Something to help the players, and make HT $$
« on: December 09, 2014, 05:08:24 PM »
The option to buy things in-game with real money would be a huge plus for both the players and Hitech. In order to keep the spirit of the game fair, we would like to avoid performance enhancers.

So things like:
Sunglasses... $15. One time fee. (Would be hugely popular)
Skins... $1-$5 a skin. Of course, we don't want this to be all of the skins. Additionally, we could use perks to buy skins!
Gamer tag colors... $5 a color. This can only be done if HT decides to set the main chats, country, local, squad, 200 to specific colors.

Thoughts? Ideas?

Its not for me, I wouldn't spend a dime on any of that. I have far better things to do with my money, heck a six pack is more important than any of that stuff.

On the other hand, I'd be happy to pay $30 a month for my subscriptions if there were more fights and less hordes with more numbers. But that isn't really the way to get those things.

You're one person. Paying for something to make them stand out, is a popular thing among other games. People want to be noticed on the internet for some reason. Here's something to make them feel better about themselves and make HT money.

Ya heaven forbid someone work at standing out due to skill, lets PAY to stand out.  :(

I'll lend you Midway then see how that works out for you.  

The idea isn't that crazy just maybe more flexibility on HTC's part   lets say $8 dollars for a week sub or $2 for a day.    $10 for a month of non late war arena.

Once money started flowing that would lead to pay for perk planes then money would control fights.

A big -1

But a perk buy for these things would be interesting.

+1 for the idea.  

Maybe even custom skins and the like IF it ends up bringing in more players.  I'd rather have more players than being so rigidly aligned to WWII that numbers are too low to routinely find combat.

-1 one for any micro-transactions which affect gameplay mechanics (example, pay 1$ get full load of bombs mid-air, pay .75 and your pilot wound is bandaged up.... :bolt:)

I know freemium games are all the rage but there's nothing more depressing than playing a game against those who refuse to play the same game as you (because you don't have the +10 to flaps, or +5% collision avoidance...  :O

+1 if these transactions are COSMETIC ONLY in nature, then the revenue would be welcomed by HiTech i'm sure. And hey, it's not like there's a pink spitfire out there or anything...  <S> Pepper  :neener:

Maybe make it so a select few vehicles, examples would be the F8F, F7F, IS-3, P-80, and Vampire, could be sold as a package for say 15 bucks to unlock them and they still would have a perk price. Here's a way to add in those vehicles that just didn't make it.

Clearly you guys don't read the whole OP..

IF this was implemented, I would HOPE that HT wouldn't add micro-payments that effected the outcome of the game... No performance enhancing add-ons. Simply "appearance".

No. It will affect the game play within the arena.

Maybe buy another arena? But you can't effect the game play within the MA.

Bingo, better idea. Forgive me for being half awake. Pay 15 bucks and unlock a 1946-Korea arena. Pay 25 for a late 50s-60s arena :D

Why not! lol

Granted, the time it would take to design the planes would be a while.. I see the additional arena being a while until it's implemented. I'd rather but HT resources towards the MA.
