I can’t get my head around why people are contemplating buying these ‘Boins’ for cosmetics.
Have I even understood it right? You spend real money, to get in game money, to spend on something that just changes what your character wears…who you can’t even see in game.
This community, man.
Considering the fact that they told us back in September, I think it was, that a premium currency would be coming to the game, it’s not very surprising that a premium currency was indeed put into the game, you’re right.
Where is the shop exactly? I downloaded a patch and started the game, but could not find it. In any case, the boins come at an extremely late and awkward time and still in no full shape, which is a real issue for the game coming forth.
This at least feels like some movement with the game. I’m not exactly confident that players will be rushing to buy cosmetics, but we’ll see.
I didn’t pay full price for the game, but I’d agree that they need to throw a bone to the people who did. It might even kick start demand a little if the people who bought the deluxe edition got to pick an elite outfit.
The game was released as a full price game. It was not a discounted title. Its is therefore reasonable to expect a decent amount of content to be provided, irrespective of the in game revenue that EA then generate. The lack of new content after 5 months is appalling.
Is there any point? All the skins can be bought through play, and most of them are rubbish anyway, any player that has put any serious hours in to BFV will probably have over 100,000 in game currency already, with nothing to spend it on. Who do they think will be buying this stuff?
The chart just states that only cosmetic items can be bought with BOINs. It doesnt state which cosmetics though, and whether soem will be BOINs only. Personally i couldnt care less if some cosmetics are only able to be bought with real cash if it means more maps
Yeah saw this on Reddit, there is nothing there as good as Baron Von Zorn, Double Down, Dead Man’s Hand, Union Jacked, Retribution, Canis Horribilis or Veiled Threat
You see … that’s the problem. This community complained endlessly about buying maps, guns, vehicles and gadgets … so what made EA think that people would spend their money on cosmetics instead?
This game’s content delivery system was dependent on these ‘boins’ … which didn’t give me any confidence when I first heard about it, and I certainly don’t think it’s going to work now. If people whine about microtransactions in successful games like Rainbow Six Siege, Overwatch, Fortnite and even Warframe, why wouldn’t they complain about microtransactions on BFV of all things?
