They doesnt help a newcomer lot. The medic and the equipment is useless ,When you play a F2P game for a few days and consider buying some stuff and take look at the content of the starter pack you barely can see much value in it , except for maybe premium time and gold.
The sterter decks should be reworked :
change medic for an elte +20 % rifleman - this should be the minimum ,
Additonaly maybe a premium tier 1 gun and unique camo .
they need to come with an engineer, as DF is still too dumb to give beginners engineers and the ability to build rallies.
ive been writing since the merge happened that new players need to get a free engineer & 2 days free premium time after winning the first game. this is perfect for new players and perfect for DFs business, but marketing is one of DFs biggest weaknesses.
