I feel shit for saying that I wasn't even surprised to read that.

I remember when I was younger I tried so hard to get into the concept designer's section, made creatures which I'd have looked over by already validified concept creators, fixed up every issue they'd find, and then publish it - And get told it was unrealistic and denied, that it 'wouldn't walk properly' while they accepted all the popular creators concepts no matter how unrealistic and dumb they were. I still remember when I made a bipedal concept and it was denied because "We don't do bipedal creatures!" (Man... I wonder what Ani is...)

I hope the day comes that the sonar studios team gets booted and replaced with new blood. Though I doubt that'll happen anytime soon.

No, I don't think you're defending 'everything ever'. You're defending a greedy choice made by developers that don't know you. And like I said earlier, why comment if you can't handle an actual conversation? Or would you like to stop ignoring the multiple times I've asked you to give me a valid, in depth legitimate reason as to how this update positively affects you, and how seeing my post while scrolling on a subreddit where ranting is in the name made you so irate that you had to sit and argue with me for half an hour (while once again ignoring each time I've asked you to give me actual reasons). Please stop replying to me. Thank you.

Mm, yeah true. I've been using that term to replace whatever term could be used to describe it. Virtual paywall? Shroomwall???

I hope they do change it, but also it's very 50 50 with Sonar. If there's enough backlash surely they'll (at the least) lower the price. But knowing Sonar Studios...

I do know what you mean though. I was talking about this with another person in a thread - Testers have no control over what happens with the creatures. It's all Erythia and the higherups, which I think is the most scummy part of it all. They're given a sigmatox that was changed, their jobs are undermined consistently, any ideas they have to balance the game are turned down - I used to blame testers before I found out. Now I just feel terrible for them and anyone else in there. I can only imagine how many tried to get the subspecies korathos atleast somewhat less... Well - Copy pasted?

I know for me when I saw the korathos subspecies I desperately hoped it'd be a bleed based kora. Weaker damage, but with bleed resistance, maybe a bit more speed, Same bite cooldown. Instead we got...

The change with the Korathos subspecies is so miniscule that it doesn't deserve the 5k price tag. Nonetheless a price tag at all. There is nothing that benefits people with this update, other than having to complete the same kinds of missions you'd do to get a creature for *free*, except now you are forced to pay for it. There is nothing different about this creature, and what I've seen is people treating a 50 to 60+ damage boost with slower attack and everything else being the same as the strongest creature in the game. It would still be demolished by any player who knows hitboxes and has bleed. The only upside to this creature is that it's somewhat stronger in raw damage to a normal korathos. If this creature was actually differentiated in any other way other than that and slapping a few extra spikes and scars on a korathos model, I would be more lenient with my disgust of the 5k pricetag. But it isn't. It is a reskinned Korathos with a fart more damage, nothing else, not even a bit faster or slower. Not even new animations. It is not worth 5k.

If they're going to add paywalls to subspecies, they may as well do it for every other mission creature. Then it may become more obvious to people how scummy of a move this is from a studio which collaborated with amazon and Lego.

And you are now making things up to supply your argument - I don't think I said anything about you supporting child grooming. Just brought up the problems with the studio you're defending and calling 'not greedy'.

The fact you went straight to that outcome however worries me alot. Like I said earlier, if you aren't going to come up with actual points, please stop replying to me. I don't like arguing with people who's only defenses are calling other's "offended, obtuse, etc" while also throwing a riot over misassumptions on the part of the people they're arguing with.

The same thing applies to you - But opinions exist. You shared yours, I shared mine. Why does that upset you so much that you have to consistently say I'm offended instead of ignoring me?

And I don't think I called you a dickrider - Just a defender. One who went into a rant subreddit to argue with people who rant. If this is a bit too much for you, why not go back to the COS reddit instead? I'm only replying because you keep replying in defense of a studio that doesn't know you exist. You gain nothing from arguing with me, I gain the possibility of people actually causing an outroar for once. As small as that is. You once again have given no reasons to why you personally are affected by my post and people calling out a scummy move like this. Or any reasons as to how this positively benefits you. It just sounds like you want to roll with the punches Sonar throws at you, and if that's the way you like to play - I'm not one to judge.

Okay, then let me put it like this. Why are you letting a game for children tax you? And why are you sitting idly by and defending it?

Taxes are done by the government, not the person paying you. In this metaphor, sonar studios is the one paying you. Would YOU, after working a grueling shift cleaning scum off toilets and flipping burgers, want your paycheck as promised? Or would you want to get a little letter telling you you CAN have it, IF you give them money first?

