Electronic Arts made Darth Vader in Battlefront 2 for four times cheaper. But the players are still unhappy

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 publisher Electronic Arts has announced that the cost of Darth Vader and other in-game characters will be reduced by 75 percent. The publisher made this decision due to the dissatisfaction of the players with the inflated cost of the characters.

Now Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker each cost 15,000 credits, which are units of in-game currency that are issued for certain achievements in single-player and multiplayer modes. Emperor Palpatine, Chewbacca and Leia Organa will cost 10,000 credits each; finally, Iden Versio became worth 5 thousand credits.

Before that, all the characters cost four times as much. Because of this, according to rough estimates, for the sake of one Darth Vader, you would have to play 40 hours. However, the players found that not everything is so simple. Along with the reduction in the cost of heroes in Battlefront 2, has decreased by four times - from 20 thousand to five. the reward for completing the single-player campaign

Reddit users suggested that in this way the creators of the game decided to maintain the initially laid down balance: after completing the campaign for Versio, the player receives the required amount of credits to purchase this character. The amount of remuneration for other achievements has not changed; Darth Vader can now supposedly be saved up in a few hours.

Another reason for dissatisfaction with Electronic Arts was the disappearance from the company's website of the button for processing the return of its games. This happened shortly after a post on Reddit by a player outraged by the overpriced Darth Vader - he wrote that he issued a refund, as he considers it wrong to have such restrictions in an $ 80 game (An electronic arts representative comment on this entry received the lowest rating for the entire history of Reddit; at the time of writing - minus 677 thousand points).

Forum users joked that now they would have to hang on a telephone line for half an hour to earn enough credits to connect with a specialist, but later it turned out that it was possible to process a refund online - the button can be found through Google .

November 15 Electronic Arts is going to arrange a session answering questions from players on Reddit. Star Wars: Battlefront 2 releases on November 17 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
