I'll say this... if the Arcade mode ends up being multiplayer, 4 player co-op AND my three regular pals are all gung-ho about getting it, I will make the purchase as well.
Fat chance on the latter part though, as two of them have never touched a dlc character (well, one of them bought the Cent I guess, w/e).

30$ is a fair asking price when considering the steel you would be paying for those elite outfits.
the pve mode is good in the sense that it gives those who arte not up to snuff in actual pvp to grind it out the ability to get the same gear.
plus you can even invite someone who doesn't have the dlc to play with you.
The faction will eventually participate in the war. Just not when it launches. We will probably get an actual season pass for another year of heros announced before years end.
either way it's something i'll be picking up with money at some point since I don't have the steel to buy all the heros. and I could see myself playing pve just to wind down or have a chill evening.

Nah this isn’t justifiable. 4 new heroes, compared to 8 for the same price, when with the 8 you still had to buy whatever outfits you wanted, and elite outfits are only 7000 steel, so that price is really a non-issue here.
As you guys are saying it’s 30 bucks and same price as last years season pass, that means it’s gonna be roughly 60 AUD for me. So that means I’ve got to pay nearly the full price off this game when it first came out, as I paid $64 AUD for the disc standard edition from a retailer here. Content is really lacking. I was expecting to pay 30AUD for all this, but now I’ve got to pay literally double? Yeah, this is a cash grab, and it’s disgusting.

They say 4 new heroes with the update, and it’s not a season pass we are buying, just a paid DLC update. It’s an even bigger kick in the nuts that the heroes are locked behind this paywall until Ubisoft decide to make them available to everyone at probably 15000 steel each.

Ok so essentially what we are paying for is early access to four heroes everyone will get with steel, same as before with two less heroes, elite outfits for them as with the original season pass and a game mode that some may or may not play. On that basis it would depend on a few things.
Do you want the heroes early?
Do you want them without paying steel for them?
Are you going to get something out of the PVE?
I can only speak in my own case but I quite like having them early and I quite like having them unlocked without paying 60,000 steel, the steel I have, currently around 25,000, I can use to get executions and outfits, on top of that I would need to buy steel that would cost not much less than the dlc in order to get all four (I have ocd, I need them all unlocked), for all the heroes, buying 60,000 steel as opposed to earning it in game would certainly cost more (with in game earning still being an option) before you count outfits and game modes.
The PVE mode? Eh I can take it or leave it, if I can get xp for going through it I would be more on the side of take it.
At a first glance, I would say for me it is worth it because it gives me the heroes, I would also say I had figured on about £30 for a new season pass and this is around that range (£25.99), but I can also see where people aren't willing to pay for that also, this isn't a season pass, it is DLC. If a proper season pass came out, I would look at what they are promising before paying money but again if it is heroes I would likely get it and in my own case I can budget for that, everyone's circumstances are different and would be part of the equation.
One thing I would say though is that this is not all we are getting in October, we are getting a new game mode in breach that has been asked for in a siege based game mode since near day one and graphical improvements for free and the characters will eventually be available for in game currency, many companies expect real money or bust on both the characters and game modes developed since launch. We also get the gear stat changes which as a 4v4 player with more than one character always on the go and as someone who has argued since day one that we shouldn't be making new players grind if matchmaking is always before character select, horizontal progression rather than vertical is something I am very much for.
In my mind all that also very much tips the scales on do I want to throw a bit of money at them to help further development. People say that they are trying to make money, well, yeah, sure, that's the whole aim and it is a game under continued development, within reason I don't see that as an entirely bad thing. Most of what they put out there is either free or can be bought with in game currency, with that in mind they have better practice than many such as say Battlefield where the new maps are behind a paywall so you lose a chunk of the player base to play against if you don't pay out.

It's $45 aud on the Ps store so I'd imagine it would be the same on the Xbox marketplace.Originally Posted by ChampionRuby50g Go to original post

The problem here, I think, is that in-game pricing are too high. So, you'll pay real money for DLC heroes, and then you will grind for mythical armor, effects, emotes and execution. For Honor is a first game that always want your steel for customization. I have to pay steel every time I want to change the look of my gear. Why? It's all remind me GTA V, when game looking for any chance to take in-game money from you, cause if you could save it up, Ubi will lose a chance to sell a lot of steel packs after new executions release or new limited events stuff.I can only speak in my own case but I quite like having them early and I quite like having them unlocked without paying 60,000 steel, the steel I have, currently around 25,000, I can use to get executions and outfits, on top of that I would need to buy steel that would cost not much less than the dlc in order to get all four (I have ocd, I need them all unlocked), for all the heroes, buying 60,000 steel as opposed to earning it in game would certainly cost more (with in game earning still being an option) before you count outfits and game modes.
The problem here is not in price of MF expansion, but that For Honor now feel like classic free-to-play game like Fortnite, but still want you to pay for something. Like Arcade mode, that definitely shouldn't be under the paywall.
You need to buy Champion Status to tone down grinding in leveling your char, so it's like boosters in free-to-play game. But boosters in AAA price game looks strange to me. Very strange.
All this is a problem. Ubi start to give away their game for free everywhere they can. And this means grind will be even harder, to force this "free" users to but steel packs.
I don't think old community should support this type of monetization, but who cares.

Wow ubisoft, you messed up the balance on most heroes, rather than get all the reworks done asap, you waste time on a pve mode that you want us to pay for, all while saying sorry the steel you wasted on gear is gone. I'm not paying you for a pve mode, I want better balanced pvp modes, I can't beleave how much you take the piss. £25 for a pve mode no thanks I'd rather wait to play the new heroes for free and stick to pvp modes or wait an extra 10 days pay an extra £35 and get rdr2.
