Actually, tbf, the concept of micro transactions is more of a recent thing. You used to be able to pay for something and play it without purchasing more minor things, unless it came in an expansion or dlc. WoW, for example, only started introducing them in WotLK if I remember correctly. This is merely a recent trend in MMOs too, maybe sonce the last decade? Like I think the horse armor dlc in Oblivion is considered the first micro transaction.
microtransactions have always been there in the last 15 years, almost all the games had them starting from the dlc to finish the costumes for the characters is recent but before 2007-2009 the video games were niche from this period (ps3/x360) they started to attract more users and development houses introduced microtransactions to make more money
I guess I donāt really consider āDLCā as microtransactions, because generally it refers to a large bundle of items that would warrant a larger purchase. I see microtransactions as normally singular items or small bundles sold at a bloated price that could have been earned in game as content. I understand it being in F2P games, since there needs to be some form of revenue. I just donāt like it being forced into P2P games. CoD being notable of being one of the worst offenders of overpriced garbage, and even Assassinās Creed, a singleplayer game, is following this trend. If anything I think it would be preferable if they stayed with the other four campaigns (saying this as a Moscow main), instead of new campaigns, if they intend to continue doing P2P campaigns.
all purchases separated from the base game and which the base game does not need to work are microtransaction also the dlc for many (including me), now the topic of the p2p campaign is bullshit the campaign is not p2p because the f2p have more than necessary to beat p2p and they get almost the same things albeit in a slightly more limited form, however this is not a topic to talk about microtransaction or for the 172 time if the campaign is p2w if you want to do it open a separate topic
Then dont look at it.

This is so cool
most of this is just pure lazy. ALL of the vehicle camos, emblems and options were ripped directly from war thunder, the russian summer camo doesnt even look like its reacting to the lighting correctly ffs.
I was stoked for soldier customizationā¦ Iād even be willing to drop $5 for packs (i dont mean packs of 5 of the same item, i mean unlimited uses of many items, like $5 for a pack of 20 unit insignia or $0.99 for bandages) of cool things like unit insignia, emblems or things like patches sewn into worn coats, bandages etc etc.
Instead, what we get is the ability to swap hats and faces with premium currency and premium battle pass rewards.
Darkflow i am BEGGING you to stop monetizing this game, countless studios have gone down this path and it NEVER ends well. WTās player counts have never been lower, event participation is dragging and above all else, people on average stop grinding before they even get their tiger ii or T54.
This game is already teetering on the edge of the cliff. We as players are begging you not to be another Armored Warfare, Battlefront 2 or Crossout.
This is GREAT news. I waited long for that yet never really thought it to happen
But I sincerely hope for sliders where you just can go from one Uniform piece to the next. Please no āspend 1 Silver for 1 helmetā where you have to start opening a storage room for all your gear.
Regarding the War Thunder skins. Itās not lazy but effective to use what you already have of resources. It is the same with tanks and planes since the beginning of the game. My only fear is that we will see the most unhistorical, eye cancer causing creations imagineable. If you already found the Bf109 from the news article to be extremely close to kitsch then BEWARE. If War Thunder told me anything then that a huge amount of people have absolutely no taste but just put random symbols or texts on their vehicles in maximum size.
Dovbleg?
That is the Romanian M1893 Mannlicher rifle
Yesss I have spent a lot of time doing thatā¦
This new feature looks very nice, I was waiting for something like this
whom summoned me
Thereās sadly no m1 carbine in upcoming Stalingradā¦
But perhaps might you be interested in those sweet winchesters? (Pretty fun in Moscow, and with the damage boost they will receiveā¦)
he is only interested in the carbines so only in the 1938 carabine how dare you give him a lever action rifle
It can shoot very, very fastā¦ like the carbine in Moscow only, it has a very powerful āoomfā when it hits. It does 15 damage stock, and the devs want to boost itā¦ I know what Iāll use in Stalingrad! Others can keep their boring ppsh41.
i mean the MKB is also a carbine, same with kar98k
So the K in MKB stay for Karabiner?
