Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint - First Look At Post-Launch Support | Forums

[GTAJJ]

Because you're deleting comments, I have to repost.



I'm Gearscore 252 just to prove how much I have experienced the game so I am not some person who has jumped on some hate train. I bought this game Day 1 from my preorder. The MTXs that are paywalled are also paywalled to all users, despite if they have paid the top Edition. They need to be open to Year 1 Pass owners at the very minimum.

There are loads of items that you cannot earn and HAVE to pay to get. These items are the most popular and some are even from Wildlands which was available in there for free day 1. Most of the outfits are split, with bottoms to be unlocked and top only available via real money. And yeah Year 1 content pass owners are also paywalled.

They asked for a multi tiered edition and also a Year 1 pass and then not state that they had Ghost Coins hidden and that all the money we just spent on that Ultimate/Gold and Year 1 content pass "doesn't count" with these MTX cosmetics. Only to find out these paywalled cosmetics are part of the base game, including Wildlands content.

There isn't full disclosure. At no point did Ubisoft announce Ghost Coins widely, it was a small paragraph within a blog post on a forum; this is obvious why they didn't use all funnels of communication but had to post it some where to cover themselves. And at no point did Ubisoft announce there are paywall cosmetics even if you're a Year 1 content pass owner. However:

Give me official details from Ubi about items sold separately.

Give me official details from Ubi about items from Wildlands that were free from Day 1 are now paywalled in Breakpoint.

Give me official details from Ubi that items we were using in OTT1/OTT2 were now in paywalls.

They knew this. They chose to not disclose this information. How can one simply " do some research on what you get before blindly buying titles" when there is no information? In the past, all Year 1 Ubi passes have given content on Day 1 or gave the ability to get it. So why assume different here? Here we are not and is unacceptable and need to be changed.

If I said you can get a bottle of water for $10 and you get a full bottle. We do the same thing for years and years, until one day, randomly, I give you half a bottle of water. And then I say "It's still a technically a bottle. I didn't say the surface value".

That "gotcha" attitude is why we need to let everyone know what is up with this game in terms of "micro"transactions.

Actually when you purchase a copy of Gold/Ultimate off the shelf , it has the title "FULL Game" Written on the front notifying the player before purchase that they will get the complete experience.

This isn't written on standard editions so they can wriggle out of it there. On Gold and Ultimate? They are currently robbing us with a lie and misleading cover.

There are communities in GR that love to role play, cosplay, mil-sim and this all affects their personal experience. You have people who are OCD and completionists that monetisates their illnesses/addictions with Day 1 incomplete stuff.

Also the ghillie suit is also P2W since it gives cosmetic advantage.

Buying the game = Paywall

Buying the Year 1 Content Pass = Paywall

Buying Ghost Coins because that Day 1 content isn't part of the Year 1 pass = Paywall

The fact someone can be paywalled 3 times in this game is disgusting. A Year 1 pass should have every paid cosmetic. Simple as that. Even standard users should have an ability to at least earn it or pay for it if they want to skip it.

I, as an Ultimate Edition consumer and a Year 1 Content Pass owner:

I am left with a inventory of padlocks of outfits

Outfits which conveniently are split in half, with the bottoms unlockable and the top behind a MTX.

Locked Outfits of bosses in the game that I have defeated.

Locked Outfits that are in Wildlands Day 1 for free.

I am left with greyed out boxes everywhere.

Store content should be:

Purchasable but fair (lower prices)

Earnable for Standard users

Unlocked for Year 1 Pass Owners

Hopefully that explains it. Thank you for reading this.


Now the real information is out there. Information they refused to disclose to use prior to buying the product.

3 paywalls for Gold and above users.

Content paywalled from Wildlands that was free in there.

Content in the base game and OTTs and Betas are now paywalled.

There are more Face gear paywalled than earnable.

There are more camos paywalled than earnable.

There more tops that work with the balaclava paywalled.

The bosses outfits you defeat in the this very game are paywalled.

Majority of the outfits are purposely cut in half and the top half is paywalled.

A year 1 pass does not give access to this content even though it was made and published Day 1 - Year 1.

The games front cover says "Full Game", yet Day 1 content is locked behind paywalls.

Facts.

People can make their mind up after reading the truth.

When will the AI team be added so that I consider buying the game?

This game SHINES when you play with friends - if you don't have any, find - trust me, the AI guys will never be as much fun as just 2/3 other team mates.

Long message up above, sorry brah... I'm too busy enjoying the game to worry about purchasing extra goodies and such with real money, which btw is all a choice.

That is also a fact, regardless of your game edition. What you paid for is to play the game. Everything else is optional, including dlc... But ok I know what u mean, u should have purchased the simple version then worry no more.

It's false advertising. It states FULL GAME. Full equates to complete. The "extra" goodies are not extra, they were day 1 content. That were in the beta 5 months ago.

I know what u mean. Respect to you all because everyone has made their own valid reasons and opinions of the game... While I'm not trying to bash anyone who doesn't think of the game as anything positively good about it. We've all got different taste, expectations ect, so I could never agree not disagree with another's opinion as it's theirs.... But we are here complaining to each other in hopes someone can actually do something about it

100% agree with you too.

Although what I wrote wasn't an opinion, but a fact. I did write my opinion in there but based upon the facts as of current. I really do hope it gets changed because if I didn't care, I wouldn't be here writing about it. I want to see it be great but I need to point out the flaws for them to fix. I'm sure you understand.

I've spoken to a Ubi official directly about it and they have said they will pass the info along so fingers crossed.

I am enjoying the game a lot, even more than I did Wildlands, but now when I finally get season pass, I am worried about the lenghts of chapters/additional content :/ 5hrs of new content every chapter doesnt sound like much, in comparison to season passes of (for example) Deus Ex or Witcher 3. Plus game is out autumn 2019, 2nd chapter winter 2020, but 3rd is not until summer? That will be long pause

Exactly! Same case here - gold edition + Y1. It is simply disgusting to see what Ubisoft has done with this franchise! I am Gear Score 252 in Breakpoint and I have 3100+ hours of Wildlands, having much more weapons, uniforms, camos unlocked for free in Wildlands. THIS game is a sloppy attempt to make money faster! Full game?! Are you kidding?

Edited: Breakpoint has a good point tho: its vegetation (and water effects in some points) is better than Wildlands. That's it!

Make this more like Wildlands drop the looter shooter. We want our Schooter damn it, not a division 2 clone! All your games are like the same, keep Ghost recon as a shooter! I remember building my pc specifically for Wildlands if I did it for this game, I would have been very disappointed.

Edit. And drop the harsh Microtransactions, pay to win and lock every thing up with a paywall we the customers who bought it paid 60 dollars for it already!
