Customizable Paint Jobs

Not gonna happen. Rather than wasting time on something like this I'd rather have them focus on new bots/ weapons/maps.

The mobile mindset non-american games have: Charge a lot for a little. Pix doesn't seem to understand why they aren't making what they want. Even if they kept the Au prices the same and had a revolving real money sale every weekend, they would make a real blowout compared to now. I remember how many more Rogs and Furys I saw pop up in silver tiers when they put them on sale.

If I were them, It'd be 2 au items a week (especially since they're bananas about what WSP 'costs')

Direct Purchase:
Gep, Aphid 20% off
Gareth, Gekko 20% off
Rog, Orkan: 20% off
Galahad, Aphid 20% off
Fury, Zues 20% off
Lance, Ancile 20% off
30 Day premium 15% off

Cycle something like that every month and a half and people that havent been playing for years might actually be inclined to spend real money instead of farming gold.

Paint jobs are a bit pricy, who in their right mind is going to spend a Galahad worth of gold on aesthetics unless they're a money whale or have everything after playing since release?

First off, $100 = 1 AAA game+ Dlc
OR a week's worth of groceries
OR a weekend of activities with irl buddies
OR a nice date with your other half


Here:$100 = 14k gold

4th Slot: 1000 Au
5th Slot: 5000 Au

8k Au left

Light Au bot: 1200

Medium Au bot: 2500

Heavy Au bot: 5000

Light Au weapon: 750

Medium Au Weapon: 1200

Heavy Au weapon: 1500

$100 at the start, 6-8 months of grinding, 1 year of upgrade times IF you know what you're doing and don't spend more Au.

They obviously need more revenue, putting out more items at high prices obviously isn't working for them.

Au earnings in game are more than fair, so much so that purchasing Au is optional for the people in the long haul.

If they want real money to come in without murdering the game via the nerf of in game rewards, offering a revolving table of DIRECT PURCHASE to customers that would open their wallet to a mobile game is the way to go.

The sales would have a long enough cycle time that they wouldn't be the end all to Au. Au rewards in game don't have to be nerfed for purchasing items with real money to have more appeal. Paying players have their edge.

The amount of people that are going to drop $100 into the game from the get-go are slim. The amount of people that are going to drop $100 into a mobile game at one particular moment pales in comparison to people that will throw $15-50 (average gaming budget of most of the people I know) to get something at a discount ead of grinding that extra month for it.

The highest grossing games are the ones that enthrall players and gently nudge them to make many small purchases until they're fully goaded into buying a more cost effective bundle. Games that outright look like "$100+ or gtfo" from the get go struggle in revenue. They get a few people that most call "money whales" that have a gratuitous amount of disposable income to sneeze away, but fail very VERY hard on keeping a continuous, stable community.

It's exceptionally kin to working Merchandising in retail, sales aren't really sales, prices are higher than they should be across the board, and the 'sale' is the actual retail price at which a profit can be made from the item and it's affiliated costs.

People are less likely to dole out $100 at a time on a product like this, with the incremental increases to the ratio of real money to gold, a user only has to make a few real money transactions to give pix a greater profit than if that user merely purchased a lump of Au. That is magnified by the fact that a smaller direct purchase instead of a currency exchange would entice people that would have otherwise not spent a cent. Hence why the first sale (orkan, rog, Fury) flooded the lower tiers with those items, when realistically, buying the Au for a rog & 2 Orkans would have been the more cost effective choice if the discount was only 5% smaller.

Tl:dr= work in marketing for a year or so and get back to me.

Best response to brush someone off. Tsk

Are you a kid pretending to be an adult or an adult who has yet to grow up? Your immaturity shows it, this thread is about custom paint shops And I mentioned its a waste of time given how fast they make new robots / maps / weapons. Then here comes mister smarty pants and lecture pixonic how they should do their marketing instead. Look who's the troll now "be gone" you fool.

I would NEVER throw down $100 on a mobile game, maybe not in my income bracket but certainly does not fill my return on "value" points.
If I *had* to spend $100 I'd probably jump on steam any buy between 4 to 10 games, games that would each give me at least 25+ hours of game play and I would own to play nearly forever. (There is a reason why steam is worth billions of dollars)

As a mobile game and one with no certain future, I would think most people would baulk at the idea of throwing large amounts of money at it.
I think it's pretty easy for most people to throw out a few $ a week to buy coffee or a chocolate bar, but the same people would certainly stop and rethink if they were asked to pay for a whole month's worth at once.

Small amounts are very easy to write off and really the idea of a good sale is value on return. I don't agree that Pixonic has found that balance. Why would I spend $30 on a Taran, when I could spend the same amount and buy the Witcher 3 for example?
