The paint being one time use and the skins like panda or dinosaur being 1 character only is insane when you compare those to warframe.

@RealAsianRobot

Yes, I dislike that the Panda or Dinosaur are fully individual, but the paints are honestly okay. 50 cents per paint is something most can afford and not all skins need to be painted up (maid outfit for instance is gross in most colours). I don't mind the system too much, as the only monetization is cosmetic.

Really glad you took the time out to look into the pricing stuff nice

Its all a prosses. If you wanna skip the prosses you can by purchasing. However this defeats the purpose of playing and progressing. Its a hell of a grind yes, but im personally ok with that for it's more rewarding when completing a Descendant/weapon. Skins, paints and cosmetics in general is purely a choice of wanting to look cooler. Its a free to play and wanting to pay is all up on you. Cheers.

I maintain that the paint system is way too strict. Yes, 50 cents doesn't sound like a lot, and I can see a bunch of the skins not needing recoloring. However, let's say you really like the color red and want to add it to everything. My understanding is that the helmet/head and body are two separate skins as far as the game is concerned, so that's actually a dollar if you want to add a splash of red to a character. Now lets say that you want to be able to add red to every character. NOW we're talking $1 USD times however many characters you own. Then you gotta consider that the game treats weapons differently with dyes, I believe. Now let's say you want to add some black. Gotta go through that all over again. It may not seem like much at first, but for a dye system it feels like they went for the most nickel and dime way imaginable, compared to a game like Warframe that just sells color pallet sets for $5 to $10 USD (been a while since I last played). What The First Descendant ends up doing, at least in my particular case, is, when normally I would like to experiment and toy around with different color combinations, it just ends up discouraging me from wanting to engage with a cosmetic system in the game entirely. What it feels like is that these developers are used to what MTX models are used in their particular region and are trying to apply it to a game they want to have go global, and I just don't think in the grand scheme of things it's going to go over well. I feel like paints should be game-wide, and ideally be able to buy a "bundle" that is a particular color pallet selection if they are going to go this route. I just feel like, no matter how much some may want to explain how it's "not that bad", the regular player is just going to see this system, consider it greedy, and get turned off from it.

Unless they alter it before then, my first focus will be to grow until I hit top 5 at least and then approach them with a public video done politely about how they can benefit from the system they have now.

A huge shortcut to a long grind is pay to win in my opinion. Just because it's *possible* to get it for free doesn't matter.

@@RealAsianRobot "a time-scale cannot be imposed" Yeah, that's exactly my point and where I was going with the example. The time is irrelevant; skipping a grind, whether it's six days, weeks or months by opening up your wallet is pay to win because by doing so you're getting a significant advantage over those who are not paying. That's the provable, objective definition I'm going by. I understand that people like playing the game for free, but that's irrelevant to the point I'm making. Just because something is p2w doesn't mean that it can't still be fun without paying.
