Can you post the prices of the packages please?

Thanks Cammo

So prices are 299, 549, and 799 for the three different packages.

So the 299 is the +6 package, 549 is +12 package and the 799 is +16 perfects.

Yea a bit steep but they have started selling plus 16 gems for 69 diamonds a pop, think weapon one was sold for more.

I am sure all the people who absolutely hate, hate, hate the regular jewels failing or damaging gear will absolutely love, love, love paying just a tiny teeny little bit more for perfection.

If we count puri/charges costs based on their prices when they're on sale (15 dias/puri, 0.5 dias/AT charge), then each perfect costs around the same as a stack of non-perfects.

So, it would be worth it if you have terrible luck and takes you more than 1 stack to get from +11 to +12.

It's funny, we (beep) and moan for years about the fail rate, and I can personally remember people saying (myself included) that we would gladly pay a little bit more for perfect jewels or for jewels that fail less often, and when we get them, we (censor) and moan about the price increase. I have to shake my head and laugh a little at the irony there. Thanks for giving us the things we have been asking for for years. I think the problem is the lack of player-base these days. If there were more people playing, the price would probably not be such an issue. You guys REALLY need to get to advertising this game more, get the name back out there, talk about how you are celebrating the 5th anniversary of this game, put another advert in "PC Gamer", just do ... MORE. Right now, there is really nothing pulling in new players, which is hurting all of us.

I just spent another $100 on the game to help keep it going for a little bit longer and to hope more keeps improving. Great price on the diamonds at 150%, and I am hoping for more good sales :)

I got newsletters on all my e-mail adresses, which was pretty cool, that should be done every week on weekend special, so people know what is up and coming. Old players receiving an e-mail might incline them to come back or at least get their curiosity going ;-) But magazine ads and Web ads is the way to go also to get more people ;-)


Keep up the good work and tyvm for the diamond sale!!!!!

good that they are in game +1

too bad they are solely packaged -1

too bad they are overpriced -1

overall: -1

At least they are following their footsteps I guess.

I have to agree with ruisen; this sale is fail.

The only perfects I really need are the 12's. Which are overpriced and not apportioned correctly. Last I looked I have many times the number of accessories and again double again that the number or pieces of armor. Plus that number again the pieces of siege gear.

BUT sales once again made a sale that gives items that will sit in my bank unused.

Now do I buy stuff that will go to waste or not? Not a hard question to answer. My diamonds stayed on my toon's. Some will buy a few of these and maybe a few will waste their D's on more but this sale will not make the real life profit it could have for GF now will it?

Better to use in game gold to buy the gold versions. Take the item to 3, painful but smart. Then use to 4 using non perfects. Followed by two ruby perfects to 6. Now use in game gold to buy the next level gold versions. They work till 8 once again painfully, I expect to have to use 200 plus when I do this but it works. Then eat the failure cost to 12 and 16.

Now with the D's you saved hopefully a good sale will show.

Zidlef; yes the newsletter is a plus and I am seeing some old-timers come back. Gameforge needs to aim at that group harder. They have fixed many of the problems that led to those people leaving. Quests lines work, support is quick, how you aim your character has great choices.

Now if they could only learn how to make a sale.

wow yes great, +20 gems whoop :phatgrin:

yea until u use them on your already +16 gear and fail back to +14 +15 :monster:


then wtf 799 dias youll have to buy or try to find someone selling +16 jewels again, :ill:

this game has soo few players now, its not like the frogster days where the game gets advertised in gaming magazine where i actually saw and came to play,

why make the item shop items still soo expensive, i mean 5 years some of us have been playing and spending, cant we just get a break on the item shops...

i know there are a few hard core diamond buyers still spending their cash, but damn if ya want the players to spend a few bucks here and there dont be so greedy and lower the price of some items, if even for a day or two... :doofy:

i didnt buy diamonds just to sit on them forever waiting a month or 2 for a good sale, decrease the price and ya will increase more diamond buyers from more players in my opinion anyways, but yea since when did players opinion matters anyways...

and whoopy dooo for +20 gems, cause all my gear are all under +10 and mostly +4 ha ha :bday: :bday: :bday: :bday:

You have no idea what you are really asking for! I will describe what will happen if +20's are sold in the AH

1. All new content will be made under the assumption players are +20, because if they don't then its too easy and there is no challange.
2. You will now be required to pay more for +20 gear so that you can stay competitive.
3. The price of playing the game has now risen for no reason at all

Why not just stay +16 and let the game build stuff around +16. Save money and enjoy. Take the bonus plussers now but never ever ask for them to be sold. You doom yourself. Many players will give up and leave if that extra expense is added for no reason.

I figured if they left this as a one time thing, it would be ok. A few items might be coveted cause they were higher plussing. But if that is something that doesn't happen again it wouldn't be that bad.


Course, there are those getting tons of them a day... so not really fair to the ones not able to put the time in.


I don't know how I look at this cause I can see bad things on both sides... More Expensive, and players left out. I don't think it was a good idea though. It has been done though, so now would we rather have this be all the gems to hit the market, or them be openly avail... that is the question.

Nope, the general community doesn't want to see them, most people that do want to see them have not thought about the consequences, they just want new stuff. Then when lv 87 instance is too easy or too hard everyone will QQ about how 20's messed the game up.

On a personal note I am pay to play so the impact themselves would not effect me as much. But can you imagine how much +20's would cost at the current rate of jewels. With an estimated success rate of 60% (just an estimate) I would need 78.4 plussers to make all my gear +20. How does a F2P player have a chance in hell of keeping up.

Not just F2P, but the casual P2P's that are spending $15-20 a month. Highly doubt they can keep up either, because $15 is probably like... enough to +20 two pieces of gear at most? lol

And then people will complain about rising costs to gear. People will complain new Hardmode instance is too easy because they are overgeared for it several months before the instance is even released.

Sometimes it feels like we're more concerned about the game's future than Gameforge is lol.

Most of the people who actually think things out, and assess the sutuation of where the game is, where it was, and where we would like to see it again, all feel that +12 is all that is ever needed. However, +16 kept being put into game, and keeps being available, so that's that. Now there are +20 available for now, but I have a feeling they will be offered in short time in the IS as a sale item. It is what it is, and the game is now more expensive for it. I personally will only keep going to +12 because of the cost. If I get free jewels from events, I will use them, but I will not buy them, I will spend my diamonds on other things. I also know that other people WILL buy them because they can. I am a pay to play player, and this cost increase of items in the IS recently is making me not want to play as much... I've been logging in less and less recently.

I don't know if i missed it here, but have people figured out that they can use the FREE +20 gems to make their current +12 equipment +16? +16 gems are super expensive, and you have/had the opportunity to + your stuff up free of charge to 15 or 16, provided you used 1 ABL on the item to mail between alts

I would very much like to see +20 gems a 1 time event. I would hate to see the average + of equipment increase. However, just because other players have +20 items doesn't mean you need them as well. I'm pretty sure that if you're willing to learn boss strats, and to take a long time to do things, you can learn how to do most if not all instances.
