Why first Premium Track should be given to "Year 1" holders
So, at start let's say one thing completely clear:
The new expansion pack is probably something what we need in the game right now.
I really enjoy the fact, that we are seeing the full expansion pack to the world of SHD.
However, on the other hand, we have to say, that people who trusted You a year ago have a full right to feel cheated.
It's interesting, that the Year 1 Pass was the same price as WoNY expansion pack - 30EUR.
And now let's compare what we are getting in each of them.
Expansion pack gives You whole new map to explore, plenty of missions, Season Tracks, new progression and higher level cap.
What were we given in Year one? A week of early stuff of really non inspiring addons.
After what we knew from The Division 1, when in first year we got UG, Surv, LS - we kinda expected same, and believed in You to deliver.
That's why many players decided to go for Ultimate/Gold Editions of the Division 2. And we got pretty much ripped.
My game looks absolutely NO DIFFERENT than the game of regular edition. There is absolutely nothing I can do currently, in comparison to people who paid these 30 EUR less for a regular edition of the game. I literally paid 30 EUR for nothing. And almost every friend of mine friends from our Discord feels the same.
The Year 1 pass was a huge disappointment and ripoff.
Not to mention, it was meant to be Year 1 pass. We would like to remind, that the game was launched at 12.03.
New expansion is coming in 04.03 - so easily within the first year after launch.
And despite I understand that the expansion pack should be priced, according to amount of work it had to done, it still doesn't feel nice to those, who believed in You, and pre-ordered Ultimate Editions of Division 2...
The new expansion pack, will introduce the the Seasons, with the reward tracks. The premium tracks are meant to be paid separately.
For those who did purchase Ultimate/Gold editions, and will decide to purchase WoNY expansion pack - the first Premium Track should be granted for free.
Simply as a recompensation of very disappointing year one updates...
FYI...that is not rain on your face. LOL
Notwithstanding, this new paid DLC is 4 freaking missions. How is that any different than Ep1 or Ep2 or even Ep3? and you get the privilege of paying for having all your post TU6 builds wrecked. I bet all that time spent in the DZ looking for Ferocious Calm + Vital was time well spent. I personally can’t wait to farm for that backpack with, “calculated”. That is going to change the whole game for me or maybe NOT.
