Art Imitates Life: Star Citizen 4.0 Ammo Prices are SKYROCKETING
In this video, I talk about the dramatically increasing ammunition prices for small arms in the upcoming Star Citizen 4.0 patch. With the exception of some special weapons which saw a cost increase in a previous patch, the price to run (and shoot) virtually every weapon in the game has gone up dramatically.
With the introduction of Pyro in Star Citizen and all the PVP that goes with that, players with backpacks full of ammunition are going to be having to think whether they want to be carrying tens of thousands credits worth of ammo as it will be costing them, at times, hundreds of credits a second to even pull the trigger. With the most powerful alpha damage weapons, it could be hundreds of credits per shot!

Organizations Will Take Over Star Citizen | Is Star Citizen Really For Everyone?
Переглядів 8 тис.28 днів тому
In this video, I voice my concerns with Star Citizen's latest PvP plans, particularly around the idea that larger organizations could gain control over entire sectors of space. With the new focus on territory control, there’s a risk of the game becoming too similar to EVE Online, which might create barriers for smaller or more casual organizations. Could these mechanics end up sidelining the ve...

In this video, I dive deep into Star Citizen’s evolving mechanics surrounding multi-crew gameplay, AI blades, and the balance between solo and team-based experiences.

    I don’t think Bases will be destroyed. However all the resources in the base will be lootable. Maybe some structure repairs needed and sentry towers damaged. But the biggest problem will be that a superior fo will know your base location and that they can beat you again and again. Essentially farming you for resources that you collect

    I mean.....good. Real life ammo isn't that much, but you also don't get $1mil a day for a menial job like delivery driver. The inflation overall is kind of silly in the game and this will just bring ammo to match the inflation prices. Let's hope they fix food/water to where we don't need to have 35 meals a day and 200 bottles of water...just to survive...before they inflate those prices too.

    You open your video with "I personally think this is great", but you don't elaborate... Why the fuck should you spend so much money on small arms ammo in a combat oriented, open PVP game? Do you really think that this will solve a fundamental griefing issues? Have increased ship prices decreased griefing? How exactly will it benefit the average player? All prices are being increased across the board - ship prices, fuel prices, ship ammo prices, missile / torpedo prices, small arms prices - to force you to buy shit from the pledge store. You must be autistic if you think otherwise.

  • @grygaming5519
    @grygaming5519 День тому

    I'm going to be the voice of clarity on this because to be honest the price increases are overblow and need to happen. I'll take Tarkov for Example. ETF: Build M4 Carbine (standard Meta) in Gunsmithing decked out 320,257 rubles. Each Gen 3, 30 round mag is 30 USD if you buy all 12 mags from the trader that's roughly 353 USD or 55,421 rubles. So 375,678 total and that's just the guns and mags. Then for ammo, for this example I'll just use 856A1 ammo that has up to a Class IV pen. For 1200 rounds in rubles it'd cost 1.3 million. Meaning 30 rounds would run 33k per mag. So given all of this at mid level you're looking to run a gun for 1.7 million rubles. That's just the gun alone. Depending on what kind of helmet, rig, vest, medical and backpack. Your mid range kit could run between 50-120k. On top of all with a chance to lose it all via server BS, hackers, and losing a PvP fight. Mind you the game starts you off with maybe 50k for standard and 250k if you're a higher tier. However and this is the biggest HOWEVER i'll put. This all sits on the implementation of the player economy. If players themselves are able to buy, sell and trade gear then all the changes mean nothing because the scales of economy would be in play. The effect of supply and demand would be swift on either increasing prices or decreasing them. The problem is they are pushing prices up without a player economy, using NPC economy to stop-gap these issues while increasing prices. The prevailing issue is that they have not shown any signs of increasing contract payouts to keep pace with the price increase. To make these increases work payouts need to jump 300% across the board, that also includes mining, salvaging and other materials need to be adjusted along with it. The costs of running an op should not exceed 80% of the total contract, meaning players should earn at minimum 20% from each contract they pick up and run. The payouts increase as reputation increases. Again the issue is those contracts are not keeping up with the price increases. What I see here is CIG is running into issues that ETF ran into a few years back. 20-40% of players having hundreds of millions of rubles, few hundred thousands of Euros and dollars...with nothing to spend them on. They did a lot of things to 'fix' the issue from money sinks in the hide out to limiting what level the Flea market, to putting found in raid, excluding certain items to sell and none of that has fixed their PvP economy issues. PVE at some point the player will hit max currency, max everything and just get bored. It happens in every game, some people are just better at making money then others. Why try to force equality by setting price controls and raising the prices on goods when there's zero need to do so right now. I would have done the price increases after implementing the dynamic player market with a wipe. Set everyone back to zero, and start adjusting prices depending on how players work the market via supply and demand.
