It does. After god knows how many hours spent in War Thunder and IL2 cockpits it does.
So if I decide to take tank to the battle and enemy planes maltiest my team whole day, what then? I can’t react to it because I didn’t take plane to the battle while if I had premium no enemy bomber would reach the bombing point and my team has better chance of winning? How is that not P2W please do explain me Enlightened one.
Imagine a game giving something worthwhile as a reward for supporting the game financially thus incentivizing us to actually support it financially.
Huh, how strange.
I’m sure people like TCat that receive everything for free which has been stated previously by him is certainly supporting the game financially all while screaming how everything should be free.
So much financial support from free players, oh wait. There isn’t any.
There’s an awful lot of talk about nerfing everything paid, yet I see nothing to explain WHY SHOULD I SUPPORT THE GAME FINANCIALLY if aspects from what I’m paying for are nerfed or outright removed.
Give freeloaders an extra slot for planes, so they can bring both a plane and a tank, I’ve never argued against this, and call it a day. It’s not P2W, cry more.
Yet a good player will find ways to benefit from the extra slots. There is a difference between P2W and a paid instant win button. Of course you won’t automatically win with extra slots. But saying that don’t matter at all would be a lie.
Also,
Premium time still gives double progression speed, which is plenty of “reward” for its cost, as shown in similar games, for the people concerned about that.
The thing is people are arguing as if it is an instant win button.
The premium slots are fine from my experience playing against premium users and from anecdotes from my f2p friends I play with, but f2p needs to have a plane and tank slot by default.
Support = help, assistance
If you only help people when you get something in return then well, I’m sorry for your friends.
To recive good, finished product that you can enjoy for a long time? That will stay popular and will keep it’s playerbase for everyone to enjoy it?
If you care about having advantage and stoming those who are not willing to pay in F2P game then please, at least don’t hide it after some kind of false morality.
Then ok, my apologies, rough day at work. And I agree if you reach level 25, you could get extra slots or whichever approach they chose. I personally will surely stay interested even in campaigns I reached the max level.
Okay, I had to play 2 battles before I could reply, so sorry for the wait time.
Does it make you a better player - No
Does it give you an advantage - Yes
No matter what you say, having an option to bring more variety of units does give you an upper hand in many situations. Maybe give an argument to support your claim?
So far you haven’t submitted a single argument on your side besides insulting other people who disagree with you
This is literally a subject of the main post? Did you even bother reading it?
Yeah, I have read about it and still support it. I made an extra post just to keep this a part of the discussion on forums.
Yes, giving a reward is a good part, like 95% of the Premium currently does. It gives you an progression boost for already heavy grind. The issue stands when the “Reward” actually affects your performance in games.
So you are a wallet warrior. That’s it. You haven’t presented a single worth mentioning argument besides the fact that you don’t want to pay unless game makes you perform better.
Cry harder, I’ll be here farming over 100 kills per game and blowing through the ranks.
All your arguments boil down to “it’s p2w because it’s an extra slot”, stop pretending it gives you laser aimbot every time you buy premium. It’s a disgrace.
It should be level 10 max. Level 25 won’t be reached for a while for most players and if by then they are frustrated enough by the paid advantages to just leave the game.
Any argument on why game should cater to freeloaders?
You guys sound like someone who played the demo and now demands the rest of the game to be made free.
How about a different solution, you get slots, you get some try outs for premium squads, you get what ever else you feel is unfair to you as a freeplayer. But let’s lock free campaign to level 15, as simple as that. Then of course you will scream that everything above level 15 is what keeps killing you and super unfair.
If the only players that are left playing the game are the ones that pay to stomp on the “freeloaders” as you call them, they won’t have anyone left to stomp, and will leave the game, and then it’ll be dead.
Pay to win, in any shape, way or form, should be removed. It is bad ethics and game developers should learn that.
If those not premium, but purchasable, additional slots could be also availabe for free in campaign progression - I’m 100% ok with that. Then premium account can give you another 2 and I would be ok with that too. Because it will no longer require you to strictly buy things if you want to compete on the same level with premium users.
Do you make the same kind of posts on War Thunder forums? That one pretty much proved that a lot of different benefits to paying customer keep game alive just fine, while games like Planetside2 and H&G pretty much died.
Its the loss of paying customers that kills the game not the freeloaders.
