The Downfall Of Heirlooms

[@sleet9289]

Universal heirlooms are definitely a flop for me, the whole point of heirlooms are how they fit the character and have a whole bunch of personality.

[@saihiko9967]

Yup

[@mechaflood2247]

This is the same reason people hated the Ash heirloom cause it didn't really seem to fit. I really hope this event flops so respawn get their ass in gear and stop trying to squeeze every penny out of players, both the buster sword and this heirloom have like 3 animations which is pretty lazy considering the price

[@GoblinSlayerZach]

I was ignorant to think universal heirlooms would be rare and tied into a cool cross-over, like Final Fantasy was, I got the Buster Sword to tide me over until Vantage gets her personal heirloom. Now I’m realizing that the game will probably die before the circle back to that. So disappointed…

[@Mr_Tensai]

I rly think they should've kept these universal for colabs or do one of these for every anniversary event..But they want to over do this..5..5 more of these they want to add in a row.. Who's gonna buy them?.. What's the point?..Oh u can customize them..But it's worth 600$ to change a god damn color when recolors are 160$ or less and u can get 2 heirlooms+ banner,pose,voiceline, finsiher or emote.. Literally u spend 4 times the price and lose 4 items.. And i'm soo mad cuz Newcastle heirloom was talked about, then the Ballistic skin popped up in the museum holding a very detailed cane..All these just for them to add these complete Gamble events?..BRUH.. I am not mad at u..I get the FF7 sword..It was the first of his kind, it was a colab..Ur good from me..But this new shit is literally worse than any legend based heirloom..

[@somethirstyboi6722]

the game's been long dead lmao

[@Juggernaut1782]

Looking back it just makes me sad the community as a whole didn't fight back harder even after the first event because no other F2P game seems to make you pay over 200 bucks an event potentially just to collect everything. It's such a scam

[@skylershuman7705]

I've been playing Warframe. The equivalent to a collection event is a prime resurgence. $200 for everything in the event, but also you can get everything for free.

[@Mr_Tensai]

​@@skylershuman7705Do NOT compare Warframe to Apex..U can get everything for free if u farm..Even the in game currency aka silver u can get by selling parts of primes..I have a friend that grinded everything and has many characters fully costumized all for Free..In Apex u can't even get 1 AC for free..

[@mechaflood2247]

​​@@skylershuman7705ngl warfame isn't a very good comparison since you either need to fork over the cash or slave away for a week straight. You just trade money for a higher cost in time

[@mechaflood2247]

As a community we need to do better in standing up against respawn. Get your favorite content creators to stop buying out events for bland videos and get your friends to stop buying skins when they first come out.

[@Atmos_Glitch]

​@@mechaflood2247 It also doesn't help that you're rarely if ever left feeling forced to pay for things, there not being any other method of acquisition, or not being able to buy things directly when you have to pay in Warframe. These aren't really problems the average player would face in that game since the most sound solution would be to just _Grind_ lol The real fomo for me is missing out on Operation Events since those actually never come back lol.

[@JeanneCutieJ]

Tbh as much as I love her, her heirloom is the one that doesn't have ANY story to it. And since they are doing this bullshit with an heirloom NO ONE WANTS I don't think we'll be getting any recolors for her or anyone else until then.

[@Atmos_Glitch]

​@@JeanneCutieJNo there is lore to the heirloom but it's related to the Ashley side of her and her relationship with Horizons Son or whatever. So it's got nothing to do with her past as a simulacrum, which is a missed opportunity smh

[@JeanneCutieJ]

@@Atmos_Glitch okay thank you for clarifying so it makes more sense that it's more of a sentimental heirloom

[@Arcadianx98]

People are buying them though that’s why they made the change. Blame the garbage player base

[@Camscam]

I don't understand how they fail to realize how much more money they'd make if they made heirlooms more affordable for the playerbase. If it's less expensive then more people would want to buy it, it'd generate more trust/respect from players, and that would generate much more money in the long term. But no, they chase the short term financial gain and lose out on both player respect AND money. That's what being blinded by greed does to these companies. It makes them oblivious to the better solution because all they understand is "Higher number is better!"

