Cosmetics available for everyone

[grand frigate]

Every holiday we receive an absolutely amazing holiday cosmetic packs for our weapons and tents/blinds, but they're available for a very short amount of time, which is during the week of that particular holiday. Many players have cases when they don't have access to the game at that time period and they lose these amazing gifts to the circumstances.

Here's my example:
I'm out of town ever since August of this year (2023) and don't have access to my Playstation and to the game. I will be back soon to purchase everything I missed but won't be able to get this amazing cosmetics on my account.

The suggestion here is to keep them free as a gift during the holiday and give us the chance to purchase them with money as a dlc after the holiday has ended. Personally I will buy every single one that I missed and I'm sure many players would too the ones they liked but unfortunately missed. This will also give an opportunity to bring them back as a gift next time the holiday is around, and make them free for that week and maybe add a new cosmetic pack as well.
Thank you Expansive Worlds

Or even adding them to the store as free items would be much better than limited time.

Much like what the angler is doing.

I think this could fix the issue where they don’t appear and you have to restart your game,because it only happens on the free seasonal items (for me).

Same for me

This one almost slipped past me during the holidays. I've made sure the team has seen this

Thank you Jaxy!! You're truly the best!

But isn't this and dlcs how EW makes money?

[grand frigate]

DLCs yes, but these were free in the first place

[quiet briar]

didn't know lol

[quasi patrol]

@tropic dust Any word on this?

[tropic dust]

Nothing official as of yet. The hurdle we face is these are offered as a limited time often seasonal event. They weren't intended as a paid DLC.

I did see the value this would have for our players and took it to our team. So it's possible but these things take time. It is a possibility though.

Why is literally the same thing viewed in a positive light here but I get downvoted for saying the same thing? #1205502649320083467 message

Also a big NO to having them as optional paid items in the store. Cosmetics should be free and permanently available, period.

I don’t know,but I totally agree with you.

Firstly, I wouldn't get too hung up on the down votes as your thread is on the up anyway.

Secondly, because this thread is making a reasonable request without being rude. Some of your argument is good but you're essentially demanding for free stuff. Which comes across as a little entitled and ungrateful. Game companies don't owe their customers freebies. It's their prerogative. I've been lucky so far not to miss any but I would also like the skins to be accessible out of season. And happy to pay for them. The developers are people too and need to earn a living just like you. Regardless of how basic you think the designs are, time and consideration would have gone into the work.

[mental zinc]

Because your being rude and acting like a child

@grand frigate I feel your pain 😅 I work 2 weeks on one week off and have missed out on the one I wanted (Thanksgiving copper metal) so I'd be happy to purchase them to support the devs when we miss out 👌🏻
