This is not the right way to go about missions. Nobody wants to buy timed missions to get rewards within an event.

I think paid missions were done quite well with the Order vs Chaos passes where you weren't REQUIRED to buy the passes in order to actually get anything and they were just there to earn more tokens for more stuff to unlock

The current shit though where you can't get Ashe's chroma without buying the pass is bullshit however

if no one wants them then no one will buy them and then riot will stop making them. vote with your wallet. problem solved.

Well if u buy the missions and do em you get 9 world orbs+ a gemstone for 1300 rp

10 chests are going for 1950 rp. It's a good deal in that regard.

There's those things where... you know... you don't HAVE to buy them, you don't HAVE to participate in the event.

I really regret buying the first mission bundle. It showed riot how they can milk us, and they overdo it since then.

I mean, seriously, i thought they do something like that every 3 or 6 months. I never thought they would start the next "event" right after another or even have 2 at a time. Constant events take away the special "event" feeling and become boring very fast.

Edit: I forgot the stupid missions and uninteresting rewards. Look at the Star Guardian event, all those stupid missions just for a ward skin? I dont waste my playtime on painfull missions for a worthless reward. The reward has to outweight the pain to complete the missions, and it just doesnt.

I honestly don't see the big deal....

A) These skins / chroma are not needed to play the game. B) They give you absolutely no game advantage. C) They are novelty items. D) Missions are relatively new, don't just expect you should get them for free E) Finally, the damn game is free!!

Personally I enjoy the way they did this. I love novelty / rare items and achievements in games; things that not everyone has that shows dedication to the game and the designers. If you are honestly complaining over $10 content then I don't know what to tell you. What makes you all privileged to the fact that you should just get it for free?

I LOVE starting a game and seeing someone that has PAX TF, or URF WW - you know they have been around, put their time into the game. You see an Ashe chroma with background, you KNOW they bought Worlds Pass, they did the missions, they saved the tokens to buy it; and they deserve that recognition.

Sick and tired of reading all of this entitlement crap. IF you want that chroma and border that bad, pay the damn price. If $10 is honestly breaking the bank for you; play less games and probably invest in something else.

I like the paid missions mainly cuz cool gemstones/wards/icons but it seems strange that you have to grind for something that you pay for. I like this championship one the least so far because you have to play every week and I also feel that the chromo and ward are overpriced.

how the hell do you buy mission?

Paying money to have to spend more time trying to unlock stuff seems off. Surely paying money in this case should just give you the reward.

I found some of the rewards in previous missions to be enticing, but after seeing the "win a game with no ranged champions with a team of 5" ive become disinterested, its insanely hard to get a group of 5 with my work schedule. I find it kind of ridiculous they expect people to grind missions like that for crappy loot. Lame.

Just ignore them, then, like most people (hopefully).

As long as the playerbase is paying for worthless stuff, Riot is going to keep making them ... if the playerbase doesn't buy it, Riot will have to make a better product ... that is how the market works ...

I'm okay with the idea of paid missions, but I do think their implementation is not quite good enough for me to buy RP for them.

Dota is the leader in this area, you'll get a season pass in Dota that lasts for 6 or 8 months. Out Worlds 2017 pass is 6 weeks only, while the Arcade event was only 2 weeks.

Passes need to let you earn real loot. Orbs are nice. I like orbs, but if you want to sell passes then letting people earn their way to skins and other goodies is going to be part of the incentive.

I see no reason to buy the current pass unless you are a die hard Ashe fan and want to spend $10 on a chroma.

How to improve it imo

1 - Don't bundle the missions, this is just greedy. Have the missions be sold separately.

2 - Make the missions fun or something rewarding not stressful, the biggest pain reading the missions is "winning pvp conditions" this already makes it a bit "ugh" even if the missions were to go on sale without being bundled i feel this would turn people away too. Having to come home to play a match to get the chrome only to fail because of one of the many reasons a match goes wrong then to just have your chance slip away because you don't play that many games will just sting and suck.

3 - please remove winning conditions from all of them not just the paid ones, i see a lot of people play bot matches to complete their missions i wonder why? so i think they're not being done as they could be.

Rito cucks in desperate needs of more $ meanwhile people in Africa are starving

I didn't think of it at first, but this is very true.

This is the first time I've seen RIOT do such a silly thing. Been playing for a year now and I already know that it's not the RIOT way of doing things. They should definitely get rid of paid missions.

On second note, missions were acceptable because they added small rewards for active players at the cost of their time. Some people are too busy though and can't afford the time. No one wants to pay real money to invest more time into the game. The cost of time and money is just wrong.

B-b-b-but I just bought that "Worlds ticket" in store because I WANTED & I'm really hyped for those missions [sg-lulu]

They should have it so that you want to buy it and not shove it in your face until you do. Even though i think this is my favorite Ashe skin I'm not buying the recolour since the way they're going about selling it is just obnoxious.

I hope Riot doesn't go down the "HERE BUY THIS THING PLSyoureallywantthisdontyoucmngiveusyourmoneyweneedit" path that other "f2p" games do.

Riot must be crazy if they think I'm going to pay them money to do chores

Deneviel9/25/2017, 7:29:16 AM1 votes

I'm not against the paid missions and such. What I really hate are all these " time limited events" that provvide goods that will never return in the shop.

Also, unlike most ppl, I think lol it' not strictly a "F2P", he fits way more in the "Pay 2 Not Grind" category.

Before arguing with the "money don't make difference" statement think about this:

The advance provvided can be easely explained by picking 2 account with the same play hours created in S7.

A payer user will have a larger pool of champ ( eventually he can even unlock them all at lvl 1, it will cost around 750$ ) and can use it to his advance in the ranked system managing some heavy counterpick. A free user can eventually have the same numbers of champ but the time required it's way longer.

Exactly how a P2NG game it's supposed to work, with no content that can impact PVP hided behind the Paywall

Wait i can buy missions?!
