General_Durandal Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 6.99$ is a lot for one outfit, when some games have costume packs for 2.99$ that come with 46 different costumes. Perhaps add a daily login reward for 20/50/75% off on the next TennoGen purchase? Like how you have 20/50/75% off plat coupons in the daily reward loot list.

Yakhul Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 To be honest, $6.99 is a hell lot cheaper than most other games. But you may have played different ones than myself. The ones i usually play and played, often offer costumes at 10 dollars the lowest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai_Shiba Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 When Tennogen was first coming out, Rebecca stated that Tennogen will never recieve any discounts. I believe it was also said during that one AMA they did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True_Naeblis Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Honestly the prices are very fair. They're lower than cosmetics in many games, and way less than the ridiculous cost in many modern titles, especially those that add RNG walls to get what you want.

What single costumes in what games are more then 6.99$? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vindictus--$20 to $30 for the normal/premium, up to $300 or so for the ones that come in RNG boxes--Black Desert Online--$20 to $30 for the whole sets including weapons--Star Wars: The Old Republic. Guild Wars 2 as well at basically $8.75, though they are account wide once you buy them at that price. The prices here are fair. It's a bit ridiculous for people to expect the items to be $1.00 a pop or something when these aren't coming from artists drawing a salary from the company already. I certainly think the prices in some other games are ridiculous, but the one's here are more than fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like every costume for FFXIV is 7 dollars at least. BDO has 30 dollar outfits. Skins in OW, LOL, DOTA are much more. To name a few more off the top of my head you also have ESO, WoW (premium mounts), Vindictus, TERA etc. If you wanna push a little further we also can look at PUBG where everything is either $.04 or $200 and looks cool. Warframe's are actually some of the cheapest around. The reason for not having sales, and it would be real scummy if they did honestly, is that the creator of the skin gets a cut of the profits (the entire point of tennogen). If there was to be a sale, then 1) I imagine most people wouldn't bother paying full price ever and 2) it'd be cutting profit from the creator. After DE and Valves cut's on a 75% off tennogen the creator would probably receive next to nothing. I can't imagine people would be as willing to spend time to create skins that may or may not be added if this were the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know for certain. Because DE has a contract with both Valve Corporation and Tennogen artists to sell items for specific amounts of money, based on the kind of item, and to give Tennogen artists 30% of that and Valve Corporation some portion of the 70% that Tennogen artists don't receive. To offer a discount for Tennogen is to cheat Tennogen artists and Valve out of the money they are contractually-obligated to receive.

(i avoid MMO's like the plague) Not surprised to see they have ridiculously O.P. (over priced) stuff. Not asking for TenGen skins to be 1$ each, just 1$ less. so 5.99 instead of 6.99 for Skins. 4.99 instead of 5.99 for syandanas. 4.99 instead of 5.99 for helmets. ect Edited March 27, 2018 by General_Durandal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NullSaint Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Highly unlikely. Each Tennogen item is, in effect, a separate contract with a person. To offer discounts, DE would have to either renegotiate the contract or decide to pay the difference themselves. Neither one of those is going to happen. When you buy a Tennogen item, you have to do so knowing that you are doing so to support DE and the skin creator. Alternatively, you can go onto Steam and create your own skins and make $$$$$!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurglesSocks Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) if you'd played path of exille you'd realize how much cheaper the cosmetics in warframe are. also as people have mentioned... they are made by fans, they aren't made by DE. also the quality of tennogen far surpasses anything you can build or buy with plat (for the most part anyway.. some of the 150 plat skins are nice) so it's more than worth it. Most of the tennogen is of amazing quality. Edited March 28, 2018 by NurglesSocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zahnny Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I think the best chance you'd have is if a Tennogen content creator specifically requested DE to make them free for a limited time or combining packs together. Buy one get one free? Idunno, I think it's more up to a Tennogen creator than DE. And a lot of it is up to DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
