How does everyone feel about Sea of Thieves mtx plans?
The mtx will be pets, emotes, and ship cosmetics that celebrate old rare characters (potentially MS characters as well)
I find it hard to criticize it too much considering how much we got for free without ANY mtx available beyond physical item exclusives (like the controller)
The plan was initially pets which I was all on board with because its something outside the game that you couldn't just earn on their own. It's a way to give your character some flare.
In a game where the only thing to spend gold on is cosmetics, spending real money on cosmetics seems a little cheap. They will be rare game themed at the very least but I hope they don't spend so much time designing mtx cosmetics that they ignore the main games cosmetics which could use some better stuff.
The emotes is where I think I would have issues with if they are not done right. They said they dont want to introduce mtx that messes with power in the game (ie no stat bonuses, weapons etc) but emotes do hide your player tag and allow you to hide better on ships and islands. If they introduce emotes that sort of "lower" your characters profile this could be an issue. We already see this in games like Fortnite where there are emotes that allow you to lay down behind cover. Or allow you to pose like a statue and blend in to environments (this is actually hilarious, but you get my point)
