"Ultimate Houndmaster" (Cosmetic) Is Severely Overpriced.

This cosmetic is rated as Ultra Rare however it ultimately falls flat compared to other Ultra Rare skins and is generally not worth the money. Costing 1755 Auric Cells, it costs 20 USD to purchase this skin, it also breaks the price standardization that BHVR said they were doing awhile back since it is more expensive than other Ultra Rare cosmetics.

Naughty Bear costs 1484 Auric Cells, or 15 USD. Naught Bear was the first skin to ever get a unique Mori animation and was even given a specific quality tied to the Mori Animation to show this off (the blood at the edge of the cosmetic portrait). They also feature unique voicelines and voicelines in the lobby.

Ultimate Houndmaster, which is more expensive, is just a linked skin that is more expensive. Yes the dog has a new visual change and it is the first time we have gotten a Killer power cosmetic, but it has no new Mori animation (despite having that quality for the portrait showing that it does), no new voicelines, and the same animations for general gameplay.

Furthermore, you cant even use the dog cosmetic separately from the rest of the character, meaning that if you like the dog but the skin, you are forced to use the skin, or if you like the skin but hate the dog, you are forced to use the dog. It's not it's own separate option.

And with all of these issues, not even accounting for how buggy and glitchy Houndmaster is on release, the skin costs MORE than other Ultra Rare skins? It is generally not worth it, and I dont see many people (outside of content creators or people with a large amount of disposable income) buying this since the other options for Ultra Rare give so much more for cheaper.

Please decrease the price or update this cosmetic to make it more worth the money;

~ You can try to include unique voicelines that only show up on the skin and add a unique Mori. The skin will be well worth the price with these additions.

~ Or you can decrease the overall price to make it more in line with other cosmetics. Currently, you are paying for less, so it should at least be at the standard Ultra Rare pricing.

    The price for visceral was already made inconsistent when they released Were-Elk for huntress. They then claimed Naughty Bear's price is lower as an "early purchase bonus" or something like that.

    This cosmetic for houndmaster is disappointing and below expectations that were set by the calender image.

    And it's defeated the point of the visceral tag now. Whats the point of making a tag that can mean 2 different things, what are they going to do if they want to make a skin that has a customised power and a unique mori?

    As well as that it's a legendary cosmetic when they've said before that legendaries are supposed to be for transforming into licensed characters although that was already made inconsistent with AOT cosmetics

    It will go on sale at some point

    first buy cosmetics are for people who have the money to splurge or when you see something you just GOTTA OWN.
