During many a ‘remove premium’ threads, one of the main alternatives suggest was Microtransctions for cosmetics and that is what we are getting.
It is arguable that given that ‘feedback’, EA/DICE were ‘justified’ in going down this route.
The main problem is, the ‘community’ can’t decide what it wants but complains when it gets it.
Ongoing content has to be fiscally viable for EA/DICE through either Premium or Microtransctions, we are getting the latter but there are now threads and post such as this that are stating that the ‘community’ shouldn’t buy Boins till ‘they fix the game’ and one of those ‘fixes’ is more content!
cant believe it. months since release and no interesting cosmetics introduced, new update and the only good skins are only available for Boins. good job devs.
Screwing the playerbase, the only thing you can do.
I’m so buying boins and will enjoy making that purchase much much more knowing that I will not only be supporting a game I really enjoy but also the fact that alot of people will get uber salty with me. It is like a win win situation. Since people complain no matter if dice and ea try to implement anything the community wants.
– The netcode is broke…
Well it would also help if more people got on the game servers and try to enjoy the game instead of being xXMegaKill420Xx who pwns da n00bs 24/7.
– Matchmaking is broke…
Read above response.
– TTK is too fast…
Yup but this was because alot of people complained about bf1 bullet sponge gunplay. It is also because of TTD that makes it feel like it is fast but it will take some time to get it working since it is alot of variables to account for what is causing the TTD issues.
– I hate Firestorm and it doesnt belong in battlefield…
So telling the developers who created the franchise what belongs in it simply because you dont like it makes it not belong righhht. It is like going grocery shopping and some stranger walks up and tells you what belongs in your cart simply because they dont like it.
– We need premium pass back because we want guarenteed content release…
It seems like that it wasnt that long ago that people complained and wanted premium pass removed…Oh waitit wasnt that long ago. They gave people what they asked for and now are getting roasted over it. I was taught as a kid that this behavior is called being ungrateful and it will lead to nobody caring about what you want if you act this way.
– This game is completely unplayable and broken…
Well I have put over 250 hours in my game so far and mine still works. Maybe you need to try the old Nintendo trick. Oh I guess it isnt broken but just have bugs that dice is working to address. Just because they are AAA doesnt mean that bugs shouldnt exist. I mean Intel, Microsoft, Google and Facebook have wayyyy more money and resources but still can not account for every possible bug so unless you are a software engineer or game developer you cant say that they shouldnt have bugs because I highly doubt they are purposely put in just to fix them.
Now please dont take this post as me being upset because in all honestly I am in a really great mood but since being toxic seems to be more understandable to some I figure maybe this will answer the most frequent cry…i mean complaints.
Enjoy yourselves oit on the battlefield and hope to see you out there in your epic skins
Well it’s YOUR money after all. But my money will stay with me. Let’s see if your honorable effort is going to bring us content. Because I doubt it will but you’re free to buy as many skins as you possibly can.
And i guess that are the same people who cried before that the premium pass divided the " Community " and 15 Euros for four maps is too much. But now are willing to buy one cosmetic outfits for 5-8 Euros. Each…
Well they had to. The shop was supposed to release in November or December, which means only basic stuff to get with CC. Then the CC bug happened and that meant noone sank their currency into anything for four months, until they fixed it. Player retention is poor and just now players are coming back with Firestorm. So we have people that differ greatly in terms of CC earned. You can only balance that again, by increasing prices and making CC accrual easy, as it is now, and to make a lot of things, at first, premium currency only, so people use their CC up first and DICE can maximize their profits.
It’s really hard to just enjoy the game when you’re getting single framed and none of your hits land, even on stationary targets.
I just had a game where I was 10:3 when suddenly I couldn’t land hits. Even people stationary looking away from me would tank a mag before someone else killed me. I ended the round 11:14. Really hard to have fun then.
As for match making, how do you “have fun” outnumbered 32:20
“Well they had to.” no they wanted to. they deliberatly chose to put decent cosmetics behind a paywall and left the garbage, plain reskins available for CC. it’s not about unbalance between the playerbase earnings. the problem for me is what i can grab with CC, and thats just reskins, do you want some cool original stuff (which by the way was teased in tthe trailers last year, see grass on guns.)? Open your wallet and spread your butt. that’s disgusting.
oh and where are the cosmetics that we saw in the alpha? that pilott mask ttank stuff?? will those be released later? maybe as elite so you’ll be able to get those only with boins? mh i would not be surprised.
There is no way to tell if those “premium only” things will be available through CC purchase later at some point. While I think it’s fair to make those “Elite” characters premium only, everything else should be free to buy with in-game currency. Because let’s be honest here, some random weapon skin is not worth $10.
righhht. It is like going grocery shopping and some stranger walks up and tells you what belongs in your cart simply because they dont like it.
it wasnt that long ago. They gave people what they asked for and now are getting roasted over it. I was taught as a kid that this behavior is called being ungrateful and it will lead to nobody caring about what you want if you act this way.
