Starter Series eternals pass is 14750BE

CaptainAntiHeroz·2/20/2020, 7:43:05 PM·1 votes·7,916 views

whiles yes this shit should be if sold at all, sold for blue essence

Riot is literally trolling with that asking price (and the fact that they're still asking for actual money out of achievements)

literally if anything the pass should cost 1470 BE for all champions starter and 2000 BE for all champs set 1

hell IT SHOULD BE FREE, this is a norm for games nowadays riot, its called ACHIEVEMENTS, games on steam do it for free

Hell smite does something similar where you can track generalized things, but 1 it comes attached to a skin and 2 IT DOESN'T COST REAL MONEY sure you could get it with real money, BUT THEY NEVER FORCE YOU TO DO SO https://i.imgflip.com/3pssmd.jpg

and don't you dare say 'well we gave you a shitty thing over your mastery emote' BECAUSE THAT DOESN'T CUT IT

You put a lot of time INTO A FEATURE THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN MANDATORY IN THE MODERN DAY MARKET AND NOW YOU WANT PEOPLE TO PAY FOR IT?

This is a disgusting practice, and for your sake I hope you strongly reconsider

While these Eternals are not that great, what I'm hoping for is that they get better.

15k BE is nothing for me since I have everything and I'm sitting on 250K and I own Urfwick and a ton of weird Chromas I've never used and Icons that are adorable. However, I can see how that is a ton for others that are getting started or are new.

As far as RP goes, it's like Ahri and others skins, it sucks they get special treatment, but that needs to happen.

I think we can all agree that Dragon Udyr was a bust, and Riot likely LOST money on that skin. However, Riot still makes unpopular champions skins why? Because the popular ones sell so well that they can afford the loss.

Eternals are something, I believe most DO NOT like, but if they sell, they allow more Eternals to be made maybe ones you will like. Or allow for other features skins alone cannot cover.

Are Eternals the answer to Riot monetary problems? No. Should the charge RP? No (Maps or announcers are better IMO). Should Riot try it to get another source of revenue so they can try to make more money from the F2P game? Probably. IT offers no advantage and can be turned off, so there really is no reason to fight the RP cost. Again my opinion is that they should try to make money off something else, but if they want to swing, let them hit or miss.

Oh and I'd be 100% okay with them if on their base skins weapon glowed gold like in TFT. Just saying.

######Unfortunately I have a rule that anything released for Shyvana and Syndra I must buy so... sorry :( I cannot resist the urge. I have a purple Syndra shirt... I hate purple.

Even Reddit is raging at them. It's histerical to think that FUCKING ACHIEVEMENTS are now behind a paywall.

That's okay, I'd rather spend that much BE on the essence emporium chromas and icons anyways. It'll be a mistake they're definitely going to have to learn from and do better in the future. Because this really put trust into Riot to an abyssmal level. Maybe it's investors telling them to XYZ but I'm sure they could have thought up of a better method of gathering profits with their suite of game designers, software engineers, and marketting team.

Riot announced that Eternals is a feature that all players can witness in game, not just the player who purchased it. Because of this, they're allowing players to mute the feature as well. Eternals is going to be a feature I'm going to mute ASAP and never purchase, BE or RP.

Hard pass for me.

PlayStation Trophies: Basic Feature XBOX Achievements: Basic Feature Steam (Free Platform) Achievements: Basic Feature Smash Melee/Brawl/Wii U/Ultimate Trophies/Achievements: Basic Feature League of Legends Achievements: GIVE MONY REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Nobody is saying Eternals cost nothing to develop, but we're talking about a basic feature that has existed in games for more than 15 years now. All the examples above offer the feature as a basic in their package. Riot wants to charge you to track things you're already doing in game.

Eternals are, at their core: A scam

To the devs making them: Sorry, I know you're doing the best you can under the mandate from above. To the higher ups: Greedy vultures. Not even EA or Activision Blizzard charge for achievements.

i'm confused why they cost RP at all. i'm trying to think of the last time getting an achievement you earned cost money and coming up blank. i mean, you wouldn't charge people 600 RP for hitting diamond, or challenger or whatever rank they desired to ACHIEVE would you? it's honestly scum. this company makes enough money already off of purely cosmetic stuff.

i don't think i will be buying any, but if at all i feel the need to stroke my e-penis i'll consider it for one champion. nah. nvm. can't do it. not worth. dogshit company [katarina-love]

Eternals were terrible to begin with, and especially since that you have to buy that with real money. Being able to buy that with BE, and probably some of them, is just some kind of patchwork.

I mean, it's only my opinion, but jfc why would I even buy and care for how many times I killed a champ with whatever spells I used on him?

If it was free in the first place, I would say "well ok it's nice", but still not care much about it, it's just the same as any god damn achievements on whatever platform where available. That'll probably be used for people that want to show how big their e-p€nis are.

I'm fine with it costing a lot of BE. I currently have 120k BE with over 400 champion shards wasting away with nothing to spend it all on. They need an optional essence sink.

35$ for unlocking achievements XDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Hello Riot, i have an idea, what about instead of pulling EA shit like this, you could try to show respect to your customers by fixing your dog shit client, the dog shit matchmaking, and the in game bugs, maybe then your customers would be more willing to open their wallet and show their support by buying skins ?

I started playing league at the beginning of season 7, and i was playing for one month then taking couple months long breaks, and every time i was coming back to the game, i was buying RP just because i liked the game.. but after the season 8 fiasco, i never bought RP again, and will never buy until you learn to respect us as customers

How long have you been playing LoL? How many hours a week do you spend playing LoL?

I actually would like eternals if it was more than just achievements. It would be not a problem buying them for RP if those gave something rewarding for it.
