Omega Emote is Tasteless

[Metalwrath]

Op there are a lot of people who cant even afford to resub now because of covid.There are also a lot of other people including myself who have ended up with medical issues due to services being closed during lockdown.And i'll tell you now my priority has not been on video games.Its been about paying rent and actual important things.Not complaining over a virtual cosmetic item and a figurine thats only redeeming quality is its nice to look at.
The thing is though you dont need an emote to play the game.Your giving off a self entitlted attitude.
Covid isnt Se's fault nor are they obliged to make changes for you because your having a bad time in life.It's a business at the end of the day.They still had to work through covid and some of them have probably suffered real life issues from covid themselves be it personally or something with family.They were kind enough to halt housing demolitions for a long time knowing people couldnt afford to resub.

You just have to suck it up like the rest of us.thats life.

I'm one of those very few people who buy for the figuring. When the figure came out, everyone can pre-order and the advertisement for the emote is stock image of Omega MF's still frame screenshot and their emote icons. Nobody cared, including my fc. Now the emote came out, suddenly it becomes a thing. It is really unfair for our buyers and SE developers. I have ppl downvote my video just for the emote and I really wish this could stop. It's a cool figure and a cool emote, that is all about it.

Nice sob story OP but your sentiment is very disingenous. You claim to care about how new players would feel, yet I haven't seen you starting similar threads for:

-Legacy character content
-Other statue/figures emotes
-Unobtainable event mounts and costumes

So I have to assume that you possess all of the aforementioned stuff but missed out on the Omega emote and only now have issues with time/cash gated content because it's all about you, you and you.

I laugh at anyone who spends $220 to float for a few seconds.

THIS, lol. I feel for your situation Damian, but really think about it. Do you seriously want to spend 220 dollars on a bit of data? I get that it's not exactly the emote but a wider issue with how the game is set up in your eyes. But a part of me thinks you may be just projecting a bit if obtaining limited time stuff in a video game means so much to you.

ummm it's more for the statue than the emote?

I buy them for the emote. Though I have money to burn.

Even with the statue included, I scratch my head how people are willing to pay that kind of money for a bit of cheap plastic and a few bits of data.

I guess some people simply have too much of the stuff.

I like the Emotes but there wasn't a single Statue yet I liked. I dont really care for Monsters, Primals or Bosses. I would prefer Figures of the Scions or other popular NPCs. But well... they decided to always to Creature Statues. That saves me a ton of money. But yeah. I would love to have this emotes..... but not this statues

I feel the same way when people spend tons of money on booze and smoking stuff. Or going to sporting events.


People spend money on their hobbies.

My financial decisions are not poor, and they are none of your business. The only right you have to comment on my financial decisions, is based on the information I give you.

....My sides are in orbit.
"You cannot judge my finances from what little information I've divulged about myself! You're only allowed to judge what little financial information about myself I've divulged!!"
"You've no right to comment on a public forum post I made in a manner that I do not deem acceptable!"

For the record: Got the statue. The emote's cool for all of like, 5 seconds. Only neat quirk is while you're floating, your head is locked in place and your eyes track anything you target. That's about it. You're literally not missing out on anything important.
