LOL, you dont even know anything about me Fran Tarkenon
I lost all my money in Star Wars Battlefront 1
That may be the case but like others have said, they could have cosmetic unlocks that are canon. Let Luke and Leia unlock their Hoth/ROTJ outfits, let Vader unlock his Anakin Skywalker look, and so on.
I hate the concept of MTX period, but if they were purely cosmetic I don't think we'd be seeing such an uproar about it.
"Listening to the consumer when they start playing the game, six months from now, and even six years from now, is very important for us," Jorgensen said at the Credit Suisse Technology, Media, and Telecom Conference, as reported by GamesIndustry.biz. "And I would say if we're not making some mistakes along the way and learning from them, that's when you should worry about us. But our view is these are great opportunities for us to continue to tune the game, to adjust these things."
"We pulled off on the MTX, because the real issue the consumer had was they felt it was a pay-to-win mechanic," he continued. "The reality is there are different types of players in games. Some people have more time than money, and some people have more money than time. You want to always balance those two."
""We're not giving up on the notion of MTX," he said. "We're learning and listening to the community in terms of how best to roll that out in the future, and there's more to come as we learn more. But I would say we're certainly not changing our strategy. "
I face palm every time this idiot opens up his yap.
I like how he can say, with a straight face, that the services for this game will be running in 6 years.
I agree. XP and even BP boosters would be really cool.
So at this point I’ve opened probably 20 or so 'Starfighter' crates.
I have gotten ZERO cards for either the bomber or fighter. Only 3 for Interceptor.
Thinking of just switching to selecting hero crates because the RNG is almost certainly (and intentionally) fubar.
I have had weird luck with "starfighter crates as well" I tend to get almost as many random hero or trooper upgrades out of them as I do actually starfighter stuff.
It's a crock of shit that you can't do cosmetics in Star Wars. There are plenty of cosmetic options. Granted these would require new art assets and not just recolouring a character but if they truly cared (they don't) they could create a pretty good argument for cosmetics that fit in canonically.
