Flynn Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 I have been eyeballing the Pack of Revelations for probably a week or two now and often pondering when would be the right time to strike and get, when suddenly last Friday there's a post from Matt: Going through this the night it was posted, I was, along with probably a lot of other people, excited! After so long, a rework to our (beloved?) Armas Marketplace. So I'd found my reason to wait, so I wanted to wait until this Armas update was pushed through. What do I see when the update comes out? Along with a fresh coat of paint, the first thing I check is the packs and I see the price went up from $50 to $70. Looking at it now, it says specifically "Of the items reduced, the price has been lowered on average by 30%". Was my hype warranted for the price drop? Or did I once again set my expectations too high? What do you guys think about this realistically saddening wording? Clever, in my opinion but equally saddening as that's the one thing I actually wanted.
CookiePuss Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 I'm not sure you can blame LO for your poor reading comprehension. 1
Yoss Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Quote Bundles have been updated to reflect the standardized pricing with some seeing an increase 1
Kerelith Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 It says very clearly in the part you copied that bundle prices have been changed to reflect the price changes with some seeing an INCREASE. I personally read that as a warning that bundles with a ton of stuff in them are more likely to cost more now than before.
ZoriaDunne Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 So, no one bough that pack before, neither is going to now. 3 1

Genobee Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Honestly doesn't bother me too terribly much. The pack offers quite a bit of content even at the adjusted price. If anything it's just in the same ballpark as it was prior to the G1C price adjustments. Eh.
Flynn Posted February 14, 2019 Author Posted February 14, 2019 oh so it actually turns out i'm a damn buffoon so sorry i wish my brain was as big as my eighteen wheeler
Clandestine Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Still no account wide variants for every sold item and right now it's hard to even figure out what is char and what is acc wide.
Lign Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) LO doesn't understand that quantity doesn't mean quality. The pack provides a lot stuff such as 5 weapons, a new car and 4 packs of clothing but they all suck. I barely see someone using new car due to bad handling, it's actually even worse than its alternatives bishada or jericho. Weapons, I don't even want to talk about it, clothing can be bought separately and the only one I see around in the game is war tech pants. Edited February 14, 2019 by Lign 1

So, what's the point of buying it for this price if most interesting things are available separately. Let's take a look at Juggernaut pack. Pretty pants, nice looking hat, better looking knee pads than the version for 99g1c(imo), 2 good competitive weapons that I use sometimes such as lmg and smg versions of S1. The only things suck in the pack are assault rifle version of S1 and espacio with kits Edited February 14, 2019 by Lign

The only things suck in the pack are assault rifle version of S1 and espacio with kits no need to overexplain this. the price is, as you said, related to the amount of content. and pricing contents equally - without regard to e.g. how meta a weapon is - is reasonable. they should be equally as good (though different niches (obvs for weapons and cars, also kind of for kits and clothing)) and if that's not the case, that's not something that should be addressed with pricing but with fixes. so, as this contains a lot of content, the price is okay-ish. even if you subjectively don't like the clothing and the kit, a weapon is normally 1600, so 5 weapons for the pack price is more than fair. the weapons are also not as bad as you try to claim... but could use some tweaks.
Goldtiger Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 That 70$ could be spent on a game that's in a way better state than this one, and you'd probably get more content from it. Just putting that out there. 1
MartisLTU Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 $78.65 ....APB or any new AAA game with deluxe or even greater edition hmm .....
WhiskeyTangoFoxX Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 All things considered, the pack of revelations pass had been one of the best bang for buck pack to the point of being ludicrously cheap, so I saw it coming that it would take a hike upwards. I personally didn't buy the pack before, and I can say with absolute certainty that I won't buy it now.
BlatMan Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) Everything is still stupid expensive. Ok, not everything. One particular item is cheaper and I'm going to take advantage of that. Otherwise, still too expensive. Not saying which item either. Edited February 15, 2019 by MrsHappyPenguin

vsb Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 seems like both account bound packs have been returned to "normal" price, and numerous other items have had price changes/equalizations
-Rachel- Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 I have had this pack since it came out, did they ever make the weapons not terrible?

I could never make the Curse work, I guess that will continue. Boot timer on Oblivion? I don't remember what you mean. Also, that's too bad... Yeah the Misery looks just bad, it's TTK and Range don't match up very well. *sigh* Oh Harbinger. It's such a cool idea, but it's so awful in implementation I always loved the concept.
