The additional slots are separate and exist without membership. If you buy +7 slots, you will always have those +7 slots.
Yes, every character for forever can redeem the wolfpack artifact. In this second example, that character could redeem the 200 wolfpack artifact, and then would still have the 160 sitting around. You can fortify the 160 into something else.
Ive been hearing people say that we will be getting a free CR skip? Is that now or could I get a updated date on that if its even true?
Traditionally, for the last several years, there has always been a free cr skip given annually when the games' anniversary event releases on Jan 11th.
Well, no, that 's not accurate. The moment after you purchase the Wolfpack version, you have both artifacts: a rank 0 Wolfpack and a rank 200 regular ("lone wolf"?). You then consume the regular version in the fortify screen to level up the Wolfpack, like you can with any artifact. However, while other artifacts lose something in the translation (i.e. you don't get 100% of the XP that were invested in the artifact when you consume it), consuming a level 200 artifact to level up a Wolfpack version is a 1:1 operation. After the fortify, you are left with just the level 200 Wolfpack version. The original one did not "become" a wolfpack version. I got all ate up by the wolf. This isn't theoretical. I actually did it. More to it, my point was that for all your other characters, after you claim the Wolfpack version from your base dispenser, you still have the non-Wolfpack version as well if that character already had it. You can then fortify other artifacts by consuming the non-Wolfpack artifact.
You can tell they have cut down on the free rewards. Would be odd to have a cr skip sale and then give a free one a week or two later. I can tell the past few sales have been weak. I think the best part of this sale is the replay badges that most people wanted. I assume for the anniversary event we will get a few skins that most people won’t care about. But they can at-least say they tried. We need the free cr skip, I think people want them. Unless they are making a ton on them and don’t need to give them out for free. I would love to see the internal numbers on these sales, I feel like they might have some ignorant non gamers making decisions. Also I want the x2 artifact exp and this Wolfpack price reduced to maybe 50-60$
Hi Mepps thank you for a great addition to the game I really appreciate it. The price is perfect considering the alternative. You devs gave birth to a lot of babies today. While people are crying about the price I'm sharing my joy on the price and everything so you can see not all people have an issue with this wonderful item. I'm not replying anyone just sharing my opinion so you can make an informed judgment on any changes that may arise. As for those who have an issue with the price I suggest they wait a year and see if at some point the Wolfpack Token will go on sale like I'll. Next stop Lionpride Token for Ally's to be account bound for the same price or whatever you deem fit after your calculations . Once again thanks for this great opportunity. Have a blessed day and Merry Christmas Mepps.
There are some artifacts that a nigh universal, like Trans and Strat. Having copies of that available for all alts is a tempting idea instead of grinding it out on multiple toons. I haven't run any alts aside from mule/seasonal stuff since artifacts came out BECAUSE that was a daunting prospect. This is making me reconsider. I haven't grabbed any yet, but I'm toying with the idea.
If you already have alts that can tank/heal, but can't dps, I can see how this could be a good deal (even though $100 per art is pretty outrageous). But you also need to remember that these arts your transform, are locked forever and can no longer be fed into any other artifacts. What if they nerf/adjust an artifact? How would they deal with those that transformed them into wolf tokens?
Does it only work on 1 artifact once it has been used, or can it be used for all artifacts without losing this item?
It's an individual decision informed by what you have done in the past, and whether you have alts that you would definitely play if you had access to 200 arts for them. I'm a little risk-averse so would probably consider something like Manacles, Trans or Strat, all of which I have at 200 on a character right now, with other characters that I will play in future having the same art at 80 or 120. Is there anything screwy with these that might lead to them being nerfed in the foreseeable (say 2-3y) future? I wouldn't think so. Also, depending on your 'style' I wouldn't think these are arts you'd feed into other arts anyway. Also, I have a budget which is mid-three figures annually after subscription, so any expenditure has to come out of that. I went a little crazy in my first year and learned how easy it was to spend, spend, spend. This will come in at around $86 once I get the member discount on DB cash and the discount on purchase. It would only take a 20% sale to arrive at a much more reasonable price than the $100 everyone is talking about. The main question now is whether there will be weeks where I can feed a duplicate artifact into another for 100% instead of the current 50%, usually coinciding with a double nth metal week. I'm content to play a waiting game for the time being.
I forgot to mention please if there's a discontinuation with Double Artifact XP Bonus Week I trust you'll inform the community of such development. Disclaimer: I'm not asking for one instead if and only if there's a discontinuation please inform us so I can stop waiting and use my stored up nth. Without that information I could literally wait till the Gates of Hell opens bringing forth the Armageddon.
I think the dev team have earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to artifact adjustments post-release. To date there have been two seismic artifact nerfs: Venom Wrist Dispenser and EoG. Both times the team did right by the players by providing as much as an additional 1M artifact XP (on top of Seals, Catalysts, etc) to all players affected. IF something were to get nerfed post-Wolfpack update, I am confident in saying that the devs would handle the situation justly. There's no reason to believe otherwise.
Mepps, I love you bro. Although, I can't rationalize the price. I know you well enough to note you're watching this thread. It is an awesome idea. It just detracts from two goals. 1: At the wait and see level of the price point it takes away from your fanbase. 2: Many of your fanbase simply can't afford to do both. Get an art to 200 and pay the wolf pack fee of $100. How would you like to pay Bugatti prices for a Honda. Then your sales point is " but it's better on gas". Just because it's better in the long run doesn't make the price favorable for all to see it as reasonable. I'll pay 50k for a new R type, but not 2.5m or even 100k. Reminds me of the SOE spittle days. Just saying.
LMFAO, anyone who has an issue with the price, like the populace will say "QUIT THE GAME" or JUST DON"T BUY IT. Go and make fresh artifacts for your alts LMFAO. It's a choice not mandatory.
