In an AMA they had recently Mr. Varnell stated that they’ve discussed a way for players to convert their in-game credits into Platinum

Hmm…so BB has the most expensive skins for being a game you have to pay for…plus there’s the season pass (which you can tack on to Division as well)…Not to keen into dumping my money into this. F2P games can get away with it because the base game is free xP

I like to imagine that one day they’ll have skins that are actually imaginitive and move away from these seasonal/holiday skins. The first batch was awful the second was generic and this third one is just as awful as the first because they seem to enjoy this dumb “halloween” theme. Skulls and undead palette swaps.

Admittedly there are some gems though like Shayne and Auroxs balloon animal skin or Pendles steel skin… skin.

To be fair, the dlc maps and characters are all free.

That’s cool beans. Halo 5 has all DLC free and gave out free stuff.
Was a full priced game and has micro-transactions.
No excuse for this game to be full priced, season pass AND micro-transactions D:<

I’d definitely buy the skin if it comes with new sound and maybe a change in the color of attacks.

For example, Orendi’s pillars could be a different color.BUT, not sure how this would work out with other characters like oscar mike…

You completely contradicted yourself. Very wise of you good sir.

Educate me my good sir.

All the season pass does is give you story content. All the multiplayer stuff and characters are free.

Halo 5 gave people free multiplayer content too but it also doesnt offer free Single Player content.

Food for thought.

Hes saying it shouldnt have a paid season pass is all. He didnt contradict himself.

Season pass gives more than just story DLC.

Yes, early access to characters and 5 hero keys.

However those characters are free and just require patience to unlock without the hero keys. Getting them is really just a perk.

There is also skin and taunts only available through the season pass

Is that confirmed? I had read it that season pass gave you access to the DLC and the DLC had unique skins/taunts.

I think GBX needs to come up with a better structure for skin -prices and needs to define what makes a tier !

I’d definitely pay for them. Heck, I’ve already did it - I play only PVE mode, and when I preordered deluxe version it means I paid for all my content.

The bummer about the DLC PvE stuff is that it’s even shorter than the 8 missions in the game.

Well Sir,

I would be inclined to agree with you if those things were indeed free.

Those game modes, maps and characters were paid for when I purchased $60 game + $20 season pass. I guess I’m starting to feel like we should be grateful to GBX for providing something we already paid for.

I’m not debating whether or not they have a place in the game but having personally dropped $80 on the game not counting microtransactions I’m not getting any content for “free”

Oh yea, you should add Elder Scrolls Online to the list. Those are some of the most expensive cosmetic microtranactions I think I have ever seen.

I don’t know the pricing for that. If you want to post them in more-or-less the same fashion that I did, I will gladly post them.

Same for anyone else. If anyone would like something added to the list, I can make that happen.
