Ubisoft Pushes Back On Claims The Division Will Have Microtransactions

“@Tovarisc_ There will be no microtransactions, and definitely no P2W”

TwoForce3750d ago

Keep saying like that, Ubi ! It will pop up eventually.

DarkOcelet3750d ago

Its already there, they are just not calling it Microtransactions.

TwoForce3750d ago

That's just their excuse.

MegaRay3750d ago

Atleast it's a good excuse .

I hate when publishers announce day one DLC / microtransactions with a straight face, it buggs me.

TwoForce3750d ago

I don't know it good excuse or not.

ULTp0ltergeist3749d ago

Who cares as long as it's done right. Great game btw

Pongwater3750d ago

I'm sure there will be microtransactions, if not right away then at some point, but I couldn't care less as long as whatever they sell isn't "pay to win" stuff.

cash_longfellow3749d ago

Thank you for saying "couldn't care less" the proper way. I see people say "could care less" all the time and it bothers me, have a like, lol!

Jakallov33750d ago

I don't really mind micro transactions as long as they offer cosmetic stuffs only, gun skins, clothing, emotes... all that is fine by me.

ASSASSYN3749d ago

Same. Does not bother me one single bit.

ThunderPulse3749d ago

It should because its content cut from the game that you can't unlock/earn by playing.

n4rc3749d ago

unless you had it and now you dont, it wasnt cut

ULTp0ltergeist3749d ago

yup, game is too much fun to let it spoil it. I'm sure they've learned from games like Halo 5 where it's done right.

Pongwater3749d ago

@Thunder - You have no idea if anything you just stated as fact is true.

Jakallov33749d ago

@ThunderPulse Okay there may be occasions where DLC's or micro transactions might have been cut but where do we draw the line? I define micro transactions in multiplayer games as "adding extra, non game braking elements".

There won't be microtransactions and no it's not already there. There's a currency called pheonix credits people are just assuming about, even though Ubisoft have already stated you will earn these in game.

The problem with people is you throw that many assumptions around, lies and rumours that you actually have not got a clue at all. Ubisoft won't be doing microtransactions for the division, they have said so and unlike Activision who are money hungry shores I tend to believe Ubisoft.

But yeah those pheonix credits will be earned in game, most likely through time played or through there own bunch of achievements or quests.

Ever since the division got announced people have assumed all sort of crap, spread rumours around and threw out a ton of lies and for what 5 mins of forum fame. It's a joke and you all who do it look like fools as soon as you do it.

Remember the no microtransactions in Destiny, then Activision came out and said they'd be putting them in and then got a ton of backlash and uproar. Uisoft are wise to all that and they'd rather have the community on side and not against them. Ubisoft know that if you do what other publisher and developers do which is ignored your fans and community, you will end up with no one playing your game. Ubisofts and the developers approach to the division has been a lot different to what Activision and bungie handled Destiny. Ubisoft have not alienated us, they have worked closely with the community , taken plenty of feedback and done what the majoraty of fans have asked for.

You know when a publisher dev/devs are in it for gaming or money and ubisoft while ubisofts game will sell like hot cakes on release, they are not in it solely for the money. Ubisoft want to deliver us a game the fans and community enjoy and love and they have succeeded every step of the way.

After playing the alpha and beta I can honestly say to a console player that for a while this is as close as to a pc mmorpg's were going to see for a bit. You should take note of that as any mmorpg's fan who owns a console would have to be mad to not get the division..

The division has everything needed that makes an mmorpg's for a start, it will have a decent story as Ubisoft are by far the best at telling espionage/terrorism where a Tom Clancy game is concerned..the game looks fantastic. Ubisoft have remained proactive with changes, patches and adding to the game. The dynamic weather system looks stunning. Socially you could not get a better faster connecting game (ain't that the truth). Tons of weapons in just the beta, wait till final release. A crafting system. Skills within skills (so far a Diablo style system) where each skill changes with there different variants. A huge map to explore above and below. Tougher difficulties. A season pass that will actually offer not just dlc but supply drops, special and seasonal events (now that's worth it even just for the seasonal). As well as skills you get talents. As.well as guns you get to mod them. You are not restricted in anyway to class building. Play solo, co op or go PvP. A PvP mode that actually you only see on pc, console players first real PvP zone where there are no rules, the darksone is ruthless but even a solo player can own there.

If I had more time i could think of more reasons as to why division trumps anything that's out at the moment and it may certainly be game of the year and it deserves it to.

TwoForce3749d ago

Hopefully the game have more content than I expected.

Dissidia3749d ago

@Zerocarnage bubble up to you sir. Most thorough response I've seen about The Division.

zerocarnage3749d ago

Thank you kindly dissidia, your very welcome..

IaMs123749d ago

People are assuming a lot about this stuff because almost EVERY DAMN GAME does it now. So its safe to assume.

30fps sucks. Especially on an OLED.
