Maybe to you it doesn’t make sense that more effort and time costs more money but that is common place all around the world.
And are you saying that Systemic Reaction hasn’t given us stuff for free or at reduced cost?
Well, lets see what we’ve gotten thus far:
New emotes
Photo mode
4 new clothing sets (in a DLC)
Bikes
another 4 new clothing sets (in a DLC)
Plundra
In-game challenges
Rivals, experimental weapons, more new emotes
KVM 59, KVM 89
Experimental KVM 59
Crafting
Melee weapons
Reaper, experimental melee weapon
All that has been completely FREE for ALL players, costing you a big, fat 0.
What has had price tag with, were:
4 new clothing sets (in a DLC) - €2.99
Alpine Unrest DLC - €7.99
FNIX Rising DLC - €7.99
US weapons pack DLC - €2.99
Alpine Unrest DLC was too cheap for the content it offered and i expected it to cost at least €15, if not more. Other paid DLCs have their price about right for the content they offer.
Systemic Reaction has thrown us A TON of free stuff in a monthly basis and you’re still complaining? Many other game companies would put a price tag to each and every update/DLC they put out.
Just look at Train Simulator 2021, each DLC they have released is priced either €8.99, €15.99 or €29.99, with few costing €5.99. And it has A LOT of them.
The entire game of GZ doesn’t cost as much as one DLC for Train Simulator 2021 costs (€24.99 vs €29.99).
If you are willing to work overtime for nothing, that’s on you. But that doesn’t mean others can’t ask and get compensation for their overtime.
Also, if your boss would offer to pay you twice the normal rate for your overtime, would you turn down the extra money due to your principles?
That’s exactly what you’ve been arguing over. E.g: “you can’t ask more money because you’ve worked more/harder”.
And what my moderator status has to do with all that?
Did I once complain about the price? What I am complaining about is that the face of a moderator which honestly on almost every single forum is biased, except here. Yet you throw your opinion and shut down anyone who argues you. What example are you setting for the forum readers?
I could care less about the price and like I said, bought it to support the devs. You stating what it should be is what I have a problem with, and you only equivalate it to time = money instead of market or any other factors involved, or most importantly what the developers are thinking. I told you this before, you are not a developer so stop speaking like you know what they think.
I brought counterargument to the discussion, by contradicting your argument with reasoning and supporting evidence. You, however, resulted in ad hominem, attacking my authority in the forums without addressing the substance of the argument.
At this point forwards, it’s next to impossible to continue proper discussion since you will be attacking my authority (moderator position) regardless.
Sadly no. But I’ve found a 4* N60 that I’m very happy with. And a 5* N9’ pistol. So they do drop, just not very often. The DLC does add more stuff to the loot pool, which I assume could affect droprates. I could poke someone about it, once the devs get back from vacation
Obligatory Moderator Input;
Commenting on this thread is in regards of US Weapons droprates and if they can be improved, not the pricing of the DLC. So let’s keep the discussion of the topic civil and constructive from now on, or I’ll have to resort to more drastic measures to ensure it does not derail again
You are arguing that if they spent more time than skin/models/animation and added a quest the weapon pack price in your words “equals higher price for the DLC” when you don’t even know that,… that is your opinion and not a fact. Your status comes off as one with the company even though you are not. Do you see where your opinion in things can get murky?
Yea I am done.
As for the drop rates: I have killed one APOC Hunter and immediately got a 5c N9 which was cool as heck. Just need more parts and the others as well
I started a new game when the weapons pack released, so I was stuck in the Farmlands. Not many Apoc’s there to farm… I decided to push my way back into Himfjäll, in order to increase my chances of some US loot.
So basically, I quickly took out 2 Apoc Harvys, 10’ish Apoc Tanks and a horde of Hunters, until I finally hit lvl. 25 and immediately went for a lvl. 4 Apoc Harvy rival.
Not sure if it being rival makes it have more of a chance. AS rival status does not usually effect any drop other than adding exp to the loot pool. But apoc is def the best.
Many other game companies would put a price tag to each and every update/DLC they put out.
