Since some people wont ever pay a dime and thus feel left out, how about every time you hit lvl50 you can select a gold-only unlock to be unlocked? This would give f2p-only players a chance at some of the fancy colors too

Re: What would you pay gold for?

User-definable contrail colors. Kinda want them to be two tone or three tone so I can be unique.

Maybe a Clan tag [xeno]

Still waiting for the must-have toonskin. I don't like any bare arms or face.

They all have to be really great, or extremely cheap, because they compete with deal of the day items which affect gameplay and also cost gold.

Re: What would you pay gold for?

id pay gold for more devs/better devs. its not meant to insult, its just true.

but on the other hand, just like the OP, yeah id probably pay gold for things that used to be/should be in tribes. -- and thats what we seem to be paying for more and more.

Re: What would you pay gold for?

As mentioned, voices and HUDs would be pretty neat to select from, especially the latter. I'd like to see vehicle skins as well.

An interesting one may be an unlockable palette, where you're able to custom-color different parts the skins you have to select from. This would keep you buying skins and yet allow you to tweak it to your taste, possibly making it more of an incentive to buy it.

For instance, I don't like the INF Mercenary skin at all, and wouldn't buy it. However, if I could alter the colors around to make him look like the Doom Guy, well, I'd be much more inclined to grab it!

Re: What would you pay gold for?

What I would pay gold for is something that makes sure that I KNOW that my VICTIM knows that it is UNIQUELY ME coming for him and killing him over and over. Let me explain:

For example. Say my contrails are Red-Yellow-Green. Now initially the guy Im coming at, he says to himself "here comes money baby with no life, im gonna kill him" then he dies to my spinfusor.

Then I come for him again, and again. Every time he knows - d*** its that Red-Yellow-Green guy.

Finally he sees me coming and he will just run away.

THAT is something I will pay gold for.

Because with the skin, its not individualized enough for me to send the message to the victim - "FEAR _ME_".
