You could go on ranting all you want but the fact of the matter still stands, paid dlc models done right outright destroy free dlc models. I will take battlefield 1 premium over any free dlc game period, anyone who believes that dlcs can be put out at the same rate and with the same quality as bf premium with a free dlc model is completely delusional.
I agree, content shouldn't be held from release and added as dlc, which many games don't do, and if they do I usually avoid them. Battlefield has never done that and always had great dlcs that are reasonably priced, 15 dollars for all those maps, weapons, vehicles, elite kits, and game modes, yes please.
You can cry "muh community split!" All you want, but battlefield 1's dlc servers are the most active, and on top of the fact that they were selling the premium pass for $15 multiple times. I'm sorry, but even after all the games that have fallen flat on their face with free dlc, the people that still believe that it's a good idea are bonkers. I'm suppose to throw out a proven quality and timely dlc model simply based off of like one game like overwatch that is solely powered by blizzard fanboys buying an enormous amount of mtx.
Whether you like it or not, publishers and devs will be throwing out half finished games regardless, the moment they could update a game it was set in stone. Yeah I get that people would be pretty mad if a game deliberately held out on content for the sake of selling it to players as a dlc, maybe that was the case with the first battlefront, but I don't know I avoided it because of how stale the gameplay felt.
You want to really know what will really cause an uproar? This game getting very very lackluster dlc due to it's great free dlc model, or EA just straight up cutting support and deciding that it's not worth it for them to continue paying for content for this once great game turned into a disappointing shell of a Star Wars game due to people with hive mentalities.
As for the whole progression system schtick, I'm just going to avoid that one for now. I know how "passionate" people like you are about that issue and how much you like to lead your arguments with "feelings" instead of logic. So please don't come at me saying I'm apart of the "problem" when you know nothing about me or the actual problem at hand.
Plain and simple: No
That's why I'm sad right now bc it's just broken promises.
They could do something similar to R6 Siege, an annual pass to support it, where you get new heroes, skills and some exclusive skins.
Only thing that would be free would be the maps to not separate the players.
Example:
New maps for GA is introduced. People who don't buy the DLC can play the new maps, but they can't select it (if we get a map selection option), and they can't use anything that wasn't included in their originally purchased content. So, no new Heroes, vehicles, abilities, and so on. They'd still be able to use the regular troopers, environmental usables like MTT, etc.
Tarkin
Count Dooku
General Veers
OOM-9
Thrawn
HK-47
Admiral Piett
Then sure
If not then NO!!
Some other people might want to pay for dlc because they think it will improve the game. I doubt that though. Why is someone a "self-entitled brat," if they are asking for their favorite content to be added? There are a few people on here that say things that make them sound entitled, but they just want more from the game that they enjoy using. I do not think that is wrong.
Yet it seems more and more likely that we are never going to see most of it because of a poor business model.
That's hard to accept.
So either donation fund for dlcs or something patreon
Because loot box funding got illegal
So game is long term profit loss,
Can’t make content for free, Dice works on EAs time, and time is money- so ...EA had no time for an unprofitable deal
Ea gives money
Dice turn money into content
Content becomes DLC and is sent to Battlefront 2 players.
MTXs fund EA...mtxs are illegal now
Disney notably angry at EA
I personally had no issues with the Battlefront 2015 DLC and the cost.
The Star Wars galaxy is like any other galaxy. New planets and locales can be dreamed up by artists and developers. We don't have to use places we have already scene. Come up with new characters and stories. They did this with Star Wars The Old Republic and Bioware. That's what EA/Dice need a good story writers on staff even with a multiplayer game.
I don't think they can do that. At the beginning they advertised all FREE dlc at launch. Charging later can have legal implications.
EA said there was 'none planned at this time' back during the beta or reveal..
Pirate of the Knights of Gareth
Seems like brain damage since the Loot boxes went away.....I'm out
Ooooooooooooo.....K.
I hear this a lot.
Yet on PS4 Battlefront 2015 I can still find an Outer Rim match, 2 years later.
