      First of all, you should ask "Why". I don't usually reply to this type of comments but it's getting frustrating and I do use AI voice in my channel to convey the message, as I have uncontrollable tics when reading something longer than 7 seconds. AI voices has been a big help to do what I love, and I'm constantly trying to improve my videos. The other problem is that I'm not a native english speaker because I live in SEA, and it's becomes harder to read english words with my current state. I did not say a word about this for years, because I was ashamed of my current condition, and I just always say that it's better with the AI voices. You don't exactly know me, and to insult me like that is just pure stupidity.

    Nexon really showed their total lack of shame with the RNG paint. One of the best gifts you can give a new warframe player is color pallets, which makes DE non-trivial money. Anyone spending a penny on the paint system needs to be shamed for mindlessly rewarding leaders who belong in poverty not management.

      I'll be the first to call them out if they get greedy but they immediately reverted on the paints after feedback... That is a very good thing. They actively listen to feedback and change things accordingly. I don't blame them having a battle pass being F2P unlike that shithole Destiny 2 which charges full game price + has season pass + has eververse. Bungie is the definition of greedy.

If that's the case, you'll have to look it up because you won't have problems with just this game, you'll have problems with any game made in the new Unreal engine if it compiles shaders.

      Battle Pass is not good monetisation. It's greedy monetisation that focuses on the FOMO aspect, just like Destiny 2.

I could have bought it for something like Nexon's other big game, THE FINALS, but grindy PvE MMOs like this don't really work with Battle Passes.

    From the first open beta that i played they just took the same formula of warframe then adapted it. But if you’re not bothering with pvp you can most likely skip the battle pass as long as it’s not locking store and ect behind it. I want them to not go scummy because DE need some competition to step up as a 2000h player started back in a year after if drop in PS it needs content for its longer term players and stop handing everything out to newer comers like it currently is like Steel path circuit should only be allowed for people who completed the steel path star chart because those weapons are very game changing

    I think the best f2p monetization is Path of Exile. Most of what you can buy is cosmetics. They're expensive af, but when the game is free you feel less bad about paying $30 for a skin. The only "pay to win" thing about it is stash tabs for holding more crap, which is:
    1) not technically necessary if you're committed.
    2) cheap AND go on sale like every 3 weeks.

    Well, going off your logic You said it's not yet since there is nothing in the store that gives you an Unfair Advantage... That isn't true at all at launch at least.
    Usually, I am okay with paying for convenience stuff as I play games like Guild Wars 2 and other Mmorpgs.
    But there is a very thin line between the pay-for-convenience stuff being paid to win and not.
    Paying for stuff now that would otherwise be locked to something like a 30 or so-hour grind is a bit pay-to-win at launch at least.
    So, in the store, you can buy every single character instantly instead of doing the stupidly long grind for one.
    You can buy end-game mats to level up your gun and character right off the bat in 20+ stacks.
    You can buy some end-game mats that otherwise take many hours to grind for.
    Buying the Battle Pass gives you Bonus Weapon and character Xp...
    That is 100% an unfair advantage over others at launch at least.

    I'd love to be hopeful, but the Triple-A industry drained any good will I'm willing to grant them, even CDPR failed with Cyberpunk's launch, I don't trust any of them any more, with very few exceptions, like FromSoft, Grinding Gear Games or the Monster Hunter team.
    And I certainly don't trust Nexon nor a dev team that already had history of bad monetization.
    Even indie games, which I love, can get greedy, it's rare since their success relays on good will and word of mouth.
    DE had the benefit of being independent, at least until recently, so they fell into the same category of relaying on the good will of the community.
    I still have some trust in DE, since Tencent owns Grinding Gear Games and they are still doing a great job, so hopefully Tencent will leave DE to fo their thing

Now peoples argument is fortnight. That doesn't count because we are talking about kids playing that game and skins being something younger players care about.

      Doesn’t need to have PvP in order to have P2W. P2W is to make the game more easier to beat than it already is…. But again it’s Nexon and they are very well known for stealing money, secretly changing Rng drop rates, & shutting down the game after they either make enough money or not making money. Apparently this is Nexon first AAA game so hopefully it not bad as I think it is.

      Not sure if you can farm the caliber. It states in the game that it's a very rare resource to purchase special items, given you that hope that it can be farmed in-game, but I'm not going to give you false hope as it's a battlepass system and most system like this in free to play genre will reward you with the currency through either doing a specific task or leveling the season (just like in apex), but it can't be farmed usually just like platinum in warframe wherein you can sell items in exchange for the currency.

      Fortnite is one of those Battle Passes that I give an absolute pass(get it?) to. Same with Dead by Daylight's. If you buy the Battle Pass and complete it, it gives enough currency to buy the next one as long as you've finished it. That means people that don't want to spend money but have a lot of free time can grind stuff like it out once and then have enough premium currency to buy the next one, plus some extra currency.

    The only thing they did not show in the technical test with the micro transactions is how much is it going to cost. That's going to be a big make or break on the microtransactions. Also having colors behind a gacha system isn't bad but when you limit that color to being used once and only once until you get it again sucks. I feel better as solution would be it's an item that gets used while it's slotted so if you want to use that color on another descendant you just have to go pull it off and then put it on the other one. But a one-time oh you got this in the gotcha and you can use it forever is also kind of nice, but may cause issues with their monetization strategy. But also be nice to be like oh I want colors from here even if it was just a, I got to pick the colors finish, or even a color and I get shavdes within that color.
