Scarlet Blade, the future of microtransactions (NSFW)

[Signe]

I was proving you right.  Boobs do dance for a living.  Sometimes in jars.

If you do, you get this:

I've been running DM and BC. Apparently in order to upgrade your gear, you have to get gem shards and as you upgrade, the odds of actually failing and losing a level of upgrading increase.
Of course, there are item you can buy to increase the odds of a sucessful upgrade.

NSFW version that is much less frustrating.

The item enhancement scheme is  .

I have a rare gammasbane gloves on my Punisher. I did the first 3 levels of upgrades with base stardust slivers. No cash yet.
For the next level of upgrades, I bought some Narak relics, which increase your chances of a sucessful upgrade, because the odds start going down.
I've now got +5 gloves, at a cost of $10. 
And if you fail an upgrade, the bonus starts going down. So you want to buy safeguards from the shop to prevent that from happening.

Man, you can broadcast sucessful upgrades, and from the trade chat, there's a lot of people dumping a lot of real money into upgrading items.
Makes the lingerie unsealer look positivley wholesome.

Well, I'm into SB for 30 bucks right now. That's less than a box and sub so far. I have the mats to take that set of gloves up to +7 or +8, but I don't want to blast the real money into it. 

[Signe]

You know, guys, this would be not only cheaper but it'll make real life girls woozy: 


If you want to go WAY over the top, there's always this:

That will make them woozy AND moist.

[Sir T]

That dosent really work for the type of guy you will find playing this game though

Not safe for sanity...

Good god i hit 21 and felt the dungeon lacks fun. Kind of a waste of assets this game. I still cant believe people are throwing real cash into this.

[Bzalthek]

There exist people who will pay for anything.

[Sir T]

But she will love you if you do...

[Ratman_tf]

Fuck you guys. I'm finally going to get laid with my cyberbimbo avatar. Just ten more bucks and she'll wub me forever!

Inorite? Aside from the poor hotkey queue making me mash buttans so I don't skip a potion, it's not bad. Bitterstone Core is a kinda neat dungeon. I reccomend you give it a shot.

I still cant believe people are throwing real cash into this.

I did it a few times to see how the cash money affects the game. I think I can deal with not getting a +10 on my rare gloves.
But goddamn, I was tempted to buy more AP and upgrade them further.

[rk47]

As a medic, the gameplay sucks bad.
It's just horrible. I ran with a friend and I spent half the time just altenating between launching one attack and healing her everytime heal cooldown is up. There's just no middle ground in dungeons.
Outside dungeons, gameplay is just.....bland.

I'm just surprised at how good some places look though, it's a case of pretty graphics, shit gameplay.

[Ratman_tf]

I dunno. It seems odd to call out Scarlet Blade for boring gameplay, when 99.9% of the MMORPGs out there are exactly the same.
They just don't have jiggling tit physics.

[rk47]

Not sure if you played GW2 before. I like how the combat flows, played it for a good half a year before dropping it. It's just more fun even in instances, instead of the Lineage 2 style of grinding mobs where the mob HP keeps going up and up and up.

[tmp]

You are doing it wrong. Needs more emoticons, too.

[Ginaz]

I can't believe you guys got to 5 pages with this thread.

Oh yeah. GW2 did some very good things, and I hope some of it's aspects get picked up by the next wave of MMORPGs. I wish my friends had gotten into it.

The five pages i can believe, that people are actually spending money on it is blowing my mind.

[Signe]

Fuck you guys. I'm finally going to get laid with my cyberbimbo avatar. Just ten more bucks and she'll wub me forever!

How?  There's only a bunch of girls in the game.  And those are the guys!  But anyway, good luck to you and Mrs. Ratlady.  I wish you the best of everything.  Please don't let me know how it goes. 

[rk47]

Signe, in truth the in game lore did explain that the Arkanas are basically super bio soldiers that follows the order of their commanders who directs and warches their every move from behind the screen. And yes quest dialogs did enforce the notion that you two are working together. Amazingly, the writing works. No translation issues.

[Signe]

Huh?

[Sir T]

Allow me to translate; Game lore explains why you are controlling every move of a barely dressed woman that has breasts you can crack nuts on.

Hope this helps.

[Signe]

I've come to the conclusion that this is one of those instances where you just simply don't need to understand everything.  Which is okay with me.  I have problems with particle physics, too.

[rk47]

Is ok. Me level 23 now. Gonna help my lvl 18 defender friend catch up.

[Ratman_tf]

As if the character's wardrobes weren't demaning enough, look what they did to these poor bears!

[rk47]

Goddamn, I love my arkana so much bro.



All the sudden...

[Nevermore]

As if the character's wardrobes weren't demaning enough, look what they did to these poor bears!

I'm just glad the naked lady with the world's dumbest tramp stamp remembered to wear her high heels in the snow.
