What the fuck 
Wait this isn’t misinformation, it’s actually there
Bru you got 3 files, just reset if you dont like your choices or get an alt
Hecate Essence solution goes crazy. It fucking scared Moochezz into adding a disclaimer
2k is absurd: thats more expensive than EVERY animation pack COMBINED. and every other gamepass added together is also less than this.
Holy shit, this might just be one of the worst decisions that could have been made regarding HE. I would’ve preferred it to remain how it is, not THIS.
Lolol
What the fuck is this shit?!??!!

This is NOT the answer regarding it that we wanted.
Also, whatever happened to “The goal for monetization in this game is to sell a lot of visual/cosmetic things and NOTHING that affects gameplay.”? It still says that on the monetization ideas page of the trello.
Magic reset gamepass rant and a call for answers regarding it
paying to save several hours of time in the dark sea is p2w
Because it kinda is. It’s paying to skip a grind that others would have to deal with. Whatever happened to HE being meant to be miserable? What ever happened to purchases never impacting gameplay?
This directly contradicts two statements he’s made and does nothing but further discontent with him. This is another one of those changes that should’ve been polled on, just like the PvP toggle. However I expect that this change would not be nearly as much of a landslide.
Because that grind was added very hesitantly to begin with. This is only advantageous if you are explicitly trying to metamance. It’s not a main part of progression and makes perfect sense as a gamepass.
If you want to talk about the price being 2k then sure, even I had to look at that number twice. But it’s very tiring to see people treating this situation like Vet just killed the trout population.
Are we just gonna quote this and expect it to stand on its own?
Magics aren’t supposed to provide explicit advantages over each other, the only case for that is when considering synergies, which people would have already considered when initially picking their magics.
In other words the most notable case where swapping magic provides a direct advantage is if you are obsessed with swapping to whatever magic is considered “meta” at any given point. This isn’t a main aspect of the game this is just needless sweating that shouldn’t be promoted.
a lot of people also choose a magic that they think sounds cool, without checking if it really fits in the playstyle they enjoy playing the most
Yeah but I think stretching that to say it’s p2w is just dishonest. Pay to win is relative to what you consider “winning”, which makes sense when you are talking about upgrading but not as much if you are talking about what’s intended to be an extremely rare “sidegrade.”
The lack of ability to experiment is in itself an actual problem though.
It should’ve either been put in earlier reaches at the same rate or just tacked onto the Prometheus Acrimony. I stand by the idea that HE is atrocious game design, through and through. Magic changes NEED to exist, but their current form is horrible.
I imagine that the time limit between purchases is to limit that, however I do have to disagree. This was added for those who either didn’t have the time or determination to hunt the Far Reaches for Hecate Essence. This subtracts from the “HE is meant to be miserable” argument that Vetex once made, as the only misery is going towards your wallet.
I would also like to point out that HE isn’t even exclusively for changing your first magic - you need it just to change the COLOR. I’ve wanted to see how red plasma would look with my older outfits (Ravenna-themed, mostly), but I never could find HE. There’s also the subject of newer players not wanting to replay the entire game just because they didn’t like the magic they chose on start.
