Joke? Pc players have to pay for Imperial City?

washlov

after one year sub
after one year beta test for console
after one year without real content
after one year lag in cyrodiil
after one year paying for consol development
after one year following the carrot on the stick
after one year bad communication and promises
after one year ......

there have to be really much content in IC after this long waiting and for that price!

PC paid one year sub and console not, for what we paid?

ThyIronFist

Yeah this entire thing is just an insult to loyal PvPers that have been playing this game since beta, oh wait we're still in beta.

Still have to wait a month and a half... I can't even...

SantieClaws

Every new zone from B2P day onwards was always going to be paid for DLC. That's been pretty clear I think.

Sagatho

because they want to, they dont care about your loyalty or bla bla bla you say, they want money and dude is DLC! everyone must pay for DLC so i dont want to by rude but stop de QQ

Sausage

You let yourself fall into it, isnt it pretty clear this is still beta.

Sallington

Apparently content, one single "zone", that takes over a year to release is worth 1/3 of the price of the whole base game.


Get used to paying $20 for every additional zone they release.

BeardLumber

Of course we have to pay for IC, it's new content. Just because we've been paying for this game from the start doesn't mean we deserve free things.

Everyone needs to stop feeling entitled, it's not a very attractive look.

The whole point of the subscription model is that content like this is part is part of the service. A lot of us basically funded this content from launch, and are now being charged again to purchase the content we already funded with our $15/month.

Either way, this shouldn't be more than $10 in crowns. $15 MAX.

Penguiins

The title suggests console users don't have to pay! If only..

Can understand your frustration, though not being a PC player haven't experienced it.

JD2013

Either pay $20 or have a sub.

Those are your options. They made it clear all new zones would cost. Is it right? Maybe not. Is it business? Yes. You don't get DLC zones for free in any game.

People will pay 30$ for a blue horse, but 25$ for actual content is an outrage

Cherryblossom

Weird I'm sure IC was promised before it went B2P.
Then again they have promised so many things!

The subscription model hasn't existed since March, as a result of it failing. You don't deserve anything. Did players who started FF14 when it fell flat on its face for a year have to pay once it was relaunched? Of course they did. Buying a bad product doesn't entitle you to free stuff just because it improves.

I agree. They've been abundantly clear. Never once have they even hinted that this content would be free.

The user and all related content has been deleted.

In my case it will be free because I subbed and since Limited launched the store has offered nothing too good to pass up....so despite being unsubbed now, I'm still sitting on the crowns for having subbed and will buy it with them.


Considering they were charging 3000 for a mount reskin...2500 for actual content seems cheap to me. Assuming you weren't distracted by baubles anyone that subbed should be able to get this free with the payoff crowns.

I've maybe seen that horse maybe twice since it was released.

I see it literally every day in Belkarth. If anything, it's more popular than I anticipated it being.

I've been paying a sub from the start, I know how the subscription model works and I still don't feel entitled to the new content.

But believe me when I say it would have been nice to receive IC for free...but come on, do you honestly believe that they would miss the opportunity to capitalize on their first DLC release?

P3ZZL3

It's more the fact that it was supposed to be released well before now - in-fact 1.5 years ago come release date depending on who you listen to.

That's the bit that is getting to people.

Personally, I've paid for a couple of months subscription and didn't think it's worth it and paid £10 for the base game.

I would have liked to see IC be Patch rather than DLC - but you can buy 3000 crowns for £15 and still have spare for the motif when it comes out on the store

Skiserony

They dropped forced subscription, it's only normal we have to pay for it. It's good they will have (hopefully) a good income from it.

And if you're subbed it doesn't even matter.

I am personally excited, even though it'll take 1.5 month at least but it's finally coming.

nimander99

The real joke is it's 2500 crowns vs 3000 crowns for a skin, thats the real joke. Nothing wrong with paying devs for a fantastic product that provides actual gameplay! Don't get it twisted.

LameoveR

It's just 2500 crowns.
I've got my 1000 from being "loyal", now i have to pay only +1500 crowns. Good God! It's almost 1\3 of my friday's beer-bar session!
ZOS, Have mercy!!!
/joke

NotSo

Nah, I invested rougly $280 in this game through prepurchase and sub. I'm not paying any more.

RazielSR

Yes OP. This seems a joke. Forced pvp and you have to pay for it. Doesnt matter if you have been here eating bugs since beta. Doesnt matter if youve been subbed. You are just another random $$$oul in this molag ball'$ realm.

AlnilamE

We should really start taking bets on how many thread about this are going to pop up today.

OP: If you subbed for a year, you got enough crowns in the TU conversion to cover the IC DLC.

If you chose to spend them on something else, that's another story.

bertenburnyb16_ESO

I didnt expect it to be free, but know alot of people were hoping for it
now where did I leave that popcorn..... ah here it is

Forced PvP already exists. How can you not see this? If you're a stam based DPS who enjoys PvE and you're NOT using Ravagers or Caltrops, you're doing it wrong. Forced PvP has always existed in this game. This is no different.

I agree with you. Those of us that put up with the lack of updates, bugs, Cyrodil performance, etc. since beta SHOULD be mad. They basically try to sweep that under the run and charge us 1/3 of the price of the game itself for content that's taken over a year to release.

If you think the IC is not going to suffer from the same problems as Cyrodil, you are gullible. And maybe they'll fix a bug here or their, but they'll be too busy trying to sell you then DLC for $20 to really care.

And you'll buy it, because hey, it's only $20 right?

Take your popcorn to the PC thread

Yeah, I'm surprised by how many people are shocked that we have to pay for the DLC.

Wizzo91

It was pretty clear from the start of b2p that you will have to pay for DLCs. Its an essential part of the model.

If you are still subscribed you will be able to play it for free until you unsub, so essentially nothing changes.


The market will decide on the price. If 20$ is too much and nobody buys it they will drop the price rather quickly. So if the price is too high for you, don't complain - just don't buy it. That's how the free-market economy works.

(Considering that some(many) people spend over 2000 crows for a mount re-skin, the price seems pretty decent actually and most people will probably buy at 20$).

Also the fact that you subscribed before b2p does not entitle you to anything. What do you expect from a western business? Ultimately it is all about making money. Why would they not?

EDIT: I agree with you guys, giving long time subscribers the dlc for free even if they unsub would of been great. But did you really expect it?

Oh well yes in something else created by Zos so they cand charge you later for the dlcs.

Soon you will have you level 50 for 2k crowns or your vr for 20k as many of us advanced many months ago. Dont beleive me? Save this post.

You're wasting time trying to argue. There are too many people who feel bad that they paid for a bad product for so long. Now that it's better they feel they deserve something.
