Will AoD feature these? I haven't seen this important issue covered before, and its lack of exposure is a bit distressing for me. I must know if microtransactions are being planned as we speak.
Absolutely. Even though I was against microtransactions in the past, it became clear to me that microtransactions, if done right, will greatly increase immersion and customer satisfactions. Needless to say, we will spare no expenses (especially since you are the one who's paying) to improve your playing experience.
Let's say you are facing a tough opponent who will kick the shit out of your underdeveloped (courtesy of our poorly designed character system) avatar and then rape its corpse. So, you are about to face a humiliating defeat when the badass opponent says:
- Hey, man, for only $2.99 I'll throw a fight. Hit me and I'll fake a critical.
- No, thanks. I'll fight honorably!
- I'm sure you will. What choice do you have? I, on the other hand, have this sword that always hits and causes massive criticals. Sweet, eh? You can have it for only $3.99.
- No! Prepare to fight, evil scum!
- Fine. I see that a little demonstration is in order. Attack me, I won't hit back.
- miss, miss, miss, miss, miss... what the fuck?!
- It's bugged. The only way to proceed is to pay the money, bro.
