Just a survey to see how people feel about contents in post launch expansions . Please take into consideration that this means Buy2Play expansion, that means if you don't buy it, then you won't have access to any said features. Moreover, remember that EC is a PvP massive war game There is 1 thing I forgot to mention, if an expansion comes with only 1 feature, that means other features will be updated for free. For example: If devs released expansions with new continents only, then new races and classes would be added into the game for free
Expansion with all of the above, for sure ! If we want to keep the game a long time. This is unavoidable. Beside that, some things may be free.
Depends. Do you want to see Land Speeders, Terminators, Warp Spiders locked behind the Pay wall? Given some get mad just because they don't have 2 extra slots to play as Sangu Priest and Wolf Priest, I don't think that will be a good idea.
I think paid DLC PVE content should be a sure thing. It isn't needed to play the main game. If we want them to include new vehicles and classes, there needs to be a way for them to get paid for the work. Seeing how rabid people are around here regarding the payout, not sure what they will do. People would freak out if they weren't gifted Terminatiors on their Marine account for free when they are released. "You mean I can't simply spawn in and try these new units out? I want a refund!" "But it's been 4 months since launch...." " I still want a refund or I'll start a lawsuit...." O_0 I say, charge for whatever makes sense and don't mind the cries of the people who don't even wash their own clothes or make their own dinner.
Here's one way to handle it: Maps, vehicles, and units are released for free alongside the expansion pack. So they're technically part of the expansion, but everyone gets them so we don't have to worry about things like buying a Terminator, or ending up with segregated maps. Weapons are put into the EXP tree, to be unlocked with EXP. But they can also be bought directly to get instant access (similar to PS2). Factions will be bought, either as part of the "expansion proper" or stand-alone. Make it so you don't need the base game to get an expansion faction. If you just want an expansion faction, you can just get that and play the game that way. It probably would be cool to eventually see an "Armored Warfare" expansion. IG, Tau, new vehicles for everyone, new vehicle weapons for everyone, new maps designed for vehicle play.
Yeah, great idea, totally forget about that. Pay to fight something like Swarm Lord or Lichtor is really something I'd like to. That doesn't affect the PvP contents either
Adding some more to @BassiveMollocks quote (all glory to his KiantGnackers): Definately not interested in paying for continents by themselves. This is Player Generated Content and the arena of combat isn't nearly as important as the players who populate it (PvP > PvE). No matter how spectacular, the zones aren't of value if 100% of the player base can't transition to them (F2Waaagh included). Not that what Steven & crew do isn't insanely valuable to the experience just if new continents are good enough they will generate money by players wanting to fill them, without requiring a price tag of their own
