Some people spent 20k coupons on the wheel and didn't get anything so I'll say you're lucky

I would like to try, "if" you up for it!

I was also tempted , but I think it's only mu gambling addiction. Logically doesn't make sense to put on this event if you aim only for tath.

yep, but with all the extra training potions and rune packs, it has cheaper ninja assist packs then other events this week.

Someone from our server got it for free spin. So lucky.

inggots = coupons are not literally equal.. If you recharged $210 it is equivalent to 10k inggots.. I would say you are not lucky if you use inggots not coupons to get him.. 10k inggots and 10k coupons are not the same.just saying..

I agree

u must be lucky if u got minato in the back too lmao

The event depends only on luck, so ofc there is no script trigger to give you Shisui on a specific spending amount. I saw 1 person do 25k into the wheel for Fuku and did not get Shisui + other person, who is a relatively heavy spender did max spins every day and did not get him.

Congrats, 100k++ coupon Shishui!

Question about the microtransactions. I was looking at some of the prices and it seems insane. Like the Infinite Tsukoyomi event. The cheapest thing is 25,000 ingots and 5000 ingots cost 1000 kreds. 1000 kreds costs $100. So that's a $500 item, and the other things in that event are even more expensive. So do people actually drop $500 on this game? Or is there a way to be smart about it?

Are the monthly cards worth it? What about Naruto's Froggy? These seem to be mechanics that turn ingots into even more coupons, but I'm afraid to let go of the few ingots I have. Do they sometimes have sales on stuff? So maybe I should wait for a sale to pay $ for something?

I mean in the normal world a new game costs $60 and a monthly subscription to a AAA quality MMO costs $15 a month. Naruto Online's price point just seems off the wall.

You haven't played these games before haven't you? This type of business model has been going on for over a decade.

These gaming companies target whales who is capable of spending more than the average player. The pricing is insane for the average player but since the expected demand for these characters from whales still continue, companies like Oasis will continue to price it as such.

Well,that type events are up every week,so,yea,people do spend that kind of $ into this game.Is prices high?Absolutely.Is it worth it?Maybe if you feel like stomping f2p players,yes.

Well I've played other P2W games. Star Trek Online and Stronghold Kingdoms. I dropped a fair share of $ in both. Probably too much. But both of these games tried to present themselves in such a way that they weren't P2W. If you accused them of being P2W you were treated like a bad person who said a naughty word. Even in Stronghold Kingdoms where it was possible for a rich player to build a huge stone castle on the first day a server opened, they tried their best to put up a front of "Our game has fair PvP and can be enjoyed by everybody". Almost everyone could afford a card pack. There were no $500 items.

I'm just a little shocked that here in Naruto Online it seems to be a different mentality. "Yes our game is P2W. This is a $500 item. Our sales model targets the whales exclusively."

I was just curious of there's a way to get the good stuff without dropping all that $. Or if that's really just how it is here. I've only been playing this a few days so I don't know.

It reminds me of the EVE Online monocle. Don't know if there are any EVE players here?

There's a difference between the games you played - and its the business model. Browser games from Asian countries (China, Japan, South Korea) operate differently. These games make sure characters that are needed to progress in the game in the meta is limited via a cash/resource barrier. On top of that, they even have a higher tier barrier where you can even separate yourselves even further if you are willing to spend that much. That's one of the reasons why these countries have requested gaming companies to post % of getting certain characters. Outside of Asia, there isn't much enforcement.

The only way to get good stuff is gaining knowledge from playing these games. When I first played this game, I knew not to spend any of the coupons I earned and not played until I understood the game and what events the game offers. If you notice events in games where you there are rebates, you try to exploit that event. Understand that you aren't going to beat the p2w - that's a given but I can beat the * and inexperienced f2ps who isn't testing how the game operates. Honestly, at this point of this game cycle, you are better of only playing this game for the love of Naruto or finding friends. The balance of the game has gone terrible since it was created ever since about 4 years ago.
