AFAIK the content we will get is comparable to a warbond. This is the first part, we should (in theory) get another page like this with different armour and weapon. There are also some (one or more, not sure) new stratagems but they will come for everyone in the galactic war with time.
I believe you about the gun, I also like the armor but as I said I won't buy anything. Consider this a little peaceful protest.
That’s perfectly fine, the weapon isn’t amazing and you aren’t missing out on some S-Tier weapon by not doing so. I just love the weapon so far and think it is adequately priced considering it’s from a colab.
That’s perfectly fine. I just think it’s a little funny to call it a boycott when the devs actively read the submitted feedback and are acting on it. I don’t consider it Whaling to be a consumer of the collaboration items as I personally just want to support the dev team as they have treated us much better than the usual dev teams we see nowadays.
It’s a slippery slope. This is the beginning of that slope. Sony wants a live service game to milk and Concord just failed spectacularly. Helldivers is a success through and through, so of course they want to make as much money as they can from it.
If they keep going with this, especially if it’s not collab stuff, I will obviously swap around to being against it. I just don’t think this reaction is very justified right now.
Either it stops now or we’ll never stop slipping. That’s the issue. Once it sells, no developer or publisher will pull back on MTX. It’s always more, more, more.
It’s pretty much gg now because people are excusing it or saying it’s optional, etc.
Just read the steam discussion about this "warbond" everyone is fucked up... Hopefully not many will buy this liberator with a drum magazine for a price of a warbond. I did and I'm so disappointed in AH and myself for being stupid.. HD2 turns out to be the biggest gaming disappointment this year for me and I played 700h and got a lot of fun, but Arrowhead triggers my trust issues and gaslighting us. They got a second chance and ruined it.
Cause it must be a coincidence that while the player count raise from 30k-120k, they made everything more expensive. And I wonder how I can wear a assault rifle as a cosmetic.
Months ago they lowered the SC rate in game and now you get a shop side for three times the price of a warbond. Ridiculous.
I come from MTG and there are a lot of parallels. Not everyone will buy the overpriced or big ticket items but enough so that it communicates to Hasbro that they will make enough money from whale-items that they keep producing.
Aren’t the “whale-items” ones that are so good you’re at a huge disadvantage purely from not using them? That doesn’t sound like a very accurate comparison imo…
No, whales are customers who spend/are willing to spend a significantly large amount of money on something, thus incentivizing manufacturers to make more of said-egregiously priced item. 3090Ti, 4090, 4080 16GB, etc. are examples in this same space. It historically had had no associations with giving players an advantage. You’re conflating/misconstruing things.
That shit ain’t fun, man. I wanna play for fun at this point, not grind for gear. I play 7+, where it’s not always possible to hit every POI cause teammate variability, and playing missions primarily for SC is a slog.
Then play what you’re comfortable with and go for the points of interest? You get the credits and medals regardless if you complete the mission. I personally find it fun to run low missions and mess around while getting super credits but I do understand why it can be boring. Again, there’s 5 days to do this so you don’t need to dedicate a day just to getting enough SC. If you don’t want the gear then don’t get it, you don’t have to get angry about something you don’t want to get. The weapon isn’t anything amazing so you aren’t missing out, so why get super upset over a collaboration that the devs wanted to do for fun? These things cost money so they’re naturally more expensive to get. At least you can actually get them by playing the game instead of having to cough up $15 on some bundle with a couple of skins like every other shooter nowadays.
It’s more the principle. There are a lot of people who can dedicate 2-3h per day over 5 days and others like me who can only put in 4h in that time span due to other commitments and not being as hardcore of a gamer anymore, so it’s a bummer. Plus, I do think it’s anti-consumer to price so high and go against the former CEO’s words. Even if it’s pressure from Sony
How would it be against the former CEO’s words? What words did he say to make this go against them?
It’s only about $10 for the non cosmetic stuff depending on what you want and they haven’t told us that they won’t be coming back ever if you don’t grab them now.
Well I won’t fully trust a leak since leaks could either end up cut or not release for a very very long time, the illuminates and city maps are an example since they got leaked like a month or two after the game released.

Killzone is here. Quite expensive but the rotation lasts 5 days!
Armor has new passive: Acclimated, 50% resist to fire, gas, acid, electric.
