Title, I want to know how everyone feels about the rotating shop along with not being able to see all the skins a character has available if you don't own it, Its probably my biggest complaint about the game, might even be my only one as of rn. A rotating shop may get more people to spend money right away, but thinking about it years down the line and theres over 100 skins but you cant see them unless you own them that sounds kinda strange no?

I’m fine with the rotating shop personally. But it should rotate at least once per week (not per 2 weeks as it currently is).

My position is I don't care about the idea of "omg this skin's about to rotate out I better buy it"
I do care and am annoyed that I have to wait for a chance at buying something I do want from the shop.

I think maybe have new releases in a “featured” section which sticks around for a week or so, and then have a “daily” section (or similar short-ish time period) which rotates through older cosmetics at a faster rate. I feel like that strikes a decent balance between having a rotating store (which is generally better for business) and allowing players to get particular cosmetics which they like without having to wait too long.

I hate it and it shouldnt be there.

I think it's a very bad practice. And it's not even good for them. The game is free and qualitative so I want to support them, the skins are really well made so buying skins feels like a great way to support them. Unfortunately I don't have access to skins on the character I want and if I do it might not be a skin I want. Result: I am not spending money on the game and probably won't or extremely rarely ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

As long as cosmetics provide no advantages, I'm not bothered, however FOMO rotating shop is indeed a cruel practice.

I hope after some patches and skins they'll change it because there aren't that many skins rn

It's not just the fomo model that icks me right now, it's also the lack of transparency in what you're buying. Each skin (to my knowledge so far, I have 3) has 4 variant colour schemes that must also be purchased before unlocking the ability to purchase the "Luxe" version of the skin which costs as much as another skin but us in essence just a recolor with some sparkles effects.

#

The full value of a skin isn't the advertised price, it's the non-advertized gotcha price

Yeah, I think the variants should be bought using an earned in-game currency

i legit want to throw my money at this game but i just cant? what i want to buy is not in the shop currently and so i must wait 14 DAYS to have a chance at buying something else

#

Rotating shop is a bit bad unless you are Valorant and people are willing to buy an 80€ skin (I think)

#

financially speaking

Maybe it will be better when theres a larger variety of skins to choose from in the rotating shop, tho i dont believe it should be

I honestly just wish we could see all the skins a character has access to when looking at the hunter locker
