50€ for a premium clothing. Or 20€ if you only want 1 color for that premium clothing.
And to purchase them, you need to purchase palia coins, which are as expected not the exact amount to buy the clothing.
So like you need to buy 2k coins for 1.6k clothing pack.
Geezus fucking hell.
That makes Overwatch 2 look positively bargain bin, and that one is already ridiculously overpriced.
It's only cosmetics. It's just getting to beta but they have a decent start to the store for clothing items for purchase. Doesn't seem to be a terrible way at all. Aside from the tutorial mission about it, you could simply never interact with the storefront ever again.
"it's just cosmetics" it doesn't really matter anymore. They're charging for any sort of meaningful customization, and that's pretty important, especially in a role playing game.
Oh please, the free clothes are plenty fine. Get a grip.
I've been describing this as if Animal Crossing had an MMO. It's cute, cartoony, and cozy/relaxing. It has all of the typical MMO activities but a very heavy focus on house building and customization. The fishing mini game is decent to not get too boring and the cooking skills are a fun mix of different mini games. Overall it's a nice balance of freshness and QoL improvements for a nice chill gaming session. I'm excited to see where jt goes after launch!
Very chill grindset game. Didn’t take long to mute the in game music and turn on Spotify though.
I love it, it's so freaking fun
Interesting. I'll check it out once they have a linux client/steam support
It works on Wine if you install mono, dxvk, and (winetricks) vcrun2022, before launching the game installer. Tested with GloriousEggroll release 8-10, but I expect others would work as well. You could probably play it with Proton by adding it as a non-Steam game. It's built with Unreal Engine.
Next day edit: Looks like Lutris has an install script for it now.
It seems to run through some script from someone one reddit using Lutris. Not sure if it's validated yet or not on Lutris. (maybe not very stable)
And they most likely won't be on steam before any full release.
I’ve been playing in private beta with the Lutris script just fine. Particle effects are a little visually glitchy but everything is running great, I’ve even streamed it on twitch some.
Looks fun though!
