News...
So we all know that the latest news from EA was the most downvoted post in Reddit history and upset so many people that the developers have even had death threats.
EA didn't take long to respond however and tried to put a position spin on things but by this point it's too late with a vast amount of people even cancelling their pre-orders.
Their solution to the issue was to reduce the grind time by 75% which is a drastically large increase considering it would have taken a player over 40 hours to complete a minor task.
Here is the catch EA failed to mention when it announced that it would be reducing hero unlock costs in Star Wars Battlefront 2 is that in-game rewards have also been reduced. Prior to the changes, completing Star Wars Battlefront 2‘s story campaign rewarded players with 20,000 credits, but that reward has been reduced to a mere 5,000 credits.
They haven't really addressed the issue in fact they seem to have made it a lot worse and they are still relying on people using real money to purchase the upgrades.
How do you feel about this? Are the changes enough to satisfy you? I think EA have done some serious damage here.
