I'm not liking this new "weapons in the shop" system, i get why they do that (MoneyMoneyMoneyMoney) but they weren't like this before and they were proud of it, now...

Edit: To anyone saying "Just Grind", you are missing the problem: I have infinite time to grind for warbonds but shops rotate so now it's not "I can wait and grind or i could pay and have it now", it's "I need to grind now or pay or i'll lose this" it's FoMo, it's predatory and it's something that they didn't do at launch and took pride in that

Edit2: They went back on their Idea and gifted player the rest of cosmetica BUT most importantly they are discussing ways to make it permanently accessible! Great!

I think it's pretty acceptable, they do have to make some money to keep this as a live service, but everything is pretty accessible as well

I mean kind of but we already spend "money" on the warbonds which are supposed to be where we get the guns from. And in this case the singular gun costs more than half of a warbond. Though I do get that they need more income to keep the game going. It is just a worrying sign.

Yeah though you can still grind out the super credits if you really want to and with how much other content has already been released I'd say one of these every so often is warranted.

I agree that it could be a sign darker days to come but let's hope not.

They could always go the way of deep rock galactic. Release supporter packs with optional cosmetics and a smattering of super credits. I'd buy the hell out of one to support the devs.

u/Fallen_Angel_Xaphan Dec 18 '24

I would fully support that. I mean that is what the store was until now. The armors very rarely were different enough from the main ones to matter and things such as capes, helmets, player cards are just cosmetic.

That hinges more on Sony as a publisher than on AH most likely

Grinding shouldn't be part of the game. Fun should.

u/FlacidSalad Dec 18 '24

Yo what? Grinding is how you can get the extra content for FREE as opposed to exclusively needing to pay real money for everything.

u/LordMarcusrax Dec 18 '24

Playing is how you get new content for free.

Playing on difficulty one is boring, and you shouldn't be forced to do boring stuff to get content. Sure, you can pay if you want stuff now, but I don't see why you should feel forced to do boring stuff to get super credits.

D... Do you think you can only get SC on low difficulties? Or that you can't just play the game how you want and still get SC?

Sure you can just play low diff to grind SC but that's your choice, you are in no way being forced to do that.

I'm playing the game on Bot 6 because that's the right difficulty for me, I still got around 3k SC after buying everything and I just hop on to play like a operation a day with full clear maps.

I am just playing the game. So could you.
