Nobody cares about cosmetics. Pay for those fucking wings or that ugly pet, idc.
Related: will also feature actual support. Funny how that works.
anyone expected there to not be microtransactions?
Yeah, this. It is okay if the game is a free edition, or if it is a tiny dev, forced to charge "indie" price and not "AAA." Or I'm even more forgiving if it is in games with constant and substantial free content drops, like with Overwatch. I'm even okay with it in WoW to an extent, despite the subscription, just because of how large updates are and because the artists making a store pet are not the same people working on the next raid tier. No excuse for mainline Diablo where big updates are locked behind paid expansions.
You do realize that cosmetics in PoE make that game have a constant supply of new content every 3 months, right?
While I understand PoE is FREE, the question is... do you want regular content for D4, or are you happy with very little? As far as I'm concerned if we get more content and the cost is optional cosmetics, who the fuck cares? Hopefully they have a good amount of cool looking sets, though, and we don't all look like total garbage as a way to entice people to buy them.
Fact is, paying for D4 and not having to pay for any cosmetics, while gaining the benefit of a steady supply of updates far outweighs what happened to D3. So accept it or move on.
*Insert every single ridiculous PC parts detail here that no one cares about*
Games which connect to dedicated servers generally need some form of recurring revenue for hosting those servers, especially if you perform content updates outside of expansions / dlc. I prefer a subscription model, but in cases such as League of Legends MTX can be a good model to use. It just depends how they implement it.
It was known from day 1.
They clearly stated on the Q&A that they "wouldn't sell player power", which clearly means they'll sell everything else.´
Microtransactions and an Open World (bosses) setting completely destroyed my hopes for Diablo 4.
Microtransactions are bad if your game is not F2P
This world don't give us nothing. It be our lot to suffer... and our duty to fight back.
Dont be fooled. If you dont pay for cosmetics, you are going to look like a slave on an internment camp even with the OPest gear.
And thats the key right there where you said "PoE" is free. Diablo is not, its a good chunk of money to get in. PoE has regular updates. Diablo doesnt.
Again dont be fooled. The reason of the slow updates for D3 was not they couldnt affort devs to it. They just wouldnt.
PoE has tons of microtransactions. I don't see a problem with having some cosmetic mictrotransactions in this type of game. It incentives blizzard to continue to support the game. Otherwise they abandon it like they did with d3
