Would Pay to Unlock Everything

[SenisterDenister]

For the sheer frustration of having to grind I'd rather just give you guys like five or ten bucks to unlock everything up front and be done with it. It's asinine having to unlock anything these days. You already have my money from the game, is my time not important to myself?

No

That's not how it works.

"When it comes to cosmetics we'll be releasing them at varying levels - some will be immediate / early and others will take a bit of gameplay to unlock.

With certain customisation items we want players that see them to be like "Woah, ok, this person's an experienced player in this role"."

This is from Jonno in another post. Certain unlocks are to show that players are experienced in that role. It's supposed to mean something to unlock them. Not just buy them like skins in most games.

Don't look at it like a grind. Just play the game. You'll unlock things eventually.

Great advice...I often forget to equip new unlocks, rarely even check the barracks these days.

Except for today...today is cap day fur alles!

Agreed, if your focus is on cosmetics you might as well stop playing. Play the game cause it's fun and be pleasantly surprised when you do unlock something and appreciative for the fact they give you the option without having to pay.

While I personally give 0 craps about unlocks, I do get that some people hang their hats on them (literally). As long as they don't let it taint their view of the game and the actually gameplay, it's all good to want to achieve something, and show it. Ya'll just have to be patient as the game is not yet complete.

I do find it extremely puzzling when ppl say "If I can't have ALL of the unlocks without putting in any effort, Ima stop playing"...that's just lame, this isn't a dressup game, the cozies are just a cherry on top...I sure as hell ain't eating an ice cream sundae just for the cherry!

More importantly, the whole cosmetic system is also a test...a dry run of what's to come. The devs have mentioned numerous times that their end goal is to have something for pretty much every level to fill in the gaps that are admittedly, quite large at present.

When this goes gold, there'll be plenty of goodies to go around.

Hey everyone,

That's the case with the US Uniform we dropped today, whereas the German Hats are staggered unlocks.

As we continue to fill in the level unlock gaps as well as just adding more immediately accessible customisation content you'll see your frontline wardrobes grow. (In an authentic fashion!)

pls no! we don't want cosmetic paying content.....

[SenisterDenister]

I value my time more than my money, I don't have the time to sit around all day and play to unlock these aesthetics. If I want them what's the big deal?

[Barley_Mob]

They have said from day 1, no paid content, which is amazing given the recent trend of micro transactions up the wazoo. I hope they do not buckle to those that have zero patience and want it all now.

The only real purpose the unlocks have is to delineate between those that have played for a while vs those that just picked it up, something that is also a good feature.

If you are enjoying playing the actual game, what's the big deal if you have to put in some work to get a completely superficial, painted helmet or coat? Other than to distinguish yourself as being more experienced...which, while being a cool feature, has no real impact on the game and how it plays.

Also...read what I just posted, and what Jonno said...soon you'll have a lot of things to unlock (ideally one per level).

paying no but giving like getting a support class to like lvl 3 then unlocking lvl 3 cosmetics for ALL support classes for example.

[Barley_Mob]

If I'm understanding what you are saying...it is like that already. Roles for each faction level up simultaneously.

Id you reach level 3 support, it'll be lvl 3 for the Germs and lvl 3 for the US

+1

Great game, no prob droppin 5/10 bucks for the cosmetics and give further support to the cause. Good idea for a fund raiser. I get the point of looking like a Vet, but its all bout the $.
