    Hi there narrow mindedness and conformism.

    kinda freaking stupid to call it a lotto ticket, when it's a style anyone can have, this would help the devs make money and players that weren't here during the time allow to get them if they wanted to.

    Tired of these kids begging for another shot at the og auras. Lol go buy the aura pack and call it a day.
    If you wasn't participing during the past bundles then you don't deserve the auras. Deal with the fact that there is exclusivity.

    If you really wanted the auras so bad you would have gotten them but alas not everyone can win. Take the bronze medal and give up for once

    Tired of these obnoxious kids that need exlusivity to boost their ego on a game.

    1 this idea would allow anyone to get any aura's from the BB that no longer are being sold.
    2 not my friend just someone i knew, and players like i said would want this, i keep forgetting this is the forums run by certain players not the community.
    3 How will they be cheated they can finally get the darn aura they wanted! another chance without the stupid %1 chance of getting it.
    4 i agree that they should be used for new aura, but i still think this is a very good idea for players who wanted those aura's.
    5 The heck, you're all wearing the same aura's right now! or same harley quinn hair or amazon hair or New aura's. everyone gets the same styles in game.

    i'm not a kid, and i'm not asking for myself cause as i already said i got the one aura i want the blue solar and i'm happy with that, but this idea was made for players who didn't get the aura that could spend idk about $20 for all four of those BB aura's.

    i like the idea you think so you mean new customers don't deserve a chance,man i would hate to see you run a business.
  7. Lord Jareth Steadfast Player

    i mean frankly if i was being serious i really don't care, i forgot how hateful these forums can be at times, but i see these comments on how they didn't get the aura, and we just did get a new aura pack, so i figure put one into one make the devs a little more money hey good idea.

    So how exactly is this fair to the people who spent 100+. Or even 200+ to get an EXCLUSIVE item, and got it? Since they spent that money on getting that EXCLUSIVE item, DayBreak would have to refund all that money, because they would have TRICKED a bunch of people into spending all sorts of money on something that was a one time deal. Basic commerce. You can't sell something as EXCLUSIVE, and then wait for time to pass, and then sell it again. That makes it NOT exclusive. And it makes it false advertisement.

    It's not about "I need my precious Exclusive Items to feel important".

    If you want the Aura, they are still in the broker... Go spend a few days byte farming. Sell stacks of bits. Earn Millions. Buy an Aura. Don't beg for handouts.

    Lord i normally agree with you but im going to have to not on this. Exclusive items exist in every game, sometimes its timing sometimes its luck, either way they are just thay exclusive and in no way affect game play, they are vanity. Yes i would love to have an og plasmic but thats the way it is. I wasn't around when they gave out the hack hoodies or i don't have the trinket people got for pre ordering or the batman mask, because i wasn't there and thats fine. Add in thr fact these auras cost real money is all the more reason the people who got them should keep their exclusivity. Was it all luck yes but they still got them. Release auras in the mp in the future but as for old ones leave them be.

    1) Saying "they where exclusive" is not a reason if they were made exclusive "just because."
    2) Leaving and coming back to MMO is not uncommon and it doesn't mean you don't actually like the game. However this is not a reason to not release these auras.
    3) What about them? If they bought 10 bundles they got 10 auras. Those auras wouldn't be taken away from them if they were made purchasable individually. On top of the main reason for the bundle: discount on convenience items which also wouldn't be taken away from them. They lose nothing and were cheated out of nothing.
    4) This is not a reason to not release the auras in question.
    5) The point of customization is to provide options to allow a player to create a character that fits their playstyle and idea of lore for their characters. If you are worried about someone having the same as you you may as well delete your characters. I can guarantee that someone else is wearing every style piece you choose including any precious and "exclusive" auras.

    Respect doesn't come blindly. Saying it was not forced is also not entirely correct as if you wanted that aura you were indeed forced to buy the bundles hoping to get one or deal with the inflated in-game economy more worried about making Cash then spreading something awesome with the rest of the community.

    And that has to do with not releasing them individually (or in a pack) how exactly? In terms of the forced aspect see above. in terms of the richer aspect see above. In terms of not allowing to win the game... what? So as long as something on the Marketplace doesn't help you win the game you'll support it? Spoken like a true loyal dog!

