The phrase “the intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment” became a meme among video gaming communities. This response led to a flurry of backlash against EA and Star Wars Battlefront II. Our team will continue to make changes and monitor community feedback and update everyone as soon and as often as we can. We appreciate the candid feedback, and the passion the community has put forth around the current topics here on Reddit, our forums and across numerous social media outlets. Among other things, we’re looking at average per-player credit earn rates on a daily basis, and we’ll be making constant adjustments to ensure that players have challenges that are compelling, rewarding, and of course attainable via gameplay. The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes.Īs for cost, we selected initial values based upon data from the Open Beta and other adjustments made to milestone rewards before launch.

This age of “micro-transactions” has gone WAY too far. I’ll be contacting EA support for a refund… I can’t even playing f****** Darth Vader?!?!? Disgusting. Seriously?

In November 2017, /u/MBMMaverick took to the /r/StarWarsBattlefront subreddit to complain about the fact that, despite having paid the full retail price for Star Wars Battlefront II, the iconic Sith Lord Darth Vader would be locked behind microtransactions: The massive amount of negative feedback in regard to EA’s explanation as to why certain characters in Star Wars Battlefront II were locked behind microtransactions has been recognized as the “most-downvoted comment on Reddit” in the latest edition of The Guinness Book of World Records.
