Temporary items with enough time left become permanent?

sandwichROAR

What if a temporary item could become permanent if it has over a certain amount of time, like 250 days to a year before it expires? It would probably bring in a lot of revenue for Z8, too. People might buy a temporary coupon item 3 times to get enough days, or spend ~50k ZP on a temporary gun that they want unlimited use of (I personally would love to have the Dual Uzi's, but the chance of getting permanent items from crates is usually too tempting to pass up). Not to mention people would be more inclined to buy temporary items such as hats or sprays if they could get it for keeps. Other temporary items such as ZP grenades or mutation characters would also probably be purchased more if they could be extended to permanent use. From a programming standpoint, it could be checked/updated at the same time that the game checks weapon requirements for ribbons. Thoughts?

They make more on crates.

They make even more on deposits.

I guess this happened in Combat Arms. If you had a weapon for 10 years it became permanent. But it was a glitch and they fixed it. Then everyone who spent the money to perm-ify their weapons got screwed in the end. lol

This is a good thing, you have to buy a lot of ZP anyway to get a temp weapom out of crates for more than 250 - 365 days. Sounds nice.

I like the base idea for it, but a single change would make it a lot more likely to come, even though nothing will make it so it actually happens.

Make it so if you have the weapon/item for 365 days or more, you can spend 5K ZP to increase it to a permanent weapon. Next to the repair button it would show a "Status" button instead of sell when it's temporary. Clicking it will give you a pop-up window like when you click sell. It'll have a box checked saying, "Permanent Improvement - 5,000 ZP". Clicking buy increases the weapon for permanent usage. You can't sell the weapon afterwards, the status button disappears and leaves it like a BM weapon, only the repair button.
