I’ll take that as a “we’ll see.” First, it just says “epic cosmetics.” Which doesn’t rule out Boins only “legendary” or whatever tier coz.
Second, it once again says “epic cosmetics” and not all “epic cosmetics.” Leaving the same loophole which started this debate. You guys could just say “well the tweet only says epic cosmetics, not ALL epic cosmetics, no more no less.”
Third, it’s a tweet, from EA. Which to me carries little credibility.
And yet you are astounded that the flowchart is not accurate!
The only items that bfc will be required to purchase are the elite sets.
It was the same in siege too.
Exactly. People whined about premium so DICE got rid of it in favor of paid cosmetics and now people are whining about paid cosmetics. Something that has absolutely no impact on the game in any shape or form but people still complain.
So why put out misleading charts and statements? Of course mtx pays for new stuff, that’s the Dead Service model.
The answer: EA knows that tricking children is big business (see, e.g., Fortnite, Fifa).
It was announced pretty much the same time the game was.
There was nothing misleading in the charts. DICE always said there would be cosmetics that could only be obtained through real money.
I am? Please point out where I said that. I would never be even mildly surprised by EA lying. I’m defending the people who are new to EA, and thus don’t know yet that EA routinely lies. They were mislead by a misleading chart from a mendacious company. They (like you and I did at some point) will eventually learn the hard way.
Since nobody ever said that you can get every skin with CC. Looking at other games it’s totally normal but some people seem to be new to this…
P.S. I can get epic cosmetics with assignments so they’re telling the truth 
The chart might be misleading yes but it’s not a lie and I guess they asked their lawyers before releasing it.
But it is misleading, because it’s missing the “boins only” square. Of course you can weasel out of it by saying “well it doesn’t say ALL coz.”
Which is true. It also doesn’t say “some coz.” It’s ambiguous. They could have included the “boins only” square and… didn’t.
Well, since you noticed the scam, you’re not the intended audience. I doubt ages 8-12 notice, and their parents certainly aren’t going to venture into gaming world to figure it out.
I’d go so far that they could have given a little amount of BC to deluxe buyers, like Ubi does with season pass owners. Would be fair due to EA ripping off customers with the lack of any significant deluxe content.
Wait a minute, two currencies, again!?!
The pricing is absolutely ridiculous. For 49,95€ you get 6000 Boins. That’s enough to buy 8 Epic uniforms. Just eight! For a fifty. Even if you would get ALL the available and upcoming soldier uniforms, all the weapon and vehicle skins, I mean EVERYTHING, the price would still be waaay too high.
If they really thought that this is the way to finance the game, they have already failed miserably. They just overpriced themselves. Overpriced themselves out of the business.
Premium Model = One extra 50€ equals approx. 16 new maps, weapons, vehicles etc. Live Service Model = 8 soldier uniforms. 
They’re giving such little incentive for players to buy deluxe for the next title they release. But I was really surprised that they didn’t offer anything with the latest update.
I agree giving Deluxe buyers some bonus Boins would be a fair and right thing to do.
Without a doubt, these skins are probably not worth it but…
Through that revenue, the maps that could be produced may be a different story.
I don’t think that anyone in their right mind would or could argue that teh live service has been a success in ANY way, except to EA who charged premium prices for a game to many people and now don’t have to deliver any meaningful content going forwards.
The premium model was a guarantee to the consumer of content.
You can say that the quality will be bad, but all the BF DLC’s had really good maps worth playing. Out of 28 or so something maps, there are only 3 or 4 that I really don’t like much…
Haha I’ve just seen the epic skins, I was wrong the wall of Boin is fine, they’re all naff.
An STG with a couple of twigs stuck to it is what’s going to fund our new content? Hope everyone likes Panzerstorm
Nope. The community is clear on what it wants. A AAA title to be half decent. If the game had been good and the content had been flowing (say 5 or six maps by now as we could/should have REASONABLY expected following the patch of previous releases), then there would be less people upset that BOINS are in the game. Many here paid 80 Euros and more for this game,. and many posters here have played previous titles and EXPECT the content.
Its not that the community doesn’t know what it wants. We weren’t given a choice, and when you see BS like BOINS being developed when the core game is in such a mess, then it perfectly fair for consumers to be annoyed about the priorities.
Every time I load a game, I get a black screen and have to restart and it loads second time around. That is 6 months on and that sort of BS is still prevalent and yet we get BOINS and no new maps and bug fixes for the core game. Its simply not good enough.
