1,000 Certs for Only 30 More Ammo!?

Why did you BUMP A THREAD FROM DECEMBER?

Not here as the cap is 10k so don't go over it!

Im hoping this gets added to the roadmap soon, a passover on all the cert and price systems.

Because I felt like it, Compass.

Anyway, my point is not that the cert prices are too high on everything. Mostly, they are just too high on launchers and such. 1k certs is probably going to take me about a month to obtain. And I'm not sure, but fairly certain that there are 20-30 items at LEAST that are 1k. I don't want to have to play for 2 1/2 YEARS to unlock everything, when with a bit of cash I could unlock it instantly. That just seems stupid. What they should do is remove the SC price on weapons or like, triple it, but reduce cost of EXP boosts so that players can buy boosts for fairly cheap, and just REDUCE the time you can get it maybe in 1/2, instead of just being able to instantly unlock all the things.

Also, jacking up prices on items and upgrades shouldn't be the way a game increases it's shelf-life. The game should be fun even once you are finished unlocking everything. If it isn't, you've done something wrong. Just look at games where there ARE no unlocks or progression, older games like SC, CS 1.6/CSS, Quake, UT, etc. etc. Those games were fun in their own right, and you kept playing because the core gameplay was fun.

Jacking up prices of progression to keep people playing for longer to equip them is the stupidest/least intuitive way to increase life. What PS2 should do is decrease prices on almost everything by maybe 25-30%, and just keep adding content instead of relying on current content to last for years.

I agree 100%

Add this to the Road Map.

pointless necro bump. surprised you guys haven't quit the game yet. come to a shooter for the gameplay, not the MMO feel-good handouts. the cert system is meant to be a cherry on top of the action; a slight bonus achieved over long periods of time.

Necro much?

Reizod , that line in your sig :
"A true Vanu , I'm anything but primitive . What my mind doesn't know , my heart fills in"
It should read (in true Vanu spirit)
Cognisance elucidated by technology .

After all , Vanu only want progression toward the uber alien tech .
None of this nancying around getting back to Earth or it's politics and tolerance .

Tbh, I see the cert system as a faulty version of the system they used in PS1.
Back then you could only hit Br25. This meant that you could only get a certain amount of points to use or pilot things such as the reaver.
I mean if you specialized entirely to say, an ESF. it would probably take what, just under a month?
I'd say the whole point of this ridiculous cert system is to force people to specialize in one direction but not be limited to it.
If the cert system was any lower, it would allow the players who play a lot to become one man armies which is exactly what they wanted to avoid back in PS1.
