Making past portraits and titles farmable/purchasable

I liked some old portraits like the mando one.
How about making them purchasable in crystals for those who missed them and want to get them like me.

Maybe 1000 crystals for those previously easy to get and 5000-10000 for those difficult so that those who spend some effort getting them will not feel it is too unfair.

    Don't think CG has any intention of acquiring portraits other than feats or achivements

    Which is fine, since they tend to re-run the GAC seasons so that everyone has opportunities to acquire that portrait later on
  • While personally, I have no objection to this, because it’s just cosmetics, I can see why people would be upset. I don’t think it’ll happen. Anyway, that season will get rerun eventually. On that topic, I personally would like a “timeline” so we can see which GACs will have which themes in the future, but that’s for another thread, another time.
  • I would highly dislike it if those portraits and titles became buyable through money or crystals. They belong to the few things in the games you can really only get by playing the game, not buying anything instantly. Therefore they are meant to show the own progress. I love the fact that GAC feats re-run in the meantime, because I always found it unfair to newer players if they never get the chance to catch up on the older feats. But feats must be played to get them.
  • Spending money= not playing the game? Joke is on you.

    My friend, if you buy a portrait, then you haven't played the game to get it.

    Using that logic, anyone that does play the game has every portrait.

    No

    Get over the butt hurt from people funding the game and keeping it alive. Get mad at yourself for earning so little instead, LOL. HOPE that should motivates you to earn more.

    That's not how logic works

    No

    Exactly my point.

    Your logic is flawed. Playing the game doesn't guarantee anything. I've been playing the game since late 2017 and there are still various portraits I'm missing, even though I'm playing the game.

    That's not what I said though.

    Buying a portrait does not mean you played an event or finished an achievement to get it.

    Portraits and titles are earned by reaching goals, achieving tasks in GAC, and other various ways. Buying them just defeats the purpose of working towards it.
    I've found this whole experience to be very enlightening.

    Thank you for evaluating. Your feedback is appreciated.
  • I started playing in may 2021, no way i can turn back time to login, so i suggest CG to sell it.

    There is no way to play past events so sdfu saying awww lets play them and get it.

    There are others who might miss feats as well and there is no way to turn back time like i said

    This. And with the fact that they are nothing other than "markers" of what has been accomplished, I dont see them making them available in other ways.
  • My .02 is that specific titles and portraits achieved by completing something in-game should be earned through playing the game and completing that feat/event/etc.

    If there's a particular title or portrait you can't get bc the event or pathway to achieve it has been removed from the game or hasn't been re-ran in ages, then please lmk and I can reach out to the devs to ask if they plan on running that event again.

    I had not considered this. Move along.
