There will be microtransactions in Dragon Age : Inquisition. Facepalm.

 

Seriously

 

This is the news that i wanted to hear after the http://forum.bioware...8-skills-on-pc/ console 8 skill restriction on PC. Are we happy?

[CronoDragoon]

What are you talking about?

[Maria Caliban]

We knew that the moment multiplayer was announced.

[Mystranna Kelteel]

Well, yeah, you gotta sell random item packs in multiplayer.  Not to give anyone an advantage, but to provide an alternative to the hours of grinding required otherwise.

[Stevensanr]

Well i didn't know. Its a slap in da face for me. Not my day.

[CronoDragoon]

It's only in multiplayer. The SP doesn't have microtransactions unless new info has come to light.

[Maria Caliban]

I'm sorry you feel slapped. Microtransactions were in ME 3 MP as well. They help cover the expense of the multiplayer mode.

[katerinafm]

They are optional microtransactions that were in ME3's MP and will only exist in DAI's MP. You never have to use it and never get a lesser experience by not using it, just like in ME3 (I still play ME3's MP and never used microtransactions).

 

You know who will use it? Players that want to support the dev team working hard to bring the FREE dlc that will come out, just like in ME3. Relax.

[Killdren88]

We don't know if its just 8 skills. For all we know we have plenty of skills, we can only prioritize 8 and choose what we want. And lets face it. I highly doubt EA would get away with charging  more money for the rest of our skills. In the SP anyway.

Because people who bought the game aren't supporting these hard working developers?

People have a right to be annoyed at microtransactions in a retail product. Although they don't annoy me personally, I can understand where the issue stems from. People also have a right to worry about how the presence of microtransations is going to affect the item drop rate.

[Darth Krytie]

Yeah, the micro-transactions in DAMP are really unobtrusive. They aren't needed to play and you don't have to buy your way out of cool downs or anything. Plus, all of MP DLC is said to be free. In fact, I think some people who have micro-transactions should take some notes from ME3 MP and upcoming DAMP model.

It what other business in this world is the business forced to assume the cost of a product they make for customers?

[Fidite Nemini]

The real question here is, why are you terribly broken up about it?

 

 

Base opinion on microtransactions aside, DAI MP will be purely coop, not unlike ME3 MP. There is no PvP, meaning that no one who spends money will have an advantage over those who don't. Furthermore, they also said that the rewards (gold) for completing those MP games are shared, which again is just like in ME3 MP. Doesn't matter if that one guy who put a couple dozen bucks into getting hot gear makes is three times better than all others combined, his points are your points too.

 

 

In addition of all that, the available microtransactions in ME3 MP actually enabled BioWare to put out that many FREE MP DLCs. The money for the developement had to come from somewhere after all.

Yes, there are microtransactions.
It's the reason why the game does have multiplayer.
I do not understand, why people are exited about this.

Where in my post did I state anything you said to be the case?

People that buy the game are supporting the developers by buying the game. Simple as. I would argue that microtransactions are more for people that have more disposable income than they do time, such as people with jobs that consume a vast amount of hours, but still want to play the game for an hour or two when they are home. It has nothing to do with "supporting the developer", although there are definitely people out there that purchase them with the intention of supporting the developers outside of their initial purchase, and fair play to them.

But either way, it's unobtrusive and optional. But I can still understand the concerns of people such as the OP.

In this case: no, they don't. The MTs only exist in MP, which couldn't fund itself without them.

[DarkKnightHolmes]

If you expect an AAA-budget game without microtransaction, you're gonna have a bad time.

[aaarcher86]

In this case: no, they don't. The MTs only exist in MP, which couldn't fund itself without them.

 

And are also entirely optional.  ENTIRELY. 

[ManOfSteel]

In this case: no, they don't. The MTs only exist in MP, which couldn't fund itself without them.

People have the right to be concerned, and I don't believe you (or anyone else) is in a position to tell them otherwise. Do I agree that the OP is making a big deal out of something that isn't necessarily going to affect him at all? Yes. But does that change the fact that I can understand his point of view? No.

[Maria Caliban]

Newp.

You're supporting the developers who make the single player product, but two teams worked on DA:I, the MP and the SP team. Without microtransaction, they don't put MP in.

[L. Han]

They will probably use the system in ME3 and Heroes of Dragon Age (iOS, Andriod game). Which is a pretty annoying system.

[In Exile]

I'd happy accept MP in every single game ever if it meant microtransactions are limited to MP. 

[schall_und_rauch]

 Are we happy?

 

I sure am.

It means I get a game for my PC that is balanced for all plattforms in the same way with the same number of available abilities.

In addition, I get a free multiplayer game that is payed for by other people's microtransactions.

[Pressedcat]

Are we happy?

 

Well I don't know about anyone else, but to answer your question yes I am.

 

The micro transactions in ME3 meant that I was able to gain access to all the multiplayer dlc without having to spend a penny. Furthermore, when you do buy 'booster-packs' it sounds like you'll be able to break any unwanted gear down to gain resources in order to craft more gear. Personally I think it all sound pretty good and an improvement over ME's loot system (which I was already largely satisfied with).

[Jimbo_Gee79]

What a shocker that the person responsible for the whole 8 skill slots is the author of this latest pile. No truly I'm flabbergasted. I suppose because you're a PC player microtransactions shouldnt exist?

 

Here's the thing about microtransactions sunshine. Hold onto your leather wig and suede sideburns cos this is gonna blow your socks off.....Its optional! Yes, you dont have to buy anything you don't want to. It's crazy I know. What will those clever boffins up in that studio think up next?

 

Here's the other thing that will probably curl your toes. Some people actually enjoy spending money on that kind of thing. Will this madness never end? I know Damn those people who enjoy having fun and treat it nothing more than a video game. In fact, that could be the title of your next forum thread "people who have fun in video games are evil". Something to think about.
