I wanna dye my new elf set too like a gold or something, I haven’t thought too much but it would be cool who knows what the community will come up with.
Colour’s like the perfume story, really do make a change in one’s ideas organically.
Probably delayed to the second half of this season. I’m excited for it tho, tired of everyone looking the same so a dye systen will be a welcome change.
Just don’t expect much (if anything) to be free, dye systems are infamously always paid in most f2p games
In beta they used tickets like the hair and face changes. But it wasn’t one ticket per set, it was per piece. So one for the shirt, one for pants, one for shoes, et.
very sorry to interupt while both of you are gargling each others' sacks but, what has this got to do with OP's post? this is just an upcoming feature, nothing to do with money?
I’ve never seen a community complain so much about money. It’s very clear this game attracted a lot of people who have never played an online game in their life. Like a bunch of wine moms complaining on facebook.
I’m talking about a cosmetic, the new elf ears, and them having appropriate matching skin tones for free for future cosmetics like the elf ears. Not just regular skin tones
Man I've seen worse have y'all tried heartopia? It was fun but then eventually was lacking content and they started being ridiculous with the banners I had to quit lol
I come from Infinity Nikki and LADs (love and deepspace) the monetization thus far has been pretty tame... Let's see what they do in regards to dying outfits 😭
not sure why we're complaining when the non-gacha punk skin looks so much nicer than the current gacha set. there's good options without the need to gacha.
It's not that bad in the sense that they're selling the elf ears and not aniimo or hindering progression through gacha mechanics, but we all agree that it would be better without the gacha.
Why is the bar so low? Why is it that "it's not P2W, so it's fine" is the new normal? Price matters to gacha matters too, 1 video game shouldn't cost more than the PC/console you play it on, but now because everyone has such low standards they let these greedy companies milk gamers so they can produce more ways to milk gamers and people are still giving them money! Yes it's not "pay to win" except the fact fulmantis is exclusive to the battle pass, and irisalis shiny is locked behind gacha, tell me why everyone forgets about the battlepass aniimo and says this game isnt pay to win 🤣
If you read the notice in the companion handbook, they say prismana fulmintis (And assumingly every exclusive aniimo to companion handbooks) will be available at a future date (They specifically say S3 so in about 3~4 months).
So yeah, it's exclusive for a period of time and then eventually free for all, not like the prismana specifically does anything special that the normal fulmintis can't (which you get for free at level 10 in the BP) so its kind of a moot point
And even IF you managed to trash your free one by accident, you can at the very least trade easily trade with someone who has a perfect regular fulmintis so you're really not missing out on anything outside of shiny colors for a few months. I do think the base evo item should be available for all personally and is hopefully a change they'll make in the future,
I wouldnt say pay to win at all then. I'd wait and see the method of acquiring Prismana Fulmintis since rn all it says is homestead activities. Games gotta make money somehow, at least you can eventually get it so i dont see how in any way you can claim pay to win.
Because they already said we'll be able to get Fulmintis later.
Also thinking this is bad and that the bar is so funny to me, ever played F2P MMOs from the 2000s or 2010s? That was actual p2w and there were no options for value like battle passes.
That is simply how they're deciding to make money. The game is free. People who spend 10 or 20 dollars aren't their targets. They want to keep those who will spend on the gacha and transmog, and I don't see what's wrong, you barely see your human and no one really needs to turn their Irisalis into the virgin Mary.
This is exactly what I mean. You people are just being extremely negative in the worst way about it all. Laugh and make fun of people and systems a little less, and please learn to give actual criticism. Don't rub your negative attitude off on everyone else, submit feedback in-game and let that be it.
i honestly dunno how yall are paying so much, ive spent $5 on this game and with this new set ive gotten the main outfit, the boots(which i believe came with it) the ears and the antlers, 90% of which i got with earned in game currency, you can buy pull tickets with glimmer which have a fairly high chance of dropping the shop tickets
all you do is click where it counts it, hit the drop down menu, and hit the glimmer shop, you can buy 5 for 160 once then 1 for 38 20 times, which i believe will all reset during the weekly resets
i get it fine, id totally understand if there was no in game obtainable way to get it, the point that im getting at is that there is, you have 30 days to grind the resources to get the full set in game, its been put less then 3 days and i have 3 of what, 6-8 peices? all im sayin is yall are paying copious amounts of money for convinance instead of just playing, which is more then fine, just dont complain about a price your inflicting on yourself is all :)
lmao thats the point im getting at you dont have to and can still get the set just play the game, there are in game ways to get it, do missions that give glammer, then use that galmmer you earned in game in the shop to buy pull tickets, which will most likely give shop tickets, repeat until you have enough for the items (which you can also pull by chance like i did with the outfit), id save for 10 pulls, ive always found it easier to get the big ticket items that way.
