Cash shops???

I'm wondering that if this game got one of those cash shops that sell overpowered stuff. This kinda important because i'm sick of many mmo that does this. It just ruins the game's balance. I got quite a high expectation for this game, so yeah.

it's a double-edged sword, honestly.

Cash items do tend to do more min-maxing, but on the flip side they drive up the cost of your mech like crazy.

They do have a cash shop, but unlike other MMOs they do allow monthly conversion of UC(free money) to RT(paid fundage) you can buy up[ to 50 RT per month, which is enough for at least one roll a month or 5 rolls every 4 months. Pretty good considering what most MMOs that are cash shop based do. Also, the Garapon based Mecha/Fem Bots are not all that much better than the UC ones except in the case of Limited Editions. The Garapon bots do have an edge over a lot of things, except maybe the most rare of rare Quest bots. . .

Note: I've heard that the UC->RT conversion may require us winning the monthly Heroes versus CyberStep can anyone confirm or debunk this?

Yes it requires. Also, prices might change in EN version, so no numbers for UC > Rt and garapon.

Hmmm, true, I think it may stay 1 Garapon roll per month as long as we win though. . .

Aren't Garapon rolls twenty RT though?
I mean, it shouldn't be too difficult to gather enough for two rolls if the max limit is fifty a month.

in CBJP they're 50 RT which is how much you can get per month so long as we win the battles versus Cyberstep. . .

There will always broken weapons/bots on RT Garapon.... you just have to be either rich or lucky enough to get them. The bots are fine, but it's usually the parts that's incorporated with them that is rather overpowered (against) some units....

but other than that, with some decent UC Gear, and some prized RT stuff that you buy, you can counter most of them. just stay freaking far away.

It also helps when Ivis or the other "broken" bots/builds aren't one of 1000 of them that are out there like in the 1st and 2nd Open Beta tests. Too many of them existing on the circuit at once is the issue, not one or two of them being around to deal with. . .

Locked parts prevent further abuse of parts on bots.

i.e. seraph LG with both booster slots unlocked.

to be honest im not really need that much bot... mostly mine commando only 2 Airs (Crim and Izuna ) and one either LND (ussualy Byned-Shino) or Art (Breaker geared Lily or Sagitaris)

rest of em? in mah garage as parts

If Seraph's lg's could be unlocked...
All hell would break lose.

ah, that explains it. . .

Hence the whole term balancing.
Without it,
We'd be in chaos,
And not realize it.

we are in chaos already i think... the good news, leader of chaos army k-ogre seems havent realised that yet...

anyway... if crim LG not lock the BS... ppl gonna start using crim LG with 2 Izuna BS, and that gonna about 8 fly

Or throw them on an Aquilla and pile on 3 Shaden boosters. The horror!

Rt bot got edge over UC bot but remember their cost aren't pretty.
some bot cost higher than 2k which mean 2 or 3 UC bot can be counter part.

man, you guys only think about special sub weapons. What if you attach Gwyain BSs instead, eh? Nice +2 TEC -1 TLK +3 FLY +1 TGH boost right there.

Do anyone know the conversion of $$$ -> RT ?
