What does this suggestion change/add/remove:

My suggestion to lower price of Shadow Dimension Rift Bridge from 30k to 10k

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:


I don't think, but with new change of Shadow bridges being able to be dropped from a mission it has new context

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):

- Will Allow MC&D to sell them despite them being now available for free as a reward for a mission.
- It will increase utilisation of shadow dimension. Currently shadow dimension is under utilized. Having low price alternative will increase use of it.


Possible Negatives of the suggestion:

- Abuse of low prices can result over saturation of the market making shadow dimension rift bridges even less viable to buy

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:

Over all it will be good change to keep MC&D viable in selling stuff to other factions
 
20k(?) for a dimension that is the exact same as 22415 but you can’t easily get in to kill them
Just give it back its total invisibility so there’s an upside/reason to drop fat stacks on i
They got rid of the total invisibility because CI would use it to get into hcz without issues and no one would call out doors magically opening and so foundation would cry to NL like they always do.

+support
make shadow dimension great again

The dimensions were initially designed without combat use in mind.
Since implementation, we have discovered that people actually don't really have much to research in relation to them, and so they ended up being for combative use.
I agree that shadow dimension should have some usage that is greater than 22415. With the addition of the Scranton being able to pull people out of any dimension, I think Shadow being fully/almost completely invisible would have counter-play now which didn't exist when this was first introduced.

I think we can all agree that the shadow dimension needs some tuning to be worth the present $30,000 and that it's application is mostly combative nowadays, however in my prior attempt to suggest enhancements to the system, which included an upgrade to reduce your outside visibility in the dimensions, content team said they did not want to give dimensions a "combative enhancement." Unfortunately content team sees plenty of RP in the current dimensions system that the rest of us don't see. It's a shame because its such a cool system that unfortunately doesn't get used

When was it ever not used for combat enchantments?
The first use of it to my knowledge was by mtf to go into dblock and assassinate a type blue that was hidden in there. The fact of the matter is that it literally has no use in rp besides being a “cool” place that 22415 can go into and be slightly invisible past 20 feet away now. It was always used from its inception as a combative tool and trying to navigate it away from that maked it just redundant and not worth using 90% of the time(not to mention it gets countered easily when one of the 22415s is in dimension because they can just snitch)
 
Suggestion Denied


Hi @Beer,

Thanks for taking the time to make a server suggestion.

The Content Team has chosen to deny your suggestion due to the following reason(s):

We feel that the current price is fine as is, as reducing the price as a kneejerk reaction would devalue it further, possibly causing further imbalances to both purchases and value of the actual rift bridge from missions. This may be re-evaluated in future if it is found to be a detriment to MC&D or other factors.

Your suggestion will now be locked and marked as denied.​