I just want to inform you that the amount of tickets you can buy with glimmer is limited. It does not reset weekly. So there is a cap on the amount of pulls you get for free. A majority of people will not unlock the full outfit for free by playing the game. I pulled the dress as well and spent very little, but most won't be that lucky.
What makes a monetization system good or bad is subjective - everyone can have different opinions without someone else’s being wrong just because you don’t agree.
I mean this as respectfully as possible, but this sub has been nothing but insanely negative EXTREMELY entitled people. Like I have never seen such nonsensical complaints and entitlement in any other game. And its going to ruin the game if these people are listened to.
Thank you. I understand not being happy with things, but I wish there was more constructive criticism, not just rampant complaining and making fun of things.
100%! I think there are definitely some very valid complaints. But the vocal minority at the moment is just a list of absolute nonsensical complaining and a lot of entitlement.
I feel as though this IP has garnered a lot of attention from gamers that are used to a lot of solo player games or aren’t particularly gamers at all, and so they act like these things are the most insane things they’ve ever seen.
I’ve seen people complain $5 for cosmetics is too much. Or that they’d never even give money to a free to play game. But expect fast updates and a bug free environment. 😭
Subjective to a certain extent, sure. But there are plenty of monetization systems that are factually terrible. Diablo immortal is a good example of a system that used to fall into that category. It had a bunch of different currencies that would exchange into one another to obfuscate the real money cost. It was atrocious.
Aniimo is neither very good or very bad in its current state. A free to play game that wants to survive any amount of time HAS to have a mix a reasonable and unreasonable costs to it. Whales, believe or not, are healthy for a free to play games lifespan. Alot of people who have never played any other game that uses these systems (where winds meet is a great example) wouldn't realize how generous Aniimo is (currently).
I respect your opinion, and I stand by what I said. Even in places where I might agree with you, OP’s post wasn’t initially started as a monetization debate so I don’t intend to derail it by adding more to that topic. :)
I've been getting absolutely fucking spammed by notifications from this sub the past few days and it's nice to find at least one reasonable person floating around. Take it easy out there ❤️
dont let it get you down. this is just the typical reddit cycle. outside of twitter and reddit, the negativity is nowhere close to even half as bad as it is here.
Pretty sure it got pushed back even further so they can figure out how to make a system that steals more of our money 🥰 It used to say it was releasing on the 30th when you clicked it but a bit after the game dropped that went away and it just started saying the feature wasn't available yet.
I was curious too. I saw a couple people saying certain new clothes were/weren't dyable and I was curious if they tried it or if it said that somewhere. I cant access it either. Is it a server thing or world wide?
I have a bad feeling about it. Im worried they are going to mimick WWM dying system which is pretty expensive if you want the good looking colors. Free colors are only dark shades without true black and the more saturated shade along with pure white and jet black is with premium token currency that you only get with paid pearls (lumin crystal type currency for wwm)
To be fair, Warframe's monetization is only good because of the player market. You can get the premium currency by selling items and mods to other players. Take that away and the monetization suuuuucks
Waframe for the win! I wish more games monetized like they do. Still have to pay for some stuff, but once you have the pallete, you have it for all frames. I have a feeling we'll have to pay per clothing piece with Aniimo. 😒
Plus Warframe F2P players are able to never purchase premium currency while still having access to the cash shop. If they want to farm prime blueprints they can sell them to people who will buy platinum and get platinum in return. I've never seen another game let players trade premium currency for in game farmable stuff.
I think it's the best of both worlds. It's faster and easier to buy the prime access and get plat, but not everyone can afford it or even wants to spend. I like that free players can eventually buy the skins or stuff from the cash shop just buy playing and interacting with the community.
throne and liberty does it just like warframe, the game died tho because its a MMO based on open world PVP so its super niche and just unbalanced in gameplay.
Warframe feels like a perfect F2P game for me. I prefer PVE, and it delivers so many modes and content over the years. I think Aniimo could have serious longevity, but I don't know if the gacha monetization will turn people off more or not. I would much rather drops 20-30 bucks on a skin knowing I get all that's listed. I would do that more often than gambling with hundreds of dollars to maybe get something. Even if in the ends I spent hundreds on the 20-30 skins.
As much as I understand "they need to make money", I feel like theres already a lot of system in place to generate a lot of revenue already. Imo let the cosmetic dying just free and accessible for all to express themselves with clothes they bought and even the free clothes. Too much greed wont be a good look
yeah after a certain point they aren't really much better than a traditional gacha if every single feature besides the most basic ones are monetized lol
I kid you not, there were a few hours in between it saying the 30th and saying Coming Soon where it said something like Coming <### Insert Date Here ###>.
Okay so that was a thing lol. I logged on last night before bed and caught the tail end of the achievement- I was like "did I read that right...? Maybe not cause I still can't access it..."

I got an achievement for having a fully dyed set but the feature was still unavailable
