1,000 Crowns reasonable for a single costume?

MornaBaine

There are costumes in the Crown Shop that come in packs of 3 different costumes for 700 crowns. But now we're getting a SINGLE costume for 1,000 crowns. Does this seem excessive? Please feel free to expand on your answer in comments!

Accidentally clicked on wrong choice. Costumes should only cost 200 Crowns.

I said yes, because depending on the quality of it I may pay 100 crowns. I don't buy much, but if it makes the game seem a bit funner, why not?/

No . I won't buy unless sale .

Before I say Yes or No, what is 1,000 crowns equivalent to in US dollars?

I think they intentionally charge a bit so that not everyone buys the costume, just those that really want to wear it. I'd rather see variety in people's armour/costume choice, esp because they like it.

Well I kind of determine that by figuring a monthly sub costs me $15.00 and gets me 1,500 Crowns each month. By that reckoning, 1,000 Crowns = $10.00.

I'd pay 1,000 crowns for a sweetroll costume if it was well designed and didn't have clipping issues.

Overall it really depends on the person and their personal tastes whether or not a costume is worth it.

After playing Black Desert and seeing how they deal with their costumes (20 dollars for the "armor" part, 30 for the set - Character bound), I'm thinking that 1000 crowns for a costume that you can wear on all your characters is ok.

Of course, I tend to be picky when it comes to costumes and I only buy them if I really like them on at least one of my toons.

It shouldn't matter if everyone buys it. Not everyone is going to be wearing the same costume every day. Yes, at first when it initially comes out you will see many people wearing the new costume. But I'm sure there are people like me that want to change their outfits 3 times a day.

They should charge a reasonable fee ( think 1 or 2 dollars per costume ), and they should increase production and make more outfits for people to purchase.

Yes, if I like it. I get 1500 crowns ''for free''. So no problem for me to pay 1k for a costume.

I think single costumes should cost 500 Crowns and the 3 packs should stay at the 700 Crown price point. Anything more than that is just excessive really.

I have been skipping some costumes I otherwise would have liked. It's not the 1k crown cost that is stopping me, it's that they aren't limited time(3-7day) items.

the new one looks nice. i wont buy it, but it looks very well done and fits nice.

1,000 Crowns seems reasonable for a single costume.

$10 for a costume is pretty fair for the really nice costumes. Its not that much money and its not the same cost of a DLC. I'd honestly pay $50 for the emperor costume if I could.

BlackSparrow

1,000 Crowns is too much for a single costume.

(Ah shoot, clicked the wrong one. Wanted to click the "seems reasonable" option)

Depends on the costume, but yes. I can see myself spending 1000 crowns for a particularly cool or intricate costume, especially if it was The One for one of my characters, tying in perfectly with her style and personality.

Then again, I'm a roleplayer, and therefore shameless when it comes to cosmetics.

driosketch

Depends on the costume. Also I got most of mine with sale crowns, so 1k was about $5 to me. I haven't bought any of the 2k hero costumes.

KochDerDamonen

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but don't these cheap bundles of costumes refer to the ones composed of already ingame resources whilst the 1k crown singular one is a wholy new design?

Abeille

1,000 Crowns seems reasonable for a single costume.

This is exactly what they should monetize on.

Demeos

I came for the sweetrolls.

Compared to another B2P game, the prices here are far cheaper and can be used on all characters that are on the same account regardless of class or race.

Acrolas

If you don't unlock a costume, little Suzie Lumpkin is going to have to buy another ESO+ membership to keep her family fed and sheltered.
For just fifty cents a day, you can keep Suzie's lights on and look fabulous doing it.
Unless you unlock the Treasure Hunter costume. That one is just the worst.
Please, think of Suzie. Because life is too precious to be a filthy casual who nickels and dimes a subsidiary of a large corporation.


And because Suzie is thinking about you right now.
No, put the Blade of Woe away, Suzie. They're here to help you.

1K crowns for a single costume is OTT tbh

250-500 crowns for a single or 700-800 for a pack would be better, older costumes should drop in price after maybe 6mths of release.

most of the 1K costumes are already used by npcs in the game.

I don't really feel the need to buy costumes, so I honestly don't really care. If it makes the company money to charge high prices for costumes and mounts, that is fine by me. I'm sure ZOS has a lot of data to inform their prices.

I personally wouldn't spend that much on a costume.

I meant to say for the packs, aren't they the ones made out of basic motif parts stuck together and colored a certain way?

100 - 250 is reasonable.
$10 for a costume when DLC is $15-$20 is way out of whack

vamp_emily

$10.00 is way to much for a virtual outfit.

If they charge 1 dollar for a costume, and 2 or 3 for a Pack, they will sell more and more than likely make more than they are now.


Edit:
I say we go on strike and everyone wear the disguise you get at level 3. Showing we don't support their high prices.

Thornen

I came for the sweetrolls.

Remember the good old days when you got 3 versions of a costume for 700 crowns... Zos's pricing policy is more spaghettied than the games code and I guess all those people that bought the $40 mount doesn't help.

Defilted

1,000 Crowns seems reasonable for a single costume.

if 4K was not high enough to stop people from buying a mount, then 1k will not stop someone from buying a costume. The question of whether it is reasonable or not to an individual really does not matter. It will sell if the costume is worth buying.

700 Crowns would be fine about 7 dollars. That is what it cost to buy the smallest crown pack or around there. Making it larger than that is trying to make the player either subscribe or buy a larger crown pack.

Whatever the smallest crown pack cost is what a costume should cost. I'd rather them not go lower on super vanity like this. I want to see ZoS raise the price on little things and keep crap from getting locked behind the subscription. Let the subscribers have costumes free while subbed and they can buy costumes at a discount of 10% while subbed to own forever.

Are you crazy?

Do you understand how much it costs to create an outfit? Not very much at all. No need to raise prices.. they need to lower them.

I did say lower from 1000 to 700. The bill has to be fit somewhere. Either it's vanity gets overpriced or somewhere down the line more starts getting locked behind the subscription.
