I added a way to buy some powers on p3d
Why not make a bit of money from your hard work huh?
But I don't want to break the game
and some things, I would never let people buy (like force push, mod etc)

(yes I used to sell mod back in the day in 2012 lol)

But now I want to keep P3D nicely balanced
but offer a little extra fun for someone who pays or is lucky enough to earn power from the good or bad side

The health power that costs $19 is...
+30db health is equal to Iron Armor health boost

so I wouldn't say it gives much an advantage

Say someone with standard 20db health bought it, they'd have 50db health overall

A lot of P3D's active players already have 100db

Combine smokeless flames with the health addon (which would cost a lot, so I doubt anyone will do it)
that would give +50db overall, which is the most you can achieve paid and it'd cost quite a bit

So I think its far from P2W

You can trust me, I love the game (sounds cliche, but its true) more than a bit of pocket money
and I don't actually need the money but its nice to get some extra, yk
(just incase you think Im desperate lol)

I would say it's not that bad but then you basically nerfed everyone else who had OP HP. I'd make an xeval that allows some people to break the limit. Create and the fact the game is FLOODED with OP sabers that are just reskins is one of the reasons I did not appreciate selling things on P3D. There were only 3 saber colors in 2017, then there was the crossguard. Once you added create everyone had a saber.

Just saying instead of making powers paid for how about you add a Gold Coin instead of Gold Nuggets as currency, then you can buy powers with gold coins by staying online, then you have an option to buy gold like you always have. It really makes the economy a lot better that way.

It's not pay to win unless you add make your own weapon and a weapon buff for sale. Then I can claim that you pay to make your weapons stronger.

sorry im just gonna be real and say that if you are selling stuff that provides any sort of power and if that helps someone be better at the game in any way then it would be considered pay to win. I think the cosmetics are pretty cool to sell. I think you can do more in that direction to make money. Like selling certain shades of colors for your penguin or different color glowing eyes. Or special items of clothing.