    Almost everything awarded in traditional gambling can be obtained separately at your own cost albeit at a higher cost than a single ticket. Why exactly can't that be the case for the "exclusive" Booster Bundle auras?

    Again "just because" is not a reason to not release them again.


    So devote your life and disposable income to DCUO and you'll get styles you like? Forget about the fact that maybe you were away from home at the time of the bundles release (for whatever your personal reasons are) or didn't have the disposable income to purchase bundles. Yeah? You can't buy bundles if you don't have access to your gaming machine/console since they require you to be logged in and able to play/stay connected to the game. And you can't just wait for income to come in since they were only around for a limited time nor can you take your time getting Cash since the longer you wait the less unconsumed auras their are to go on the Broker or Trade channels. Thus increasing the inflated in-game cost every day you can't buy one.

    I really don't think we should be supporting a "first come first serve" attitude when it comes to customization when there is a clear desire to have these auras past the point of the limited time.

    No, exclusive items should stay exclusive, and this is coming from someone without an OG plasmic, nimbus or smoke. What I would love to see in the next aura pack would be:

    -White smoke
    -Black nimbus
    -Pink radiant
    -Cyan plasmic

    If they bought 100 bundles they got 10 auras. If they bought 200 bundles they got 20 auras. Those auras wouldn't be taken away from them nor would the discounted convenience items each bundle included. Daybreak wouldn't have to refund anything. They got exactly what they paid for. Nothing more and nothing less. No one was tricked if they actually read what they were buying.

    "You can't sell something as EXCLUSIVE, and then wait for time to pass, and then sell it again. That makes it NOT exclusive" -- Yeah that's kind of the point especially when it was made "exclusive" "just because" and for no real reason. ;)
  13. coldchilln88 Loyal Player

    It was made exclusive to entice people to buy the bundles, thats not just because or no reason. They were exclusive because they were the most desirable ones. The whole reason people bought so many was for that reason to get one. You come back and re release them yes that is awful business practices.

    There's no point even debating any of this. The fact of the matter is the OG auras will not be coming back in any way, shape or form. Discussing it and debating it won't change the facts. Threads like this are literally an exercise in futility.

    I don't have alot of items in game because i wasn't there. Do i want them sure but i dont need them. You don't need every style ever released in game. You just dont. You might get something in the future that they release that is exclusive but an older player might have left during that time and comes back after now he missed out while you have the exclusive. Leave them be

    I was able to score a few of the auras I really wanted and wasn't lucky enough to score from a BB. Not to say everyone can afford them but everyone has the ability to buy one, provided the funds and if there are any of these "exclusive" auras remaining that haven't been collected.
  17. light FX Steadfast Player

    No. Exclusive OG auras should remain exclusive. And its imo its pretty extreme to quit a game and get depressed over an aura. Its pixels. I just think its pretty silly that some meaningless pixels would cause someone to be depressed and quit the game.

    So would it also be bad business to not release styles again knowing for sure that many players would like to buy them but never had the chance to do so for whatever reason? There were many other auras in those bundles including the, main reason you should have bought the bundle, discounted convenience items you got. Any aura (exclusive or not) was always said to be a bonus. So yes there was no real reason they were made "exclusive" since, arguably, some of the "lower" auras enticed player more than the "higher" auras. A clear example of that was the bundle that focused on Glimmering auras as the rarer auras in the aura box. For a lot of people the common auras were what enticed players to buy that version of the bundle and not the rarer ones.

    This isn't entirely true, as I have taken breaks and came back after the BB event. I used my in game money to get what I wanted.

    Part of their value is their exclusivity. If you start releasing more, it will devalue the item already delivered under the agreement that they WOULD be exclusive. It would be breaking a promise. If you bought a car that was supposed to be exclusive to you (we're talking high end, here), and three months later, you see other people driving your same car, you would be pissed, and rightfully so. You paid a premium for exclusivity and now you don't have it. And this wasn't assumed exclusivity, it was stated emphatically.

    This wasn't "just because". It was an agreement between two or more parties. It was offered, those who bought accepted. Those that didn't participate also chose not to.


    It would be bad business because there were statements made marking certain auras as exclusive and never to return. Going back on that would make the team lose any credibility about statements made. I don't like dealing with completely capricious whims. If someone says something, I expect them to honor it.
