New Thread ( Please Don't Ruin This ) World Of Chel Is Now Monetized
This Is in subject from the previous discussion but said in a different terminology. So as my friends locally have disbanded World because of certain X-factors sitting behind a paywall it led to this. First off the characters many of them have attributes that you can't obtain F2P for a custom build. Ask majority of the community members, nobody wanted this. If EA NHL was to do an interview with the content creators or anyone they would see that. So currently these characters are listed at a discount currently from 2500 points and under. For the bundle of characters its more expensive which sits at a cost of 27, 700 price originally which is over $200 CDN. Discount is 5, 500 at over $60.
As we dig further down the paywall season 2 X Factor bundle is 5,000 discounted which is over $60 also mathematically speaking. Now for the biggest annoyance is a singular X factor is 1250 points which is about $15 CDN... so it order to have Elite Wheels it costs money. Yeah $15 isn't much but who wants to pay that price for an X Factor? My money could be spend somewhere reasonable.
The responses on the last thread that these could have been obtained during the events doesn't delegate the fact the fact these are sitting behind an expensive paywall to obtain them now. If you're someone who has a life outside of gaming there isn't always the change to commit to these. I'm not gonna quit my job or take a day off for something like this... where is the F2P aspect into be able to get these anytime through leveling up? Like even other games give that option.
And this brings me to the last part of this. X Factors do play a part in the gameplay just like in example a loadout does in games like Battlefield. Say a weapon loadout will have a specific affect on aim, shot and damage. As in NHL 26 Wheels Elite will have a better affect on speed. Someone who doesn't have it uses more stamina and is drained faster. The pressure system in this case works against you during that scenario. This happens in HUT all the time when someone has elite wheels they are able to out skate someone who doesn't. That is why you often see low overalls out skate higher because it focuses on attributes rather than overall.
In conclusion it's an expensive product and this game mode now is monetized which it used only be a little bit. Heck even to get jerseys, arena's and such for club it sits behind an unlockable wall which i understand but really makes it hard for clubs to keep interest when not everyone can be online 24/7...
Feel free to continue your opinions but lets keep the sarcasm and attacks out so it doesn't get locked.
