Bad idea to split the player base.

You have a disturbing tendency to post my opinion...

[Zjarcal]

Absolutely the worst possible thing they could do.

[k1ngl1ves]

No.

[RB26D3TT]

I would pay for MP DLC that would insure further MP downloadable comtent. In my country Origins paysystem sucks, I can't even buy SP DLC.

No, just no.

Every Dlc I put fourth to sixty bucks in as a token of my appreciation for the work.

Back in I believe May I did a bit of reading on paid DLC vs free, I am on the side to keep it free as many may not be able to afford the cost, I know I play with quite a few university students and it`s probably an expense they can do without, the argument that struck me is paid creates a fracture in the community which in the case of a game almost a year old is probably not a good thing.

You deserve a thank-you from the majority of us.

I also want to point out that it would be easier for BioWare to regulate Multiplayer if 99.9% of active players are using the same version of the game. 

[Arppis]

That would be like forcing people to pay up.

A paid DLC will divide the player-base, and you will find it way more harder to fill your lobbies.

True for most popular MP games out there like COD, Battlefield.. Once the DLCs start rolling out, finding servers with enough players and matching DLC set becomes a headache.

Did you read the post? That's what OP wants. 

[Arni90]

The playerbase of ME3 MP is too small to sustain a paid DLC.

[Psycho Pisces]

So is the OP going to provide the new servers to support running side by side versions of the game for each platform?   Going to pay the salary of the tech to maintain the new servers?  Pay the Dev-team for the extra hours they would have to put in to make sure they are balancing for both servers and that the code they are putting in doesn't create conflict with one version or another? 

I mean, you're throwing a whole heck of a lot of added cost on a long lived game already, so might as well fork over the funds to support it right?  

[DesioPL]

I do not consider to buy MP DLC why?

Alot of money i spend for SP DLC, yes i mean all like weapon packs, alternative costumes, Omega and Leviathan. I don't want buy another Bioware points, to buy one MP DLC.

Otherwise. Bioware said before ME3 release if i good remember, that MP DLC will be free. The speculations that MP DLC will must paid, is from trolls i guess.

If the DLC had 20-30 new maps and only maps, I would buy it.
Characters, guns, mods, gear etc. in separate free DLC.

[Pubisan]

What about, when the dlc comes out, you pay for it, and I don't.
And I'm sure you didn't think it through.

[fayk_id]

wow, quite a turmoil i caused by an innocent suggestion xD

ok, so nobody wants to have a paid DLC which could become a wall separating them from the main playerbase (as far as i know, it is possible to play without dlc even now - so, nobody would have to pay for any upgrades, Psycho Pisces, you would simply have less people to PUG with)

as i said, it was just a thought inspired by those who complain about PUGs and how hard it is to find a good match

if you're an elitist or a PUG hater - then just buy a dlc and enjoy the game behind a big wall, that was the idea of my post. i was just wondering is there enough people who would support this concept. it was not a request or any kind of offer (@OblivionDawn and @Happy Shepard xD)

as it appears, everybody either does not want to pay, or does not want to be a part of a "loyalist oasis". which is great, i think. it means that everybody is ok with status quo and pugs and everything, just like me

EDIT:

to all those offended by me dividing playerbase into loyal players who will buy vs. glitchers/leechers and casual players - i did not mean anything bad by saying that, and i do not think being a casual player is bad

i'm just saying that hard core loyal player will buy it no matter what simply because [s]he's that mad about it. If i didn't have money for a dlc, i would not have money for the game in the first place. casual - means, i can do without it and do not care much, will play without that dlc with the majority of the playerbase and be fine

[Baby Quarian]

I dont have good money all the time, so if I cant buy it, that means I'm not a loyal player?

[36812180234]

I do not see how it must fragment player base. I personally paid real $ for a bunch of PSP when I wanted to unlock characters faster. And I will pay again for new Asari if given a possibility. The model could be like you pay for DLC and get a possibility to unlock certain new kits / consumables / weapons / gear (appearance – like insignia…). Or you can download the DLC for free (automatic download, like patch?), but without possibility to unlock new stuff. If you do not pay, you are still in the game, since you can use your old stuff. The collected money could be used for creation of new maps also, but maps should stay free.

[Mendelevosa]

0/10

Would throw out the airlock.

[tMc Tallgeese]

@OP - What you suggest is madness. Take hold of your tongue before the Forum's Justice removes it with your blaspheming messages of PAID DLC.

[Keffie909]

How about you bought the game already? And you call that leeching? Isn't the free mp dlc what keeps it alive? If you want to play with pay only multiplayer people, have fun finding a lobby when that actually happens

[Mendelevosa]

And how will pricing the DLC separate good players from the bad ones? Those who leech would still buy the DLC and leech like they always have been doing in the past. If you don't like them, just avoid them.

As a matter of fact, I don't think anyone would buy DLC that costs $30-$50. Let's not forget how more difficult it would be to find lobbies, especially since the game is almost a year old. You must really want this game to suffer a swift death.

[_sigge_]

Excellent idea! I want it to be at least a few hundred dolares so only I can afford it.

[Chealec]

I'm not even sure it's possible within the legal / contractual framework of SEN / XBL.

You're suggesting paid DLC to sort the noobs from the hardcore players, wouldn't it be easier and cheaper for everyone, if they just added some sort of skill gate before you're allowed to play public matches of a higher difficulty?

Measuring skill is not easy or accurate and made even trickier because ME3 is all co-op but perhaps something like time played or extractions completed? Not exactly fool proof but I think it'd solve a few of the problems...

Edit: Just read a couple other posts which also raise vaild points. 1) What's to stop beginners from buying said DLC and still hoping to be carried? 2) With the amount of stuff that's broken/glitched within the game, who'd be stupid to pay for that? 3) DLC always split player pools and that's never a good thing.