[@judasblewit]

I've always thought about this. Why charge so much and sell so little when you can make it affordable and sell 3x as much.

[@chriselkins6771]

The problem is that for every 3 people that say they would buy, not guarantee, that they'd get a 50$ heirloom, there is somebody okay paying 150 or 300 for these. So as long as they are making a killing, it won't matter. And unfortunately voting with our wallets does NOTHING. All they see is "oh this type of item didn't work let's try a different heirloom type instead". On top of that, the allure of them helps sales. If they were cheaper and easier to get, people would not spend as much on packs

[@Camscam]

@@chriselkins6771 If there are two groups of 100 people with an heirloom in Group A priced at $160 and an heirloom in Group B priced at $60, which group would generate more money? In Group A, I can estimate that out of the 100 people only 10-15 people would rationalize buying the heirloom at $160. That would come out to a revenue of $1600-$2400. However in Group B, I can estimate that out of the 100 people there'd be at least 40-50 people who would rationalize buying the heirloom at $60. That would come out to a revenue of $2400-$3000. Making something more accessible to the average consumer means that more players will be able to afford it and more revenue will be generated in turn. Not only that, but you'll ALSO have many players who can now purchase multiple heirlooms rather than just the one heirloom for their main legend of choice. It has a compounding effect on the amount of people buying them and the amount of revenue being generated. THIS IS EXACTLY MY POINT when I say that greed can blind you to better alternatives. When you're so focused on big dollar signs and making as much money as possible in the short term you miss out on making even more money in the long term by simply being more generous to the average consumer.

[@fuscello]

Sadly the marketing team of every company is always the most developed department, they know what they are doing. In simple terms people tend to not care about the price AFTER they decided that they will buy it; in other words the hardest part in selling something is making the customer want not the thing, but want to BUY the thing after that the price doesn’t matter as much. So selling something at a third of the price is only a risk for the company as even if just one out of three customers is fine buying is at triple the price (and that happens because of what I said before) is not worth lowering the price

[@duytran9086]

Don't forget morons that fund streamers/CCs to buy these fucking garbage.

[@nashdashflash]

I really doubt that legend heirlooms will stop. They're releasing new legends at a much slower pace, so they'll eventually catch up to where every legend gets an heirloom weapon + skin... they are probably just trying to spread out the time a bit with the universal heirloom and upgrades.

[@skyfallprime7977]

As a Crypto main, I would've considered getting the heirloom just for the finisher, if the finisher was better. Default finisher: Asset Procurement - He grabs a USB like thing from the downed fellow, which has information which Crypto wants, he takes it, and then he's gone. The legendary finisher: Grab the downed fellow, have his drone scan the fellow for all their worth, while he's looking around to make sure no one's sneaking up on him, knocks him out and leaves. "Heirloom" finisher: "Heirloom - A memento of legacy" - Grab a blade that's fractured into pieces, assemble it, start "floating"/"jumping" while t-pose horizonal slash them (WHILE SPINNING MIND YOU). - It has nothing related to Crypto except the blade. The previous 2 finishers where all to "gather information" and just "knock out" - the "heirloom" finisher is not there for information, Crypto knows you're guilty, and he's there for the kill. But what does he do? An unassembled blade, slow kill, ineffective kill, no urgency or desperation from a fugitive, no caution, no rage against his assailant - just an expressionless ineffective kill. It just felt so disappointing. Bloodhound at least used technology, that which went against their principles from their youth, and combined new ways and the old ways of the hunter. Bangalore had an intimidating presence with brutal "Going in for the kill" with effortless execution, worthy of that of a soldier. Caustic with the unholy abomination of poison corroding flesh and bone to a mere sludge, fitting for toxic trapper. Valkyrie bringing a storm of blades to skewer the down foe with impunity. (Fitting if you know Valkyrie from nordic mythology, since they were battlemaidens (although this may be me missremembering popfiction and mythology) Revenant grabbing your soul and pulling it into his shadow realm. (Hella metal, if I was revenant main I'd get it for sure, shame I'm Crypto all the way) Loba finally getting some actual claws fitting for her, (although imo disappointing), she stabs the foes up close and personal and makes them disintegrate. She really robbed them of everything they had. Meanwhile Crypto: Wonky horizontal spin slash attack while floating/jumping. Of course it's a little bit unfair to compare 15 mythic skins to merely 1 finisher, but it's only mythic finishers that I can compare with

