    Where/ when are the "Special events/benefits"

    So I guess I fell victim to marketing or blatant lies from a company that seems to either take their time or just not care. I had gotten the season pass on pre order. for a few reasons, 1 being it was cheaper than buying all 3 separately, 2. outfits and skins that I thought would be exclusive to just Season pass and gold edition players. 3. exclusive content, events/benefits each month.( hell the benefits don't even have to be all that great, double xp, more funds, etc)

    Anyone care to enlighten me on this subject?

    Although I agree with you, no one should ever buy a season pass. You can write an email to the company to get compensation or sue them but that's it.

    I have to buy gold edition, or season pass to get double funds, or xp? Sounds like pay to win, not hard one but still p2w element. Or pay to progress faster.

    I don't have DLC

    I don't have UG - ok
    I don't have new incursion - ok
    I can't get new gearsets - isn't ok. No matter do i need them or not but i still have to pay to get them, and that sucks.

    I heard the special events start when 1.3 update is on all platforms. They will be held in the DZ. It's all rumor.

    how is the new gear sets paid to win? you have to have certain content with DLCs that differ from main game. Its like that with any game with expansions.

    Omg.. You have never played a game with payd DLC's have You?
    You think You should Get all The gearsets for free?
    That wouldent be fair to people that actually paid for The DLC would it?
    You Get The AB set for free, eventough They didn't need to give You that!

    You think the Dev's should keep putting work into a game without making more money just so You can Get your free ****? You dont think They need to Get paid? Get your head out of your *** and just pay for The DLC If You want The ****ty gearsets You cheap ****

    They have already been paid. Dlc is supposed to be additional content. That content is for people that like a game enough to pay a little extra to play a little extra. Not this garbage where you have to get the rest of the content.

    Where I'm going with this is hell yeah you should be able to get gear sets. All gear should be available to all players. I'm not saying give it to everyone, but they should be able to get it. When you make exclusive gear to dlc then you're alienating people for no good reason.

    Maybe if developers (in general) would make content worth playing instead of extra stuff worth having then the cost wouldn't be an issue. My wife bought the season pass for me before launch, which I really regret. But honestly, I don't care if some dude who only had the base game can get gear from content he does not own. So he can't play the new area but can wear its drops? Cool with me. The way it should be is that the gamer that doesn't have the dlc wants to buy it because of the new things to do, not the extra crap you can get.

    Let me give you an example. Final fantasy 7 has had a couple of add on games to its title. But let's say those games were just dlc. Would you still buy them? Even if there wasn't another cool looking sword to have, would you still want it? The answer is yes, because you want the content, the story, the new areas to explore. New stuff is cool but a good addition to a good story is better.

    No games makes all new weapons, armor/gearsets etc available to Non DLC players If it is a part of The DLC. Sorry dude, but it dosnt work that way. They have already been paid for The work They did releasing The game, yes. But not The work They do on gamefixes, support of The game after release etc, You really dont Get that? You really think The Dev's should work for free after a game is released? All The hours They put in The game after release should be for free?

    Look at any game with paid DLC's, take BF, COD and The Witcher for exampels. All of The DLC's contain new weapons, new armor and new Maps/places because You paid for it. You dont pay You won't Get it, it's simple.

    And dude, all of The free gearsets Are better than The DLC ones. Dont really see why anyone wants The gearsets anyway.
