Nah. Some of us don't care about loot boxes and just play the game for fun. Shocking I know.
Yeah a bit harsh and selfish, but I'm sure I'm not alone. I just don't support their preying upon consumers in such a condescending way.
This the dumbest and most ridiculous statement/idea I've seen on ERA so far. Congratulations.
Does anyone have a listing of how much HP the various Heroes and Classes have?
I keep seeing these Star Cards that say "Regenerate xx amount of health every time you kill an enemy", but it's difficult to know the value of those cards when I don't have any idea how much health the player characters have.
Between Dark Lord, Fueling the Rage, and Furious Resistance......Vader is going to shred through the Arcade Hard Modes.

Then have a discussion about it. I'm curious as to why you actually think this and what your understanding of their business model on this game is.
I'm not following this logic. You want to protect the consumers by banning them from talking about the game?
Nah. I don't even enjoy playing as heroes that much, I like regular classes.
I sure don't like the crystals but I don't mind buying the heroes now that you get money based on your performance.
So if I feel angered by their practices, I'm not allowed to voice my protest? Similar to a shitbag Hollywood star getting an OT after a recent scandal, I'm sure it'd be reasonable to expect a few objections.
But yes, I realize it isn't practical or fair to the people who will play it.
You are allowed to voice your protests, and there are 200 threads up about lootboxes that will allow you to do just that.
Ha, I was gonna say "I'll stick to the other threads"
It was just a knee-jerk thought that came to my head when I saw the OT after reading the other ones.
Few more minutes till it releases here, very excited! What is the first thing you guys are jumping in to? I'll probably go with the campaign first, really liked the first missions.

Our review is up. I suspect it'll be a little higher than most, but we still felt that the core multiplayer stood above all the current issues.

That is kind of short, but remember we get extra story content in december (don't know how long that will be).
"During my review, finishing the campaign rewarded me with a loot crate containing 20,000 credits. That number is now 5,000 credits."
Ive finished the campaign today too lol
Started playing at 5pm my time with Mission 4, finished it at 8pm. And it really felt pointless. Really wasnt fun at all. Beautiful to look at but very bad story and boring gameplay sections.
You realize this is exactly how they anticipated people would react and was the plan all along to minimize potential negative sentiment for their intrusive monetization and measly reward systems right? People keep falling for this and its just going to perpetuate the already rapidly accelerating race to the lowest common denominator of in game purchase systems. Here I was hoping to see gamers stop playing right into their hands and finally take a stand. Oh well there's always next year's inevitably worse implemented shoot bang release.
in a 4-5 hr game, how much you think is gonna be added in one patch? It most likely will be one mission
So, as someone who just found out about this game... Seems like they will end up revamping their MP reward systems down the line due to all the outrage. Is it worth buying now with Amazon's discount to ~$50? Think this game will go on a better sale within the next 2-3 months?
That's refreshing to hear after all this noise. All I want is a Star Wars "movie".
I'm too sleepy to jump into the game now, but I will play the campaign tomorrow.
Ok come on.... There were no "significant changes" after the beta. There is no precedent for them changing things in the right way. Things are still quite messed up. Until I see the progression system further tweaked passed simply lowering the cost of heroes, I think it's safe to say we aren't out of this yet. Merely lowering the cost of top heroes was a small, immediate step for them to be able to say "we made changes! Look!" And it's great that they made one change already. But we need more.
They have spoken about tweaking the progression system further, and until that is done there is no "well there you have it" moment.

I added the Review Thread to the OP. Someone @ me when the PC Performance and DigitalFoundry threads go up.
...more credits available in 14 hours? They have a daily credit max? For fuck's sake. Just let people play the game and get what they earn.

I think that's bonus credits earned in offline Arcade mode only.
These factors are core to the game experience, progression is, by definition, a huge part of the game.
there needs to be progression in a MP game...that's the real core experience...you can't unlock everything for everybody on Day 1...you need to work towards unlocking things you want
The problem is that you can, by paying.
If there were no microtransactions, nobody would be complaining.
