The hard question of missing stages

[Ravan86]

The mistake they have already made. Look at Arbiter stages, in my opinion they used all their money for that stage. And gargos what did they give? In my opinion, these people do not know how to handle the money that Microsoft has from.

I know, it is strange. All the games sell cosmetics to support their product. Here we get things but not that much as others. So many people are asking for stages and so many threads for that (and not only stages, but also costumes,colors ect.) , but it always comes to there is no time or money to do that. But selling cosmetics is how you make money and so time. I don’t know.

[Ravan86]

Arbiter is a guest but his treatment was superior to Gargos and Eyedol … so I think many people say stupid things, other than personal opinion …
These are “missing stages” is an easy-to-understand word, “missing stages”.

[Ravan86]

If the arbiter has his stage and Eyedol no, (at gargos, that shameful thing) are “missing stage”, stop…

[Ravan86]

easy.

[Ravan86]

It is not something that needs opinions, it is objective.

[G1GlaciusPrime]

Considering that Arbiter and his stage was put in solely to draw in Halo fans, which there are a lot of considering Halo is MS’s flagship franchise, it makes sense for them to have spent a little extra love to make sure the people bringing in the Halo money felt like they were getting a good experience and Arby wasn’t just being quickly thrown in with little to no fanfare. For all we know Arby’s stage may be the reason why they had a little bit of extra budget lying around to throw together a stage for Gargos that wasn’t originally planned.

[Ravan86]

They have also put ultra stage …

I’m tired of reading stupid comments.

It’s an open forum, any person’s respective comments, within reason, is fine to express as they will. Let’s be open to other’s thoughts, shall we?

@Ravan86

so I think many people say stupid things

Agreed.You are proving that post after post.

[G1GlaciusPrime]

@FinchoMatic is already on top of things…lets’s not go back and kick the bee hive again ok?

@Yperdaimonios

If i remember well @TempusChaoti had told me that five stages cost about the same money as two characters. The thing is that stages are part of the characters like their soundtracks and should not be treated separately.

Gonna want to see a source on this, because anyone can come in and say “iirc the devs said X Y and Z.”

@VerminatorX

And people have right to expect from one season to include as much content as previous one for the same price.

…Shadow lords? Seriously, I don’t get how people place so much value in stages as “content.” It’s like complaining that your 18-room mansion doesn’t have enough different kinds of wallpaper.

Well Adam did actually say that:

IG Please make stages: Rash, Mira, Gargos - DLC

To create one new stage would require a community fund multiple times larger than what we did with creating Shadow Jago. For the price of five new stages, we could have 2 brand-new characters (without stages). Not building as many stages wasn’t an easy decision for us, but what we get from it, including a robust new single player mode (Shadow Lords), a multiplayer mode, and more, was a good trade, especially given the number of stages we already have. Believe us, we miss them too, but it’s a t…

[DEClimax]

Fair enough!

[JetstreamDan]

To be fair though, that was his response to everyone that was clamoring for a community fund to make stages for the S3 characters that didn’t get one.

[G1GlaciusPrime]

Well unless the hourly rates have changed for the better in the past year in regards to making stages vs characters what Adam said still stands.

Now whether or not they should pursue stages at this point in the game’s life as opposed to new characters is debatable, but I’d say the cost ratio of stages to characters would likely still apply.

[JetstreamDan]

I know, I’m just saying that that was his response to the community fund clamor and that it doesn’t necessarily have any bearing on whether they’ll choose between making 2 new characters or more stages in the future.

[KombatLeaguer]

Honestly, if they want to say that Shadow Lords was part of Season 3’s content, then it should not have been FREE TO EVERYONE!

[DEClimax]

Are you actually upset that they’re making more of the game’s content available to everyone? Also, I’m p sure you can play on any stage regardless of what characters you’ve bought?

[KombatLeaguer]

Yeah. I’m just playing Devil’s Advocate. But I am a little upset that S3 cost as much as it did, when I would have gotten Shadow Lords anyway, even if I had not bought it.
