How are perks pay to win?
Because you can pay to reduce the grind to unlock them and they give your character a statistical advantage. In the original release they were a number of blatantly overpowered perks, and because each fighter tracks level ups separately, the amount of grinding without paying to unlock the meta perks could be astronomical. Not to mention every character started with access to no perks at all. Yeah, they say each character will start with a full set, but signature ones change the way moves function or occasionally give them new moves outright, and if those changes improve the character and are locked behind tedious grinding that can be circumvented by paying, that's pay to win.
I don't think perks was that bad, I honestly didn't even know you could pay to unlock them because you could literally have all of them in a few hours. I do agree that it was annoying to try a new character and have no perks, but you unlock them so fast that it didn't matter that much to me. On that aspect, I would say the game was actually fairly generous compare to other free to play game.
One issue late into the beta was they released an update that made it harder to earn perks through grinding by increasing the length of time and ramping up the difficulty it takes to get them. It’s fairly obvious why.
With all due respect, do not mistake "less scummy" for generosity. It wasn't "a few hours" I played plenty and still didn't have everyone's perks in the entire time it was up. I had maybe four or five characters maxed out. Combined with this V
It's blatantly clear that they want the game to have pay to win elements. Morty's perks were, iirc, notoriously overpowered. Either the perks need to all be available for every character at launch, or they shouldn't have them at all.
Honestly on the one hand I think that Signature Perks specifically are a pretty cool concept that kinda shakes up the old "custom moves" thing in ways that can really switch up how a character plays, and I think that brings about a lot of potential, but I'm absolutely agreed with you on thinking that Perks being a monetized aspect of the game just isn't a good choice both in terms of competitive advantages and in terms of just outright player fairness.
Especially with this in mind. Obviously the game's F2P so there were always going to be some elements like this, but I naively hoped they'd stick to stuff like cosmetics as opposed to gameplay-altering matters or deliberately putting the actual roster on rotation. Imo when people think up a "live service platfighter" a lot of people imagine more stuff like continual support and the like, as opposed to like, "Oh yeah, you can pay us to get outright buffs to your character's speed AND homing projectiles" or something.
I think we have enough Bruisers and Assassins in the game, so let's go with a different class for Ben's moveset.
Much as I hate to say it, I'd rather just not have Ben if he's forced into just one alien, because that's not Ben 10, that's that alien. At minimum, he needs three. I personally still like the idea I presented in the OG video I did, with 5 aliens each representing a different class. You can do all OG or a composite set, but I want Ben 10 for all of him, not just one part of his unlimited potential.
I agree with Capybara that I'd rather not have Ben 10 having only one transformations, it feels kinda pointless, but if I really had to choose I'd go with XLR8. I think it's one of the most iconic transformation and it could have a very fast play style.
Agreed. I was merely giving the prompt some leeway by answering it.
After thinking about that gameplay, I think the biggest issue is the amount of hitstun applied per hit. It looks like a little too much.
Doubt it. The 12th is a Sunday and not counting the NHL game we generally don’t get news on a Sunday.
If this is true, then it would be rather safe. But at least we would have new characters to begin with if this is true.
I'd put money on Marceline. With how often the game's producer has talked about them, they've always been a when rather than an if.
And she's also been in multiple rumors about this game.
If that's the newcomers lineup it's fine, but I wish there would be at least a new franchise introduced. Still very excited to see how Joker will play out.
I was thinking Walter White, but I had a hunch someone would make this joke.
There actually is an account for Muscle Man too.
I honestly wouldn't be opposed, that sounds hilarious.
clue was "where are we?" from the episode breaker of chains, which is also the given title of Daenerys
who is Guzmo
On the Gizmo combo clip, they misspelled Gizmo as Guzmo before correcting it.
