Ubi Soft Club locked jacket for paying customers!!?

[Crow]

This is the first time i have seen locked content because you did not participate in the closed free beta for the game.

Does anyone if it will be unlocked to even buy with real money at some point this is so off putting to me.

To be clear I dont really care about the jacket its the message they are sending to paying cusomers of triple A game. Its buisness practice that concerns me and it further increases my distrust with the company over all. This issue is just straw the broke the camills back kind of thing.

In reality the game is still in beta so we should all get the jacket lol:

The red leather jacket is only for people who played the closed beta, so if its locked for you, you didn't participate in the closed beta, as for me however, I participated in the alpha and both closed and open beta. If you played the open beta you get a gold motorbike helmet.

I know but its so so off putting to me that they lock content for not playing it while the game was free. You would thinkcustomers like me who payed 100 bucks would be able to unlock it its just so weird.

It's not weird you get this with betas, participate and get a reward, don't participate you get ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. It's just a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ jacket I have no idea why you're complaining.

Hi Shima, the Closed and Open Beta players did receive an exclusive reward for thier participation.

Kind Regards

lol Ubi with the sick save.

I don't recall getting any rewards for being in both closed and open beta. Is it a uPlay reward redeeming situation?

A "reward" for being randomly chosen.

Because I think its a poor buisness practice to exclude content from paying customers. It futher increases my distrust with ubi soft and the future of this game over all. Im losing hope that this game will be fixed.

Honestly, a jacket is the least of this game's concerns.

The game has more issues such as overly-aggressive rubber banding, low LODs and obvious pop-in, forced TXAA that makes the game look like it's running at a lower resolution than it actually is running at, vehicles not saving their positions in the house, etc.

There are things worth pointing out that are wrong with the game. But a jacket is not significant enough. And honestly, I didn't even care because I used the racing suit anyway. I can understand if it's something significant like a car, but a jacket isn't what I'd consider significant enough.

Rewarding beta testers with items actually ain't all that new. I used to receive a couple from testing closed and open betas for different games. And honestly, 90% of the rewards are just okay but nothing special. The gold helmet from the open beta is way cooler IMO

I agree but I feel this whole jacket issue is like physical representation about how ubisoft feels about their paying customers I hope im wrong.

Too early to tell.

Some past Ubi games actually got pretty darn good support despite a lukewarm initial reception. Like Rainbow Six: Siege and The Division. They weren't great at launch but got much better with time, especially for Siege, which also received a major graphical overhaul that's over 40++GB in size.

Hopefully the same applies to this game but I also hope that this doesn't mean selling lean games at launch and then bucking up over time

They've been doing rewards for beta participants for a while now, the original The Crew also had one. Not sure where you've been this entire time.

This whole time I have been not buying ubisoft games because I grew very distrusful of their company over all. That’s where i have been. So I don’t have stock holm syndrome like you and i’m not indifferent to there distasteful business practices.