This is just bullshit.. Basically Heirloom shards are useless for a part of the community, that will grow overtime..So don't say "Oh only the low picked legends won't get one" cuz even the future legends won't get one..In other words..Respawn can release a banger of legend that has 3rd highest pickrate but it will never get his/her legend based heirloom and that will be fucked up..Universal Heirlooms or Artifacts are ok if they where the free version and u can spend money to costumize them like a pre legend heirloom thingy but not smth to overcome/overshadow the legend based heirloom bc cmon now u can't say the big sword and this Katar are better than many legend based heirlooms bc both of us know ur lying..🤷

[@guy_above_me_is_ugly]

I hate how INCONSISTENT apex is If they want to add things, they shouldn't complete cancel or leave unfinished other things (like the heirlooms for characters that do not have one yet, how some prestige skins and heirlooms have certain features that the others do not have, making some of them look like they have less value)

[@darkmoonblade1329]

I haven't played the games in months, I never payed attention to the new updates to the game so when cross progression happened, I got all my heirlooms but I had duplicate heirlooms so I lost that money and I also lost 80,000 kills because I logged into my pc account not my PlayStation account.

[@Caboos55]

They can do whatever they want with cosmetics. Character heirlooms are great, but the target market is limited. Universal heirlooms are for everyone and if you dont want do do the collection events that are fine too since they are rng and expensive. the new materials for them seem cool since now you can get them along with the reactive skins using the currancy, but we dont know how much that will cost. I think they format the seasonal challenges for the flatline is meant for engagement along with the battle pass with a plus of earning the skins for a heavy discount to being free though playing. We are able to play the game for free. if you cant afford it then thats tough. Riot has been doing more stuff for the whales to make them feel more separated from the free to play/ small spenders. they had a 500 dollar jhin recolor you got from grab bags similar to how this current event is going.

[@teotissier9692]

Can we also talk about the fact that they give us trail (when we jump at the start). And then they remove our trail like that for buisness reason ? I feel like it's so unfair to just remove something to your players like that

[@TheLastRasputin]

TBH a lot of this should be core content, like the deathboxes. Why put something so unavailing behind such a ridiculous paywall. They said they removed pointless items from the battle pass, but let's be real, deathbox recolors are just interesting enough to be put behind a $10/season paywall that you have to still play to earn.

they just need to make simple weapons and have them A LOT cheaper. like if they had a cool katana or something, i'm sure people would buy it and use it. and then it doesn't take anything away from the heirlooms

[@silverragecx]

I enjoyed how the deathbox skins got reworked the next season silently, It used to be for when *YOU* died but then ofc everyone would t bag you rightfully so, so next season they changed it to be the recolor of death boxes for enemies you killed instead lmfaooo 😂

[@Adder6112]

how did you not mention that we still dont have the caustic door smash animation

[@officialkirbyfan6899]

Just glad Mirage got one in time but come on Respawn give him a skydive emote.

[@wkndwarrior4733]

Random heirloom shards in apex packs is one of the best things in the game. I got mine around season 9 I think. But it’s really crap I have played since week 1 and have only gotten 1 random heirloom. Are people still getting them? Every 500 apex packs like it was originally? It’s too late now but I wish they would have heirloom grants based on number of kills or wins with a legend. Even if you had to pay a reasonable price to access it lol no way that would happen.

[@chan_va]

If the new universal heirlooms were more obtainable than regular heirlooms, and ran supplementary to legend specific heirlooms, I would probably like them. Instead, they are less obtainable and less interesting at the same time. The fact that one of them was already fomo'd and is just impossible to ever obtain again really doesn't paint the best picture of the new attitude towards these cosmetics going forward.

[@adinovc]

Make a video to of that they still didn released the new bloodhound heirloom anitmations i want them to know.

