Still a post-1.0 thing, it never having been budgeted for for 1.0.
Im with everyone else in the pricing for mtx being too high & having a “bonus” amount of point on the more expensive packs, psychological manipulation is beneath the guys and gals at EHG.
Middle currency manipulative nonsense isn’t it, EHG. I’m not interested in paying over the odds because you decided to go full exploitative points <-> value conversion rates.
Here’s another question:
How could EHG not see the backlash from this nonsense when it was tried by other companies?
And the Answer?
This is what happens when you allow giant anti-consumer soul-stealing corporations to take a stake in your team.
You’ve set yourself on the path to The Ruined Era (2023->) of videogames.
EHG, you posted this just a few hours ago, and you can already see the results. Use the positive vibe you have built with a great game to push back against those who are seeking to destroy it by trying to squeeze the player-base for an undue number of shekels.
Sat here with my bag of popcorn waiting for the inevitable “we hear your feedback”
It’s optional.
Having said that; I feel the price is too high and I would be more inclined to use it if the prices were much lower.
But then again, I won’t be using the system because of that, so… shrug
We do apologize, the captures had an incorrect price listed for the Portal. We recognize that caused some headache. We have corrected the error from 250 EP to 165 EP for the Glacial Path portal.
Nobody is forcing you to buy something. Don’t like the item/price, don’t buy it. 
Easy. 
Here’s the thing:
We WANT to buy.
We WANT to support EHG and the game.
We do NOT want to be gouged.
The current pricing is tailored to whaling, which is what I expected when I heard about Tencent putting money into EHG.
This. Id buy every cool item if it was priced accordingly. I am not dropping almost full game price on 2 items 
My first time posting , i was excited until i saw the prices per content.
i always buy cosmetic , but this time im not glad with it.
I prefer pay diablo 4 battle pass , 20 euro and more quality . if u want guys get more sells , please release quality content with good price.
Everyone players here we have 25 -50 years aprox . we have money because we work everyday We are not children who can be fooled, this game is for adult, intelligent and niche people. It probably has the best community I’ve seen, in the last few years.
Think that most of us comb gray hair up to 50 euros we can afford if we like the game every 3 months.
Think about it EHG, greed breaks the bag and the faithful who play every day with our friends after a long day working to disconnect and enjoy, we are not kids who are going to ask their parents for a visa to buy fortnite skins
The project was born from some ARPG enthusiasts and those of us who are writing here, from what I have read, are willing to buy and support this incredible and addictive game.
We give you loyalty and support, we only ask you for respect and that you listen to us. (You do the second thing and that is why we are to the death with you, the first thing is what we demand
I absolutely hate this outlook.
It’s counter to the community and only leads to shitty, predatory systems becoming normalized.
Hi whale
Good first step, but for me it was not solely about the portal price, but the prices overall.
especially with the lowest Point Bundle not able to buy most things
You realize we have to pay the exact same amount to buy the portal at that price right. This is why this pricing/currency is terrible, this exact response you gave, that’s intended to make us feel a bit better about it, just perfectly highlights why this currency model is doing the bad stuff.
Honestly since their account was created only two minutes prior to posting that, I’m more inclined to think they’re just trolling rather than an actual player/whale.
I can only hope that no one would actually – unironically – say that. Maybe I’m just holding out hope. lmao
Not sure what the pricing is for these things in other games. But even after the price tweak of the portal, I think 15 bucks for a pretty mediocre looking cape still sounds like a lot.
I can understand if you ask that for a cape that is hella awesome looking with animations and such (legendary esque item), but not for this.
Then again, I have no comparison, so maybe I’m weird.
P.S. The portal looks cool
Hey, you shut your…
looks in the mirror
oh. Man I’m old.
XD
This indeed. 15 bucks for a plain-looking cape is unrealistic in my option.
Ding ding ding we have a winner, predatory pricing model 101 right here.
Feedback:
The prices are far too high, even with the new reduced price for the portal, it’s stil $13.04 in real money.
It’s not 2015 any more, using intermediate currencies to try to conceal the true cost and to manipulate consumers is well recognised and hated by gamers. It only now really works for games that have been doing it for a while and where there is already a sunk cost falacy for the consumer.
LE is still small in the gaming space, and is in a niche that not only has some big, established namesin it(Diablo and PoE) but doesn’t command a huge tranche of gamers like FPS and sports games do. This means that as a company you are pretty reliant on us as players to advocate for the quality of the game and your integrity as developers to gain a greater foothold - decisions like the ones in the OP of this thread will do damage to that desire to advocate. The other responses in this thread underline the truth of that.
I totally understand the business needs that are driving this decision, but the pricing and intermediate currency aspects need to be re-thought.
