No, cause as we all knew long ago, JPA's are OP, and this offer basically is P2W!!! Just kidding But im still curious why locking JPA behind a paywall?
This is unrealistic due to budget and extra work but ideally it should be like this: Space Marines F2P accounts get Imperial Guardsmen. When they reach max F2P rank they get tactical. (if not IG then make them scouts instead) Orks get Boyz with choppaz or shoota options. - Max rank gets Capping class. Eldar get Guardians - max rank unlocks Dire Avenger. Chaos gets Cultists. Max rank gets them Chaos Tactical. Maybe allow playable tyranids with F2P as Spinegaunt/termagant and max rank Hormagaunt. All free to play accounts should be able to experience ranged and melee loadouts as well as all tactical options eg AV etc accessed through weapon loadout. They also have shorter respawn timers and spawn in together in groups of 5.
Hmmm, that screenshot doesn't say what you think it says. It doesn't say that JPA and equivalents are the only locked classes. It says, and I quote, "New classes unlocked like: Jump Pack Assault, Swooping Hawk, Raptor & Stormboy". LIKE JPA etc. Now it's possible that their English is so poor that they actually mean "New classes unlocked: Jump Pack Assault, Swooping Hawk, Raptor & Stormboy", but I doubt it. You don't accidentally use a word like "like".
Hm... you may even have a point there i have to admit. But advertisment shows you everything you get at once normally, the more reason to pay, the better. I don't know for sure. We will see
You would be amazed at the cheapness of the average gamer. One of my old RL friends enjoys gaming, but he's got 3 kids right now and money needs to go elsewhere. Even when things are suuuuuper cheap he usually doesn't bother ponying up anymore. Free games? He's there heh.
Some one would need to verify this for me but under the original plans the Orks where free to play and customers had to purchuse the factions individually, except the founders and thus why it was advertised that if you payed enough money as a founder you would get all four factions opened to you... Hook, line and sinker! One of the reasons I even became a founder was because I would get all factions unlocked.... And guess what they did! Yep, they gave all factions to all purchuses. Apparently false advertising is o.k. in the video game field. I still think that they should limit the free accounts to the lower population factions.
The problem with such an idea is that no faction would want the F2P players only on their side, as they naturally have a higher proportion of inexperienced players. The only fair solution is F2P for all factions.
This is how I see myself: *taken moments before they've realized I've led them into a horrible slaughterfest*
