I am just a messenger, I cannot verfiy accuaracy of the info.
Key things for me are
The big one, June 5 release date!
What you get for each package
early access for open beta
& the most controverisal part, Up to 4 days early access for final game with Ultimate edition!
My thoughts:
June 5 date is a bit disappointing (if true of course), but if its means more polish & more stuff, its not bad. I wait 10 years, I can wait another 1-2 months.
The special editions preoder pretty dull with no physical goodies like books, figurings etc.
Highly controverial is early access for release version ONLY for Ultimate editions for many reasons.
Complains of P2W.
Even worse, the backlash if people pay for the Ultimate editions to get early access only to run into server queue & log in issues!
For God sake, they should remove the early access for release & swap to other goodies.
I believe tier skips are after you complete the game once. Battlepasses are seasonal and free unless you want the extra cosmetics etc and competition is optional i guess… i don’t get why people complain about having options lol.
oh i am not too concerned about that
it was just a funny sentence to read. xD
i’d rather find cool armor and weapon designs in the world and apply them to my gear
4 Day early access as a pre-order bonus ONLY for the more expensive editions of the game.
If this holds up as true then I’m going to be pretty disappointed in the team.
D4 has spent a lot of time making big promises about being fair to gamers and then they pull that?
I’ll wait for an official confirmation but for me this is a far bigger dent in my confidence in long-term plans for the game than basically anything else.
4 day early access isn’t bad at all, people need to expect this, as it’s a gaming standard now. Whether it’s the standard version of the game or special editions it makes no difference.
Season 1 isn’t starting at launch, so no one has an advantage anyways. If someone wants to pay extra to sit in queues and start-up bugs, let them.
