Thrones of Decay. DLC within DLC?

[Fallingfloor]

I'm a bit confused. Is the DLC Thrones of Decay, one DLC, or is it a series of releases? Why would they chop it up or segment it? Wouldn't it be less confusing to come up with different names for each segment?

They are now changing it so that you can either buy one individual faction or all 3. So if you are only interested in the Empire faction of the DLC you don't have to pay additional money for the Dwarf and Nurgle faction you probably wouldn't play.

Basically you can still buy all 3 as a bundle just like all former dlcs or you can buy the factions individually so you don't have to waste money on factions you wouldn't play as at all.

People were complaining about the price, so You can buy just part of DLC instead of whole DLC

This.

Because it's pretty disgusting to ask people to pay 25e for 1 LL if all you play is Empire, for example and have no interest in Nurgle or Dwarfs.

Splitting it up clearly wasn't part of the original plan, but they've already marketed it as TOD. They can't really change that beyond calling it 'TOD - Empire Pack' or something similar, which is presumably what they'll do.

It's been split up as a way to try and get more sales by making it a more attractive option for consumers who only want to buy part of the DLC.

If they keep going down this path, future DLC might have distinct names for each 'segment', and essentially be standalone packs that are released simultaneously.

Its because warhammer fans dont have a memory that goes farther than 3 weeks.
Y'all straight up gave up on the boycott right as it was swinging in your favor. But instead of sticking with it yall went "ooh, 8 whole units" and went with it.

and fair is 8 units, most of which are reskins, being added. and not even updating the factions that need updates. got it.
Didn't realize that asking CA to fix their factions for the low low price of half the cost of the freaking game was basically telling them to "suck my ♥♥♥♥"

Well, first I think the reskin thing is dumb. Recolor is a problem, reskin is fine.

Second, no faction needs to be fixed. Almost all of them could be improved. Ever asked how a faction should be improved here? There's plenty of ideas and zero consensus.

But really, what is your end game? Should we boycott until CA pulls the plug and SEGA pulls the plug on them? You're not going to get everything you want, and neither am I. There is zero chance the AI gets improved during the lifespan of this game, and that is what it needs most of all.

At some point you need to compromise or move on.

I hate the use of the word reskin too. Like yes, humanoid models use the same human skeleton. So? Same with the other model skeletons, so? It's recolors that are bad.

Hopefully the uber fans will buy the dlcs individually instead of packaged and CA might make just enough to make 2 more dlcs for us.

I personally dont care if they dropped it after the next patch. If the next patch would address campaign ai, pathdinding, sieges, and maybe smarten up the battle ai ig.

Because people whinge they like Empire faction but don't want vampire count faction and don't want to pay for it

Apply that complaint to basically every faction at every angle

So now they save money

Offering each faction's content seperate is the most customer friendly thing CA has ever done.

Be careful buying the dlc segments separately. You will charge yourself 5 dollars more if you decide to grab the rest after buying 1 part.
