Glacial Expanse Hideout for 14.5$ ???

literally has nothing "glacial" to it.

0 snow, 0 snowstorms, barely ice around it's just a copy paste on the floor.

I do like the ice theme alot but obviously this is another quick cash grab.

When actions speak louder than words.

Still waiting on "Acres of Desecrated Ground"

Poop ground, flies, corpses, and stank. As far as the eye can see. Seamlessly tiling, non-repeating acres of offal and sewage. Sick hideout, bro! $10

"Disco Inferno"

Nothin' but hot grates for screens and screens. The floor IS lava when you buy this very repeating texture for your ultimate Redblade-themed hideout. SHuffles hotspots as you go. $10

"Mana Bo Bana Banana Na Na Na"

Are you ready to play Twister? A vast flat expanse of wall-to-wall Baranite mana-drain tiles. Go ahead. Feel free. Hang up the sign that says "Your MoM Doesn't Work Here". You know you want to. Shuffles tile activations as you go. $10.

"Acres of Spikes"

A grand ballroom of 16x16 patchwork squares of spikes. Squares are activated alternately or you can toggle a setting to have them zigzag across and down in a long wave. Effortlessly remove tradebots and scammers from your HO just by ignoring them and watching them bleed to death. Izaro would be proud. $10

Bahahahahahaha

the target audience of that is for people who will pay 14.5 dollars usd to have a large flat hideout to fill with all the other stuff they bought for their hideouts; you aren't the target audience unless your the type of person thats already spent 50 dollars for their hideout

I like the idea of blank hideouts for building, certainly, but I do think these are pretty bogus in price for what they offer. Granted, most MTX is pretty outrageous, but it is all optional of course.

But for such an AMAZINGLY LOW EFFORT, like grab the intern and tell him to paste this texture on a plane vs actual effort that goes into armor and the like, I think they could have went a lot cheaper, or possibly offered all these generic ones (ie not 'fancy' ones like shaper realm styles) for a bundle of $15-20.

But people will buy it no doubt and I don't expect they will change anything about it. Something like this would be on my radar, but it is so low effort (like the 'invisible' effect that should be an options toggle not mtx) for a relatively high price point that I'll pass myself.

I was "collecting" hideouts for a while and whaled out on them (you can see those were the 2 special supporter packs I bought) but then they started adding way too many so I had to stop.

Now I feel REALLY good about stopping! This is the kind of low skill project you give to new employees to do as practice. You don't sell stuff like this. It's GGG spitting in your face and telling you "despite high sales of the new Delirium stash tab..."

I tried to feel sad, but...you make your budget hideout, you lie in it.

You'd think with a clearly pay-to-win (by PoE standards) f2p Chinese game utterly fucking killing it not just with the mobile crowd but the typically anti-p2w PC and console players too that NOW would be the time to remind people what ethical f2p looks like. You'd...think.
