I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil

And summoner characters. But that's a particularly personal preference.
Too bad Gazillion and the game really went downhill after Brevik left IMHO
It really is like Anthem, nice looking but nothing under the surface but that wont stop them trying to gouge you at every opportunity.
And right there you see how far gaming has fallen, being glad that they are going to cane us for money but not as much as they could have caned us.
Devs now days are just so scummy,they will exploit every foolish spender on the planet if they can and will.These foolish spenders ruin it for everyone,it keeps devs doing it.
The best thing that could happen is if nobody bought the game,now wouldn't that be a slap in the face and a wake up call,sadly those foolish people will hand over their wallets.
I got to witness first hand watching a recent fortnite steam where they had that rapper go giant large in game.What i saw were VERY young teenagers,some didn't even look to be of legal age spending like madmen on cash shop attire/costumes.
Older people are often not too intelligent in their spending but young kids,easy fodder for these exploiting developers.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
If we're going to complain about something, let it be the REAL problems like performance, longevity of gameplay or, I don't know, maybe Sony buying exclusive rights to an entire iconic character for their platform.
God damn! I hope(though expect the opposite) that it will fail, just so Bobby Kotick and co don't get any bright ideas.

Came here for this. This is super important to note! Avengers' Battle Pass system is for sure the most player friendly I've seen yet.
This game has just managed to continuously poison it's own well with Spiderman exclusivity, mobile carrier skins, 5 gum promotions, and all sorts of other tacky bullshit.
I enjoyed myself during the beta, but this game is trying REALLY hard to make people hate it.
Selling an Avengers game should be the easiest task on earth.
Even if the launch ones don't include the credits, at MOST you only have to spend $10 ONCE, complete the battle pass, and use the earned credits to buy the next one. Repeat.
Also, the exclusive stuff is literally all cosmetic fluff, don't need any of it for actual gameplay. All additional content added that matters is completely FREE, forever.
If you want more free characters and content, you have to accept the fact that they need funding from somewhere, and TBH I am shocked they even let you earn your credits back through the passes. I would have been completely fine with just paying $10 for each DLC pass anyways (probably still will, to support a game I love). Beyond fair system imo.
Paid DLC? So, like $10 for every additional DLC character they add? Pretty much the industry standard at this point? I'm sorry I'm just confused as to why you are willing to pay for DLC (characters and their missions/content) but not their battle passes. This way at least gives you all the DLC for free, and only charges for some cosmetic fluff if you want it.
Also again, it's at most only $10, one time payment. Each premium battle pass let's you earn back the 1000 credits you spend on it. No time limit. This means you can just keep using those to buy the next pass and so forth. All launch characters premium passes are unlocked for free too, so there's that.
Nope, the most player friendly system is to charge one price for the whole game and not do any exclusives or paid DLC. The second most player friendly system is having a small number of expansions that's actually worth the price and doesn't make you grind for hours.
And how long do you have to grind to get those 1000 credits back? How many players do you think have the time to actually do that?
The points towards the battle passes are earned through daily and weekly challenges, pretty easy ones at that, from what I gathered playing the beta. Not really much grinding to do tbh, can take it at your own pace. Also this is an action looter shooter style game, so grinding kind of comes with the territory. The battle pass challenges are just something that happen naturally as you play.

The battle pass challenges kind of complete themselves naturally as you play. At least they did for me... Just running around on Hulk for like 45 minutes I managed to complete both dailies and the weekly without even trying.
