Clarification: Purchasable Items in Gotham City Impostors

[ThunderDragon]

Hello,

We’d like to dispel some of the confusion surrounding the announcement that some content in Gotham City Impostors will be available for purchase. There are two types of items available for purchase that we’ve detailed below:

Cosmetic Items:
Gotham City Impostors is all about options, customization, and kick-*** gameplay. To that end, we’ve given players the option to unlock cosmetic content, such as costumes and calling cards, through normal gameplay or through purchase. Again, the content available for purchase does not affect gameplay, it just affects the way a person visually expresses themselves and all of it can still be unlocked through regular gameplay at no additional cost.

XP Boosts:
Keeping Gotham City Impostors fun and balanced is our #1 objective, so when we designed XP consumables in the game we were very careful to ensure that they gave people cool options while not adversely affecting the game balance. The way our XP Boosts work is that they give an XP multiplier to a team or individual for a finite amount of time, so they will earn experience a bit faster than normal.

You may be thinking, “but won’t leveling up faster create imbalance?” Well, no. Gotham City Impostors is all about letting you play the game the way that you want to play it. As people level up, they earn custom slots and keys to unlock items (weapons, gadets, support items, etc) in which to fill their custom slots. The items in the game are not linked to levels, so, for example, you can use the first weapon unlock that you earn to unlock ANY weapon in the game. We’ve also taken great pains to ensure that the game is balanced so that a person using the pre-made loadouts will not be at a disadvantage against someone with everything unlocked. Leveling up won’t make you more powerful, it will just give you a lot more options and cool ways to approach combat. To ensure that the game stays fun, the team will also be aggressively monitoring the game by pulling data from servers and fighting alongside you in the live game so that we can make running balance adjustments.

We hope this helps to clarify how Gotham City Impostors is letting people play the game the way they want to play it, all while maintaining the balance and fun of the game. We look forward to battling it out on the streets of Gotham with you!

How much will the cosmetics be?.. is it like, per item, or is it like for $5 buy an outfit?

[GRAFFiK]

agreed. I dont like seeing people who look exactly like me and with a game like this there is so much room for customization.
