Can we please do something about these three different buffs? I know many of you will argue and say you dont need em you can play without them etc. While thats fine if you dont need them, you are welcome to play how you want. But I like to maximize my limited game time as much as I can. If the items sat on the MP sure I could spend my earned in game currency to purchase them but they are never listed.

 

Why not just make a subscription? I would gladly pay $20/$25 a month to have those three buffs applied to my account. It would be an easy way to calculate MRR (monthly recurring revenue), I am sure many people would pay it. Its way more healthy for a game to have a sub than a cashshop you can still keep the cashshop for all the other stuff. Its much easier to hire developers, purchase infrastructure, etc if you know how much income something is going to bring in. Rather than winging stuff based on whales if there at still any left.

 

Another fix would be to have those buffs stop counting when your logged off. I dont really care much to leave my rig on overnight. If those buffs stopped counting while your not online that would be amazing. Then you would be able to use what you purchased. I dunno anyone else have some thoughts on this?

i thought that was implemented already that those buffs timer dont decrease while your offline aw man 

they should at least make them 30 days instead of 15 that way players just need to buy 3 instead of 1 vp 2 kama and 2 book whatever every month

Family buffs duration continues even if you're offline, while character buff duration does not continue when you're offline.

Oh but you can subscribe. Just buy all those buffs from Pearl Shop.

 

What? 

 

You don't think 65 EUR/USD per month is a reasonable subscription price?

 

Madness? Madness?!!

 

This. Is. BDOOOOOOO!!!

 

(and yes it's ridiculous and yes, a 15 USD/month sub should be enough to get those benefits, and more)

No, what happens is, when the servers are offline for the weekly patching they don't tic down, but the moment the servers come back up they start ticing again.

Even playing the game semi-casually costs dem Acoins 😉

 I agree, though, that they should combine th VP, Old Moon and Kama buffs into one synchronised package. I hate to be cynical and untrusting of PA, but their marketing of these buffs smacks of price gouging.

Realistically yes, they should combain it into one buff.

But they are gready, and they know that if they combine it into a 65$/month subscription not many would pay and it would be a literal meme instead. Like you pay 65$/month and the game is still heavily P2W lol...

Currently with the items people get it in packs (so some discount applies) and paying smaller amount seperately, hides how much money they spend every month, so make it more aceptable. (it's a marketing trick)

Agreed! These three should be rolled in to one package. I payed $15 monthly subscription for years to play other games. This gave you many benefits/perks/necessaties and they still had cash shop items you could choose to buy, or not. As long as you paid the $15 per month though, you were good, as far as game play and content.
