The players of WildStar are dissatisfied with some costs in the game. Carbine promises: There will be improvements soon!
Runes and Repairs Soon Cheaper
With the switch to a Free2Play model, there were also some changes to the gold and platinum prices for certain services. Especially newcomers find it hardly possible to equip their gear with runes or to reassign once filled rune slots. Many players at the maximum level also feel that the armor repair costs are too high, often resulting in a significant loss when exiting dungeons. Lastly, even customization suffers from this problem, as dyeing armor and costumes with rare colors can cost several platinum coins at once.
The Changes at a Glance
In a forum post, Carbine has now assured: We have heard the feedback and will change several things! Although some adjustments will first need to be thoroughly tested on the test realm, the planned changes mainly include the following points:
- Removing runes from gear through the “destroy” menu will no longer cost gold.
- Re-rolling rune slots will be significantly cheaper at all levels and all rarity grades.
- Repair costs at level 50 will be reduced. The higher the item level, the more noticeable this should be.
- The costs for dyeing with colors of all rarities will be reduced.
With this step, they likely want to not only accommodate the players but also immediately quash any “Pay2Win” accusations.
So far, new rune slots could be skipped with Service Tokens, which are primarily available for real money (but also as rewards for all players).
