The new coats & LT discussion

[biker]

Yup...the masculine coats are 90 leaf tickets, the coat and skirt combos are 120 leaf tickets, and the adorable one pieces with bows are an insane 150 leaf tickets.

Actually I didn't realize that until you mentioned, the one-piece coats are 150? I'm pretty sure I payed 120..... Or am I crazy?

This is the same across the board. I was so excited to get so many leaf tickets because I wanted to, finally, get some good stuff from the cookies, I, also, bought leaf tickets when they were on the good special price. (Tried to buy again but they were sold out) I used, leaf tickets to purchase the five cookies and got two of one thing, two of another, and then one decent thing. I decided to use 50 more and got a third of the one item!!!! So now I see the coats and my skinflint hands won?t buy even though I think they are cute. I?m afraid to waste my tickets on more cookies. I have bought every cookie for bells and have spent countless leaf tickets and have only been able to get two scrapbook memories!!!!! Not a good ratio of wins.
So now I don?t know what is really worth the spending.
On another note, I constantly see items in other people?s cmapsites that I have NO idea where they came from. I?ve been playing since this first came out...

When I feel lost about it as well, I usually check the wikia about the items. I started playing it around February so I did lose some nice stuff as well.

There are two different feminine coats: one that consists of a short coat and a skirt, and one that’s just a long coat with a bow on the front. The short coats with skirts cost 120, and the long coats with bows cost 150.

Also coat doesn’t even look like a word anymore lmao

I checked that later and yeah you are right, the one piece coats are 150, I bought them just after release so I probably saw the price wrong.

I'm so rich that I don't even check the prices (lol jk)

I’m not really looking forward to these items.

I have 275 LTs. And I’m going to be saving them for the holiday terrain coming soon.

Kinda going back on what I said earlier - Tried it on and I sorta love my red coat now. Still totally think it's put at a ridiculous price, def not worth 150 tickets... but I do like it a lot now.

Gonna see what the white gothic rose items are like and if they're not anything I need I'll probably buy the pink one tbh.

I’m hoping the styling of the items are a bit different, so it adds more variety. I missed the Gothic Rose event. Dx

god, no. please dont bring politics into an animal crossing game... its just like how certain items cost more bells than others, but nobody complains about that. it's simply a game, so the solution is: if you want it, buy it, if you don't, don't buy it. nobody is forcing you to buy the coats. they're not even that cute imo, not really worth it, but that's just what i think

EDIT: on a somewhat related note, i think this is only the start. ACC is strating to get really, really LT heavy. im willing to bet one day items that cost bells will suddenly start costing leaf tickets. like only super basic, start of the game items will be obtainable with bells. i do wish nintendo wasn't going this direction, but what else can you expect from a free-to-start mobile game? unfortunately they're all like this.

Like most free to play games, they depend on in-app purchases. It costs money to keep an app running and constantly updating it as much as they do.

I'm a little sad they didn't add any craftable coats though because they should give us the option to do so if you ask me, those who like the game enough will buy the coat they want using real money even if they add a craftable version.

Overall, yes it is lame but most of us won't stop playing the game for that reason. We have to keep in mind that we will keep seeing more and more in-app purchases thrown in our face. We should also understand that this is a company and they need to make a profit somehow to continue the game, therefore I'm not mad I get it.

But if you're going to charge leaf tickets, those coats better have some type of animation coming with them!!

That's what I've been telling for a while, but people rather not believe ?\_(ツ)_/?

I personally just bought the green mod parka and like it a lot more than any of the feminine coats. Once again, I'm biased since it looks like Splatoon's Inkling Parka, but I like how it's not a dress like the feminine coats, so I can wear any skirt or pants with it. Usually the only dresses I wear in the game are the long ones.

I get it :T. I definitely agree that offering both bell-craftable items for events and the LT-craftable ones is a fairer way for those who can?t get LTs so easily. I would also like some special perk from LT clothes like you said, LOL! Goodness, make me fly around my camp with those magically expensive coats if you?re gonna try to charge me 150 LTs. ∧( 'Θ' )∧

*Glances at my 161 leaf tickets*

*Turns attention to sweet pink fur coat*

"You'd better hope that white gothic rose cookie sucks, because otherwise you're not getting a single ticket out of me"

Girl, I caved too. Bought me a Chesterfield coat and it’ll be what I wear pretty much all winter/spring. LOL

I want to cave sooo bad but I'm afraid I'll regret it. XD

I was afraid of caving, too. I finally had enough to buy one coat and went for the mod parka.. but honestly I don't regret it and I really hope I can save up more LTs to get the other color! But still, 90 LTs isn't 150, so I can understand your struggle. I do recommend waiting until the white gothic rose cookies come out, but then again, many people I see chose the red coat rather than the pink, so I think you'd stand out!

When it first came out I thought I just wanted it because it was "there" since I'm obsessive about collecting things. But I've seen it on a couple of my friends and I have determined that I can see myself wearing it quite often. If the white gothic rose cookie doesn't have super cute clothes then I'll buy it for sure.

Another thing that made me accept this "issue" more is that Pocket Camp doesn't spam us with ads like a lot of free-to-play games do. One reason may be that Nintendo is making it and not some third-party, obscure game developers, but if I have to fork over a few bucks to buy a coat, so be it. At least I'm not being told to play Game of War every three seconds.

The problem with the game is not that items cost leaf tickets. It's how little leaf tickets you get for your real life money.

I honestly think most players would have no problems pouring maybe 5 bucks a week into this game if it was 1 cent = 1 leaf ticket.

I honestly think the current model of cookies and other items would not be a problem if the leaf tickets were cheaper. This is not something that can be fixed now however. And all I hope is that this stupid game and it's practices are kept far, far way from the mainline franchise.
