Everyone i know either wants cute/casual skins or sexy ones. (And that’s the same opinion i’m finding online)
It seems like they’re trying to please a small target audience or they are just that bad at guessing what players want (heh imagine if there was a way of getting feedback from players… oh wait)
I would also want to know who asked for omen skins and was it more than 1 person that voice mattered more than the thousands wanting sexy/casual skins
We’ve had polls both for skins and classes, and feedback has been shared constantly since and during up to release. There is no way they are unaware about either topic.
Things are moving slowly internally, or they have their own ideas and on some topics feedback is not taken into account regardless how much of it gets forwarded. Both are undesirable, but I’d prefer if what was being said mattered even if just a little.
I read that message that as players want skins that are sexy or not sexy, not “players want omen skin” so…what? Bikini skins are season based, KR players say they’re released during the summer. Is it summer yet? Honestly I’d rather filter through the “crappy” skins and then just get all good ones after.
That would be like adding a filter toggle for lewd outfits. The changes and design choices aren’t made to appease one side. The changes and design choices are designed as an unflinching law set in stone.
It’s funny you mention this because there are competitions for skin design and smilegate actually implements the skin design that wins the competition.
If you consider that when they do finally release those skins they will sell well, but these unpopular ones wouldnt, it makes sense to sell them first while player options are limited.
Can’t tell if this is a counter argument but it still remains that Smilegate is the one that pulls the trigger on a lot of it. I understand that there’s a competition and the next one that’s up for polling is for their 4th anniversary but from what I can glean is that AGS has to run things through Smilegate to approve unlocks and releases of things. Idk how their contract is but I don’t think the host of the game can willingly release things without devs approvals
That makes sense and i agree with them not releasing all the skins at once and what not, however i think they could also make money by releasing some wanted skins.
People are impulse buyers they start playing and they want to buy a skin on the first day and
alot of those players will quit without ever buying a skin because there simply isn’t anything to buy.(as they’re not within the target audience which is quite thin) This is alot of potential money AGS losing.
IMO both the players and ags is losing on that, altho i am not a marketing proffesional.
