Where will it get the funds to get better and pay for the servers maintenance YOU can use for free right now if you chose not to play with special skins.
Lets look at Heroes of the Storm's Lootbox System;
- First of all HotS is a f2p game.
- There is more then 80 heroes in HotS, You can level up each hero unlimitedly. Whenever a hero leveled you get a lootbox.
- Also there is a combined level and you get a rare lootbox at every 5 level / epic lootbox at every 25 level.
- Lets say you open a box and dont like what you get. you can reroll your lootbox up to 3 times with spending some golds (gold earned by playing games)
- Also recently they started to sell lootboxes with gold.
- If you get a duplicate u get fair amount of crafting shards so its relatively easy to craft skins you want.
But how they make money if they giving tens of thousands free boxes? They are selling monthly boosters which is only double your XP and gold gain per game. Also selling everything in the store with gems (gems like apex coins). Blizzard have managed to establish the perfect f2p system.
So funding game while giving everything for free is possible. And yes, I know APEX is BR, HotS is moba they are different kind games and HotS can be a little extreme in giving free stuff but it is possible to adapt something like this system to apex. Actually we don't even want too many free things like in HotS... Rewards after level 100 This is an old post with some ideas for this game
We dont live in the 90's anymore... When people spend a lot of time in a game they want to get something in return. Welcome to 2019. You may not think like that but majority of players thinks like that. The funny part is that companies' greedy policies have made people like this... In these days people want to see player/customer friendly games, not company friendly, money sucker games.
I like your reply DrunkenDuck26....
like in HotS you can get everything free it only takes longer... and you can speed everything up by putting money in...
and thats kinda what i want for apex! i want to be able to get all the stuff in lootboxes even if there is just a 7,4% on a normal lootbox to get something legendary... but i wanna have this chance to get it....
right now you are level 100 you dont have any chance (as I said leaving the battle pass aside) to get anything anymore!
so you are forced to pay to get something....
I know its a free game and that they have to make money somewhere i know too...
but then around 15 bucks for 1 legendary skin for 1 Legend is crazy too... if you wanna have a legendary skin for each char thats 1800x9 = 16200 apex coins which is more than 100 bucks! then there are still weapon skins, finishers, and so on and so on....
then i would rather have a full price game paying like 60 bucks and have everything! and strangely on those games the servers are always up too.......
and whats next then.... you can play only 5 rounds a day or you pay for each additional round? or every hour 1 life like in mobile games?
again if someone wants to spend real money for skins and whatever thats ok, but in apex you get forced and there is no way around that and that is the bad thing.... why not have it like every 5 levels a lootbox again past lvl 100.... why not have 1 skin buyable with coins and another buyable with legend tokens... or either with coins or tokens..... people that are too lazy to farm that much will still pay and get what they want faster!!
