P2W?

If you pay $40 you get extra weapons and spells.

More like pay to die, again and again…

As if most twinks in ER are honest
The rampant use of CE to get items/people being "nice and helpful" by giving spawned items away just makes the online play such a mess

You only need to kill 4 bosses, Dog + Rennala, Radahn and Mohg. Kill Dog + Rennala, grab the medallion pieces, get up the lift (this triggers Radahn's festival) Kill him, you now have killed two shardbearers so you can do Varre quest line accessing Mohg.

PvE content can be broken in numerous ways as is, and none of the new stuff will save you in PvP if you expect them to be a "I press button - I win" kind of deal.

That requires 6 kills, Godrick kill starts Varres guest
Stormveil keeps it at 4 with Margit + Godrick

on the other hand that doesn't stop you from buying cs skins

[Deutéros]

I would rather buy a DLC than be a pigeon and buy CS skins

[ﾏｿｿｿ ₒ❤]

man... you must haven't heard about CoD's EOMM giving skins buyers damage buff to even artificially making people lag when going against the premium skins users.

advantages for money immediately without being killed by bosses over and over for new weapons through a 40 hours campaign

They still have level and weapon upgrade protections for invading, the new weapons can't cause that much of an imbalance if any

well skins are just cosmetics, but ER that has PVP and unless you spend extra money ($40) being quite steep, then you would be in disadvantage

indeed i dont play cod, but just cause a company does something bad doesnt mean another company can make something bad but "less worse".
Im not sure if what you're saying is true, but anyway this is about ER

my real issue with the skins the actual steam trading market. It's predatory and a scam (especially the trading cards where you are forced to buy cards if you want a full set to level your steam account), where steam gets a cut of every single transaction, and the skins are being sold to gamblers and impulse buyers.

if you actually play Blue archive, no the DLC isn't as P2W as that game.

2nd, you don't have to suffer to get your shiny new toy like in the DLC, compare to gacha games.

3rd, not everyone coop all the time to be invaded, and invading has to be on people around your level, even if you get the new toys, it's not the one thing that's better than the rest the base game has

early DLC's accessible weapons are just above average at best and the good sh#t are behind all the hard bosses, you have to earn it.

40 for a dlc is expensive
but a skin that is useless 200 no, its fine
cs the best ♥♥♥♥ trap
