Well, Crystals are gone for now
An Update on Star Wars Battlefront II. I read somewhere the recent AMA didn't go so well. Haven't read through it yet. Crystal purchases seem to be gone, for now: Wonder where we go from her...
Forum Discussion
Crystals are not gone completely but only offline temporarily until they can straighten this mess out. They will be back with who knows what right now. Hopefully with cosmetics which has greatly been given in feedback already. But DLC should still be free as promised they will still make plenty of money off of cosmetics if that's what they plan to do..
But gawd forbid if they bring crystals back and tie them to progression again I will never trust EA and DICE. This is like their last chance to get things right with the consumers. I'm still on guard with buying the game because who knows what they are going to do now.
I am disappointed it took them this much attention and craziness from the community to finally get rid of this paid progression system though. They really need to start listening to us sooner because a lot of the feedback and demand that was given started years back ago in BF 2015 and even the progression system was highly getting criticized after the beta which they changed very little in. .
- Cold hard truth remains. We don't get something for nothing. How does EA get the cash to keep paying people and services (e.g. servers) to keep to giving us new content, patches, updates and servers to play on?
- So they say they heard us "lound and clear", then 2 seconds later state that microtransactions will be back? Congratulations, you managed to mess it up... again. Having pay to win system was part of the problem, but having microtransactions in a full price game is an issue in itself, with almost every game nowadays. Don't make your customers hate you.
I won't be buying this game unless pay 2 win is gone. Shame as I was really looking forward to it and LOVE BF2015

Well... even if pay to win is gone forever, play to win is still going to be a thing unless they do away with cards entirely, which will not happen because the backlash from people who have now played and payed for cards would collapse the player base.
Either way, you're going to be facing the same disadvantage if you ever do decide to pick the game up.
- Whilst the crates appear random, lets not forget that this loot systems allow EA the ability to change the odds of receiving any particlar reward at any time in the future. So if at some distant time it makes more finacial sense for them to lower the odds of getting a particlar card in a crate then they can just do that and no one would ever know.....except the EA finance dept who will have to buy a new calculator that can handle bigger numbers.
