It literally divides the player base each and every year and I’m forced to region hop as Australia simply does not have any running DLC servers.
Now that second assault is free all those servers are thriving and its not exactly fair for all those who bought premium and have had to wait YEARS to actually get a turn on those DLC maps.
there needs to be an alternative micro transactions and free maps otherwise were stuck with empty DLC servers and no reason to buy map packs at all
It’s not a really funny joke…but yeah, I also hate it, here in EU it wasn’t so much a problem to find Conquest DLC servers, but any other gamemode would be virtually non-existent, especially servers with DLC gamemodes like chainlink, CTF and air superiority.
This is just an idea off the top of my head, but what if the maps are free to all but if you wanted to have your experience/progress tracked while playing them you would have to buy them like usual? It’s better than not being able to play them, and those who want to support DICE still get to.
Also, paying for cosmetics/battle packs is always a route they can take.
What do you mean? This is something that is already done and seems to be happening anyway. I was just finishing by saying that it is a route they can take. It was not an endorsement.
They pretty much have the community over a barrel with this… I really like how they’re periodically giving away the DLC for free lately though. If they could use a different business model I would be over the moon, segregating the player base like this is a thing of the past.
I am getting so sick of this … Free DLC? NOT ENOUGH. Paid DLC? SHOULD BE IN THE BASE GAME. No DLC? NOT WORKING HARD ENOUGH. For Jesus christ’s sake people…Enough is enough!!! It’s not fair to the content creators if they work for weeks and months on DLC, they need some kind of reward (money from people buying the DLC). So saying that a game should have all DLC free when it comes out and from there-on, it an absolute load of RUBBISH…There is nothing wrong with the DLC model for the BF franchise…yes, it splits the players base because of the NEWS MAPS…yet people complain every time a new DLC comes out “Oh this is splitting the playerbase” when they were the ones asking for the damn DLC!!! Seriously, am I the only one who sees what is wrong with that? Consumers, grow the hell up and appreciate the people who slave for MONTHS to even give you the god damn content…don’t complain like a full grown Adult Toddler! It makes the community split and struggle for an absolutely ridiclous reason! The community it pretty much in tatters because of BF4’s launch and the BFH release but there is no reason for this to be happening already in BF1…The BETA isn’t even out yet, but we are already fighting amongst each other…wtf happened guys? DLC is a good thing, but the way some of the consumers are complaining about is is going to destroy it…that’s my opinion on this thing. Let me know what you guys think, and game the hell on everyone!
