pay to win ?

darth vader and luke skywalker 60,000 ?

Sucks if we really need to grind out 40 hours to unlock Jedi / Sith Lords.

Saw IGN's gameplay using Kylo-Ren, so imbaa

Latest patch reduced the cost to 15k for Vader & luke

They reduced it by 75% already after all the backlash, i played like 2 hours and i have already unlocked Vader so its very achievable.

2 hours is 25%? So 100% is 8 hours?

How did the guy online calculated 40hours to unlock Vader? Lol.

Nvm..

Because initially it was 60k credits for each hero, now its 15k credits, its very easy to get 15k credits especially due to the milestone rewards.

40 hours is alot

Then the dude in reddit who claim one hero needs 40h to unlock is far away from bullseye.

Or did he meant 40h to unlock all heroes? I glimpse the vid yesterday. Lemme try find it back. XD

Fully occupied with work these few sara. But will be trying this for the first time this Friday. Anyone want coop? Let's hook up : )

during early access for Origin Access/EA Access on PC/Xbox the cost for unlocking Vader & Luke was 60k. now they patch the game on day 2 after the early access release and drop it to 75% from 60k.

no need play lah. go busy with your work.

after all these fiasco, i think i won't buy this game until it is completely free or at least 50% off the original price. EA basically treat this game using P2W model, but still charge you a full game price.

And yes you didn't see wrong. 40 hour to unlock a hero. They did the math using the spreadsheet. If you do not have time to go reddit and see what's is happening, let me just summarize the current event for u.

1. To unlock 1 hero, yes 1 hero u didn't read it wrong, you will need at least 40k. The most expensive one is 60k, darth vader and luke skywalker is among the most expensive one.
2. You cannot unlock hero through loot crates or aka loot boxes. You can only unlock using credits.
3. To earn credits, you either earn from completing matches or buy loot boxes using real money.
4. Earning credits by completing matches will be the same for everyone, even though you placed last of that match. For example, if you perform very well, rank 1st in the match, your credit earned will be completely same as the the person who ranked last. People also proved that you can farm those credit through AFK for the whole match. Some match which ended short will have shorter credit earn for example the rebel failed to capture the 1st objective so the match ended. The longer the match, the higher the credit u can earn.
5. People from game review website already proved that buying loot crates will make you very powerful since u already have all the rare star cards equip and credits u got from loot crates to upgrade to even more powerful star cards.
6. Arcade mode have a time limit on how u earn your credits. For example if you complete today arcade mode and earn 300 credits, u need to wait 24 hours later to earn that credit if u play the same arcade again.
7. EA have already reduced the cost to unlock hero to 10k, BUT they didn't tell u that they reduced the credit earn per match.
8. People have started to cancel their pre-order from EA until EA even remove the refund button from their online sale website, have customer have to call their customer service to help them do the refund.
9. EA going to do an AMA on reddit on Wednesday to do damage control, and it will be interesting to see how it goes.

EA did the same shit for need for speed, and now they are doing this on the most beloved movie franchise.

I wish hacking software would release hacks for this.
Hacks to give you infinite points or something.

If they do. Technically it's not cheating online as everything can be legally owned. Thats just denying EA their greedy cash grab.

FK EA and all their future games.
Im done with them.
After they back step a bit...it is still BS.

You need to play minimum 10hours to get to play vader...another minimum 10 hours grind just to get your hands on luke....the rest also will totally more than 20 hours to unlock.

Remember that all those 10hours are not fun grinding play...you will get your ass kicked all the time because you do not have good cards because you will spend your credits to unlock those characters. sigh...fun EA.

of course unless you're a whale.....you willing to flush another hundreds of dollars on top of 60 dollars that you pay to play the game. Good shit.

it's like playing counter strike with other team get rifle and you can only buy a gun

Oh this is a very detailed summary. Thanks!

Honest opinion, whether Luke or Vader needs 120 hours or 1 hours to unlock, don't really care much. I joined other game's with ppl chilly equipped with god armor while I'm holding a wooden stick before. Just going to go on and do our things. This feels like playing on high difficult setting now. 1 star card fight against full star card. Our health 100 enemy players health 250. This is going to be sadistically hard as he'll!

Okay where do I sign? Lol

And on side note im enjoying this as much as i can!! Pew pew pew !!

Yep its so fun, the most OP hero team is Vader, Kylo Ren, Darth Maul and Boba Fett.

Yeap.
Only rather than just a few matches.
This handicap will be permanent unless you pay loads of money or play for a very very long time.

They should had given the option to unlock at least 60-70% of the items just by going through the campaign itself.

One of the main reason I hate EA like multiplayer fps these days. Pay to win.

Morning peeps, is this true? Anyone that already start playing can confirm this?

temporarily i guess. i don't think EA is that stupid to remove it entirely and permanently.

You must remember.

EA is evil. There's no way they going to remove it just because of a bad press.

Once everything is calmed down, then they will add it back again.
