I’m one of those who complained about Premium and I stand by it. I NEVER felt like I got my money’s worth from any DLC from Road to Rome and Secret Weapons till BF1 and I’ve gotten them all.
Mostly the content of such DLCs was OK but I never got to play the maps anywhere near as much as Vanilla. So you end up paying the exact same price for the DLCs, which were basically map packs with some weapons and playing said maps about 1/5th as often as Vanilla.
Little trite I know but if you only get a 25% return on a 100% reinvestment it seems like you’re subsidizing Vanilla for others. I liked the BF1 method of dropping the new maps for others but it seemed (IMHO) to take too long for that to happen.
You’re right the removal of certain customization options since Dice made that public statement about “toning it down” before launch.
A little flawed there in your logic about EA’s apprehension towards content for half the price, then follow it up with how the game did just that, drop to 50% a week later. What would have stopped them from selling Premium for just as cheap, or even cheaper around the same time period? Would that have degraded the content if they did?
As far as I can tell, it’s difficult to call Live Service a complete failure since it really hasn’t launched yet. If micro-transactions is dependent on the survivability of this title, guess what, micro-transactions hasn’t even been implemented yet.
I’ll keep beating the same drum about how the game is incomplete, and should have been delayed much longer than a month. This content drought is just fallout to that. We’ll have to wait and see after Firestorm and the new roadmap shapes up to fully gauge how much of a failure the Live Service truly is.
And for players who didnt buy premium then you will have little to moan about if the live service provides little extra content. Even if you get one more map and 1 more gun over the (completed- bfv is far from it) base game, you have got more than you paid for. However for those players who were happy to have bought Premium for that extra content (usually roughly another games worth of maps/guns and support etc for less than the price of a full new game) then they are going to be disappointed in the lack of extra content to keep the game fresh that they usually get - though obviously paid for.
Hammered it down right there man. As someone who has been with BF for a while im disappointed in the amount of content given as compared to the past the content given to premium players
It really depends on how much you play the game. Every Battlefield game since Bad Company 2 Ive logged more than 1k hours of game time and to me I get my moneys worth as I am playing ALOT, but for others who don’t play anywhere near as much I can understand.
I just want the ability to customize my emblem for the clan and all the other people should have this option. Its been an option for soo long on other bf’s why change it?
Ya, i was very underwhelmed at the level of customization available in game, considering this is supposed to be from AAA DEV’s in a game they have basically had many years prior experience in developing ( read: game is pretty similar to its predecessors- same engine etc) Especially since, you know its like 2019 now.
I was expecting real upgrades, not just a drop down list that you select from.
The paint schemes seem very weak in application. I cannot stand how ‘thin’ the predator camo looks for example. Not to mention that there really aren’t that many to choose from, or the fact that some are locked to one type. ie gold camo locked to iron type sight, can’t apply it to 3x scope.
I am speaking of the body customization, which they removed from the release, it says in the customization (Camo, Body) and the body is yet there, and no news about it since the pre-release…
Cosmetics is for girls :lol: so I won´t be spending my money on microtansactions but more maps, vehicle and weapons I would spend full price as the game suppose to be
