Should be fun, don't screw this up Bioware!

i didnt get to play it, never downloaded it, but from what my buddies say, this is solid as fuck so far, but they are all skeptical because well EA.

:-)

EA is ass and will ruin it with shitty micro transactions, which, have no fucking place in a full retail price, AAA game.
[Reply]

Bioware has already stated microtransactions will be cosmetic only. Fingers crossed.

Livestream coming up here in a couple of minutes...

primer/detonators like Mass Effect

5 different gun/component slots

6 Different rarity types

common, uncommon, rare, epic, masterwork and legendary

uncommon and up get 1-4 inscription rolls which pick from a pool of over 100 different stats

inscriptions stack infinitely and support roles can matter

Masterworks and up get an extra powerful stat ie killing an enemy causes an electric explosion etc

Very Large item carry limit/storage limit

Salvaging gives crafting tools

Find blueprints to craft items up to legendary and bp's will drop at your overall power lvl

Can't reroll properties on items

Legendary items will all reroll with different stats other than its prmary stat for that weapon.

Bosses will drop from much higher loot tables, seems you can find anything anywhere with better chances at higher difficulties. :-)

Challenges like take out x boss 10 times will grant you a high level reward ie leg blueprint etc

Loot is instanced for each person but no trading.

Loadouts matter you can gear towards taking out trash mobs or more towards boss damage.

Looked like a pretty robust system watching the stream. Def looks closer to Diablo style loot than Destiny style loot.
[Reply]

They've said that for literally months. Cosmetic only and anything you can buy can also be earned in-game.
[Reply]

True but they haven't ruled out putting out new Javelins as paid, which is ok by me in order for them to have new content they will need some form of revenue.
[Reply]

Absolutely! The system will kill Destiny as it should, consider me giddy as can be. :-)
[Reply]

They haven't said anything at all to my knowledge about paying for any content, javelins or otherwise. They've outright said that any future story content will come as free dlc.
[Reply]

Live stream looked really good. Should be interesting stacking/creating optimal builds.
[Reply]

They did actually say they might charge for new Javelins, again I have no problem with this. Look at games like WOW if you want new content you have to pay in some way and I won't be spending any money on cosmetics because I really dont care for cosmetics. Substance over style everyday for me.
[Reply]

Man I cannot wait for this game...they're saying all the right things.
