Lentz Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I mean, it may end up being a membership only feature that you have to be a member to fly, and it still uses ingame currency. idk, it's something to discuss still.

Guest Insanity Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Hmmm...I really hope it isn't a membership feature... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engineer Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 @Quakkz This game has nothing to do with p2w The membership benefits are just nice things to have, they don't change the landscape for a f2p and member Fly would be a nice thing to have, but it doesn't make you any better than someone who doesn't have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engineer Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 @Quakkz p2w is paying $11 for a token store Pokémon...reference to a former game that some people used to play This game is so far from p2w compared to other games To your point, some things are more than a "nice to have" but you need some incentive to become a member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 The problem with fly is that people would effectively be being given free, unlimited travel. The people clamboring to cling on to handheld based experiences seem to forget that this is not a handheld game, this is an MMO. many MMO games charge for long distsnce travel. MMOs also charge for expansions. I have played many f2p subscription optional MMOs to know how they will be successful, and enough MMOs to know how most pokemon mechanics work and translate into an MMO setting. This is why shortly our pokemon centers are being redesigned to incorporate a subway system so people can travel from center to center. This will obviously incur a small cost, nothing major like 1.5-2k per travel. Obviously in this respect you will need the badge from that one or the next town (in the case of lavender town) however with that and escape ropes will provide sufficient travelling cover for travel.

I'm just thinking, those with the MS able to fly around and make trades within seconds, vs all those without MS having to spend a lot of time (not to mention $$ if they have to hop a train or something) to do their trading...that would give the former too great an advantage. all the money and time (time = money) they save, they'll be able to afford the best comps, therefore have an advantage in tourneys and everything.. I gotta agree with Quakkz, I feel like fly being MS only is p2w- and I'm able to get the MS and will probably get it. I don't think it'd be fair to those who can't. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnie posted while I was writing my post and I didn't see it until after.. and you can't edit your posts apparently u_u what he said is a good idea I think but you can't "like" posts either. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
