I might purchase a skin if Boins were removed entirely. I really hate these digital currency schemes of having you pay more than what the item actually cost. 750 Boins for an epic skin but I can only buy incriminates of 500, which leaves you with 250 Boins. Can you purchase anything with 250? Nope. Guess you’ll have to purchase more Boins so that 250 doesn’t go to waste.
Screw that.
I got a little chuckle from noticing “most popular” sticky right above the $9.99 option.
I honestly thought ELITE skins would’ve been purchasable only with boins, and I am okay with that, but EPIC skins are also BOIN only. That sucks. Anyways I don’t care cause I got most of the epic skins for free.
Possibly, but not for at least a few months I’d guess unless they change the system, and I wouldn’t count on it either because there’s no confirmation of that.
It’s a bit ambiguous but the goal was to show that you could only unlock cosmetics with real coins. It doesn’t exactly say it’s either/or for “all” items so you can’t really just assume either. But yeah it could be taken the wrong way.
On the picture taht they have revealed before the launch you can see that you can buy cosmetic 2 way Boins and CC but there is no specification “for Boins only cosmetic”, the picture is saying you can play or pay for unlock the SAME cosmetics, not pay for exclusive unlock.
They have lied to us … again …
It’s not the end of the world, they are just skins. But it’s more that by not allowing the players to earn or spend CC on at least elite items there’s just one more reason for players to walk away from BFV, the grind to earn things can be addictive and make a person stick it out with a game that can be extremely frustrating and broken at times.
This isn’t F2P where this would obviously be expected. a fan base paid full price to beta test their game for them so it’s yet another insult, particularly if you paid for deluxe and had the absolute misfortune of laying eyes on the Red Devil skin.
Cosmetics are paying for the tides of war so I hope this is repaid to the community in the form of maps, guns etc. Because at the moment for paying that full price, staying loyal to the game throughout the bugs, glitches, crashes and all the rest of the ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ups has been what? Panzerstorm?!
It’s just another crap decision by EA/Dice in what is steadily becoming the norm for them. I only started Battlefield last year so perhaps everyone else is used to it now, but I’m slightly shocked at how badly Dice treats their player base.
We paid more for some crappy looking skins for 2 guns and 2 pistols whoopee. You forgot to mention that the game technically isn’t even fully finished as they have yet to add the tank body customization that was supposed to come out several months ago.
