilities +5, 3600 hp) = 36 usd
Mantle of Dragon (Attack Power+ 30~48)= 30 usd
Mantle of Vigor (Effect + 3600 HP) = 20 usd

Suggestion By Lady Phoenix

Make multi-leveled capes is my suggestion. Instead of making it so players either get +20defence power or +0 make different levels. This will also help to balance out sw and other things.


Defense Mantle level 1: +5 defense power (2K RE)
Defense Mantle level 2: +10 defense power. level 61 requirement to wear it. (4K RE)
Defence Mantle level 3: +15 defense power. level 101 requirement to wear it. (6K RE)
Defense Mantle level 4: +20 defense power. level 121 requirement to wear it. (8K RE)

Then make a "mantle upgrade key" (2K AP). when you buy the key then apply it to a mantle, it will upgrade the mantle to it's higher level + keep the mantle dye color if it's previously dyed. This way people don't need to dish out $50 all at one time. New players trying out the game who are willing to spend $10 or so can still get a mantle and test it out before making a bigger investment. Plus sectioning off the mantles by levels will give 1 more thing for players to work for when they level up.

If you like this suggestion just say so in a reply as it will not be in the poll.

ur own opinion doesnt make that much sence... u say in ur 2nd paragraph that mantles are supposed to be rare but u want the price to be lowered aswell... on previous br server, capes werent even that rare with this price, why would u think they'd be rare with a lower price?

voted to keep same price...

When i say rare i mean dont suggest a price like 10 bucks. I personally think 60usd is alot to pay for a cape in a game. I can buy a brand new full game for that so the price comparison seems off for me. I know it adds to the game but its not really opening up a entirely new game.

capes are supposed to be rare... and a cape gives huge advantages to those who hv them... attack cape gives g3.5 - g5 force and defence cape gives 20 WHITE ac... that's huge benefits

i belive the best idea is to lower the price for things u can't obtain normaly in game such as cape..... and make the item u can obtain highly price.

[Atlantis]

I like that suggestion LP i'll edit it to the main poll and give you credit.

Tensu if you buy a brand new game for 60 bucks you can keep it forever. If you buy a 60 usd mantle you get it what 2 years? Maybe if the servers had a longer track record i would agree. But at this rate how many of these things are we going to have to buy?

[LadyPhoenix]

The problem isn't forking over the $90. Sure most of us are willing to do this 1 TIME PAYMENT. What about the server though? It gets flooded with money in the beginning but once everyone's got their mantles and shiny rares, the main source of income will be repair hammers and pills (not so much now with tt leeching and people will level faster). So I'm just saying give the server a way to gradually get income. Plus this system leaves the capes open for future upgrade. Say they raise the level cap to 200 someday in the far off future.

Plus I don't think it's right for sw chars to use full-powered mantles >_>

so uh... besides YOU, who else does this benefit?


"I need sards 'cause I'm too fcking lazy to get my own. Maybe I'll buy it from the mall. Oh noez! It's 1000RE! I guess I'm better off buying from grofire for 999RE "

OR

"I need sards 'cause I'm too fcking lazy to get my own. Maybe I'll buy it from the mall. Oh noez! It's 80RE! I guess I can afford that... but I can also get it for cheaper from a player if I just shop around. Darn. No one is online right now to sell me one but I need it for the PvP tourny in 1 hour. Fine I'll buy it for 80RE. It's a little pricy but not insanely priced."

yes u right im the only one who play the game, so its only helping me.

what about this seneries: "o no i can't win no one of the them coz thay all have caps, lets go and buy one omfg 60 $$ no way i won't buy that, and coz i can't match no one with out that i will just leave the game"

good work LP u just cost all of us with the new players !! keep doing ur good job i bet the server will be close less in a year time from now.
