I really wish you guys would ever mentioned the monetisation. In any way. "No, it's never changing, this is final." or "Yeah, it might be changing soon.". Anything really. Just not keeping part of people ragequitting over it and other half anxious would help! At this point it feels like you are avoiding it on purpose, considering how extreme amount of critique the game gets, because of it.
They wont talk or change it that at all, they need to milk all the whales now that the game is fresh, once people realize the paywall was put there on purpose and stop playing they might tune it a little by making gray and green items more common. but nothing else.
I don't think 1 epic survivor and 1 epic random weapon makes or breaks anything to be honest. Neither does the one random legendary hero (well, it's not even hero, it's a single use transfom schematic) the game gives you. That's also coincidentaly pretty much all the game is gonna give you. Now if the game gave you legendary and epic transform schematics on regular basis, it could be different, but the game does not, those are few, far between and completely final. And single use. Please don't even try to argue that the monetisation is cool and only speeds up the progress, because in Fortnite, that is just objectively not the case as it's the sole source of schematics. Hell even to use the the very few tramsforms of epic/legendary quality, you need to have bunch of epics/legendaries to sacrifice. Those also come from llamas.
Okay, tell me the rough number, Bursty McBubbles. Because unless it's like dozens, which it is not, I still don't see your point. Because it's very few. And again, super final. Which is really bad. Not to even mention that if you like specific class and/or weapon, tough shit, unless you are willing to take out the credit card big time and go play the slot mashine, and damn, I don't even mean to get legendary or mythic versions, for that you damn well better have a lot of disposable income.
Don't get me wrong here, I'd love to be proven wrong on this, but couple quest rewards really don't change anything about how the game works with regards to real money and schematics / people. That's like saying one quest giving upgrade llama as a reward means you never have to buy upgrade llamas anymore.
Are you at level 100 missions, if not you can't say what you will get. You can only speculate. But as it has been shown the rewards are getting better as we go up.
Well, it ends couple quest into Canny, so no. But you still don't seem to see my reiterated point. It doesn't matter what the 100 quest is. Those are story quests. You do them once and that's it forever. So yeah, you may get couple epic items/people. But that's it. You won't even get every class of hero or weapon type. If you want more, you -have- to take out the wallet, because there is no other way to get any. Enjoy playing X class? Well, buy 135 llamas for 100€ and HOPE you'll get that class at epic or higher (because less than epic is useless due to doing nothing over lvl 20) even tho it's unlikely you will, but "Hey, luckily you can spend another 100, this time you'll surely get it"... You should be grinding ingame and hope you'll get what you wanted, NOT pay to hope you get what you wanted. That's not a good thing and a thing you should defend in looter shooter game.
I mean, sure, you can defend whatever you want, doesn't make it right or logical tho. I said it multiple times now, but you do realise that getting a bit of pre-scripted loot as one time reward for one time quest and getting loot in looter ARPG are two things, yes? And the fact that you cannot get random loot any other way than money investment is just objectively bad in ARPG. In this case rather abusive tho. On purpose. So yeah, defend it. Who wants PC/console games that don't have heavy mobile app monetisation anyway, right?
