@spacemanspiff94: I think they should have kept a hard lvl 50 cap from the beginning. And just had an xp meter fill for perc/respec point. Effectively what it is now, but at the moment your lvl number still increases, although its arbitrary. So if they release and expansion where the level cap is raised for any reason, they can.
As is now, if they raise the level to 60, most players would already be at that.
I could see eventually just going to a gear score progression like we see in other games, notably Destiny. Where everyone is capped at hard lvl 50, but could climb to 60 by equiping gear. And the level of gear what determines level cap.
@weasel_dog: what class action lawsuit. If bethesda is actually having the original item manufactured and shipped to those who purchased the $200 edition, what can be sued over?
Wouldn't the outcome of such a lawsuit only be to provide what was originally promised or fair financial compensation? Or do you suppose people deserve damages for some trauma incurred from not having a canvas bag right away?
@Thanatos2k: nothing you said disuades the opinions I shared, nor the facts I stated. It's all right there. It isn't a puzzle, I don't see why you are so confused. But we can leave it at that. I'm sure you will respond with something to get the last word, which is fine. But it's all right there clearly posted.
@Thanatos2k: I have made my points very clear and backed them up. You just seem to want to find something to debate about. I made my facts clear about what is the core gameplay as stated in prev post. I have made my opinion about the impact to myself the cosmetics have and have expressed understanding that your opinion may differ.
Its all there, and clear. If you can not understand it, that's on you. However i think you do understand it, and are just trying to argue some point you are not really sure of yet.
@Thanatos2k: Can you complete every encounter, every area, every boss, every quest, every puzzle, every sidequest, every bit of crafting, every bit of content that comes in the game without spending a dime on the microtransactions, or even getting the free cosmetics?
Do the cosmetics enable any of that core gameplay at all? no. Its a secondary thing.
You can hate it and call it wrong all you want. You can call people foolish, but those are the facts. Its plain and simple. You can convolute it all you want, and spin it into a "well if you look at it from this perspective, and make these assumptions, then blah blah industry going here and companies are evil shills that just want money" does not change any of those basic facts.
Cosmetics do not enable nor assist in the core gameplay at all. They are cosmetic.
There is your evidence, plain, simple, factual. They could be removed completely and the "core" game would be unchanged.
@Thanatos2k: It is opinion. That is a video of some guy who shares your opinion. If you needed to wear an orange shirt in order to access content, and that could be purchased, then sure its a core component of the game. But that is not what is happening here.
There is a real easy way to determine if cosmetic skins in a game such as fallout76 being a core gameplay element is an opinion or not.
- some people think it is
- some people think it isnt.
its just that easy.
Also you dont need to spend any money to access any of this content...its all free within the game. And assuming the dev claims are truthfull (remains to be seen), all this content can be earned at a reasonable rate for free. (unlike some free to play where you need insane amount of grinding to get anything for free that is in cash shop)
I know you dont agree. That is fine. Your agreement is not necessary for the many people who do agree that microtransactions that do not effect gameplay, and can be gotten for free with reasonable amounts of play, is not a big deal.
