Remember when the Tempest got introduced a couple of months ago? For a while it was available for 2500 keys. Now it is a lot more expensive.
Do you think other new stuff like Storm and Hover will be priced higher aswell after the event?
I have the feeling that we now see some sort of initial discount pricing so there's a couple of players raising interest by showing the capabilities of the new toys to other players in battle. Once the whole player base has seen the new stuff being very effective, the costs will be increased drastically.

Tempest was available either from chest or by buying with help of real money before and chest were temporary for event time only..now chest is gone and they stopped sales the peep who didn’t buy it or got it from event wanted it ..so for f2p players they bought components and also a option to buy it for higher price..tempest didn’t do as much damage as it does now before so that’s the reason it got costlier..storm on other hand is too easy to get..I already have two and bought comp only thrice or four times max with wp or gold ,got em mostly from bm compared to tempest which was not that easy to get unless you opened a 1k gold chest during event when it was released ....I highly doubt they will increase their price

Tempest was $20 rm and top prize for summer tourney, which is how I ended up with 3 of them. I was very disappointed until the buffs. Then I got a bunch of components and got a 4th. Now it is a mainstay for me.

No, because they made a point to say that the pricing on the Hover and Storm was their form of an apology to the players. The Storm, okay, not too bad. But the Hover, please. If it cost 1.7mil silver I wouldn't buy it. And $50 is their affordability pricing. While I think they're still off base with their price to value ratios, I can't see them increasing the price of either of those releases. They aren't overpowered so they don't get the overpowered price.
Expect the Redeemer to be at least $99 though. Maybe even $149. They don't mean they're going to redeem their image with it, they're going to redeem their monetization strategy. It's a Dash destroyer and will be priced like one.

I do not believe any of the serious gear will be affordable. |

Im not sure about this at all
but my felling says they will be carefule with priceing next time
the 「dookie」 storm they had on all platforms was heavy
and i think they didnt plan to relise hover and storm that fast and
to a price which is comperable to there used priceing
imhso they did it to calm down the comunity
think next stuff will be at about the hover/storm range

The more you tell them its OP, the higher the price will be when it comes out. And if it's not OP enough they'll just jack up the damage and the price when they release it.

I remember when gasoline was .28 cents a gallon. Tells you how old I am  . Mail.RU will price stuff and put stuff on sale for whatever the market will bear. If they think a bot will sell for $500, so be it. They can always lower (or raise) it. Remember, the Russkies have done a VERY good job of figuring out how capitalism works. My hat is off to them for that. The have it down pat. You can yell and scream about prices all you want. If someone has the rubles/dinero/shekels/moolah to buy it, they will. Pissing and moaning won't accomplish a thing. Never has and never will.  |

Something tells me it's going to be the next Ember Yeah it isn't just Haechi dominance that will suffer, the Redeemer is so strong that the only viable robot will be a Lancelot with a Redeemer, except for a Shocktrain Haechi. Maybe a Raijin with Double Redeemers, but you want a physical shield against that beast definitely. Still, Shocktrain Haechi doesn't get hit much if played right... Pissing and moaning won't accomplish a thing. Never has and never will. The community has been able to push Pixonic to do many things. |

The hover won't go up. It's not cheap right now, but reasonable compared to dashes and inquisitors. Although, I don't see people jumping through hoops to get them. We'll see if people grind it out after christmas, but I bet they're sick of grinding and Pix reads that as it will only sell worse if they crank the price up. Naturally.
BUT, the storm will likely go up. Watch the videos of Adriannn and Manni running storm ancillots and even deadlier storm bulgasaris and haechis. They are more dangerous than thunder carnys. I'd say much more dangerous. It won't be a huge price increase, but you can get one for $13 right now. I bet it goes up at a minimum to $30 for 10k components.

Let me just bring you up to speed on the situation; www.develop-online.net/news/mail-ru-acquires-developer-pixonic-for-30-million/0224869That was back on October 3rd, 2016. You are no longer dealing with Pixonic when it comes to War Robots and $$$. Pixonic is the developer. They are NOT in charge of the purse strings and haven't been for a while. |

I think bronzeknee is fully aware of that. This matter was fully examined to the best of forumites abilities before. people even analysed the financials and alike. |

Now if only they can change the plasma colours for Magnum and Tarans to the same colour as the Redeemer, that'll be AWESOME!! Actually no. I like the blue fire of the Redeemer. Sadly though, I predict that this weapon will be a component only weapon and will cost as much as the Ember. Dang....and I'm about 2/3 of the way to get an Ember. Oh well, eventually, I think I'll have a Carnage with Ember/Redeemer. Take that Haechi! |
