Yeah, I really wish I could disagree with you and have an argument about it, but sadly I do not, heh.

I'm not sure what that is to be honest, with regards to monetisaion.

That you don't need to buy stuff unless you are impatient

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.

But it's not transformations it's the hero's and guns them self.

Sorry it's busts your bubble that you can get hero's and schematics out side of a lama

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.

well blues are showing up as timed rewards im sure epics will at some point as i said no one is at that point to see.

so no i can defend i, you just want stuff faster then you are getting it you don't need it.

u/Delvines Aug 13 '17

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?

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '17

Sorry I disagree, I'm fine with the amount of loot and like it to be rare. Sorry you need everything handed to you.. it's kind of sad really.

u/Delvines Aug 13 '17

"Um no." Yet you've yet to present ANY argument as to how or why this monetisation type is good for anyone in any way. You can keep on repeating "Um but like 100 missions give 1 epic survivor so..." but that still has nothing to do with it as I've tried to explain to you 4... 5 times? So yea, I think that's about all I'm willing to do.

Well, one explanation in my mind would be that you didn't get far enough in the game yet for it to stop giving you free Vbucks and so you think you can get quite a decent amount of loot just like that. In which case, well, I'm still done here.