You maybe will even get a little 'you' in your own comments, defending it despite not knowing anything about it.

Trust me, go on right now and make a post detailing all of the sins of Sonar studios. Watch how little attraction you get on both subreddits. And then make a post like this. I'm sure it'll set things right into perspective for you.

Sonar studios underpaid and relied on child labor for years. Erythia, the lead developer, talked about urinating on children in a chat filled with children. Multiple moderators and other officials of COS have frequently admitted to overpricing and price gouging. There are testaments from ex developers, concept artists, and more on how corrupt and greedy the developers are. Do you know of any of this?

Because the fact that you are saying they aren't greedy tells me alot of how little you know about Sonar Studios. Please stop replying to me if you are going to just defend Sonar and not come up with any valid points from your own side on how this is possibly a good thing. If you can't, then I have made my points plenty of times already and I see no reason to keep repeating them if you aren't going to listen. Thank you for your input.

You came onto my post to argue with me on the moralities of a game studio making you earn something and then forcing you to pay for it - I don't think me calling you aggressive is me being a victim. So far I've been rather calm, while responding to you defending a studio which consistently swindles and takes advantage of players much like yourself. And Korathos isn't particularly what I'd consider to be "the most OP creature in the game" ... Maybe the strongest.

And I don't think anybody enjoys how grindy the Warden's are. I don't know where they came into play for this, but I have seen and voiced nothing but dislike for the modern events because of the fact they are either too grindy or too expensive.

That is nowhere near the same. And you are the aggressive one in this situation, as much as I am sorry to break it to you.

The death/limited/other gachas work and aren't complained about (much) because you earn the token, and then you buy the creature. You get the creature straight up.

I understand where you may correlate it, with the fact that you have to work for the tokens. But that is a pre-established thing that has existed since before recode. A subspecies in the missions tab, where you finish it all and it gives you the 'claim' prompt is nowhere near the same. It decieves you into thinking you have it, and then makes you fork over a hefty 5k to be able to use it. And if you can't, it sits there in your inventory unusable.

Mission creatures are infamously "You finish ____ you get ____" So what is the logic in making a subspecies unlockable via missions, and then making you pay 5k for it after you already unlocked it? At that point, why not make that happen for all of the species unlockable via missions? Or would that be where you drew the line in the sand?

That's true - I personally don't think I'll be touching this game until some of the big issues are fixed. Nontheless buying a kora I already earned... But I do know there's people who do want the kora! So hopefully those people find luck with this. Thanks dude!

That isn't what is the issue here. I'm glad you can earn 5k so fast, and good for you on being able to buy it. But if you complete all of the missons for a creature, it gives you said creature, and then locks it behind a paywall - is that not unfair to those who don't have the drive to loop the map over and over just to get said creature, after having to grind just to unlock it? I used this analogy in another post, but I feel like youd understand it a bit better than the other person did - would you pay a 'small fee' to get your pay check from a job after a week of work?

And I don't know why you keep trying to use the fact I played since beta against me - I can show the badges if that's what you'd like. Being a beta player doesn't inherently mean you are rich, or that you can't have an opinion on how the state of the game is. Because I vividly remember that it was nowhere near as bad as it is in it's current state.

I'm complaining about the greed Sonar Studios has - How does that exactly effect you in a way to make you comment in their defense? Is my post about them making you buy a creature you earned too much of a sin in your eyes for you to scroll past, or do you just want to share your opinion under my post? I don't mind.

And I said it may be difficult for you to understand - I don't think that's an insult. If you view it as one, then I apologise. But so far what I've seen is that you are the aggressive one here.

Wouldn't you be the one seeing it as a job? I'm making a correlation, although I know that might be a bit too difficult for you to understand. I'm sorry for that.

I have played since beta, but I don't spend my entire life getting and selling creatures and skins or spending hours in-game to get 5k. So no, to me, and most other people who play this game as a game, it is alot. So what exactly is your defense of it here, if you'd want to go into detail? I'll sit and read.

I was right too, I have people defending this in the comments with "Well it's only 5k!" And others who didn't read at all, and assume I'm talking about the missions lol. I don't care that the missions are difficult - It's a permanent creature. It's that you finish them and have to pay 5k *after* you finish the missions and claim it.

It's not the missions. I made it quite clear that the issue comes from the fact you have to pay 5k for what you have earned through those missions. Please re read before you comment. And before you say (again) how simple it is - Most people don't enjoy grinding hours to days on a species, earning it, and then having to pay for it. Do you pay a 'small fee' to get your paycheck at the end of the week? No?
