Nebula should be FREE

[strange palm]

Hey guys, I've been on the grind for nebula across my guns and have concluded the grind to get it makes it worth it and feels fufilling, but once you've then got your gun to level 100 (which is a mega long time if you don't have an increased XP skin) you then have to fork out 250k to get it? To me, this (and gold) should be achievement based and so getting a gun to level 100 should automatically unlock nebula.

In terms of any concern around people who have already paid 250k, that can be refunded.

[devout storm]

Some players are just rich in GPs I guess

[coral juniper]

I agree.
250k can take longer to accumulate than 100 lvls on a weapon overall, and it's painful to reach 100 and still have to grind MORE and know you will be effectively 'broke' after the purchase.

buy boxes, get gp...

This isn’t really related to the post but wanted to ask anyway. I don’t fully understand how it works but what if Ironsight had some kind of system like OG CoDs prestige system? I think I heard it’s where you reset your gun levels and lose all attachments or other stuff for a new emblem. There might be more to it than that but what does everyone think about it?

[strange palm]

I’d be all for a prestige based system, I think the progressional elements to the game are fantastic but can become a bit stale. I think the level 0-100 grind on both player level + gun level is genuinely perfect, but then adding a 250k purchase once you’ve done that is way over the top - as Curtis says above, getting to 100 is only half the battle haha

I don’t have Nebula on any guns but I also always looked at it and thought it’s weird that you have to buy it with GP instead of an achievement based system like you said. I only have gold on the HK416 but thought that should maybe be a progression thing too but maybe that’s just me. I know you still have to do challenges first but it just felt weird to me that you have to buy it after.

[strange palm]

That’s my problem exactly, like choose to make it monetary based OR achievement based (the latter being the far far farrrr better option) but making it both is just ludicrous

[unborn prawn]

Like attachments when u get them gold u get them for free so I don't see why guns aren't and if not free they need to be heavily reduced in price cause not every1 wants to spend a bunch of money on gp

[somber tundra]

100% agree, shouldn't have to waste a quarter-mill gp just to unlock a skin after all that grind.

[whole garden]

I thought you could only get GP by playing? I've never seen an option to buy them.

[unborn prawn]

u can buy with chip which u can buy with w coin, or u can buy lootboxes and some can give gp

[whole garden]

Oh ok I didn’t know about that or maybe just forgot.

[grave pelican]

Make it cheaper. Not free

[jaunty dust]

But that's the point of nebula. U are getting a high quality skin(purple as I remember) with animated reload, and u want that for free? U are paying a quarter-mill gp to get an animated skin, what was earlier achievable only with spending real money in game or a big luck in boxes. Imo u can't just get such a skin only with spending time playing game :/

[strange palm]

That’s ridiculous, so you’re saying you should have to grind the level to 100 (which is god knows how many hours) and then pay 250k which can take just as long, if not longer, to accumulate as getting to level 100?

[jaunty dust]

Well... as I said - devs gave u the ability to have animated skins for FREE, and when I say free, I mean that they are obtainable just thru the gaming, without paying any real money. As I also said, before the update with nebula skins there were no way to get an animated skins except for donating some dollars to the game or having a big luck in boxes. So what's ridiculous about it? And personally i don't understand why gp is such a problem, I literally have no idea where to even spend it on my account, but for some reason ppl are constantly whining about gp. Literally all what u spend gp on is bullets

Give him an inch and he'll take an ell - that's about all the players, who are whining about nebula skins, for some reason everything is always not enough

[strange palm]

I genuinely can’t think of one other good progression based system that combines both achievement and monetary based mechanics of such a level in order to unlock something, but yeah, whining…

It’s not whining my guy, see where it says ‘suggestions’. Currently there’s no reward for grinding a gun to level 100, whatsoever, unless you have 250K saved up which takes an incredibly long time, so what’s the point?

[umbral condor]

there is. having that 100 at your weapon. i have multiple guns on 100 and idk 2 nebula skins tops?
iirc my lvl100 guns are k2 dsr blaser chey qbz aug

[strange palm]

Fair play, I mean that’s what I’m doing haha, just getting guns to level 100 and calling it a day because having nebula on top of that is just unattainable (unless you’re willing to fork out loads of money haha).

I agree that having level 100 is an achievement in itself, so what’s the point of nebula then for an extra 250K haha.

All I’m saying is that it’s a very backwards progression system, that’s not opinion that’s a fact. Have one or the other, not both lmao.

[umbral condor]

well yea but no. like ksay said, having nebula skins with weapon animation and reload animation obtainable through default gameplay is a huge deal. for years you had to spend money for those animations. being able to buy them for 250k is okey imo but id like to have some variety in those skins tbh. idk. being able to change to different patterns of color.

[strange palm]

Yeah, I’d be more willing if the skin variations offered more diversity after grinding to level 100 + spending 250K, but I still just believe strongly that there should be something for reaching 100 in itself, otherwise what’s the point haha?

Look at old school COD’s (which this game clearly takes the vast majority of its influence from and has done so in a very good way) gold camo, dark matter, mastery camos etc, all attainable through getting guns to max levels, classes of guns to max level etc.

How about this… level 100 unlocks gold by default, getting all guns in one class gold (AR’s, SMG’s etc) unlocks nebula.

[devout storm]

I'm out of GP from buying nebula's

And I'm a gambling master

I only have 3 nebula's
Vector
MP
Ak12

That sounds like a good idea. That’s exactly how the new CoDs do it. Like MW19 for example to get gold you need to do all the challenges for that gun, platinum for getting gold on all weapons in that class and Damascus by unlocking platinum on every gun in the game that’s not a DLC weapon.

[paper marsh]

That structure can go personally f88k itself

[strange palm]

it's a hell of a lot better than having to grind a gun out only to realize you've gotta spunk 250k on top lol

[umbral condor]

then go and play cod...

[somber tundra]

Nebula is just gold skin with a green nebula animation added on, if you were to make the argument that a one time Nebula purchase of say 500k GP and then at that point any gun at lvl. 100 receives Nebula for free, then I can get on board with that grind. But 250k per gun even secondary's is a bit silly at a reward of like 400gp per match 🤣

[unborn prawn]

yh its just not worth the grind even gold should be like 50k

[royal stirrup]

To buy Nebula & Gold skin after a long grind is hell anyways. To collect a high amount of gp is on top reasonable to stop the grind once you know it. Beside it is weird anyways that you get gold attachments after a specific requirement and for weapons you have to farm stuff

[unborn prawn]

yh true
