My beloved players,
I just read this:
My biggest fear is, that a system like in CS:GO will be introduced. It is obvious that Valve is doing a lot of money with this, other Producers already hopped onto the “shiny skins” Hypetrain.
While I kind of like the system in CS:GO, I wouldn’t want to see it in BF1. Let’s not talk about realism here, but at least about authenticity.
Opinions?
BF4 has weapon skins… why would you think this would be anything different?
The CSGO Skin/weapons market is completely different. People pay over $400 for this stuff. It’s based on Keys as currency platform which you buy for roughly $2.20 per key at it’s base price. Players purchase Keys, pay the vendor in Keys for the item. The vendor can use those Keys on the Steam Market.
I understand that, but there is a weird jump to a conclusion that was never mentioned in OP’s post
Why he concluded it is beyond me.
Apparently: “We got some awesome skins for weapons” == Skin marketplace microtransactions.
/shrug
bf3 had ok skins bf4 had modern skins that were ok for modern shooter but in ww1 to have pimp my pink mauser i wouldnt like that. If they make skins/camos of that time that would be ok…
I hope they do have microtransactions for soldier, weapon, and vehicle skins. I would pay for some Hot Rod Flames down the side of my Bi plane in a second!
What would really be cool, is if They used microtransactions to finance the development of the DLC’s like Blizzard is doing with Overwatch. EA makes money, so their happy, no season pass, so the players are happy, and the community never gets fragmented.
