I don't know why anyone would get pissed over F2P option that's every game anymore. Not like they are getting full access for free either they will be pretty limited.
there's a couple of remarks and suggestions about f2p. f2p means low treshold for just about any scrub who can download the game and start bullshitting. there better be some system in place that either heavily and quickly moderates, or prevents common access to crucial campaign battles. f2p will NOT be just orks, its all factions as far as i understood it. so for those who sipped too much koolaid and wanna pretend nothing's going on; its a pretty significant step to go from b2p to f2p (even if its more limited for f2p players) and it means the game isnt where it should be in terms of success. I dont care what spin fanboys or devs would give to it, if a game is good, people will buy it, and you dont need to resort to f2p. Since f2p will be implemented, lets hope they have thought it through properly. (i remain unconvinced based on earlier results) I'd argue that they make damn sure that f2p is as fleshed out as possible to avoid any pay 2 win QQ, keep in mind, right now clans roflstomp pugs as it is, imagine f2p players coming in to experience that, its very easy to jump to the wrong conclusions. So I'd like to see something like this: f2p have access to ALL classes, but can only level 1 or 2 chars, the rest are preset. The chars open for them should be the classes needed most for teamplay, so let's say healer class and tactical. Classes like havoc and raptor are preset or perhaps not available at all. Im trying to imagine a group of friends who download the f2p game and wanna team up, so a healer class and a tactical (which are fully upgradable just like the b2p players have em) gets them set up nice enough. The more potential disrupting classes like havocs with supressioneffects, plasmaguns etc, those things that are vulnerable for trolling/griefing behaviour are off limits.
The "confirmed leak" details are: You are limited on ranking up to Rank X. But you still earn XP that you can cash in if you make whatever necessary "Rank Unlocker" purchase in whatever form that will be. JPA/hawks are restricted unless you buy for 20,000 RTC. (I think that was the amount) All this subject to change of course since it's not even officially announced yet. Additional restrictions have yet to be revealed. Or anything else really. We might expect an Advancement tree overhaul based on redesigning for restricted Ranks. Getting all the XP you earned even when capped is fairly generous and gives the free-play more of a trial-then-buy feeling. I'm sure this is exactly what they were going for. This design would also seem to deter making multiple free accounts, a very good thing for everyone.
In before the in-game spam of "buy RTC cheap, 10% free, BABA JI". Think we'll ever be popular enough to get that?
Well? No. Good enough to lag around, drive you off cliffs, and report you unless you send them money? Yes.