[@Pexodus11]

I was technically over level 1000 before prestige was a thing now I'm about to prestige again and still don't have an heirloom. I very much question the certain amount of packs and you get one, if I'm not over 500 packs opened I'd be surprised

[@dillonjelly3634]

apparently u need to reach level 2500 or something to guarantee one

[@craftboy338]

As someone who bought out the Secret Society event in a moment of weakness... Yeah I have serious regrets.

[@weakness.detector]

and I'd like to remind you, that EA DOES NOT CARE. I had issues with shards...I opened shards 2 times, right as server crashes happened. OK, I didn't get them - talk with support. Great. Back then there was live support and I kid you not, they escalated the issue both instances many many times. Turns out, server crash happened before they got recognised, buuuut it didn't stop there. Because the first time it bugged, it reset the counter. So I opened my first permanent heirloom that I still own on pack 700+ . So, now I have 1 instead of 3 :)

[@crimson_kairo7663]

I don't mind the universal heirlooms, but only if they made them available through legend tokens.

[@rRaidenV]

Man, the Evolution of creatures don’t have the type of TIMELINE which ApexLegends does

[@mechaflood2247]

Mainly because evolution works to improve creatures while apex doesn't

[@jace_is_fazed]

When I 1st played apex I also agreed that heirlooms sucked at that universal melees were better, but rn respawn/EA really have been stupid. It's good that they are focusing on universal melees but it is such a dick move to scrap and leave heirlooms.

[@BillyCent50cal]

It's all such a scam with these events where they spend their time working on the store and give us moving capture points and expect us to be so happy.

[@Wallahi13]

I stopped playing during one of the christmas train events because I couldn’t get into apex for months and never knew I could get free heirlooms

[@rudibakker2102]

Every legend deserves an own unique heirloom

[@vojtechvavra9452]

first step south was, prestige skins and removal of rank trials.

[@samuelf5823]

as good as the re-color is, it started going downhill when wraith got it.

[@poiopop]

Is no one going to talk about how that video was called “3 heirlooms in 39 packs”

[@a1exc]

Respawn doesn't see criticism from players, they only see financial losses.

[@bellarodriquez66]

Will we still be able to get heirloom shards and spend them on previous heirlooms and prestige skins though????

[@stremper4540]

Heirlooms have always been poop. They could have made heirlooms mean something (grind, level of skill etc.) but they will always be something you can either buy for an insane amount (collection events) or a damn drop from a loot box. Imagine they made heirlooms grindable rewards for legends. Shit would look different.

[@Elizabethafton100]

Original heirlooms are always gonna be alive for me

[@Magnegro]

This new event feels like the Iron Crown event, yeah. I forgot how bad it was. I remember laughing about it and not spending money on anything until like, S3. Shadow Society feels bad though -- I really wanted a few of the skins and the fact that I can't just buy the ones I want has turned me off of spending money on Apex, period. It's just so callous and insulting

[@lucasteo5015]

General rule of thumb never spend a penny on a game, at most a skin that you really like and stick with it, I bought a cool pathy skin at some point cost me about 10usd ish, which is about a normal price of a game in my country. I started playing when horizon first came out and immediately noticed that everything is outright expensive, and i couldn't understand why people are willing to buy these instead of other useful stuff irl. If you bought more than one heirlooms there is a problem, and you should stop.

[@konodioda3912]

I could tell the game was going downhill making these decisions. The biggest thing i hate is i was waiting forever for Respawn to add new skins and finishers to the game like they did way back in s4 or something so we could get in packs or craft but that was literally the only update they ever did that way. Since then everything has been event related and really dry. They don't reward the players enough tbh.

[@toasty7685]

i was in the second to last wave of people to get their accounts back in season 8, i got nothing, and my friend who got his account back literally 2 days later got the rewards -_- still feel a little cheated about that

[@conzo141]

Is it only me that remembers that wraiths recolour heirloom was supposed to be only available during the event? Was that not a massive selling point of it like wth. The EA vultures have no shame

[@Asher-pz2kg]

if they stop legend specfic heirlooms there would be literal riots

[@mtkzer]

I feel like heirlooms have just become quick cash grabs for ea. they should have just made one for each legend and released after some time.
