Evil Trout Ep.2 creating imbalance in the game

So I’ve just realised recently that buying ep.2 gives you a number of advantages over player who don’t. eg. new shops, new attacks, new forums.

It used to be that buying stuff with brownie points either doesn’t affect gameplay or disqualifies you from competitive play. Ep. 2 does affect gameplay, but doesn’t disqualify you from competitive play. This creates an uneven ground for Ep.1-only players. I shouldn’t have to name each advantages that ep 2 gets you, I trust you could think of some yourself.

So how do you justify this? Is this the direction we’re going towards?

Trying to create drama to drum up the ratings by any means necessary!

Didn’t buying multiple alts already screw the balance? So it’s not exactly new…

It’s 10 damn dollars. If you can’t pay for that, you deserve to be at a disadvantage.

Sorry, I have no sympathy.

And what’s the problem with that?

Be glad it’s a one-time payment. They could very well be charging monthly for it.

How do they justify not shelling out for Episode 2? Log in to see images!

It’s not like it’s a continuous process where money can be turned into game advantage. You’re *supposed* to buy Episode 2. If you cant afford to pay for Episode 2 than you probably cant afford to waste your time on the competitive aspects of the game either… or shouldn’t, anyway.

Well, forumwarz was supposed to be a free game is it not? That’s what I was told when I joined.

FW grew to a point where CZ cannot hold FW for free only with donations anymore. Not their fault in the slightest.

The imbalance between paid/non-paid content is nothing compared to between different clbumes though. Watch how the leaderboard changed completely.

How about just having EP 1 and EP 2 use seperate domination brackets?

Easy.

I’m still wondering why you didn’t whine about it when Trolls were the ones dominating.

Charging money for a piece of internet satire? Where half the content is user-generated? It’s almost as bad as those “Epic Movie”, “Scary Movie”, etc

I think once payment become necessary for a decent game experience, the fun is past. Also tell me why some games manage to stay free to play for a long time and we can’t. (List of free MMORPGs)

and besides, re-quoting

By that logic, increase cost of Game Dolphin to 100 BP and you deserve to have it and play competitively?

Welcome to the real world, where money buys you a better experience.

Dom brackets SHOULD be separated between ep1 and ep2. I think that’s a given.

Please stop playing this game and move to one of the sites on that list if keeping this website running is so offensive to you. Everyone is tired of your “Having to pay money for things I spend time on and enjoy is unfair” nonsense.

FWZ is mostly free. AAHZ just buys all the BP and everything trickles down from there.

If money is that big of an issue for you, just quit. We had plenty of people who donated a lot long before CZ were talking about a fee on EP2. I’m pretty sure CZ doesn’t care about people who can’t donate 10 dollars.

It’s 10 dollars. Hell, when I was a spoiled child and I lived with my parents I’d receive 10 dollars every week.

FYI, lots of people didn’t pay for EP2 because people liked their presence enough to have their EP2 fee paid by people with lots of BP. If that doesn’t ring a bell for you, I don’t know what does.

Welcome to real life.

Also, you pointed a list of free MMOs, why don’t you go and play them?

Do it, but don’t come back whining when you notice they can’t hold their servers up or the MMO is a ghost town.

If this direction is toward more reliable, faster servers, more content, and an overall better experience then yes. That is 100% where the site is heading.

Yeah, I understand why it costs money. I just think that people with money shouldn’t have an advantage in competition.
